Previous studies cross-sectionally pooled heterogeneous firms to examine the information content of earnings and cash flow measures. This study extends prior research; and is the first to examine the corporate life-cycle effects on the informativeness of earnings (NI), operating cash flows (CFO), financing cash flows (CFF), and investing cash flows (CFI). The life-cycle concept is an appealing economic context which allows for a relatively more homogenous study of these information content relationships. It is a concept used frequently in academic research and the financial press, because it captures a set of financial characteristics and strategies for firms in a particular life-cycle stage. This study examines both the informativeness of earnings and cash flow measures in each of four life-cycle stages: Start- up, Growth, Mature, and Decline. Hypotheses are developed predicting that earnings and operating cash flows contain incremental information content in life-cycle stages when a firm's assets in place are a major component of firm value. Financing cash flows and investing cash flows are expected to be incrementally informative during stages characterized by growth or uncertainty. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that neither NI, nor CFO are incrementally informative in the start-up stage, characterized by few assets in place. When there are relatively more assets in place in the growth, mature, and decline stages; however, the results support the hypothesis that NI and CFO contain incremental information. Hypotheses regarding CFF and CFI are generally supported. Results support the incremental informativeness of CFF in the growth, mature, and decline stages; but not in the start-up stage. CFI is informative in all life-cycle stages. These results provide support for the usefulness of the cash flow statement required by FAS 95.

This study evaluates the relation between security returns and funds-based earnings components. We document that proxies for market expectations of the components that are based on measures of historical serial- and cross-dependencies are substantially more accurate than random-walk proxies. Moreover, we detect significantly higher valuations of the operating cash flow component of earnings, relative to current accruals when market expectations are represented using the dependency-based predictions. Such differential valuation is not detectable for random-walk representations. Contrary to results in Ali (1994), we find incremental information in unexpected cash flows over the whole spectrum (moderate and extreme) of unexpected cash flow realizations.

While some of the modern performance measures used in managerial accounting rely on cash flow based figures others try to take advantage of the information content of accounting figures. However, whether the additional information content in the accrual components of earnings improves the internal performance measurement is an open empirical question. To shed light on this question, I examine the correlation between operating cash flows and earnings with firm's total shareholder returns. Using fixed firm effects regression methods for a large sample of German listed firms covering some 5,000 firm years, the analysis shows that generally operating cash flow and earnings are both positively correlated with total shareholder return. However, with increasing information asymmetry earnings become less correlated with the firm's stock market performance and operating cash flows dominate earnings in explaining total shareholder return (and vice versa). These results suggest that, the information content of accounting figures is only relevant in settings characterized by low information asymmetries and, thus, there is no one-size-fits-all performance measure for managerial accounting purposes. -- Accounting figures ; performance measures ; total shareholder return ; managerial accounting
