Introduction
Bank plays a very important role in the economic life of the nation. Nowadays modern banks are
very constructive for the utilization of the resources of the country. The banks are mobilizing the
savings of the people for the investment purposes. In todays world, a bank performs several
general banking activities in line with its different internal departments. To ensure economic
stability, and to develop the rural and urban areas with necessary financial assistance,
government nationalized commercial banking. Previously only government banks were here to
serve the financial needs of consumers, but later private banks started dominating the market
with lots of branches and many services all over the country. They have joined the banking
industry to serve the common and corporate sector and to enhance their profitability in the
economy.
The Bangladesh banking sector relative to the size of its economy is comparatively larger than
many economies of similar level of development and per capita income. The total size of the
sector at 1.51% of GDP dominates the financial system, which is proportionately large for a
country with a per capita income of only about US$848 in 2012. Currently there are 4
Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs) 32 private bank and 10 foreign banks operating in

Bangladesh.

Limitations
However, I am lucky to get the chance to prepare this report but unfortunately I have to face
some difficulties. I have tried to overcome the difficulties and gave my best effort. While
preparing this report, some difficulties that I have faced are-

Time Shortages
This extensive type of report needs too much time to prepare it. However, I had to prepare this
report within a very short span of time. The bank officials are also very busy, so it was hard to
bring their concentration on the matter.

Inconsistent Terminologies
Sometimes it was very difficult to get the correct terminologies because there are many
inconsistent terminologies that bank are following now a day. There are many terminologies,
which are not consistent with the Generally Acceptable Accounting Principle (GAAP). So, I
need to closely look at those to find out the actual data from the financial statements.

Qualitative factors are ignored

Ratio analysis, common size statements are some of the techniques of quantitative analysis and
thus which may be important in decision making but ignores qualitative factors.

Different Financial Statements

Since the financial statements of a bank are completely different from the other service or
manufacturing company, it was difficult to understand some terms. As a result, it takes more

time to analyze the financial performance.

Literature Review
Financial statement plays a vital role among all of other aspects. Analysis of these statements is
essential to know a company much better. One foremost purpose of the financial statement
analysis is to use the past performance of a company to predict how the company will perform in
future. Another purpose would be to evaluate performance of a company with a view to identify
the problem areas. These statements are recognized & authorized by GAAP (Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles).
There are 4 main statements including income statement, Balance sheet, Statement of owners
equity and Statement of cash flow, which is mandatory to disclose to the external users like
shareholder, investors and creditors at the end of every fiscal year.
To figure out whether a company is good or bad, it is necessary to analyze the financial
statements. There are lots of tools and techniques available that would help to analyze this
financial statement. It involves the relationship of both financial statement numbers and the
trends in those numbers over time. It can identify the problem areas by evaluating financial
statements which effects the decision making process.
To analyze the performance of MTB and Prime Bank, there are several financial performance
analyze technique has been used such as Ratio Analysis, Horizontal and Vertical statements,
Risk & Return analysis etc.

Ratio
Ratio Analysis is the starting point in developing the information desired by the analyst. Ratio
analysis provides only a single snapshot, the analysis being for one given point or period in time.
In the ratio analysis it is possible to define the company ratio with a standard one. For this paper

I have gone through Time Series Analysis and Cross-sectional Analysis.

Liquidity Position Indicator Ratios

Many financial-service institutions estimate their liquidity needs based upon experience and
industry average. This often means using certain liquidity indicators. For example, for depository
institutions the following liquidity indicator ratios are often useful:
Cash Position Indicator
The ratio indicates a banks ability to handle immediate cash needs. A greater proportion of cash
implies the institution is in a stronger position to handle immediate cash needs. The higher is the
ratio the better the liquidity position of the bank. It is calculated as follows-

Liquid Securities Indicator

This ratio compares the most marketable securities an institution can hold with the overall size of
its asset portfolio; the greater proportion of government securities, the more liquid the depository
institutions position tends to be. It is calculated as follows =

Capacity Ratio
This is a negative liquidity indicator for the bank because the loans and leases are often the most
illiquid of assets. When this ratio goes up, the liquidity position of the financial institutions goes
down. It is calculated as follows-

suggests greater deposit stability and a lesser need for liquidity. A high ratio indicates the greater
requirement for liquidity. It is calculated as follows-

Page

This ratio measures how stable a funding base each institution possesses. A decline in this ratio

11

Deposit Composition Ratio

Leverage Ratios
Debt Ratio
This ratio measures the percentage of total assets that are financed through debt. The higher the
debt the more an institution is exposed to risk. This ratio is very high for financial institution. It
is calculated as follows =

Equity multiplier
This is a measure of leverage. The higher the ratio is, the more the company is relying on debt to
finance its asset base. A higher equity multiplier indicates higher financial leverage, which
means the company is relying more on debt to finance its assets. It is calculated as follows =

