FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS


An analysis of the financial statements of a business to assess its performance and position.
Ratios are normally calculated from the financial statements to assess the profitability, solvency,
working capital management, liquidity, and capital structure of an organization.

RATIO ANALYSIS
The use of accounting ratios is to evaluate a company’s operating performance and financial
stability. Such ratios as return on capital employed and gross profit percentage can be used to
assess profitability. The liquidity ratios can be used to examine solvency and gearing ratios to
examine the financial structure of the company. The analysis of ratios can indicate how well a
company is run, the risks of financial insolvency, and the financial returns provided.
 Liquidity Ratio.
 Leverage Ratio.
 Activity Ratio.
 Investors/Shareholders Ratio.
 Profitability Ratio.

LIQUIDITY RATIO
Liquidity means the ability of the firm to pay its way. Liquidity ratios are the ratios that measure
a company’s liquid position.

LEVERAGE RATIO
Any ratio used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of the company's
methods of financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations. There are several
different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt, equity, assets and interest expenses.

ACTIVITY RATIO
Activity ratios are the rate at which the company sells its stock and the efficiency with which it
uses its assets.

INVESTORS RATIO
Information to enable decisions to be made on the extent of the risk and the earning potential of
a business investment is investors’ ratio.

PROFITABILITY RATIO
Profitability ratio is a class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to
generate earnings as compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred during a
specific period of time. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor's
ratio or the same ratio from a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well.

WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is the capital that is used to finance the day-to-day operations of a company.
Working capital is calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities

CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio is the ratio of the current assets of a business to the current liabilities; it is used as
a test of liquidity.

Current assets
Current ratio =
Current liabilities

QUICK RATIO (ACID TEST RATIO)


Quick ratio is a ratio used for assessing the liquidity of a company; it is the ratio of the liquid
assets (i.e. current assets less the inventory) to the current liabilities.

Quick assets
Quick ratio =
Current liabilities

QUICK ASSETS
Quick assets are the assets held in cash or in something that can be readily turned into cash with
minimal capital loss (e.g. deposits in a bank current account, accounts receivable, marketable
investments).

Quick assets = Current assets – Inventory – Prepaid expenses

EQUITY RATIO
Total shareholders’ equity x 100
Equity ratio =
Total assets

DEBT RATIO
A ratio used to examine the financial structure or gearing (leverage) of a business. The long-
term debt, normally including preference shares, of a business is expressed as a percentage of
its equity. A highly geared company is one in which the debt is higher than the equity, compared
to the other companies in a similar industry.

Total liabilities
Debt ratio =
Total assets

DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO


Total liabilities x 100
Debt to equity ratio =
Total shareholders’ equity

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER


A ratio for analyzing the level of accounts receivable in relation to the amount of credit sales.
The formula is net credit sales divided by average accounts receivable. A high turnover indicates
faster collection.

Net credit sales


Accounts receivable turnover in times =
Average accounts receivable

365
Accounts receivable turnover in days =
Receivable turnover in times

Accounts receivable (beg) + Accounts receivable (end)


Average receivable =
2

INVENTORY TURNOVER
A ratio for financial analysis that communicates the efficiency of inventory management. The
formula is inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory held. It is important to
match up the time period covered by the cost of goods sold and the time period of the average
inventory. If the ratio is high, it means inventory items are not in the warehouse long before
sale. If the ratio is low, it means the company has a lot of inventory on hand in relation to the
amount it sells. While a high ratio may indicate efficiency, a high ratio may also involve a risk of
running out of products and losing sales. A low ratio could mean that the company has obsolete
inventory that will never be sold, or that the company has built up inventory in anticipation of
higher prices or shortages. Interpretations of the inventory-turnover ratio require comparisons
with industry averages. However, some publishers of comparative data use sales in the
numerator of the ratio, so the reader has to investigate for comparability.

Cost of goods sold


Inventory turnover in times =
Average inventory

365
Inventory turnover in days =
Inventory turnover in times

Inventory (beg) + Inventory (end)


Average inventory =
2

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TURNOVER


A ratio for analyzing the level of accounts payable in relation to the amount of inventory
purchases. The formula is inventory purchases divided by average accounts payable. The higher
the turnover, the faster the company is paying for inventory purchases.

