Introduction

With the passing of time, shoes have become an integral part of daily lives. Shoes have passed
on from being an item of luxury to an item of necessity. In Bangladesh when we think about
shoes, the first name comes into our mind is ‘Bata’. Bata is the market leader in footwear
industry of Bangladesh. To measure its progress toward reaching company goals, financial
analysis is important. Because, financial analysis involves examining historical data to gain
information about the financial health of a company. So, a clear perception regarding overall
business finance function can be achieved through such analysis. This study attempts to
undertake some in depth financial analysis of Bata Bangladesh Ltd. and infer conclusive
statements.

its short-term obligations that are due within a year. The ratio considers the weight of total current
26 assets
 versus total current liabilities.

Comment
Bata Company's current ratio increased by approximately 0.33 times from 2018 to 2019. Specifically,
the current ratio increased from 2.01 in 2018 to 2.34 in 2019.
This increase in current ratio is generally a positive sign for the company as it indicates that the
company has improved its ability to meet its short-term financial obligations. With a current ratio of
2.34, Bata Company is in a better position to pay its current liabilities using its current assets. However,
it's important to note that the current ratio alone does not provide a complete picture of a company's
financial health. Other financial ratios and metrics, such as debt-to-equity ratio, operating cash flow,
and profitability ratios, should also be considered to fully assess the company's financial performance.

2020 2019 Change in Current ratio from


2019 to 2020:
Current ratio = Current ratio =
Decrease 0.32 times. 27
= times = times
Comment
The current ratio is a measure of a company's ability to pay its short-term obligations using its current
assets. A higher current ratio is generally considered better as it indicates that a company is more capable
of meeting its short-term financial obligations. In the case of Bata company, the current ratio decreased
from 2.34 in 2019 to 2.02 in 2020. This decrease of 0.32 times indicates that the company's ability to meet
its short-term financial obligations decreased during that period. A declining current ratio could be a cause
for concern, as it may indicate that the company's liquidity position is weakening. However, it is important
to note that the current ratio is just one financial ratio, and it should be analyzed in conjunction with other
financial metrics to gain a complete understanding of the company's financial health. Therefore, further
analysis is required to determine whether the decrease in Bata's current ratio is a sign of financial distress
or if it is a normal fluctuation due to the nature of the company's business or economic conditions.

assets. A higher current ratio is generally considered better as it indicates that a company is more capable
of meeting its short-term financial obligations. In the case of Bata company, the current ratio decreased
from 2.02 in 2020 to 1.90 in 2020. This decrease of 0.12 times indicates that the company's ability to meet
its short-term financial obligations decreased during that period. A declining current ratio could be a cause
for concern, as it may indicate that the company's liquidity position is weakening. However, it is important
to note that the current ratio is just one financial ratio, and it should be analyzed in conjunction with other
financial metrics to gain a complete understanding of the company's financial health. Therefore, further
analysis is required to determine whether the decrease in Bata's current ratio is a sign of financial distress
or if it is a normal fluctuation due to the nature of the company's business or economic conditions

The current ratio is a financial ratio that measures a company's ability to pay its short-term
liabilities using its current assets. A current ratio of 2.0 or higher is generally considered to be a
good indicator that a company has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities. Based on
the information provided, Bata companies had a current ratio of 2.01 in both 2017 and 2018,
which is a good sign that the company had enough current assets to cover its current liabilities
during those years. In 2019, the current ratio improved to 2.34, indicating that the company had
even more current assets relative to its current liabilities. However, in 2020 and 2021, the current
ratio declined to 2.02 and 1.90, respectively. While a current ratio of 2.0 is still considered to be
relatively healthy, the downward trend over the past two years may suggest that the company's
ability to pay its short-term liabilities using its current assets has weakened. Overall, the trend in
Bata companies' current ratio suggests that while the company had a strong ability to cover its
short-term liabilities in the past, there may be some cause for concern regarding its current
financial health. Further analysis of the company's financial statements and other factors would
be needed to fully assess its financial health.

quick assets over current liabilities. For 2018, Acid test ratio is 1.00. It means the company has
1.00 times quick assets over current liabilities.
As acid test ratio is less than 1 for both years, the company is not able to fully pay off its current
liabilities with quick assets in the short run. From the upper table we can say that, in 2018 the
company’s short-term repayment capacity has increased by 0.05 from 2017, which indicates the
weakness of the company. It is not a good sign for the company.

liabilities with quick assets in the short run. Which is a negative side for the company. From the
analysis of these two years, we see the company’s ability to pay short term debt in 2019 has
increased a little, then 2018.that is 0.08

assets are highly dependent on inventory.

there has been some variation in the ratio. In 2017, the ratio was 1.664, which means that the
company sold its inventory 1.664 times during the year. This was followed by a decrease in the
inventory turnover ratio in 2018, where the ratio was 1.519. This decrease could indicate that
the company sold its inventory less frequently, which could be due to various reasons, such as
overproduction, poor inventory management, or declining demand. The inventory turnover
ratio increased slightly in 2019 to 1.527, but it was still lower than the ratio in 2017. In 2020,
the ratio decreased further to 1.432, which could indicate that the company experienced lower
demand for its products or faced challenges in managing its inventory effectively due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2021, the inventory turnover ratio increased significantly to
1.960,

which could indicate that the company has been able to improve its inventory management
processes, reduce carrying costs, or experience increased demand for its products.

Overall, the inventory turnover ratio can provide insights into a company's inventory
management efficiency and sales performance. However, it's important to investigate the
reasons behind changes in the ratio to determine if they are due to sustainable improvements
or short-term factors.

was relatively stable at around 1.15, indicating that the company was generating sales revenue
roughly equal to its assets during those years.
In 2019, the asset turnover ratio decreased to 0.96, suggesting a decline in the company's
efficiency in generating sales from its assets. This could be due to various factors such as lower
sales volume, increased asset base, or changes in the company's operations.
The asset turnover ratio further dropped in 2020 to 0.65, indicating a significant decrease in the
company's ability to generate sales from its assets. A sharp decline in this ratio could signal
potential issues with the company's operations, asset management, or market conditions.
However, in 2021, the asset turnover ratio rebounded to 1.18, surpassing the previous years'
ratios. This increase suggests an improvement in the company's efficiency in generating sales
from its assets, potentially through better utilization of resources or increased sales volume.

earnings.

company's earnings were still comfortably covering its interest payments.

the company's ability to cover its interest expenses with its earnings. A sharp decline in the ratio
may indicate financial difficulties or a decrease in profitability.

cover its interest expenses, but with little margin for financial flexibility.

about Bata company's financial health and its ability to meet its interest obligations. The slight
