Analysis of

Financial
Statements
  Study of relationships between the
variables of the same statement or
different financial statements and the
trend of these elements.

Analysis of
Financial
 Analysis can be external or internal;
Statements
 horizontal or vertical; and
 intra-firm or inter-firm.
  Horizontal analysis

 Comparative financial statements

 Trend percentage

Tools of
Analysis  Vertical analysis (common size
financial statements)
 
 Ratio analysis
 
  Figures of two or more periods are
Horizontal Analysis
placed side by side.

Comparative  Comparison of absolute and

Financial percentage change in the figures
Statements over the periods is made to derive
meaningful conclusions.
 
 Lets do it on your company.
  Trend percentages are useful for
making a comparative study of the
financial statements over a number
of years.
Horizontal Analysis
 The earliest year used for
comparison is treated as the base
year.
Trend
Percentages
 The base year figure for each item
of the financial statement is taken as
100.

 The figures for the subsequent years

are expressed as percentages of the
base year figure
  Expressing various components of the
financial statements as a percentage of
a common base which is taken as 100
Vertical analysis
 Balance sheet – Percentage of total of
assets
 Profit and loss a/c – Percentage of
Common Size sales
Statements
 Helps is understanding the relative
importance of different components.
 Change in weight over a period of
time.
  Ratio analysis makes use of financial ratios
for financial analysis.

 Financial ratios are relationships between

two financial variables appearing in
financial statements.
Ratio Analysis

 Interpreting the relationships to form

judgment regarding the financial affairs of
the unit.
  The averages for the industry in
which the company operates

 The ratios of another company in its

industry
Benefits of Ratio
Analysis
 Its own ratios from previous years

 Its planned ratios for the current and

future years
  Depending on the purpose they
serve, ratios may be classified as:
 Profitability Analysis
Classification of  Efficiency/Turnover Analysis
Ratios  Liquidity Analysis
 Leverage Analysis
 Ratios involving Share Information.
  The profitability ratios are used to
check if the company is generating
an acceptable return for its owners.

 Both creditors and investors are

interested in the profit-making
Profitability ability of a company.

Ratios
 Lack of adequate profitability
adversely affects the liquidity of the
company, its ability to raise external
financing and its growth prospects.
 Widely used measures of profitability
include
1. Gross profit margins,
2. Operating profit margins
Profitability 3. Net profit margins
Ratios 4. Earnings per share (EPS),
5. Return on capital employed
(ROCE),
6. Return on assets (ROA) and
7. Return on equity (ROE).
  Profit margins are used to analyze the
profit made per unit of sales.
 Three kinds of profit margins are
Profitability Ratios generally used: gross profit margin,
operating profit margin and net profit
margin.

Gross profit
Gross profit ratio= 100
Profit Margin Sales

Profit before interest and tax

Operating profit ratio= 100

Net profit
Net profit ratio= 100
Sales
 Example
 Last year, XYZ Corporation had net
sales of $8,000,000 and its cost of
goods sold was $6,000,000.
1. Gross Profit
Margin  Gross margin = gross profit / net
sales
 Example
 Assume that XYZ is a regular corporation which
had $8,000,000 of net sales Its expenses were:
cost of goods sold of $6,000,000; SG&A
3. Net profit expenses of $1,250,000; interest expense of
margin $30,000; and income tax expense of $160,000.

  This ratio helps in evaluating the
prevailing market price of the share.
Profitability Ratios

 Higher earnings per share translate into a

higher market price because it indicates
4. Earnings per better performance and prospects of the
Share company

Net profit - preference dividend

Earnings per share=

EPS annual dividend of $40,000. Assuming
Share that XYZ's net income after tax was
$560,000 and it had 100,000 shares of
common stock outstanding throughout
the entire year
Profitability Ratios  Diluted EPS = (net income – preferred
dividends) / (weighted average number
of shares outstanding + the conversion of
any in-the-money options, warrants, and
4. Earnings per other dilutive securities)
Share (Diluted)
  Return on Capital Employed measures
the returns generated by the business on
the amount invested in the business.
Profitability Ratios
 This is a key ratio and all other ratios can
be linked to this.
5. Return on
Capital
 This ratio can be used to judge the
Employed enterprise’s borrowing policy and
whether the funds have been usefully
deployed in the business

Profit before interest and tax

Return on capital employed= 100
Average (Long-term liabilities+Owner's equity)
  This ratio relates profit to investment in
the enterprise and shows how much the
Profitability Ratios firm has earned on the investment of all
the financial resources, that is, owners’
equity, long-term liabilities and current
liabilities.
6. Return on
Assets (ROA)  ROA is often used by the top management
to evaluate the performance of divisional
managers in the use of assets.