Net credit purchases


Accounts payable turnover in times =
Average accounts payable

365
Accounts payable turnover in days =
Payable turnover in times

Accounts payable (beg) + Accounts payable (end)


Average payable =
2

OPERATING CYCLE
Operating cycle is the average time between acquiring inventory and receiving cash from its
sale.

Operating cycle = Inventory turnover in days + Receivable turnover in days

Inventory turnover in days + Accounts receivable turnover


Average operating cycle = in days
2

NET PROFIT PERCENTAGE


Net profit margin is a ratio of financial performance calculated by expressing the net profit as
percentage of sales revenue.

Profit before Interest and Tax X 100


Net profit percentage =
Net sales

GROSS PROFIT PERCENTAGE


Gross profit percentage is a ratio of financial performance calculated by expressing the gross
profit as percentage of sales revenue. With retailing companies in particular, it is regarded as a
prime measure of their trading success.

Gross profit X 100


Gross profit percentage =
Net sales

COST OF GOODS SOLD PERCENTAGE


Cost of goods sold X 100
Cost of goods sold percentage =
Net sales

OPERATING EXPENSES PERCENTAGE


Operating expenses X 100
Operating expenses percentage =
Net sales

RATE OF RETURN ON ASSETS


Rate of return on assets is an accounting ratio expressing the amount of profit for an accounting
period as a percentage of the assets of a company.

Net profit X 100


Rate of return on assets =
Total assets

ASSETS TURNOVER
A ratio used in financial statement analysis to investigate how efficiently assets are used to
generate earnings. The numerator is usually sales for the period and the denominator is the
average value of the specific assets held during the period covered by the sales. A higher ratio is
better, but the exact number depends on the industry & should be compared to industry norms.

Net sales X 100


Assets turnover =
Average assets

Total assets (beg) + Total assets (end)


Average assets =
2
RATE OF RETURN ON SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
A financial analysis tool that measures how well a company generates earnings compared to the
amount of capital shareholders have invested in the firm. The formula is net income divided by
average common shareholders’ equity. If the company has preferred stock, the preferred stock
dividends are subtracted from net income before dividing by equity.

Net income X 100


Rate of return on shareholders’ equity =
Shareholders’ equity

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)


The profit attributable to each ordinary share in a company based on consolidated profit for the
period, after deducting minority interest and preference shares dividends. This profit figure is
divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

Net profit
Earnings per share =
Average no. of shares

PRICE EARNINGS RATIO


Price earnings ratio is a comparison of the current market price of a company share to the
earning per share of the company. The price earnings ratio is one of the main indicators used by
the fundamental analysts to decide whether the shares in a company are expensive or cheap,
relative to the market.

Market price per share


Price earnings ratio =
Earnings per share

EARNINGS RATIO
Earnings per share X 100
Earnings ratio =
Market price per share

BOOK VALUE PER SHARE


A financial ratio that is calculated as common stockholders’ equity divided by the number of
outstanding shares. Common stockholders’ equity is the total stockholders’ equity less the par
value of any preferred stock. This ratio is refined further if preferred stock is redeemable, has
dividends in arrears, or has a participating feature. In those cases, part of retained earnings is
deducted so that the equity really represents that which is available to common shareholders.

Shareholders’ equity
Book value per share =
Number of shares

NUMBER OF SHARES
Share capital
Number of shares =
Par value of share

DIVIDEND PER SHARE


The total dividend declared by a company in a year divided by the total number of ordinary
shares on which the divided is paid.

Cash dividend declared


Dividend per share =
Number of ordinary shares

DIVIDEND YIELD
A ratio computed by dividing the annual dividends paid per share of ordinary share by the
market price per share at a specific date; indicates the rate of return to shareholders in terms of
cash dividend distributions.

Dividend per share X 100


Dividend yield =
Market price per share

SHARE CAPITAL
Share capital = Shareholders’ equity – Retained earnings

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity = Total assets – Total liabilities

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED (ROCE)


Profit before interest and tax X 100
Return on capital employed =
Capital employed
Capital employed = Total assets – Total current liabilities
