can anyone give me some ideas what effects of buying back stocks has on net income and operating cash flow? Also what kind of effects does exercise an option have on the net income, operating flow and financial cash flow? An example is highly appreciated.作者: dcfox83 时间: 2011-7-11 18:23
Buyback reduces net income and reduces cash from financing
Exercising an option reduces tax outgo and increases operating cash flow. (It'll increase financial cash flow if you record the tax in financing cash flow instead of operating)
If you let people exercise options (and do not buyback shares) it will negatively impact your EPS
Check out pg 595 in CFAI FRA book for example...