Profit before interest and tax

Return on assets= 100
Average Total assets
  This ratio relates profit earned on
shareholder’s funds.

Profitability Ratios
 Return = Profit after Tax/Shareholder’s
funds * 100
Return on  Shareholder’s funds = Equity Capital +
Shareholder’s Res. & Surplus + Pref. Share Capital –
Funds Fictitious Assets
  The return on equity relates profits to
owners’ equity. Equity stands for owners’
funds.

Profitability Ratios
 This ratio may be used for declaration of
dividend and building up of reserves.

Return on
 It also indicates the efficiency with which
Equity (ROE)
funds are deployed in the business

 ROE = PAT/Equity Cap.

 Equity Cap. = Eq. Share Cap. + Res. &
Surplus – Fictitious Assets
 Example  Assume that during the past year a
corporation had net income after tax
(earnings) of $560,000. It was
determined that a representative average
Return on amount of stockholders' equity during
Equity the year was $2,800,000.
  Share of Shareholder’s funds in the total
Profitability Ratios assets of the company

 PR = Shareholder’s funds/Total Assets

Proprietary  Shareholder’s funds = Equity Capital +
Ratio Res. & Surplus + Pref. Share Capital –
Fictitious Assets
 Total Assets = Total Assets – Fictitious
Assets
  The efficiency ratios measure the
effectiveness with which a concern uses the
resources or assets at its disposal.

 These ratios are usually calculated on the

basis of sales or cost of sales, and are
expressed in number of times rather than as
Efficiency a percentage.

Ratios
 Such ratios should be calculated separately
for each type of asset.

 The greater the ratio, the more will be the

efficiency of asset usage. A lower ratio will
show under utilization of resources
available to the concern.

  The inventory turnover ratio indicates the
speed at which a company's inventory of
goods was sold during the past year.
Efficiency ratios Higher ratio is good.
 Since there are risks and costs associated
with holding inventory, companies strive
for a high inventory turnover ratio, so

 A very high ratio resulting from
extremely low level of inventory may
result in loss of sales in future due to the
inability to deliver goods promptly

 Example
 A company had sales of $420,000 and its
cost of goods sold was $280,000. Also
assume that the company's balance sheet at

9. Number of
Days’ Inventory
 The days' sales in inventory (also known
as days to sell) indicates
the average number of days that it took
for a company to sell its inventory.
 The goal is to have the fewest number of
days of inventory on hand
 Of course, there is also a cost for being
out of stock. Number of days’ inventory
indicates how long the inventory is held
by the company on an average. Lower
ratio is good.
 =365/inventory turnover

  The debtors’ turnover ratio shows
the relation between sales and
Efficiency ratios outstanding amount due from the
debtors to whom goods were sold
on credit.
10. Debtors’
/ARs’ Turnover  A high debtors’ turnover ratio shows
Ratio prompt collection of bills.
 Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Closing
Debtors
 Example

 Assume that the company had $570,000

10. Debtors’ of net credit sales during the year and
on average it had accounts receivable
/ARs’ Turnover
during the year of $60,000.
Ratio
  This is a measure of the average length
of time taken for debtors to settle their

11. Average  Having a smaller number of days' sales

in receivables means that on average,
Collection the company is converting its
Period receivables into the cash needed to pay
its current liabilities.

Average collection period=
Debtors' turnover ratio
  The creditors’ turnover ratio shows the
relation between purchases and
outstanding amount due to the creditors
from whom goods were purchased on
Efficiency ratios credit.

