No Ratio
Current Ratio
Reason: This ratio tells us if the firm's current assets are sufficient to meet its
short term liabilites.
1 Interpretation: Starting FY'18, the firm had a healthy current ratio of ~1.6
making it easy for the firm to meet its current liabilites. However, this has
declined over the next two years and come down to ~1 making it slighlty
concerning for shareholders.
Reason: Similar to current ratio, this ratio tells us the firm's ability to meet its
current liabilities by liquidating its current assets. However, this excludes
inventory from total current assets since inventory is something which might not
2 get sold easily in the event of liquidation and it is also prone to obsolesence
Interpretation: This ratio albiet <1 (which is not a very healthy sign), has showed
an upward trend in the last 3 years, showing that the firm has improved its
ability to meet its short term obligations without selling off its inventory
Reason: This ratio tells us how much is the debt (total liabilities) of the firm as a
proprtion of its equity, i.e. how leveraged is the firm. A ratio lower than 1 is
ideally healthy since it implies that the company has financed its assets more by
its own money as opposed to money that is owed to external parties. However,
firms which have a high fixed asset requirement (e.g. energy firms) are typically
3 highly leveraged.
Interpretation: The ratio for JSW has fallen over the last 3 years thereby
showing an improvement in its balance and showing that the company has
been paying off its obligations better.
Reason: Similar to Debt to Equity ratio, this tells us how much is the firm
leveraged. This makes it possible for us to asses the risk in investing in the
company since higher the ratio, more likely is the chance of shareholders not
4 getting their money back
Interpretation: The ratio for JSW has fallen over the last 3 years thereby
showing an improvement in its balance and showing that the company has
been paying off its obligations better.
Reason: The ratio tells us about the firm's ability to meet its interest expenses. It
is especially important to analyse this ratio in highly leveraged firms such as
JSW. The ratio shows how many times can the firm meet its interest expenses
5 using its profits
Interpretation: JSW has showed a healthy upward trend in this ratio making it
clear that the firm has been managing its debt really well and is becoming less
riskier for shareholders.
Reason: The ratio tells us about the firm's ability to meet its interest expenses. It
is especially important to analyse this ratio in highly leveraged firms such as
JSW. The ratio shows how many times can the firm meet its interest expenses
5 using its profits
Interpretation: JSW has showed a healthy upward trend in this ratio making it
clear that the firm has been managing its debt really well and is becoming less
riskier for shareholders.
Reason: This ratio has been chosen to assess the percentage of revenues the
firm is being able to convert into net profits. Profits are ultimately what the
shareholders desire, hence, it is important for a firm to consistently deliver a
6 higher margin on its revenues
Interpretation: JSW has increased its profit margin from 1% in 2018 to 13% in
2020, which is commendable and shows that the firm is focusing a lot on
reducing its expenses and delivering profits.
Reason: The ratio has been chosen to asses the operating efficiency of JSW.
This ratio tells us how efficient the firm is in manging its operating costs and
shows how much operating profit it is earning for every rupee of revenue.
7
Interpretation: JSW has increased its operating profit margin from 20% in 2018
to 24% in 2020, which is commendable and shows that the firm is focusing a lot
on reducing its operational expenses and delivering profits.
Return on Equity
Reason: The ratio tells us how much return is being generated by the equity
capital employed in the firm. It can be used as an indicator of the company's
share performance.
8
Interpretation: While we will not be able to comment on the absolute percentage
ROE in isolation, the 3 year trend for JSW shows a healthy upward trend in
ROE implying that JSW has been generating consistently better returns for its
shareholders.
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio (only Plant, Property & Equipment and Capital WIP
haas been chosen in the formula since those are the only fixed assets directly
being used to generate sales)
Reason: This ratio tells us how efficiently the fixed assets of the firm are being
managed to generate revenue.
9
Interpretation: Although JSW has shown an upward trend in this ratio from 2018
to 2020, the trend has not been consistent since the ratio has falled from 2019
to 2020. Hence, a longer time period needs to be evaluated to make further
comments.
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Reason: This ratio has been chosen to analyze the number of times the firm
has sold its inventory over the year. This is seen as an indicator of how fast is
the inventory generating sales for the firm.
10
Interpretation: Over the previous 3 years, this ratio has increased for JSW
impying that its ability to generate sales using its inventory is increasing.
However, we see a decline from 2019 (10.98) to 2020 (8.22) indicating that
JSW's ability to generate sales might be reducing.
Reason: This metric tells us how many days, on an average, it takes for the firm
to sell its inventory.
11 Interpretation: Over the previous 3 years, this metric has fallen marinally for
JSW indicating that it is being able to sell its inventory faster. However, there is
a sharp increase from 2019 (33.25 days) to 2020 (44.40 days) indicating that
JSW is taking much longer to sell its inventory.
Reason: This ratio helps us asses how efficiently is the firm being able to collect
its debtor balances.
12 Interpretation: Overall, the ratio has declined from 2018 to 2020 (with a healthy
increase in 2019), impying that JSW might be taking longer to collect its
receivables thereby putting a strain on its working capital. Even revenue has
dropped from 2019 to 2020, showing that the drop in receivables turnover is not
owed to more favourable credit terms
Reason: This is used to see how many days is the firm taking to collect its
receivable balances
13
Interpretation: JSW saw a healthy drop in the time taken to collect its debtor
balances from 2018 to 2019. However, that figure has again increased to ~75
days in 2020 indicating that firm is tying up a lot of its capital in receivables
without getting a corresponding benefit in its revenue.
Reason: This ratio has been chosen to analyze how many times in the year is
JSW paying off its creditors. It helps us deicde the efficiency in paying off
creditors.
14
Interpretation: The metric for JSW has been increasing which means that JSW
is paying off its creditors at an increasing frequency over the last three years.
This could mean that either JSW has more cash available to pay its creditors or
it is not being able to negotiate favourable terms with its creditors
Days of payables
Reason: This metric helps us analyse how many days, on an average, did the
firm take to pay off its creditors over the year. It will help us decide if the
company is releasing its cash in hand too soon or not.
15
Interpretation: This ratio has declined from 183 days in 2018 to 140 days in
2020 indicating that JSW is paying off its creditors faster and as a result not
investing its cash in hand back into the business and rather using it to pay its
creditors.
Reason: This metric tells us about the working capital journey of the firm. It has
been chosen to analyse how long JSW takes to convert its cash into inventory
and then to sales and eventually to cash again.
16
Interpretation: The numbers show an increasing trend in JSW's Cash
Conversion Cycle which means that the firm's working capital is deteriorating.
However, it is still -20 in 2020 which means that firm is doing well in its CCC on
an absolute basis.
