Whole Foods Market Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-FCF Calculation

Like the Shiller PE Ratio, the Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-FCF takes the Free Cash Flow per Share from the past 10 years, adjusts it for inflation, and then calculates the average. This average is then used for the P/FCF calculation. Because it considers this 10-year average, it's often referred to as the CAPFCF Ratio.

The Shiller PE Ratio was first used by professor Robert Shiller to measure the valuation of the overall market. The similar calculation is applied by GuruFocus to calculate the Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-FCF.

Whole Foods Market's Cyclically Adjusted FCF per Share for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2017 is calculated as:

For example, Whole Foods Market's adjusted Free Cash Flow per Share data for the three months ended in Jun. 2017 was:

Adj_FreeCashFlowPerShare=Free Cash Flow per Share/CPI of Jun. 2017 (Change)*Current CPI (Jun. 2017)
=0.653/103.3491*103.3491
=0.653

Current CPI (Jun. 2017) = 103.3491.

Whole Foods Market  (NAS:WFM) Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-FCF Explanation

Compared with the regular Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow, which works poorly for cyclical businesses, the Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-FCF smoothed out the fluctuations of free cash flow during business cycles. Therefore it is more accurate in reflecting the valuation of the company.

If a company has consistent business performance, the Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-FCF should give similar results to regular Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow.