 A high creditors’ turnover ratio means

that the company takes a long time to

the liquidity position of the company

 The following ratios will be discussed

under it:

Analysis 15. Current ratio
16. Quick ratio
 Liquidity Analysis
14. Working
capital
Working capital = current assets -
current liabilities
 Working capital is defined as the amount
remaining after subtracting a corporation's
total amount of current liabilities from the
total amount of its current assets.
 Generally, the larger the amount of
working capital, the more likely a
company will be able to pay its suppliers,
lenders, employees, etc. when the amounts
are due.
 Liquidity Analysis  Current ratio is the relation of a
company’s current assets to its current
liabilities.

15. Current
 This ratio establishes the ability of the
Ratio business to meet its short-term
obligations. and is therefore of particular
significance to short-term creditors

Current assets
Current ratio=
Current liabilities
 Example
 ABC is a large manufacturing
corporation with $4,200,000 of
current assets and $4,000,000 of
15. Current current liabilities. Therefore, ABC's
Ratio current ratio is:
  Beta Company is an internet
Example business with significant daily sales
to customers who must pay with a
credit card when ordering.

15. Current  If Beta Company had $35,000 of

Ratio current assets and $20,000 of
current liabilities, its current ratio at
that moment would be:
  The quick ratio is more conservative
than the current ratio because the
amounts of a company's inventory and
prepaid expenses are not included. 
Liquidity Analysis

 As a result, only the company's "quick"

assets consisting of cash, cash
16. Quick Ratio equivalents, investments and AR are
divided by the total amount of the
company's current liabilities.

 The quick ratio is commonly known as

the acid test ratio.
Current assets - Inventories
Quick ratio=
Current liabilities
 Example
A manufacturing corporation has
$4,200,000 of current assets and
$4,000,000 of current liabilities. However,
the $4,200,000 of current assets includes
16. Quick Ratio $2,600,000 of inventory and prepaid
expenses.
 Example  Assume that Beta Company is an
internet business with lots of sales
every day and customers pay when
ordering.

16. Quick Ratio

 Beta's current assets of $35,000
includes $9,000 of inventory and
$1,000 of prepaid expenses.
  Tests of long-term solvency focus
on the ability of the company to pay
interest and repay principal of its
long-term borrowings.

Solvency Ratio
 These ratios are commonly called
“Solvency Ratios”.
 The main ratios in this category are
17. debt–equity ratio and
18. interest coverage ratio
Solvency Ratio 19. Net Debt
  The debt–equity ratio relates debt to equity or
owners’ funds.

Capital Structure  This ratio indicates the degree of protection

Ratio enjoyed by long-term lenders.

 The lower the ratio, the higher will be the

degree of protection to the lenders.
17. Debt–Equity
Ratio  A debt–equity ratio of 2:1 was considered
satisfactory in the past.

 For capital-intensive industries such as ship-

building, power units, cement units etc. a
Debt higher ratio is allowed.
Debt--equity ratio=

Financial  Ratio = Total Assets/ Shareholder’s Funds

Leverage Ratio  Higher ratio implies financial leverage
  The interest coverage ratio relates interest
obligations to profits before interest and
tax

Solvency Ratio
 It indicates the number of times interest
obligation is covered by the profits for
the period.
18. Interest
Coverage Ratio  It is always desirable to have profits more
  than the interest payable; otherwise the
position of the lenders is unsafe.

 This ratio is calculated as follows:

Profit before interest and tax
Interest coverage ratio=
Interest
 Example
 Assume that XYZ Corporation had net
income after income tax of $560,000,
interest expense of $30,000 and income tax

  Net debt is a financial liquidity metric that
measures a company’s ability to pay all its
debts if they were due today.
Solvency Ratio
 In other words, net debt compares a
company’s total debt with its liquid assets.

19. Net Debt  It is used to determine if a company can

repay its obligations if they were all due
today and whether the company is able to
take on more debt.

Net debt = Short-term debt + Long-term debt – Cash and equivalents

interested in the return from their
investment in the form of dividend and
price appreciation.

Ratios Involving
Share  Ratio that capture the relationship among
Information dividend, earnings and market price of
share are of particular interest to existing
and potential investors in a company’s

Information
 A low dividend yield may mean that either
the investors expect the dividends to grow
rapidly or the share is overpriced.
