One of the most basic analytical and underwriting tools a banker must have is the ability to determine whether a borrower can repay its short-term borrowings based on the financial information available.

First, the session will explain the interrelationships among revenue projections, the expenses needed to support seasonal sales growth as well as the working capital assets, fixed assets, and liabilities necessary to support revenue growth. Second, the session will offer tips on how to analyzing underlying assumptions such as profitability, productivity, efficiency, and earnings retention.

Join Dev Strischek in this critical lending webinar as he shows how to use a borrower’s historic financials to project monthly balance sheet, income statement, and cash flows over the borrower’s fiscal year and seasonal expansion and contraction.

Course Objectives:

Financial organizations extend credit to borrowers when the borrowers show the ability to repay the loans extended. Ideally, a request for a five-year loan should be supported by a 5-year cash flow projection, and a request for a seasonal line of credit should be supported by a 12-month cash flow projection to identify when the borrower is likely to borrow and when the borrower can repay the line of credit in full.

Areas Covered:

• Critical role of revenues in projecting financial statements and cash flow

• Projection of income statement, balance sheet and cash flow to calculate loan needed to support projection and ability of the borrower to repay in full

• Evaluation of underlying assumptions including the feasibility of  seasonal revenue growth rate, profitability, productivity, efficiency, earning retention, and leverage

• Calculation of loan amount needed to support financial projection and borrower’s repayment ability

• Analysis of asset collateral base available to support repayment
