1) ratio analysis, involves valuing the income statement and the company's balance sheet data.
2) cash flow analysis, analysis that relies on the company's cash flow statement
Both of these tools allow analysts to examine a company's performance and financial condition,
remembering its strategies and objectives and being the goal of financial analysis.
This chapter also discusses how to apply these tools to a company to compare the performance of
the two companies on As Reported and As Adjusted (for the use of off-balance sheet operating
leases).
The starting point for ratio analysis is company ROE. The next step is to evaluate three
drivers of ROE, namely net profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage. Net profit
margins reflect the company's operations management, asset turnover reflects the management of
its investments, and financial leverage reflects its funding policy. Each of these fields can be
further examined by examining a number of ratios.
For example, analysis of general income statements allows a detailed examination of the
company's net margins. Likewise, the turnover of major working capital accounts such as
receivables, inventory and trade payables, and the rotation of the company's fixed assets, allows
for further examination of the utilization of company assets. Finally, short-term liquidity ratios,
debt policy ratios, and coverage ratios provide a means to examine a company's financial
leverage. A company's sustainable growth rate - the rate of growth without changing its
operating, investment and funding policies - is determined by its ROE and dividend policy. The
concept of sustainable growth provides a way to integrate various elements of ratio analysis and
to evaluate whether a company's growth strategy is sustainable or not. If the company's plan calls
for growth at a level above the current level, then one can analyze the ratio of which companies
are likely to change in the future.
Finally, a cash flow analysis shows how the company finances itself, and whether the
financing pattern is too risky. The insight gained from analyzing a company's financial ratios and
cash flow is very valuable in estimating the company's future prospects.
RATIO ANALYSIS
The value of a company can be determined by profitability and growth. Managers can use
four levers to achieve this:
- Cross-sectional comparison
the starting point for a systematic analysis of company performance is Return On Equity (ROE)
Net income
ROE
shareholders ’ equity
ROE is a comprehensive indicator because it gives an indication of how well managers employ
funds invested by shareholders.
Net Income Sales
ROA = X
Sales Assets
Sales−Cost of sales
Gross profit margin =
Sales
A company’s selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses are influenced by the
operating activities it has to undertake to implement its competitive strategy, there are two ratios
in providing useful signals here namely net operating profit margin (NOPAT margin) and
EBITDA margin:
NOPAT
NOPAT margin =
Sales
Tax Expenses
There are two measures one can use to evaluate a firm’s tax expense. One is the ratio of tax
expense to sales, and the other is the ratio of tax expense to earnings before taxes (also known as
the average tax rate)
A detailed analysis of asset turnover allows the analyst to evaluate the effectiveness of a firm’s
investment management. There are two primary areas of investment management: (1) working
capital management and (2) management of long-term assets, both of which are discussed in
further detail below.
is defined as the difference between a firm’s current assets and current liabilities.
However, this definition does not distinguish between operating components (such as accounts
receivable, inventory, and accounts payable) and financing components (such as cash,
marketable securities, and notes payable).
Operating working capital = (Current assets - cash and marketable securities) – (Current
liabilities - Short-term and current portion of long-term debt)
turnover ratios can also be expressed in number of days of activity that the operating working
capital (and its components) can support. These ratios are defined below:
Sales
Operating working capital turnover =
Operating working capital
Sales
Accounts receivable turnover =
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable
Days’ receivables =
Average sales per day
inventory
Days’ inventory =
Average cost of goods sold per day
Accounts payable
Days’ payables =
Average purchases ðor cost of goods soldÞ per day
Net long-term assets = (Total long-term assets - Non interest bearing long-term
liabilities)
Sales
Net long-term asset turnover =
Net long−term assets
Sales
PP&E turnover =
Net property , plant ,∧equipment
Analyzing Financial Leverage Financial leverage enables a firm to have an asset base larger than
its equity. The firm can augment its equity through borrowing and the creation of other liabilities
such as accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and deferred taxes. Financial leverage increases a
firm’s ROE as long as the cost of the liabilities is less than the return from investing these funds.
In this respect, it is important to distinguish between interest-bearing liabilities such as notes
payable, other forms of short-term and long-term debt that carry an explicit interest charge, and
other liabilities.

Debt-to-capital ratio =
The ease with which a firm can meet its interest payments is an indication of the degree of risk
associated with its debt policy. The interest coverage ratio provides a measure of this construct:
Cashdividends paid
Divided payout ratio =
Net income
The ratio analysis discussion focused on analyzing a firm’s income statement (net profit margin
analysis) or its balance sheet (asset turnover and financial leverage). The analyst can get further
insights into the firm’s operating, investing, and financing policies by examining its cash flows.
Cash flow analysis also provides an indication of the quality of the information in the firm’s
income statement and balance sheet. As before, we will illustrate the concepts discussed in this
section using TJX’s and Nordstrom’s cash flows.
