Fin 4201/8001 Topic 4: Valuing Companies The early years….Ratios
Ratios • Measure the strength of various firm aspects • Informational needs of creditors and investors • Facilitate time-series or cross-sectional analysis • Five types • Activity • Liquidity • Debt and solvency • Profitability • Valuation
Activity Ratios • Inventory turnover – COGS/Avg. inventory • Receivables turn – Sales/Avg. Receivables • Working Capital turn – Sales/Avg. Working Capital • Fixed Assets turn – Sales / Avg.Fixed Assets • Total Assets turn – Sales / Avg. Total Assets
Liquidity Ratios • Current – Current Asset / Current Liability • Quick – $+securities+AR / Current Liability • Cash – $+securities / Current Liability– COGS/Avg. inventory
Debt and Solvency Ratios • Long-term Debt to Capital – Long-term debt + other long-term liab. / Total capital (debt + equity) • Long-term Debt to Equity – Long-term debt + other long-term liab. / Total capital (debt + equity) • Times Interest Earned – EBIT / Interest Expense
Profitability Ratios • Gross Margin – Gross Profit / Sales • Operating Margin – Operating Income / Sales • Margin before Interest and Tax – EBIT / Sales • Pre-tax Margin – EBT / Sales • Profit Margin – Net Income / Sales

Other stuff not covered here, but may want to address in your analysis • Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – NOPLAT/ Invested Capital covered with spreadsheet later • Return on Assets (ROA) – Net income + After-tax interest / Avg. Total Assets • Return on Equity (ROE) – Net Income / Avg. Total equity
Other stuff not covered here, but may want to address in your analysis • DuPont system • 2 is greatest when no leverage • 1*2*3 = profit margin • 4 = asset turnover • 3 * 4 = ROA (does not depend on leverage) • 5 = leverage ratio – boosts ROE only if ROA>cost capital
Still more ratios • PEG – PE ratio / Earnings growthevaluates if price of growth is being realized • Enterprise value / EBITDA(market cap + total debt – Total cash) / EBITDAgood for comparisons if high level of debt or high level of cash • Fixed asset spending / Depreciationhigher may reveal long term planning, but needs to cover at least 3 years
