MODEL GUIDELINES
So, a quick overview of the model, in the contents tab you can see the structure of the model and by clicking on any of the headlines to be redirected to the relevant worksheet.
On the manual tab you can feed the general information for the model such as: project name & title, responsible, timeline of the model and date and currency conventions.
Additionally, there is a description of the color coding of the model in the same tab. Inputs are always depicted with a yellow fill and blue letters, call up (that is direct links from other cells) are filled in light blue with blue letters while calculations are depicted with white fill and black characters.
There is also color coding for the various tabs of the model. Yellow tabs are mostly assumptions tabs, grey tabs are calculations tabs, blue tabs are outputs tabs (that is effectively results or graphs) and finally light blue tabs are admin tabs (for example: the cover page, contents, and checks).
So, moving on to the "Rev. & Costs" tab, the user needs to fill the yellow cells. For the first year, the user can change the revenue assumptions monthly. For the following years, a yearly growth rate is used for both the unit sales and the sales price.
Regarding the direct cost assumptions, the user needs to set the percentage of third-party trips (up to 100%), the cost margin of 3rd party trips and the cost margin of own trips.
Additionally, the user needs to set the direct labor costs (headcount and salary for the 1st year), and growth rate thereafter.
In the next tab ("SG&A"), the user needs to set the headcount and salary for each position for the 1st year (yellow cells), and with growth rates for the following years. A similar approach is used for the non-labor operating expenses.
The next tab ("Depr") allows the user to set the total investment needed, how this investment will be split over the years, and the depreciation of the investment in years.
Moving to the "WorkCap" tab, the user needs to set the sales, payables, and inventory outstanding days.
In the next tab ("Fin.") the user needs to set the percentage financed by debt, the interest rate of the loan, and debt maturity. The user will also need to set the various discount rates (cost of equity, discount rate premiums) and the growth rate to perpetuity.
Finally in tax tab, the user just needs to set the tax rate for corporate income and the month in which taxes are paid.
In the Outputs tab, monthly and yearly statements are generated based on all previous assumptions.
In the Valuation tab, a valuation is performed along with investment metrics both on a project and equity basis. Additionally, Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan Life Coverage Ratio are calculated.
Moving on to the next tab, a set of graphs summarizes all the major KPIs of the business both from a balance sheet perspective as well as from an income statement perspective.
Finally, in the last tab, various checks are performed and, or are aggregated here from the various worksheets. This tab ensures that everything on this model is working as it should.
All the above are summarized in the "Executive Summary" tab which resumes the most important parts of the model.
Important Notice: Yellow indicates inputs and assumptions that the user can change, blue cells are used for called up cells, and white cells with black characters indicates calculation cells.
