2023 Calculations

2 Interest expense, after tax = Interest expense × (1 – EITR)
= 106 × (1 – 21.00%)
= 84

3 EBIT(1 – EITR) = Net income + Interest expense, after tax
= 854 + 84
= 938

4 RR = [EBIT(1 – EITR) – Interest expense (after tax) and dividends] ÷ EBIT(1 – EITR)
= [93884] ÷ 938
= 0.91

5 ROIC = 100 × EBIT(1 – EITR) ÷ Total capital
= 100 × 938 ÷ 58,360
= 1.61%

6 g = RR × ROIC
= 0.93 × 19.73%
= 18.32%


FCFF growth rate (g) implied by single-stage model

g = 100 × (Total capital, fair value0 × WACC – FCFF0) ÷ (Total capital, fair value0 + FCFF0)
= 100 × (311,083 × 19.31%1,187) ÷ (311,083 + 1,187)
= 18.85%

where:

Total capital, fair value0 = current fair value of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. debt and equity (US$ in millions)
FCFF0 = the last year Advanced Micro Devices Inc. free cash flow to the firm (US$ in millions)
WACC = weighted average cost of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. capital

= 18.32% + (18.85%18.32%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
