The study examines whether comprehensive income numbers reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have value relevance over net income in equity valuation. We use a sample of firms that are listed in Kuwait Stock Exchange from banking, investment, real estate, industrial, basic materials, telecommunications, consumer services, oil & gas and health care sectors during the years 2012-2015.The study applies a methodology used by Collins, Maydew and Weiss (1997) that is based on Ohlson (1995) equity valuation model and Theil (1971) technique to measure and compare the relative and the incremental explanatory power of comprehensive income and net income. The study provides evidence that comprehensive income is not superior to net income in equity valuation. Reporting other comprehensive income gains and losses as elements of the income statement produces a measure of earnings that decreases the explanatory power of the valuation model; decreases the incremental information content of earnings. Other comprehensive income gains and losses when added as an explanatory variable to the valuation model did not enhance significantly its explanatory power.The results we obtained supports the current requirement by the IFRS and US GAAP of deferring other comprehensive gains and losses and contributes to the literature on the value relevance of other comprehensive income gains and losses in emerging capital markets.

Gains And Losses

Other comprehensive income is the difference between net income as in the Income Statement and comprehensive income, and represents the certain gains and losses of the enterprise not recognized in the Profit or Loss Account. Value relevance of other comprehensive income is under discussion and considering other comprehensive income items all together might be misleading for financial performance. In the view of such information, discussing the value relevance of each other comprehensive income item, judgements are made.

Future Cash Flows

ABSTRACT Gains and losses reported as other comprehensive income (OCI) and as special items (SI) are often viewed as similar in nature: transitory items with little ability to predict future cash flows and minimal implications for company value. However, current accounting standards require SI gains and losses to be recognized in net income, while OCI gains and losses are deferred until realized. This study empirically compares OCI and SI gains and losses using a model that jointly estimates value relevance, predictive value, and persistence. Results show that both SI and OCI gains and losses are value-relevant, but SI gains and losses exhibit zero persistence (i.e., are transitory), while OCI gains and losses exhibit negative persistence (i.e., partially reverse over time). Further, we find that SI gains and losses have strong predictive value for forecasting both future net income and future cash flows, while OCI gains and losses have weaker predictive value. Data Availability: All data are publicly available from sources indicated in the text.

The Impact

Abstract As a consequence of adopting the IFRS in Romania, starting with 2012, for companies whose securities are admitted for trading on a regulated market, financial reporting demarches include ascertaining the comprehensive income in addition to the net income. The present paper aims at investigating how the share price evolves considering the level of the comprehensive income as compared to the reported net income, in a multiannual empirical study implying panel data analysis through Pooled OLS, Fixed Effects and Random Effects models processed through EViews. Furthermore, the informational and decisional utility of the two main forms of disclosed accounting results (the net income and of the comprehensive income) is examined through a sample of 57 notable companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Admittedly, the empirical study findings substantiate the fact that both results categories are significantly associated with the evolution of the share price, rendering a heightened value relevance for the Romanian capital market investors. Moreover, the identified results indicate that from an investor standpoint, the comprehensive income does not bear a greater significance than the net income, the two having comparable impacts over the share price.

The implementation of international accounting standards in Indonesia has significantly affected financial reporting. It increases information relevance for the investors because a fair value comprehensively represents assets and liabilities of an entity as of the balance sheet date. However, this triggers polemics over the value relevance of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS). This can be seen from stock price decline. This study aims to find out the effect of net income and other comprehensive income on stock price and to observe the effect of other comprehensive income moderated by audit quality. Furthermore this study also aims to find out the effect of  the subjectivity of OCI components. Using a sample of 79 companies, the writer analyzes 2014 financial statements derived from Indonesia Stock Exchange. Based on the result, the predetermined hypotheses are unable to prove. Net income is the only variable that affects stock return. Thus it can be concluded that net income has a value relevance for the investors in making economic decisions.

PSAK No. 1 of 2009 is enforced from 2011 onwards. The presentation of the income statement changes to a comprehensive income statement consisting of operating income, non-operating income, net income, other comprehensive income (OCI). The purpose of this study was to test the value relevance of OCI and other components of earnings that were tested based on the relationship between OCI and stock prices in the financial industry. The population in this study are all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which are included in the financial industry in 2016-2019. Based on the determination of the sample using the purposive sampling method, the research sample obtained was 335 firm years. The data is processed using OLS regression. This study indicates that OCI, non-operating income, and comprehensive income have value relevance which is indicated by the negative effect of OCI on stock prices and the positive effect of non-operating income and comprehensive income on stock prices. However, operating income and net income have no effect on stock prices.

Purpose This paper aims to test whether a change in the reporting location of income, and other comprehensive income (OCI) components, in a statement of comprehensive income (SoCI) under International Financial Reporting Standards affects their value-relevance and use by financial analysts. Design/methodology/approach The study tests the associations between CI, OCI, share returns and financial analyst forecast revisions. Findings Results show that comprehensive income is less value-relevant than net income, regardless of reporting location. Changing the reporting location of OCI components to the SoCI does not provide incremental improvement for financial analysts or stock prices. Finally, the paper finds that analysts use OCI components to revise forecasts. Originality/value The paper addresses the question of which OCI components should be reported, and the importance of reporting location. The paper extends the examination of OCI components to financial analysts as expert financial report users.

Poland is historically classified within the Continental European model of accounting. The aim of the paper is to find the answer to the question of whether the Anglo-Saxon measure of financial results, which is comprehensive income, introduced into Polish reporting practice by the implementation of IFRS, has better predictive power than net income. The consequences of reporting comprehensive income are still a research gap in Poland. This article fills the gap regarding the predictive value of comprehensive income on the Polish market, and at the same time, it constitutes a contribution to global research in this area. The content presented in this article was developed using studies of the domestic and foreign literature. The methodology adopted in our study refers to the commonly used methodology of quantitative research on value relevance and the predictive value of comprehensive income. Our results indicate that net income and comprehensive income have the same predictive value for future performance. The research showed that neither other comprehensive income as a single indicator nor separate items of other comprehensive income has significant predictive power for future performance. The results of our research may help legislative bodies to make decisions on whether to extend the financial statement by requiring the statement of comprehensive income. In addition, our study presents, in a very broad way, the results of the latest research on NI and CI.

Gains And Losses

In this study, we examine the annual report filings of S&P 100 companies that report other comprehensive income/(loss) over the three-year period of 2013-2015. We seek to gain a deeper understanding of the components of other comprehensive income and to determine if there is a systematic tendency for companies to include more gains or losses in other comprehensive income. Further, we seek to determine which components of other comprehensive income show more unexpected losses than gains and what impact other comprehensive income gains and losses may have on future earnings.We find a systematic tendency for firms to report more losses than gains in other comprehensive income, both in frequency and amount. This result is especially true for investment-related gains and losses, where managements have more discretion in the timing of gain and loss recognition.In terms of their impact on future earnings, we find that 43 companies in the S&P 100 reclassified some component of accumulated other comprehensive income gains and losses to net income over the period 2013- 2015, highlighting the observation that other comprehensive income gains and losses are, in effect, future elements of net income. These results remind analysts and investors that net income does not tell the entire story of a firm’s financial performance. Beyond users of financial statements, regulators, such as the FASB and SEC, may want to reconsider whether items of other comprehensive income should be included in net income.
