Ratio Analysis of S. Alam Cold Rolled Steels Ltd.
Ratio analysis compares line-item data from a company's financial statements to reveal insights
regarding profitability, liquidity, operational efficiency, and solvency. Ratio analysis can mark how
a company is performing over time, while comparing a company to another within the same
industry or sector.
1)Liquidity Ratio:
Liquidity ratios are a measure of the ability of a company to pay off its short-term liabilities.
Liquidity ratios determine how quickly a company can convert the assets and use them for meeting
the dues that arise. The higher the ratio, the easier is the ability to clear the debts and avoid
defaulting on payments. Common liquidity ratios include the quick ratio, current ratio, and days
sales outstanding.
2)Solvency Ratio:
A solvency ratio is a key metric used to measure an enterprise's ability to meet its long-term debt
obligations and is used often by prospective business lenders. A solvency ratio indicates whether
a company's cash flow is sufficient to meet its long-term liabilities and thus is a measure of its
financial health. There are four primary solvency ratios, including the interest coverage ratio, the
debt-to-asset ratio, the equity ratio, and the debt-to-equity ratio. Creditors and investors often use
solvency ratios to gauge the sustainability of a business before lending or investing.
3)Profitability Ratio:
Profitability ratios are a type of accounting ratio that helps in determining the financial
performance of business at the end of an accounting period. Profitability ratios show how well a
company is able to make profits from its operations. Examples of profitability ratios include gross
profit margins, return on assets, return on equity, and EBITDA.

the company may have a harder time covering its liabilities.

The current ratio is a measure of a company’s liquidity and its ability to cover its short- term
liabilities. A current ratio above 1 is generally considered healthy, as it indicates that a company
has more current assets to cover its current liabilities. Based on the provided current ratios: RSRM
-3.33, SS Steel-2.08, GPH Ispat -1.0018 These companies have current ratios above 1, which
suggests they are in a relatively good position to cover their short-term liabilities. On the other
hand: BSRM-.96 and Alam Steel -.854 These companies have current ratios below 1, which may
indicate a potential liquidity concern. A current ratio below 1 means they may have difficulty
covering their short-term obligations with their current assets.

As a conventional rule, a debt-equity ratio of 1:1is considered satisfactory. In the diagram, we see
that four (BSRM, SS Steel, S. Alam steel, GPH Ispat) companies’ debt-equity ratio is unfavorable.
It is clear that from the debt-equity ratio that four (4) companies have contributed more funds than
owners. A high debt-equity ratio may be unfavorable as the firm may not be able to raise further
borrowing, without paying higher interest, and accepting stringent conditions. This situation
creates undue pressures and unfavorable conditions to the firm from the lenders/creditors.

the three companies’ quick ratio are respectively. 31:1,.362:1, and.4735:1 which is not acceptable.
Thus, if the three companies’ inventories do not sell, and it has to pay all its current liabilities, it
may find it difficult to meet its obligations. On the other hand, the rest of the two companies’ quick
ratios are 2.36:1 and 1.58:1 which is acceptable. Investors can safely invest in these two
companies.

Recommendations
Financial Analysis is a process of identifying the financial strength and weakness of the firm by
establishing relationships. Between the items, the balance sheet and profit and loss account.
Financial analysis helps to assess the financial position and profitability of a concern.
In this study to assess the selected firm’s financial status, ratio analysis has been applied covering
liquidity, profitability and solvency ratios. This study evaluates and compares the performance
of 5 steel companies (BSRM, RSRM, SS Steel, S. Alam Steel and GPH Ispat). The period of study
is the years 2021-2022.
The research study has analyzed the performance of selected steel companies. The methodology
of the present study includes data collection and data analysis tools used for the study.
The present research study is based on purely secondary data. The data for this analysis is taken
from each company. annual reports and other related information are taken from concerned steel
company websites, books, and journals.
In this research study, different ratio analysis has been used like current ratio, acid ratio, debt-to-
equity ratio, return on assets (ROA) and net profit margins analysis and graph analysis applied for
processing the data to give reliable conclusion. Comparing all the profitability ratios, it is inferred
that out of the ratios, SS steel company gains the highest net profit margin at 11.45% and S Alam
company has the lowest position in profit margin and less efficient cost management with 1.31%
and SS steel, BSRM and GPH company performed better in return on assets ratio and the other
selected companies. in the study must improve its level better in the coming years to reach the next
level. Comparing short term liquidity ratios,
It is inferred that RSRM and GPH Ispat company have performed better in current and quick
ratio, and other selected companies in this study have to improve their level. Comparing the debt-
to-equity ratio, it is inferred that all companies’ debt-to-equity ratio is favorable.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the financial analysis conducted on the five selected steel companies, namely
BSRM, RSRM, SS Steel, S. Alam Steel, and GPH Ispat for the period of 2021-2022, sheds light
on their respective financial positions and performance. Through a comprehensive application of
ratio analysis encompassing liquidity, profitability, and solvency ratios, valuable insights have

robust performance, underscoring their effective utilization of assets to generate profits. However,
other companies in the study have room for growth in this aspect. In the realm of short-term
liquidity, RSRM and GPH Ispat stand out with superior current and quick ratios, indicating strong
liquidity positions. The remaining companies would benefit from efforts to bolster their liquidity.

prudent approach to capital structure. This aspect reflects a balanced mix of debt and equity
financing. The findings of this analysis provide valuable insights for the selected steel companies,
offering a roadmap for further strategic enhancements in the coming years. By leveraging these
insights, these companies have the potential to ascend to greater heights in their
respective markets.
