Basics of models for financing of chemical plants industry

The financial health and models for financing of chemical plants of and enterprise directly depends on revenues, capital structure and assets.

These factors determine the level of financial stability, liquidity and efficiency of capital use. There is a direct relationship between groups of financial indicators that characterize the financial health of a chemical plant. Indicators of financial stability characterize the capital structure and dependence of the enterprise on external sources of financing and are related to the turnover of accounts payable, while equity is affected by the profit received in the reporting period.

In turn, solvency ratios, which reflect the ability of a chemical enterprise to fulfill its obligations in a timely manner, are closely related to the turnover of working capital and accounts payable.

Financial modeling and forecasting makes it possible to effectively analyze complex and uncertain situations related to strategic decision-making.

Therefore, the models for financing of chemical plants  serves as a financier’s instrument that allows considering a large number of “what if?” scenarios. Forecasting allows project participants to obtain the most likely scenario of business development based on the analysis of the current situation and propose measures for its correction.

Financial modeling is particularly effective for solving time-consuming problems that require extensive practical experience and a high-quality methodological basis:

• Assessment of investment projects, formation and revision of the investment program.
• Comprehensive risk assessment and management.
• Forecasting cash flows and dynamics of the company’s financial condition.
• Carrying out financial calculations of the business plan.
• Determination of optimal options for financing a chemical plant, its volumes and structure.
• Establishing regular business planning and investment decision-making processes.
• Modeling and evaluation of various business development scenarios.

Financial modeling is especially relevant in times of crisis, when the availability and cost of external financing decreases, the risks of loss of liquidity and business stability increase, and the most important condition for business development remains the growth of operational efficiency.

Models for financing of chemical plants provides a single solution to the following problems:

• Simulation of cash flows of planned activities and assessment of future financial indicators of the enterprise under construction.

• Finding and studying project elements, where the company’s financial resources will come from and what they will be spent on.

• Creation of a mathematical basis for project risk analysis and restructuring of the company’s risk management system.

• Ensuring continuous analytical work, allowing to quickly adjust and recalculate possible project options and business development scenarios.

• Significant time savings, as the model allows the financial team to avoid consideration of unacceptable options and unpromising investment projects.

Therefore, forecasting the financial health of the enterprise should be understood as the development of a system of scientifically based assumptions about basic and alternative structural changes in the assets and liabilities of the enterprise.

Given the complexity of the chemical industry in general, which depends on specific technological processes, fuel and electricity prices, market conditions, environmental legislation and many other factors, a complete financial model can be extremely complex and multifaceted.

CP Finance UK Finance’s professional team is ready to help you with financial modeling and forecasting at any stage.

Stages of creating a financial model of a chemical plant

In modern financial literature and practice, a large number of methodological approaches to the analysis and assessment of the financial health of chemical industry enterprises are proposed.

When choosing certain approaches to forecasting financial indicators, the following features of the forecasting environment should be taken into account:

• Macroeconomic risk and uncertainty caused by global events, changes in legislation, market trends and geopolitical upheavals.

• The development of a high-quality financial model requires professional processing of a large amount of information within a strict time frame.

• Most of the financial indicators of an investment project are closely related, so a change in one of them automatically affects the expected values of others.

It is not always possible to obtain a sufficient amount of data to build an accurate and complete financial model.

On the one hand, many innovative technologies in the chemical industry have a short period of practical use, and, therefore, a small amount of accumulated data. On the other hand, the impact of unpredictable factors can lead to both gradual and long-term changes in financial indicators and short-term impulsive deviations. As a result, the horizon of the developed forecast is narrowed, its quality deteriorates, and the scope of its application is significantly limited.

It is advisable to forecast the financial indicators of the enterprise using economic and mathematical modeling.

It allows the project team to display promising scenarios depending on a large number of factors. The adequacy of the forecast depends on the correctly chosen procedure and logic of building the financial model.

Typical stages of creating models for financing of chemical plants:

1. Collection and analysis of initial data for the financial model, including production and financial indicators.

2. Highlighting key factors that are considered drivers of the future financial model.

3. External factors affecting the performance of the chemical plant (market trends, exchange rates, inflation, gas prices, etc.).

4. Development and comparison of financial models of alternative scenarios or variants of investment projects.

5. Calculation of investment and financial indicators, in particular, the terms of long-term investment lending.

6. Analysis of the stress resistance of the project to changes in the external environment (for example, settlements with suppliers).

At the first stage of developing a financial model, information is collected and verified, on the basis of which modeling is carried out.

The reporting must meet the criterion of consistency (a continuous series of reported data) and comparability (the same methods of calculating).

The complexity and planning horizon of the model should be determined by the goal of forecasting and can be justified by increasing the reliability of the forecasted data.

Initial data for the financial model of the chemical project includes numerous macroeconomic indicators (inflation, prices for chemical raw materials and finished products, fossil fuel and energy prices, interest rates, exchange rates), expected sales dynamics for a specific market, operating income and expenses, debt service, taxation and dividends.

The financial model must include the following:

• Dynamic relationships of key project indicators, initial data and project results.

• The results of calculations and the main forms of financial reporting (as a rule, a forecast balance sheet, a profit and loss statement, and a cash flow statement).

• Predictive key financial indicators such as EBITDA, ROA, operating cash flow, debt-to-equity ratio, and integrated performance indicators calculated from initial data.

The experience of the leaders of the chemical industry shows that a high-quality financial model and business plan along with professional technical documentation becomes the foundation of a successful investment project.

