  2. Financial Statement Analysis • Are our decisions maximizing shareholder wealth?

  3. We will want to answer questions about the firm’s • Liquidity • Efficient use of Assets • Leverage (financing) • Profitability

  4. We will want to answer questions about the firm’s • Liquidity • Efficient use of Assets • Leverage (financing) • Profitability

  5. Financial Ratios • Tools that help us determine the financial health of a company. • We can compare a company’s financial ratios with its ratios in previous years (trend analysis). • We can compare a company’s financial ratios with those of its industry.

  6. Example:CyberDragon Corporation

  10. 1. Liquidity Ratios • Do we have enough liquid assets to meet approaching obligations?

  11. What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio?

  12. 50,190 25,523 = 1.97 What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio?

  13. 50,190 25,523 = 1.97 What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio? If the average current ratio for the industry is 2.4, is this good or not?

  14. What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio?

  15. 50,190 - 27,530 25,523 = .89 What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio?

  16. 50,190 - 27,530 25,523 = .89 What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio? Suppose the industry average is .92. What does this tell us?

  17. What is the firm’s Average Collection Period?

  18. 18,320 112,760/365 = 59.3 days What is the firm’s Average Collection Period?

  19. 18,320 112,760/365 = 59.3 days What is the firm’s Average Collection Period? If the industry average is 47 days, what does this tell us?

  20. 2. Operating Efficiency Ratios • Measure how efficiently the firm’s assets generate operating profits.

  21. What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)?

  22. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)?

  23. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)? • Slightly below the industry average of 15%.

  24. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)? • Slightly below the industry average of 15%. • The OIROI reflects product pricing and the firm’s ability to keep costs down.

  25. What is their Operating Profit Margin?

  26. 11,520 112,760 = 10.22% What is their Operating Profit Margin?

  27. 11,520 112,760 = 10.22% What is their Operating Profit Margin? • This is below the industry average of • 12%.

  28. What is their Total Asset Turnover?

  29. 112,760 81,890 = 1.38 times What is their Total Asset Turnover?

  30. 112,760 81,890 = 1.38 times What is their Total Asset Turnover? The industry average is 1.82 times. The firm needs to figure out how to squeeze more sales dollars out of its assets.

  37. Low inventory turnover: The firm may have too much inventory, which is expensive because: • Inventory takes up costly warehouse space. • Some items may become spoiled or obsolete.

  41. 3. Leverage Ratios(financing decisions) • Measure the impact of using debt capital to finance assets. • Firms use debt to lever (increase) returns on common equity.

  42. How does Leverage work? • Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its earnings this year total $15,000. ROE = (ignore taxes for this example)

  43. How does Leverage work? • Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its earnings this year total $15,000. ROE = = 15% 15,000 100,000

  44. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE =

  45. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 15,000 - 4,000 50,000

  46. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 22% 15,000 - 4,000 50,000

  47. What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio?

  48. 47,523 81,890 = 58% What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio?

  49. 47,523 81,890 = 58% What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio? If the industry average is 47%, what does this tell us?

  50. 47,523 81,890 = 58% What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio? If the industry average is 47%, what does this tell us? Can leverage make the firm more profitable? Can leverage make the firm riskier?
