Wal-Marts Financial Reporting Analysis

Though the increase in cash indicates profitability, a persistent increase in cash also indicates that the company is unable to make the most of its cash in hand. Therefore, the company should watch its cash in hand closely. The company also needs to revisit its credit policies to ensure that it does not have a lot of money stuck in account receivables. There has been a slight drop in the goodwill of the company from the previous year, which indicates a loss of confidence of the shareholders in the company. The companys short-term liabilities have increased by more than 12%. It has a significant investment in Land and other long-term assets. The companys retained earnings form a major part of their equity. The company has been very successful in keeping a balance between its debt and equity financing.

ANALYSIS FOR LIQUIDITY RATIOS

Liquidity Ratios & Long term Debt Paying Ratios

In the above table, we are measuring the liquidity & Long term Debt Ratio. Those latter are measuring the ability of our company to pay-off its short-term debt obligations & Long term Debt paying ability of the company

By comparing the companys liquid assets and its liabilities, the greater the liquid assets compared to short term & Long term debt liabilities the better because it shows that the company can pay its debts that are due. Nevertheless, when the opposite happen, the company will have difficulties meeting its obligation and that is a bad sign for investors

Our corporation is in a good stand point, as the assets exceed liabilities, meaning that the company will be able to pay off debt that are due now and the ones that are upcoming in the future

Testing a companys liquidity & Long Term Debt ratio is the primary step for investors in analyzing a company. The firms personnel use this information to compare the firm to its competitors and allow them to implement changes within the industry

In the table above, we are discussing the profitability ratios, which is the businesss ability to generate earnings and comparing them to the expenses.

Every firm is concerned about its profitability ratio. The profitability helps us determine the companys bottom line and its return to investors. It also shows the overall efficiency and performance of the company.

Looking at the net profit margin, we can say that 3.62 cents of every dollar is a profit and that is pretty fair for our corporation.

Users of this information are company managers and owners because they are the ones looking at the firms ability to transform sales dollars into profit.

INVESTORS RATIOS

In this category we are measuring the investors ratios which are very important to consider when you want to invest in any company.

Investors should look closely into this category in order to know if the company is paying dividends, how much earning per share will they get, and how sensitive is the company to those earnings per share.

In our case, the Walmart Company is standing in a fair position. We can tell that from the degree in financial leverage that for every 1% change in operating income. EPS should change by 0.98% and that is fair for the company. As far as dividends, Walmart is paying high dividends compared to its competitors and it continues to raise every year.

Investors are the main users of this information because they are concerned about how much money they will get per share if they invest in this certain corporation.

SECTION 5: CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
Walmart should build some alliances and strategic joint ventures with other global retail companies in order to expand itself at the international front, enhance penetration into the global market and withstand the cultural shocks not coming in between the path to success. From the financial analysis that the account receivables are very high, we recommend that the company should revisit its credit policy. The company should ensure that its credit policy is not too lenient since it might in order to not have a lot of cash stuck in receivables. The company should be able to ensure that their accounts receivables turnover is quicker. We recommend Walmart should stick with its current policies and strategies for the continued best rewards it is reaping. Walmart needs to maintain consistency in its operations so that there are no significant changes in their statements across the years.