Currently, project finance instruments are most applicable to finance large manufacturing companies projects. If you would like to know more about our large manufacturing company financing services, please contact CP Finance UK  team at any time. Our experts are ready to provide you with detailed financial advice.

Project Finance For Manufacturing Companies: basics

Project finance is defined as a method of financing large projects that require significant costs. Other definitions can be found in the world literature, as authors argue about whether project finance is a method, formula, concept or form of financing.

This method was known even in Ancient Greece, where long-distance trade expeditions were financed in this way. Project finance was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the United States, the PF has supported mining and oil production for many decades. Thanks to this method, among other things, the construction of the largest railways in the United States, the construction of the Suez and Panama Canals, the construction of the London Underground, and the Athens airport were carried out. The term “project finance” has not yet found an equivalent in most European languages. This is due to the low awareness of the possibilities of financing large projects through this innovative tool. Therefore, in the literature we can find such translations as “financing of investment projects” or “structured finance”. The latter best describes the essence of the Project Finance.

Terms and stages of Financing a Manufacturing Companies

Project finance is a broad and multifaceted concept. The specific method of financing will determine the procedure for participants at all stages of the life cycle of finance for a manufacturing companies. The PF cycle is a three-stage process similar to the standard investment process, which includes pre-investment, investment and operational phases.

However, the preparation of a manufacturing company project currently takes from 9-12 months to 2 years or more. If the government and international financial institutions are involved in the PF scheme, the process can be much longer.

Search for Manufacturing Companies Projects

The path to financing a manufacturing companies begins with the search and selection of the most promising projects by potential investors.

Investors are constantly looking for projects and receive information about potential projects from sponsors seeking funding.

A reasonable institutional investors hire experienced teams who evaluate investment opportunities professionally. Such teams are able to filter hundreds of projects within a month. Selected projects undergo further comprehensive analysis. At the stages of technical and financial analysis, the range of projects is narrowed.

A set of engineering decisions that determine capital and operating costs, which, along with the parameters of economic efficiency and other criteria for selecting a project, leads to the selection of the optimal project or its variant. As a rule, the investment recommendation is based on an analysis that assumes 100% external funding. Then the project is broken down into several options and analyzed in terms of capital structure and risk distribution among the participants.

Raising Capital for funding a Manufacturing Company

Raising funds to finance a large manufacturing company projects usually takes the form of a letter of intent, which specifies the funding structure. Before signing agreements within the framework of the project finance organization, these proposals are subject to a comprehensive professional assessment. Then the representative of the company will continue the preparation of project documentation.

This work will include, in addition to technical and financial analyses, the preparation of an information memorandum and obtaining the necessary permits. The financial closing of the transaction is associated with the receipt of financing (credit funds). Financing is provided in stages, under the strict control of banks. In some cases, all funds can be immediately made available to the investor, but usually financing is carried out in the form of several tranches, requiring certain conditions to be met and milestones to be reached.

Capital structure in Financing a Large manufacturing Companies

Sources of capital for financing a large manufacturing companies are relatively limited. It is difficult for new companies created to implement an investment project to obtain a high credit rating for a successful issue of securities in the capital market.

Access to the capital market can be obtained if investors attract reliable partners with high creditworthiness and ensure their participation at all stages of the project. The main sources of capital in project finance are own, subordinated debt and borrowed capital, each of which has its own advantages and limitations in practical use.

Equity Finance for Manufacturing companies: Internal resources contributed by the company’s shareholders often form the basis for further financing of the project. Equity means a kind of safety cushion for creditors.

The level of equity in project finance should be balanced, as a high share of loan liabilities in cash flow may prevent debt repayment.

The optimal share of equity, determined based on the profitability of the project and the scale of the assessed risk, should ensure smooth debt servicing. A significant share of equity in the structure of the project is a guarantee of the involvement of shareholders in the project, being responsible for their motivation and interest. Typically, the share of equity in total project costs ranges from 10 to 50%.

CP Finance UK FINANCE LIMITED offers its clients financing up to 90% of the investment costs of the project, which means the minimum financial participation of the initiators.

Subordinated Capital: The main feature of subordinated capital is the contractual subordination to the payment of principal. This character of capital may apply to shareholders, civil works contractors, future partners, commercial banks or other entities associated with investments.

A variation of indirect project financing is mezzanine financing. This is a type of debt capital that carries a high risk. The issue of debt securities, characteristic of this type of financing, is usually combined with a conversion option into shares or an additional right to purchase shares, the so-called warrant.

Borrowed Capital: This capital is preferred in relation to all other debt obligations of the project company. Large projects are usually financed by a group of lenders within a consortium or independently from several sources. Insurance companies and pension funds often provide funds for a long period of up to 20 years, while most commercial banks offer loans for an average of 10-15 years.

CP Finance UK offers financing from 10 million euros and more for a period of 15-20 years, depending on the financial needs of a particular project. Contact our representatives to find out more.

Project finance for large Manufacturing Companies Projects

A characteristic feature of project finance is the way in which funds are raised. In the case of a traditional bank loan, the borrower’s ability to service the debt is critical to providing financing. Project finance is based on an analysis of the profitability of potential investments, depending on the future cash flow of the project.

Despite the many advantages, the implementation of large investment projects using PF has some disadvantages. First of all, the preparatory stage of the project is expensive, and especially high costs are associated with conducting pre-investment research (financial, tax, legal).
