II. Data Analysis
A. Liquidity ratios

1. Current ratio
a. Definition
This coefficient is used to measure the company's ability to pay short-
term debts with short-term assets, such as cash, receivables,
inventories, etc.

The higher the result, the greater the company's ability to repay the debt.
If the ratio is less than 1, the company is likely to be unable to pay its
debts, but that does not mean that the company will be bankrupt
because there are many ways to raise more capital.
Current Asset
Current ratio = Current liabilities

Chart1. Current ratio

b. Comment
Overall, the current ratio of all 3 companies is good, higher than 1. This
means all three companies are able to pay off their debts. In particular,
DHG had the highest rate throughout 3 years with 2.32, 3.14, 4.45, this
is a good ratio. Meanwhile, OPC had the lowest one with 1.24 in
2017and 2018, 1.69 in 2019, seems quite low. Specially, the current
ratio of TRA increased from 2017 to 2018 but after that it decreased from
2.75 to 2.59.

2. Acid-test ratio
a. Definition
A ratio indicates whether a company has enough short-term assets to
pay off its short-term debt without having to sell inventory. The quick
ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of the most liquid assets such as
cash, short-term investments, and accounts receivable by the total short-
term debt. Inventory is not included because it is difficult to transfer to
cash; prepaid expenses are not included in the same reason. The quick
ratio is much more rigorous than the current ratio because it excludes
inventory from the calculation.

b. Comment
In general, we can see that OPC had an acid-test ratio under 1, it will
not be able to pay all the short-term debts immediately.

DHG and TRA remained relatively stable, DHG still has the highest ratio
from 1.82 in 2017 to 3.42 in 2019, which shows that the company does
not need to worry about whether it can pay off its debt in the short term
or not. While the ratio of OPC decreased from 0.6 in 2017 to 0.56 in
2019.

B. Activity ratios

1. Account receivable turnover ratio


a. Definition
Account receivables turnover reflects the rate at which receivables are
converted into cash. This coefficient is an important measure to evaluate
the performance of enterprises, calculated by dividing net sales by the
average account receivables in the period.
Net sales
Account Receivable turnover ratio= Account receivable

Chart3. Account receivable turnover ratio

10
b. Comment
This may be important for you, because the customer owes the company
money, paying it early or late, and the money still belongs to the
company eventually. But it is quite important. In summary, the larger the
receivable turnover, the faster the rate of debt collection, the ability to
convert receivables to cash, which helps businesses improve cash flow.

Generally, the ratio of TRA increased markedly from 6.42 to 8.88 and
reached the peak at 9.20 in 2018 while OPC and DHG decreased
slightly. Although OPC had the highest ratio with 9.58 in 2017 but in
2018 and 2019 the TRA was the highest.

2. Inventory turnover
a. Definition

Inventory turnover shows the number of times a company has sold and
replaced inventory in a given period.

This helps businesses make better decisions about prices, production,


marketing and purchasing new inventory.

Low sales implies weak sales and possibly excess inventory, while a
high percentage implies strong sales or insufficient inventory.

b. Comment

We can see that inventory sales of traphaco and Hau Giang have
decreased over the years, whereas OPC's inventory has shown
fluctuations. But the percentage of inventory of Hau Giang is always the
highest among the 3 companies from 2017-2019. This shows that if the
company ranks a large customer, it may not be enough and cause loss
of reputation for the company.

3. Total assets turnover ratio


a. Definition

The asset turnover ratio measures the value of a company's sales or


revenues relative to the value of its assets. The asset turnover ratio can
be used as an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is using
its assets to generate revenue.

The higher the asset turnover ratio, the more efficient a company.
Conversely, if a company has a low asset turnover ratio, it indicates it is
not efficiently using its assets to generate sales.

 Comment

From 2017- 2018 Traphaco has a high total asset turnover, which shows
that this is a company that uses assets effectively. In contrast, OPC has
a low total asset turnover, which indicates that the company is not
effectively using its assets to generate sales.

4. Day’s sale uncollected
a. Definition

This is an index calculated by the number of days a company needs to


recover sales proceeds after a sale. If Day's Sale Uncollected is low, it
means the company only needs a few days to collect the liabilities. If this
ratio is high, it means that the company mainly sells to customers on
account, the debt period is longer.

b. Comment

All three companies have very different debt collection times. Including
Traphaco, the highest collection time is about 28 days. Hau Giang in
2017 had a high debt collection time of about 66 days but counted in
2019 to 48 days. For OPC, the collection time is also very high, but
gradually decreases over the years.

