2023 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income (loss) attributable to The Walt Disney Company (Disney) – Dividends) ÷ Net income (loss) attributable to The Walt Disney Company (Disney)
= (2,3540) ÷ 2,354
= 1.00

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income (loss) attributable to The Walt Disney Company (Disney) ÷ Revenues
= 100 × 2,354 ÷ 88,898
= 2.65%

3 Asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Total assets
= 88,898 ÷ 205,579
= 0.43

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total Disney Shareholder’s equity
= 205,579 ÷ 99,277
= 2.07

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.91 × 7.02% × 0.37 × 2.19
= 5.17%


Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model

g = 100 × (P0 × rD0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($102.72 × 16.09%$0.88) ÷ ($102.72 + $0.88)
= 15.11%

where:
P0 = current price of share of Walt Disney Co. common stock
D0 = the last year dividends per share of Walt Disney Co. common stock
r = required rate of return on Walt Disney Co. common stock

1 g1 5.17%
2 g2 7.65%

5 and thereafter g5 15.11%

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

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 5.17% + (15.11%5.17%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 7.65%

g3 = g1 + (g5g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 5.17% + (15.11%5.17%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 10.14%

g4 = g1 + (g5g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 5.17% + (15.11%5.17%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
