2023 Calculations

1 Company does not pay dividends

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income ÷ Net sales
= 100 × 639,998 ÷ 7,123,482
= 8.98%

3 Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Total assets
= 7,123,482 ÷ 3,674,729
= 1.94

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total Super Micro Computer, Inc. stockholders’ equity
= 3,674,729 ÷ 1,972,005
= 1.86

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 1.00 × 3.93% × 1.81 × 1.97
= 14.04%

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

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (47,959,474 × 15.72% – 326,256) ÷ (47,959,474 + 326,256)
= 14.94%

where:
Equity market value0 = current market value of Super Micro Computer Inc. common stock (US$ in thousands)
FCFE0 = the last year Super Micro Computer Inc. free cash flow to equity (US$ in thousands)
r = required rate of return on Super Micro Computer Inc. common stock

Year Value gt
1 g1 14.04%
2 g2 14.27%
3 g3 14.49%
4 g4 14.72%
5 and thereafter g5 14.94%

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by single-stage model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.04% + (14.94% – 14.04%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.27%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.04% + (14.94% – 14.04%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.49%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.04% + (14.94% – 14.04%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.72%