5. Sale inventory
a. Definition

This indicator tells investors about the amount of time it takes for the
company to fully liquidate its inventory. Normally, if the index is low, it
means that the company is performing well, but it should be noted that
this index is very different between industries.

b. Comment

In general, Traphaco only needs about 140 -151 days to sell out its
inventory, Hau Giang needs about 109-135 days - a good product and
Ha Tay needs a very long time to liquidate peak inventory in 2018. is 240
days in 2017-2019.

e.
Conclusions:
- Based on the charts, we can see that:
- The company with the highest debt to asset ratio is OPC, whereas
the lowest is DHG.
- The debt to asset ratio of DHG has the tendency to decrease over the
years, which positively displays the potential of the company.
- However, the debt to assets ratio of both Traphaco and OPC has
fluctuated over time.
+When comparing the ratio between Q4 2018 and Q4 2019 of the
companies, OPC has decreased more than Traphaco.
- All of the ratios are below 1, meaning that a considerable portion of
assets is funded by equity, therefore a lower chance of bankruptcy.

d. Conclusions
- Based on the given charts:
- In 2019:
+ Traphaco has the lowest TIE ratio.
+ Both DHG and OPC saw a slight increase in the TIE ratio.
+ DHG maintains the top of the pack when it comes to the TIE ratio.
- Traphaco experienced the most fluctuations:
+ Earnings before interest and taxes decreased by a fourth from 2017
to 2018.
+ Interest Expense skyrocketed for 2018 and 2019, increased by nine
times in two years.
+ TIE ratio however plummeted by more than 10 times from 2017 to
2018 because of the sudden increase of Interest Expense.
- DHG has a slight fluctuation to all 3 numbers over the years, but TIE
ratio increases slightly when comparing from 2017 to 2019
- OPC also has a slight fluctuation when it comes to earnings and
interest expense, but the TIE ratio increases gradually over the years.
→ Overall, based solely on the TIE ratio, we can conclude that OPC
has the highest chance to complete long-term debt, where Traphaco
is the lowest.

- Overall, all three companies had a working capital ratio larger than
1 over the years, which indicates that there won’t have any major
potential liquidity problems.
- OPC has the lowest working capital ratio over 3 years compared to
two other companies, but it has the tendency to increase, which
indicates that the company is improving.
- Traphaco’s working capital ratio fluctuates between 3 years and
slightly decreased from 2018 to 2019.
- DHG witnessed the blooming increase in the working capital ratio,
which doubled from 2017 to 2019.
→ In conclusion, solely based on the working capital ratio, DHG has the
highest potential in financial solvency compared to two remaining
companies.

D. Profitability ratios

1. Return on assets.

of profit a company earns in relation to its overall resources.

- Net income is derived from the income statement of the company and
is the profit taxes.

Chart 1: Return on Assets of three companies

d. Conclusion

Based on the chart above:

- In 2017, all three companies had the highest return on assets. This
shows that in 2017, all three companies made a lot of profit from the
company's current total assets.

Inside:

- DHG's return on assets is the highest and remains after 1 year but
decreases in 2019 but not significantly.

- Return on assets of Traphaco is the second in 3 companies, but the


rate of return on assets decreases sharply after the next 1 year and still
decreases in 2019.

- ranked last is the ratio of return on assets of the OPC company and
also decreased in 2018 and maintained that rate in 2019.

In short, all three companies have a three-year declining rate of return


on their assets, suggesting that the three companies' profit-making ratios
are declining over time.

37
2. Return on equity
a. Definition

- Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of financial performance


calculated by dividing net income by total equity.

- ROE is considered a measure of how effectively management is using


a company’s assets to create profits.

b. Formula

Chart 2: Return on Equity of three companies

40
d. Conclusion

Based on the chart above:

- In 2017, the ratio of return on equity of DHG is the highest, it means


that DHG can bring businesses a high profit with the amount of capital
that the owner has spent, but that rate has steadily decreased year by
year. This shows that DHG's capital use is ineffective.

- Traphaco also uses its capital inefficiently when the ratio of profit to
equity in 2017 is the second highest but declines sharply after the next 1
year and Traphaco's profit rate had lowest in 2018 and 2019.

