Financial RatiosFinancial Ratios

Ratios are used by both internal and external analysts• Internal uses
planning evaluation of management
• External uses credit granting performance monitoring investment decisions

Note: SF Payments are Sinking Fund payments which are not tax deductible. Therefore, we must divide them by (1-t) to find out how much we need before taxes to meet this after-tax expense. Also, you must include preferred dividends in this number.

Rules for Memorizing RatiosRules for Memorizing Ratios
There can be an infinite number of financial ratios, but knowing a few basic rules will help you to memorize the formulas: The basic rule is that the name tells you how to calculate the ratio.• Any ‘margin’ ratio is something divided by sales• Any ‘turnover’ ratio is sales (or a variation of
sales) divided by something• Any ‘return on’ ratio is net income (or a
variation of net income) divided by something
36
Using Financial RatiosUsing Financial Ratios
Calculating ratios is pointless unless you know how to use them
The most basic rule is: a single ratio provides very little information and may be misleading
With that in mind, there are at least 4 uses of ratios:• Trend analysis (internal and external)• Comparison to industry averages (internal and
external)• Setting and evaluating company goals (internal)• Restrictive debt covenants (external)
37
Trend Analysis of RatiosTrend Analysis of Ratios
Trend analysis involves the examination of ratios over time
The analyst tries to determine if the ratio is changing in a favorable, or unfavorable, direction
The chart shows EPI’s current ratio for two years (we really need more data)

Comparing to Industry Comparing to Industry AveragesAverages
Industry average ratios provide a benchmark for comparison
We assume that if a ratio is too far from the average something is wrong
Industry ratios are available from Robert Morris Associates and Standard & Poor’s

Company Goals and Debt Company Goals and Debt CovenantsCovenants
Company goals are often stated in terms of financial ratios• For example, it is common for management
to set goals regarding the firm’s ROE Debt covenants often contain
restrictions on certain ratios• For example, a borrower might be required
to maintain a debt to equity ratio of less than 1.0 and a current ratio greater than 2.0
