Definitions:
Capital Structure –
Capital Structure is one of the most important components in evaluating the strength of a
company’s balance sheet which further affects company’s investment quality. Capital structure is the
mix of long-term capital i.e. sum of debt and equity.
Debt used to calculate the capital structure consists of debt liabilities. It is the long-term debt on the
balance sheet of the company. A low debt-equity ratio is good for the company.
Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity
If the debt-to-equity ratio increases, it implies increasing interest expenses which then impact the
credit rating.
Debt to Assets Ratio is the percentage of a company’s assets that are a result of debt (short-term
and long-term).
Operating Performance:
Fixed Asset Turnover is the ratio that compares revenue to net fixed assets.
A high inventory turnover ratio is the indicator of the company’s ability to rotate its inventory in a
cycle of distribution
Inventory Turnover Ratio = COGS / Average inventory at start and end of the year
Asset Turnover Ratio = Sales / Net fixed assets at the end of the year
Financial performance:
Liquidity – Liquidity is the ability to pay off current debt obligations without using external capital.
Liquidity Crisis can arise if the short-term obligations are difficult to be repaid by the company.
Current Ratio– It measures the ability to pay current liabilities within its current assets like cash and
receivables.
Quick Ratio = It measures the company’s ability to pay its short-term obligations with the most liquid
asset.
Solvency – Solvency refers to the ability to meet its long-term financial commitments. A solvent
company is one that owns more than it owes.
The higher the Interest Coverage Ratio, the higher is the company’s ability to pay its interest.
Non-Current 26.05 Cr
Liabilities:
Borrowings
Current Liabilities: 498.23 Cr
Borrowings
Debt 524.28 Cr
Total Equity 5663.06 Cr
Total Capital 6187.34 Cr
Debt / Equity Ratio = 524.28/5663.06 = 0.0925: Dabur has very low debt-equity ratio. This implies
that it is not fully utilizing the option of debt that can finance its operations. The FMCG industry does
not have such a high volatility that debt must be ignored. According to me, Dabur can venture into
financing its operations through loans or borrowings.
