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.

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.

Purpose - The concept of recognizing all inclusive income, which is used by IFRS and Indonesian SAK, is the basis for presenting other comprehensive income in the income statement. This change in format became the idea of developing a financial performance measurement.Methodology - Testing the effect of attributable comprehensive income ROA and attributable ROA net income on future cash flows and net income, as a proxy for the ability to provide future returns, and applying them in measuring performance before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.Findings - ROA net income is better able to predict future investment returns. ROA comprehensive income has more relevance value, when only other items of comprehensive income that have the potential to be realized are included. In assessing performance, users are advised to keep using the ROA of the net income version, and when using the ROA of the comprehensive income version, it is advisable to include only OCI which will be reclassified. The financial performance of companies in many industrial sectors experienced a decline during the Covid 19 pandemic using two ROA measures.Novelty - Development of ROA formulation by including other comprehensive income and profit attribution, so far ROA is only based on net income.

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.

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.

This paper uses the Ohlson Model to analyze whether Net Income (NI), Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), and Comprehensive Income (CI) are value relevant for market value and the return of shares of publicy-traded Brazilian companies. To maximize the robustness of the results, we inserted the following control variables for each model: equity per Share (EqPS), Size (S), Industry (I), EBITDA per Share (EbPS), Revenue per Share (RePS), Liquidity (L), and Gross Domestic Product Growth (GDPG). The control variables S, RePS, and GDPG were significant for the three models related to the value of the company. The control variables EqPS, EbPS, RePS, and L, on the other hand, were only significant for the three models related to stock returns. Our main variables (NI, OCI, and CI) were found to be statistically significant in five of the six regression models after data analysis in a fixed effect panel using robust standard errors. However, only the variables NI and CI were considered to be relevant in the expected direction, meaning that they offered a positive contribution in explaining the value of the company.

The purpose of this study is to examine the equity pricing of other comprehensive income when earnings are disaggregated into several components. Our findings indicate that other comprehensive income can better explain variation in stock returns when net income is reported in a disaggregated form. Additionally, we find that disaggregating both net income and other comprehensive income can explain more of the variation in the stock returns than the two summary components of comprehensive income. Our results survive a series of robustness checks.

The IAS/IFRS compliant groups have been disclosing comprehensive income since 2009, when the IAS 1-revised became effective. This paper aims to investigate the value relevance of comprehensive income and its components in European banks and other financial institutions. The research has been developed by having a sample of 166 European listed groups whose data have been collected in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 (498 firm-year observations) consolidated financial statements. In contrast to previous findings, related to all the sectors, our research highlights a higher value relevance of comprehensive income in respect to net income. Moving to the single OCI components, our results suggest that gains and losses on remeasuring available-for-sale financial assets (AFSit) are value relevant in European banks and other financial institutions.