Efficiency Ratios
Operating Efficiency Ratio
The efficiency ratio gives us a measure of how effectively a bank is operating. It is the cost
required to generate each dollar of revenue. An increase means the company is losing a larger
percentage of its income to expenses. If it is getting lower, it is good for the bank and its
shareholders. This measures non-interest expenses as a proportion of operating revenue. Costs
include salaries, technology, buildings, supplies, and administrative expenses. Revenue includes
net interest income (interest revenue less interest expenses) plus fees. It is calculated as follows-

12

Page

Employee productivity Ratio

The ratio measures the level of income that each employee generates. It helps to determine the
efficiency of a bank in terms of employees. A rise in the employee productivity ratio suggests
management and staffs are generating more operating revenue and/or reducing operating expense
per employee, helping to squeeze out more product with a given employee base. It is calculated
as follows =

Profitability Ratios
Return on Assets (ROA)
It is primarily an indicator of managerial efficiency; it indicates how capable management has
been in converting assets into net earnings. The higher the percentage is better, because that
means the company is doing a good job using its assets to generate net earnings. It is calculated
as follows =

Return on Equity (ROE)

It is a measure of the rate of return flowing to shareholders. It approximates the net benefit that
the shareholders have received from investing their capital in the financial firm (i.e., placing their
funds at risk in the hope of earning a suitable profit. This is the ratio potential investors look at
when deciding whether or not to invest in the company. Net income comes from the income
statement and stockholders equity comes from the balance sheet. In general, the higher the
percentage is the better. It is calculated as follows-

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin measures how large a spread between interest revenues and interest costs
management has been able to achieve by close control over earning assets and pursuit of the
cheapest sources of funding. It is expressed as a percentage of what the financial institutions are
earning minus the interest that it pays on borrowed funds to its investors. It examines
how successful a firm's investment decisions are compared to its debt situations. A negative
value denotes that the firm did not make an optimal decision, because interest expenses were
greater than the amount of returns generated by investments. It is calculated as follows =

Net Non Interest Margin

It measures the amount of noninterest revenues stemming from service fees the financial firm has
been able to collect relative to the amount of noninterest costs incurred (including salaries and
wages, repair and maintenance of facilities, and loan loss expenses). Typically net noninterest
margin is negative. Noninterest costs generally outstrip fee income; through fee income has been
rising rapidly in recent years as a percentage of all revenues. It is calculated as follows =

Net Bank Operating Margin

A measure of how profitably the firm is operating. The ratio tells how well a company converts
revenue from core operations into actual profit - how many cents of profit it gets from every
dollar of sales. The operating margin shows how well the company controls costs. It is calculated
as follows =

Net Profit Margin

It tells investors the percentage of money a company actually earns per dollar of sales. This

profit margin is a good way of comparing companies in the same industry. It is calculated as
follows =

Asset Utilization Ratio

It indicates that how efficiently the firm is utilizing the asset to generate revenue or return. It
concern on portfolio management policies, especially the mix and yields on the banks assets. By
carefully allocating assets to the highest yielding loans and investments while avoiding excessive
risk, management can raise the average yields on assets. It is calculated as follows-

Stock Market Ratios

Earnings per Share (EPS)
Earnings per Share are the most frequently used of all the ratios and are generally felt to give the
best view of performance. It indicates how much of a companys profit can be attributed to each
ordinary share in the company.

Market-Book Value Ratio

It measures how much a company is worth at present, in comparison with the amount of capital
invested by current and past shareholders into it. This ratio is used by some investors or analysts
as an indicator of over- or undervaluation. If the balance sheet assets per share are much larger
than the share price, this is taken to be a buy signal. The equation is
/ =

Price Earnings Ratio (P/E)

It is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual profit earned by the firm per
share. A high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the future
compared to companies with a lower P/E. It gives us an indication of the confidence that
investors have in the future prosperity of the business. The equation is

Common Size Statements

Vertical Balance sheet
In the vertical balance sheet all the figures of the balance sheet of a year are divided by that
years total asset and expressed those as a percentage (%).

Vertical Income statement

In vertical income statement all the figures of the income statement of a year are divided by that
years total operating revenue and expressed in percentage

Horizontal Balance sheet

In horizontal balance sheet each base year items amount is divided by itself and is expressed in
percentage form, so all the base year items are 100%. Then next years amounts are divided by
the base years amount and expressed as a percentage of the base year. Here, I have taken 2009
as the base year. In this way all the amounts of 2010 and 2011 have been calculated.

Horizontal Income statement

deposit. As a result their liquidity requirement has decreased in 2011.
In the last three years, we can see that MTB had higher deposit composition ratio than Prime
Bank. That means their liquidity requirment is higher than Prime Bank.

