Why Do We Analyze Financial Statements? To know firm’s financial strengths & weaknesses Financial statements can be analyzed: Internally -- by managers Externally -- by bankers, suppliers, investors
Common Size Financial Statements – Standardizing Financial Information A common size financial statement is a standardized version of a financial statement in which all entries are presented in percentages. A common size financial statement helps to compare entries in a firm’s financial statements, even if firms are not of equal size. How to prepare a common size financial statement? For a common size income statement, divide each entry in income statement by company’s sales. For a common size balance sheet, divide each entry in balance sheet by firm’s total assets.
From Chapter 3 Income Statement Table 1 2013 2013

Financial Ratios & Analysis Financial ratios provide another method for standardizing financial information on income statement & balance sheet. Financial ratios analysis: Industry comparative analysis Cross sectional analysis Time series analysis
Liquidity Ratios Liquidity ratios address a basic question: How liquid is the firm? A firm is financially liquid if it is able to pay its bills on time. Firm’s liquidity can be analyzed from two perspectives: 1. Overall or general firm liquidity: is analyzed by comparing current assets to current liabilities. Current ratio & Quick ratio 2. Liquidity of specific current asset: is analyzed by examining timeliness in which firm’s liquid assets – accounts receivable & inventories – are converted into cash. Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio (ARTO) Average Collection Period (ACP) Inventory Turnover Ratio (INVTO) Days’ Sales in Inventory (or Inventory Period)
Liquidity Ratios: Current Ratio Current Ratio (CR): compares a firm’s current (liquid) assets to its current (short-term) liabilities CR for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If CR of industry avg. for 2013 = 1.8 times Analysis: Better
Liquidity Ratios: Quick Ratio Quick ratio excludes inventory from current assets as inventory may not always be very liquid. QR for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If QR of industry avg. for 2013 = 0.94 times Analysis: On Par
Liquidity Ratios: Individual Asset Categories We can also measure liquidity of firm by examining liquidity of individual current asset including accounts receivable &inventories. How long it takes firm to convert its accounts receivables & inventories into cash. Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio (ARTO) Average Collection Period (ACP) Inventory Turnover Ratio (INVTO) Days’ Sales in Inventory (or Inventory Period)
Liquidity Ratios: Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio (ARTO) measures how many times accounts receivable are “rolled over” during a year ARTO for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If ARTO of industry avg. for 2013 = 14.6 times Analysis: Better
Liquidity Ratios: Accounts Receivable Average Collection Period (ACP) measures number of days it takes firm to collects its receivables ACP for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If ACP of industry avg. for 2013 = 25 days Analysis: Better
Liquidity Ratios: Inventory Turnover Ratio Inventory Turnover Ratio (INVTO) measures how many times company turns over its inventory during the year. INVTO for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If INVTO of industry avg. for 2013 = 7 times Analysis: Worse
Liquidity Ratios: Days’ Sales in Inventory We can express inventory turnover ratio in terms of number of daysinventory sits unsold on firm’s shelves. Shorter inventory cycle (less number of days) leads to greater liquidity since inventory are converted to cash more quickly. Days’ Sales in Inventory (DSI) = 365÷Inventory Turnover Ratio DSI for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013=365÷5.36 = 68.10 days If DSI of industry avg. for 2013 = 52.14 days Analysis: Worse
Can a Firm Have Too Much Liquidity? A high investment in liquid assets will enable firm to repay its current liabilities in a timely manner. However, an excessive investments in liquid assets is costly to firm because liquid assets (i.e. cash) generate minimal return.
Capital Structure Ratios Capital structure refers to the way a firm finances its assets. Capital structure ratios address the important question: How has the firm financed the purchase of its assets? We will use two ratios, debt ratio & times interest earned ratio (TIE), to answer the question.
Capital Structure Ratios Debt ratio (DR) measures proportion of firm’s assets that are financed by borrowing or debt financing DR for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If DR of industry avg. for 2013 = 35% Analysis=Worse
Capital Structure Ratios Times Interest Earned Ratio (TIE) measures ability of firm to service its debt or repay interest on debt We use EBIT (operating income) as interest expense is paid before a firm pays its taxes. TIE for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If TIE of industry avg. for 2013 = 7 times Analysis: Worse
Asset Management Ratios (Efficiency Ratios) Asset management (efficiency) ratios measure a firm’s effectiveness in utilizing its assets to generate sales They are commonly referred to as turnover ratios as they reflect number of times a particular asset account (A/R, INV, FA, TA) turns over during a year.
