Why do we need financial statement analysis?
  • To understand the economics of a firm and
  • To help forecast its future profitability and
    risk
  • Profitability is an increase in wealth
  • Risk is the probability that a specific level of
    profitability will be achieved.

How do we assess performance?
  • Purpose to increase shareholders wealth
  • Measure past performance in terms of operations,
    investing and financing
  • Create positive cash flows from all of the areas
    in order to create cash that exceeds companys
    cost of capital
  • Various techniques available, trend analysis,
    ratio analysis

Trend Analysis
  • Analytical Analysis
  • Vertical Analysis
  • Express the items in the financial statements as
    a percentage of total assets or sales
  • Horizontal Analysis
  • A base year is selected and the changes overtime
    are expressed as percentage of the base year

Ratio Analysis
  • Important point to be selective-too many ratios
    would lead to information overload
  • Understand the meaning and limitations of the
    ratios
  • Define the following elements before starting
  • The viewpoint taken
  • The objectives of the analysis
  • The potential standards of comparison
  • Remember ratios are not absolute they are
    relative performances over time, over a number
    of companies, over an industry, etc.
  • Ratios might indicate changes in patterns and
    help to assess future risk of the company in
    question

11
Usefulness of Ratios
  • Help compare different firms, and
  • Help compare the firm against its past
    performance
  • Standards against which to compare ratios
  • 1. The planned ratio for the period
  • 2. The corresponding ratio from a prior period
  • 3. The corresponding ratio for another firm in
    the same industry
  • 4. The average ratio for other firms in the same
    industry

12
Viewpoints taken
  • Managers
  • Responsible for day to day operations and and
    long-range performance
  • Responsible and accountable for efficiency,
    effective deployment of capital, human resource
    and other resource management
  • Owners
  • Interested in current and long-term returns on
    their investments
  • Expect growing earnings, dividends
  • Affected by how earnings are distributed and how
    their shares are valued in the market
  • Lenders and creditors
  • Concerned about liquidity and cash flow of the
    company
  • Interested in the degree of financial leverage
    employed
  • Others employees, government, society

13
Ratio Analysis
  • liquidity ratios
  • capital structure ratios
  • profitability ratios
  • market ratios

14
Short-term Liquidity Measures
  • current ratio
  • quick ratio or acid test
  • cash flow from operations to current liabilities
    ratio
  • working capital to assets ratio
  • working capital turnover
  • accounts receivable turnover
  • inventory turnover
  • accounts payable turnover

Capital Structure Ratios
  • show how the assets of a company are financed
    i.e. through debt or equity, and provide
    information about the long-term liquidity of a
    company
  • debt ratios
  • equity measures
  • cash flow from operations to total liabilities,
  • number of times interest charges are covered

24
Debt Ratios
  • provide information about the financial leverage
    of a company

long-term debt ratio(LTDR)
debt to equity
debt ratio
25
Equity Measures
  • assuming there are 25.000 shares outstanding at
    the end of 2003 and 2004, the book value per
    share is TL 2,94 (TL 73.620 / 25.000 shares) and
    TL 2,97 (TL 74.280 / 25.000shares) in 2003 and
    2004 respectively

26
cash flow from operations to total liabilities
  • shows how well a company generates cash from its
    operations to meet its investment needs and
    obligations to pay its short- and long-term debt

27
times interest earned
  • more important for the long-term creditors
  • shows how well the interest expense is covered by
    the earnings
  • indicates the relative protection of bondholders
    and assesses the probability of bankruptcy due to
    failure in meeting the payments

28
Profitability Ratios
  • These ratios show how well a company utilized its
    resources to generate revenues in a given period
  • Return-on-equity
  • Return-on-assets
  • Earnings per share
  • Profit margin

29
Return of Return
  • Indicates the return that accrues to common
    stockholders after the interest payments and
    dividends to preferred stockholders
  • measures the profitability of total resources
    available to the business
  • indicates the efficiency with which management
    used the total available resources to earn
    income

30
ROE and ROA example
31
Financial Leverage Effect
  • Shows whether borrowing was/is beneficial to the
    shareholders

Financial Leverage Effect ROE - ROA
32
earnings per share (EPS)
  • amount of earnings per common share after
    preferred stock dividends and reserves are
    deducted from net income
  • Weighted average number of common stock
    outstanding refers to the number of shares that
    were issued and outstanding during the year

assume Fegas AS had 20.000 shares outstanding
before issuing 5.000 new shares in 2003 and the
weighted average number of shares was 21.000 in
2003
33
Gross margin or gross profit ratio
  • indicates whether a company has generated enough
    profit from sales to cover its other expenses and
    also to provide an adequate return to the
    investors

34
Market Ratios
  • price earnings ratio
  • price to book ratio
  • dividend payout ratio

35
price earnings ratio (P/E ratio)
  • gives the number of times EPS that investors are
    willing to pay for one share of stock

36
price to book ratio (P/B ratio)
  • gives the expectations of the market regarding
    the returns on a specific stock

37
dividend payout ratio
  • measures the proportion of income paid out in
    dividends

Dividend Payout Ratio Dividends / Net Income
38
dividend yield
  • the ratio of annual dividends to the current
    market share price
  • usually mature companies tend to have higher
    yields than the growing or young companies

39
Uses and Interpretation of Ratio Analysis
  • Comparison of current year ratios with those of
    preceding years
  • Comparison of actual ratios with the budgeted or
    standard ratios developed by the company
  • Comparison of the ratios with those of the
    competitors
  • Comparison of ratios for the industry in which
    the company operates

40
Limitation of Ratio Analysis
  • Represent the average conditions and influenced
    by the accounting methods used
  • Based on historical data and do not reflect price
    level effects and real economic values
  • Changes in many ratios are strongly associated
    with each other and interrelationships
    among/between the ratios should be examined
  • During comparison of ratios over a period of time
    changes in operating conditions should be taken
    into consideration
  • During comparison between companies differences
    among the companies should be examined
  • Use audited financial statements to perform ratio
    analysis

Its the information that counts, not the
numbers? Right?