In 2011, Mutual Trust Bank has financed 93.68% of their assets by debt. It means for every 100
taka of total assets, 93.68 taka is financed by debt. This ratio is increased in the year 2011 from
2010. Though it dropped slightly in 2010.
Debt ratio of Prime Bank Ltd. was lower than that of Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. for the last three
years. Like MTB, Debt Ratio of Prime Bank has increased in 2011. It is clearly seen in the graph
that MTBs dependency on debt financing is slightly higher than Prime Bank. So risk exposure
for MTB is slightly higher than Prime Bank. If economy goes well than MTB will earn more
profit than Prime Bank but if economy goes through recession MTB will incur more loss than
Prime Bank. So Prime Bank with lower debt ratio is in a safer position.

spend 21.06% of their operating revenue for operating expense. This ratio had increased at a
higher percentage in the year 2010 from 2009. Though it has dropped in 2011 but the rate is very
low. This shows that overall operating efficiency is not good in 2011 compare to 2009.
The competitor of MTB, Prime Bank has achieved a wonderful position in terms of operating
efficiency in 2011. Their operating ratio was high compare to MTB in 2009. But they have
managed to control their operating expenses in 2011. This is the best position among the three
years.

words the operating expense per employee has gone up.
Prime Bank, one of the competitors of MTB has done a good job in terms of employee
productivity ratio. It is increasing in year by year. This ratio has increased at a higher rate in

net income. This ratio is decreasing in every year. It has decreased at a higher rate in 2011. This
shows that MTB earnings is decreasing compare to investment in assets.
Like MTB, return on assets of Prime Bank is decreasing in every year. In spite of, they have
more than double return on assets in 2011 compared to MTBs return on assets. So, Prime Bank
has used their assets more efficiently to generate net income.
So the proportionate changes in net income were lower than proportionate changes in total assets

Common size Statements Analysis

Vertical Balance Sheet
Mutual Trust Bank is decreasing their balance with other banks and financial institutions while
cash in hand and reserve in Bangladesh Bank is quite stable over the three years. MTB has
invested huge amount of money in government securities in 2011. On the other hand loan
demand has decreased in this year. Prime Banks loan demand also decreasing. Their investment
in government securities also increased in 2011.
MTB has borrowed highest amount of money from other banks and financial institutions in
2011. On the other hand, Prime Bank has borrowed less amount money. Both banks has
collected same percentage of deposits over the three years. The total shareholders equity are
higher for Prime bank. So MTB is more leveraged bank than Prime bank.

Horizontal Balance Sheet

The cash asset of MTB has increased more in 2011 than 2010 where Prime bank cash assets have
not increased relative to that percentage. MTB is decreasing deposit money in other banks and
financial institutions while Prime bank is increasing their deposit at a higher rate, completely
different strategy. MTB has increased more percentage of their total assets in government
securities than that of Prime Bank. Over the time period, demand for loan of Prime Bank has
increased more than MTB. In 2011, Prime Bank has borrowed huge amount of money from other
banks than MTB. Both total liability and shareholder equity has increased less over the this time
period than that of Prime Bank.

Vertical Income Statement

In 2011, net interest income of both banks has decreased due to high interest paid to customer
deposit compare to previous year. As well as, the no interest income also decreased. As a result
total operating income also decreased. Prime Bank has controlled their costs more efficiently that

less than that of MTB.

MTB in 2011. As a result, net profit after tax in terms of total operating revenue has decreased

Horizontal Income Statement

Where Mutual Trust Banks net interest income has decreased in 2011, net interest income of
Prime Bank has increased at a higher rate compare to 2010. The total operating income of MTB
has decreased less compare to 2010 due to increase in non-interest income. Since n-interest
income of Prime Bank also increased, their total operating income also increased more. The total
operating expense of MTB has increase almost 91% from the base year where it has increased
only 44% in the case of Prime Bank. The is the main reason due to downfall of net profit after
tax of MTB and boost in the case of Prime Bank.

Recommendation
From ratio and common size statement analysis it is clearly visible that financial performance of
Mutual Trust Bank is very poor compare to Prime Bank Limited over the last three years. So
they can overcome this hard situation by

Decrease operating expense efficiently.

Give cash or stock dividend to shareholders.

MTB should engage more CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). It will appreciate and
attract new investors.

Use customer deposits more efficiently to earn net interest income (by lending that
money to good borrower).

Use assets more efficiently to generate net income.

Conclusion
Finally after analyzing all the ratios and common size statement, it can be concluded that the
performance of Mutual Trust Bank was very bad in comparison with Prime Bank. The CAMELS
rating of Bangladesh Bank also tells that the performance of MTB is very poor in the previous
year. MTB was B-class bank in 2007 where Prime bank was in A-class bank on that period. Now
both are in B-class bank but the performance of MTB is not that much satisfactory compare to
Prime Bank. As an investor of common share may like to invest in MTB because of higher return

compare to Prime Bank.