- In contrast, OPC Company, although the profit earned based on equity


is not high, but that ratio maintains very stable. This shows that the OPC
company uses the equity effectively.

In short, the ability to use capital of two businesses, Traphaco and DHG,
is ineffective despite the very high profits. In contrast, OPC businesses
have low profit margins but use capital extremely effectively.

3. Gross margin ratio.


a. Definition

- The Gross Margin Ratio (Gross Profit Margin Ratio) is a profitability


ratio that compares the gross margin of a company to its revenue. It
shows how much profit a company makes after paying off its Cost Of
Goods Sold (COGS).

- The ratio indicates the percentage of each dollar of revenue that the
company retains as gross profit.

E. Market ratios

1. Earnings per share


a. Definition
- Earnings per share is the portion of a company's profit that is
allocated to each outstanding share of its common stock ->
demonstrating the ability to make a profit of the business.
- The higher EPS reflects the stronger the business capability of the
company, the higher the ability to pay dividends, and the stock price also
tends to rise. Therefore, the high EPS shows that the business is doing

45
well and the bonds will tend to be safer. (but considering the number of
shares outstanding)

47
d. Conclusion
- Theoretically, all three companies achieve EPS> 1,500 -> the
profits of all 3 companies are good.
- DHG's EPS ratio was the highest and increased over the years
(although it is a small increase compared to the ideal increase index) ->
DHG's profitability is best among 3 companies.
- In 2017, TRA's EPS was the highest among the three companies
-> stockholders will be the most profitable. However, after that, the sharp
decline in net income made a decrease in EPS.
- In 2018 and 2019, EPS of TRA and OPC was nearly equal.
However, the number of shares outstanding of TRA was higher than that
of OPC -> OPC used capital more efficiently than TRA.

2. Book value per share


a. Definition
- Reflects the amount of stockholders’ equity applicable to common
shares on a per-share basis. BVPS indicates the value of a company's
real assets if it immediately exits the market. BVPS is an accurate
measure of the company's value, which does not change too quickly
and is relatively stable. It is appropriate data to analyze for investors.
That is, buying stocks at the right value to receive annual dividends
rather than for speculators.

d. Conclusion
- TRA had the highest book value per share, but no growth
- The book value per share of DHG and OPC increased steadily over
the years -> the increased in real value of companies

3. Price to earnings ratio


a. Definition
- The price-to-earnings ratio is the ratio of a company's share price to
the company's earnings per share. It indicates the dollar amount an
investor can expect to invest in a company in order to receive one
dollar of that company's earnings. The ratio is used for valuing
companies and to find out whether they are overvalued or
undervalued.

P/E 21.87 20.90 18.50

d. Conclusion
- In general, DHG's EPS is much higher than that of OPC and TRA,
this has affected investors' psychology, investors are willing to buy
DHG's shares even though P / E of BHG is higher.
- P / E of DHG tends to fluctuate year by year. In 2018, DHG's P / E
ratio dropped sharply to 17.79 compared to 2017, but in 2019, this
ratio increased slightly again in 2019.
- Although TRA's EPS has been steadily declining over the years, its
P / E ratio has decreased, suggesting that the company's valuation is
lower due to the company's lower business performance than before.
- In 2018, DHG and OPS's EPS increased, but P / E decreased ->
companies are undervalued, the right time to buy stocks.
- P / E ratio of DHG and TRA is high and higher than OPC, showing
that investors' expectation about the future growth in share earnings
of DHG and TRA is higher than that of OPC

51
4. Price to book ratio
a. Definition
- The price-to-book ratio, or P/B ratio, is a financial ratio used to
compare a company's current market price to its book value.
- Similar to P / E, high P / B shows investors' expectations about the
future development of the business. (However, we need to pay
attention to the liabilities of the business, a company with large debt
will make BVPS low leading to high P / B).

BVPS 26.99 26.71 26.97
P/B 4.33 2.62 2.24

52
d. Conclusion
- In general, both the P / B and the market value per share of OPC was
the lowest -> Small business size, investors evaluate the
development potential of OPC lower than TRA and DHG
- DHG and TRA had high P / B (market value> book value) ->
companies perform quite well
- However, all 3 companies decreased P / B ratios over the years,
especially in 2018 compared to 2017 -> in general, P / B valuations
are down in the pharmaceutical industry.
