Economic Value Added Creation by Optimizing
Capital Structure in Project Finance
Bryan Charisma, Encep Amir
ABSTRACT:
Infrastructure Projects are large investment by the public and/or private sector that required enormous financial resource commitment to build physical asset and facilities needed for economic development so that the company need project financing to support with. Project finance is based on debt repayment from project companies’ revenue and not on the sponsors or the developer’s balance sheet, so the project companies should assure the cash flow is sufficient for debt repayment and dividend payment. Beside that investors still have to analyze the value crated in that project with highest positive Economic Value Added. Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) need to cover cost of invested capital to create value so that the ratio of NOPAT to total Project cost is should be more than the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The capital structure doesn’t have a optimum weight and cost as long as the NOPAT to asset turnover ratio higher than WACC. .
