Explain the Altman Z Score

Altman Z Score is an empirical credit models. These do not try to estimate credit spreads or default probability but generate a credit score.

Altman Z Score uses - Liquidity, profitability, leverage, solvency and activity

Z = 1.2*X1 + 1.4* X2 ! 3.3*X3 + 0.6*X4 + 1*X5

X1 = working capital / total assets ratio

X2 = retained earnings / total assets ratio

X3 = EBIT / total assets ratio

X4 = Market value of equity / book value of total liabilities ratio

X5 = sales / total assets

How do you interprete the Altman Z Score?

If Z < 1.81 Default (or distressed)

1.81 <=Z <= 2.99 Gray Zone

Z > 2.99 Nondefault or safe

1. The exposure at default for a loan is $250 million, the recovery rate is estimated to be 31.4%, and the estimated probability of loss is 1.15%. The expected loss is:

LGD = EAD * (1-RR) = 250 * (1-0.314) = 171.50

E(Loss) = LGD * PD = 171.50 * 0.0115 = 1.972

2. An analyst is considering a bond in a leverage company and wants to model credit risk as a random exogenous variable. The analyst should use:

Reduced form model

structural model

positive model

empirical model

Reduced form models treat default risk as a random external variable

structural model view credit risk from the perspective of equity holders

positive models explore how assets should behave and

empirical models do not directly evaluate default risk