Asset Management Ratios (Efficiency Ratios) Total Asset Turnover Ratio represents the amount of sales generated per dollar invested in firm’s total assets TATO for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If TATO of industry avg. for 2013 = 1.15 times Analysis: Better
Asset Management Ratios (Efficiency Ratios) Fixed asset turnover ratio measures firm’s efficiency in utilizing its fixed assets (i.e. property, plant & equipment) to generate sales FATO for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If FATO of industry avg. for 2013 = 1.75 times Analysis: Better
Asset Management Ratios or Efficiency Ratios We can similarly compute turnover ratios for other assets (INV, A/R). We had earlier computed receivables turnover & inventory turnover, which measured firm effectiveness in managing its investments in accounts receivables & inventories.
Profitability Ratios Profitability ratios address a fundamental question: Has firm earned enough returns on its investments? We answer this question by analyzing firm’s profit margin, which predict the ability of firm to control its expenses, and the firm’s rate of return on investments. Two fundamental determinants of firm’s profitability and returns on investments are: Cost control (profit margin) Is firm control its costs and earn reasonable profit margin? Efficiency of asset utilization Is firm efficiently utilize assets to generate sales?
Profitability Ratios Gross profit margin (GPM) shows how well firm’s management controls its cost of goods sold to generate gross profits GPM for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If GPM of industry avg. for 2013 = 28.2% Analysis: Worse
Profitability Ratios Operating Profit Margin (OPM) measures how much operating profit is generated from sales after accounting for both costs of goods sold & operating expenses OPM for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If OPM of industry avg. for 2013 = 15.5% Analysis: Worse
Profitability Ratios Net Profit Margin (NPM) measures how much net income is generated from sales after adjusting for all costs & expenses (including income taxes) NPM for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If NPM of industry avg. for 2013 = 10.2% Analysis: Worse
Profitability Ratios Operating Return on Assets ratio (OROA) is a summary measure of operating profitability, which takes into account both management’s success in controlling expenses, contributing to operating profit margins, and its efficient use of assets to generate sales. OROA for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If OROA of industry avg. for 2013 = 17.8% Analysis: Better
Profitability Ratios Decomposing OROA ratio: We can use the following equation to decompose OROA ratio to analyze firm’s ability to control costs & utilize its investments in assets efficiently
Profitability Ratios Figure 1
Figure 1: Observations Firm’s OROA (operating return on assets) is better than its peers. Firm earned more net operating income (EBIT) per dollar invested in total assets. Firm’s OPM (operating profit margin) is lower than its peers. Firm retained a lower percentage of its sales in net operating income (problem with cost controlling). Firm’s TATO (total asset turnover ratio) is higher than its peers. Firm generated more sales from its assets (better TA utilization).
Figure 1: Recommendations Firm has two opportunities to improve its profitability: Reduce costs Firm must investigate cost of goods sold & operating expenses to see if there are opportunities to reduce costs. Reduce inventories – Firm must investigate if it can reduce the size of its inventories.
Is Firm Providing a Reasonable Return on Owner’s Investment? A firm’s net income consists of earnings that is available for distribution to firm’s shareholders. Return on Equity (ROE) ratio measure accounting return on common stockholders’ investment ROE for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If ROE of industry avg. for 2013 = 18% Analysis: Better
Using DuPont Method for Decomposing ROE ratio DuPont method analyzes ROE by decomposing it into three parts: profitability, efficiency & equity multiplier Equity multiplier captures the effect of using debt financing on ROE. Equity multiplier increases in value as firm uses moredebt financing.
Using DuPont Method for Decomposing ROE ratio The following table shows why Boswell’s ROE was higher than its peers. Boswell had a higher ROE because Higher TATO Use more debt financing (financial leverage) Interests are tax deductible expenses
Market Value Ratios Market value ratios address the question: How are the firm’s shares valued in stock market? Two market value ratios are: Price-Earnings Ratio Market-to-Book Ratio
Market Value Ratios Price-Earnings (PE) Ratio indicate how much investors are currently willing to pay for $1 of reported earnings PE for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= (assume mkt. price per share = $32) If PE of industry avg. for 2013 = 12 times Analysis: Better
Market Value Ratios Market-to-Book Ratio measure relationship between market value & accumulated investment in firm’s equity Market-to-Book ratio for H.J. Boswell, Inc. for 2013= If Market-to-Book of industry avg. for 2013 = 2.7 times Analysis: Better
Summing up Financial Analysis of H. J. Boswell, Inc. Liquidity: With the exception of inventory turnover ratio, liquidity ratios were adequate to good. The firm needs to see how inventory management can be improved. Financial Leverage: Firm uses more debt than its peers, which exposes firm to a higher degree of financial risk or potential default on its debt in the future. Profitability: Firm had favorable net operating income (despite lower profit margins), largely due to its higher asset turnover ratio. ROE was also higher than peer group due to the use of more debt. Market Value Ratios: These ratios suggest that the market is pleased with the firm as indicated by higher stock valuations.
