Chapter 2 Analysis of Financial

Statements

Financial Ratio Analysis

•Are our decisions maximizing shareholder wealth?

We will want to answer questions about the firm’s

•Liquidity•Efficient use of Assets•Leverage (financing)•Profitability

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.

1. Liquidity Ratios

•Do we have enough liquid assets to meet approaching obligations?

What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio?


current assetscurrent liabilities


50,19025,523 = 1.97


If the average current ratio for the industry is 2.4, is this good or not?

50,19025,523 = 1.97

What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio?


current assets - inventoriescurrent liabilities


50,190 - 27,53025,523 = .89


Suppose the industry average is .92.What does this tell us?

50,190 - 27,53025,523 = .89

What is the firm’s Average Collection Period?


accounts receivabledaily credit sales


18,320112,760/365 = 59.3 days


If the industry average is 47 days, what does this tell us?

18,320112,760/365 = 59.3 days

2. Operating Efficiency Ratios

•Measure how efficiently the firm’s assets generate operating profits.

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


operating incometotal assets


11,52081,890

= 14.07%

•Slightly below the industry average of 15%.


11,52081,890

= 14.07%

•Slightly below the industry average of 15%.

•The OIROI reflects product pricing and the firm’s ability to

keep costs down.


11,52081,890

= 14.07%

What is their Operating Profit Margin?


operating incomesales


11,520112,760 = 10.22%


•This is below the industry average of 12%.

11,520112,760 = 10.22%

What is their Total Asset Turnover?


salestotal assets


112,76081,890 = 1.38 times


The industry average is 1.82 times. The firm needs to figure out how to squeeze more sales dollars out of its

assets.

112,76081,890 = 1.38 times

What is the firm’s Accounts Receivable Turnover?


credit salesaccounts receivable


112,76018,320 = 6.16 times


CyberDragon turns their A/R over 6.16 times per year. The industry average

is 8.2 times. Is this efficient?

112,76018,320 = 6.16 times

What is the firm’s Inventory Turnover?


cost of goods soldinventory


85,30027,530 = 3.10 times


CyberDragon turns their inventory over 3.1 times per year.

The industry average is 3.9 times. Is this efficient?

85,30027,530 = 3.10 times

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.

What is the firm’s Fixed Asset Turnover?


salesfixed assets


112,76031,700 = 3.56 times


If the industry average is 4.6 times, whatdoes this tell us about CyberDragon?

112,76031,700 = 3.56 times

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.

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)

How does Leverage work?

• Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its earnings this year total $15,000.

ROE = = 15%

15,000100,000

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 =



ROE = =

15,000 - 4,00050,000



ROE = = 22%

15,000 - 4,00050,000

What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio?


total debttotal assets


47,52381,890 = 58%


If the industry average is 47%, whatdoes this tell us?

47,52381,890 = 58%


47,52381,890 = 58%

If the industry average is 47%, whatdoes this tell us?

Can leverage make the firm more profitable?

Can leverage make the firm riskier?

What is the firm’s Times Interest Earned Ratio?


operating incomeinterest expense


11,5203,160 = 3.65 times


The industry average is 6.7 times. This is further evidence that the firm uses

more debt financing than average.

11,5203,160 = 3.65 times

4. Return on Equity

How well are the firm’s managers maximizing shareholder wealth?

What is CyberDragon’sReturn on Equity (ROE)?


net incomecommon equity


5,01634,367 = 14.6%


The industry average is 17.54%.

5,01634,367 = 14.6%


5,01634,367 = 14.6%

The industry average is 17.54%.Is this what we would expect,

given the firm’s leverage?

Conclusion:

•Even though CyberDragon has higher

leverage than the industry average, they are much less efficient,

and therefore, less profitable.
