UNIT-12
Analyzing of Financial Reports
1. Introduction:
It is a standard practice for businesses to present financial statements that
adhere to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), to maintain
continuity of information and presentation across international borders. As well,
financial statements are often audited by government agencies, accountants,
firms, etc. to ensure accuracy and for tax, financing or investing purposes.
Financial statements are integral to ensuring accurate and honest accounting for
businesses and individuals alike.
Definition:
Financial statements are reports that show how income and expenses have
affected the company as a whole. They provide a snapshot of the current
financial standing of the business. There are many types of financial
reports, but the three basic, essential financial statements are:
1
1 .Balance Sheet: Summarizes the assets, liabilities, and net worth (owners‘
equity) of a business on a particular date.
2.Income Statement: (Also called Profit and Loss Statement.) An accounting
statement that shows the profit or loss for a business, by subtracting costs
from its earnings, over a specific period of time, typically for a quarter or year.
3. Cash Flow Statement: An accounting statement that forecasts cash receipts
and disbursements for a specified period.
A fourth financial statement commonly produced is the Statement of Retained
Earnings.

Financial analysis is a process of selecting, evaluating, and interpreting
financial data, along with other pertinent information, in order to formulate an
assessment of a company’s present and future financial condition and
performance.

COMMON-SIZE ANALYSIS
Common-size analysis is the restatement of financial statement information in
a standardized form.
- Horizontal common-size analysis uses the amounts in accounts in a
specified year as the base, and subsequent years’ amounts are stated as a
percentage of the base value.
- Useful when comparing growth of different accounts over time.
- Vertical common-size analysis uses the aggregate value in a financial
statement for a given year as the base, and each account’s amount is
restated as a percentage of the aggregate.
- Balance sheet: Aggregate amount is total assets.
- Income statement: Aggregate amount is revenues or sales.

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS
• Financial ratio analysis is the use of relationships among financial statement
accounts to gauge the financial condition and performance of a company.
• We can classify ratios based on the type of information the ratio provides:
Activity Ratios
Liquidity Ratios
Effectiveness
in putting its
asset
investment to
use.
Ability to meet
short-term,
immediate
obligations.
Solvency
Ratios
Profitability
Ratios
Ability to
satisfy debt
obligations.
Ability to
manage
expenses to
produce profits
from sales.
8
ACTIVITY RATIOS
• Turnover ratios reflect the number of times assets flow into and out of the
company during the period.
• A turnover is a gauge of the efficiency of putting assets to work.
• Ratios:
Inventory turnover =
Cost of goods sold
Average inventory
Receivables turnover =
Total asset turnover =
Total revenue
Average receivables
Total revenue
Average total assets
Working capital turnover =
Total revenue
Average working capital
How many times inventory is
created and sold during the
period.
How many times accounts
receivable are created and
collected during the period.
The extent to which total
assets create revenues during
the period.
The efficiency of putting
working capital to work
9
OPERATING CYCLE COMPONENTS
• The operating cycle is the length of time from when a company makes an
investment in goods and services to the time it collects cash from its accounts
receivable.
• The net operating cycle is the length of time from when a company makes an
investment in goods and services, considering the company makes some of its
purchases on credit, to the time it collects cash from its accounts receivable.
• The length of the operating cycle and net operating cycle provides information
on the company’s need for liquidity: The longer the operating cycle, the greater
the need for liquidity.

• Liquidity is the ability to satisfy the company’s short-term obligations using
assets that can be most readily converted into cash.
• Liquidity ratios:

Ability to satisfy current

cash equivalents.

SOLVENCY ANALYSIS
• A company’s business risk is
determined, in large part, from the
company’s line of business.
• Financial risk is the risk resulting from
a company’s choice of how to finance
the business using debt or equity.
• We use solvency ratios to assess a
company’s financial risk.
• There are two types of solvency ratios:
component percentages and coverage
ratios.
- Component percentages involve
comparing the elements in the
capital structure.
- Coverage ratios measure the ability
to meet interest and other fixed
financing costs.

PROFITABILITY
• Margins and return ratios provide information on the profitability of a company
and the efficiency of the company.
• A margin is a portion of revenues that is a profit.
• A return is a comparison of a profit with the investment necessary to generate
the profit.
16
PROFITABILITY RATIOS: MARGINS
Each margin ratio compares a measure of income with total revenues:
Gross profit margin =

Operating profit margin =

Net profit margin =

PROFITABILITY RATIOS: RETURNS
Return ratios compare a measure of profit with the investment that produces the profit:
Operating return on assets =

Average interest−bearing debt + Average total equity

Return on Equity
• The DuPont formula uses the
relationship among financial statement
accounts to decompose a return into

components.

• Three-factor DuPont for the return on
equity:
- Total asset turnover
Operating Profit
- Financial leverage

- Net profit margin

OTHER RATIOS
• Earnings per share is net income, restated on a per share basis:
Earnings per share =
Net income available to common shareholders
Number of common shares outstanding
• Basic earnings per share is net income after preferred dividends, divided by
the average number of common shares outstanding.
• Diluted earnings per share is net income minus preferred dividends, divided
by the number of shares outstanding considering all dilutive securities.
• Book value per share is book value of equity divided by number of shares.
• Price-to-earnings ratio (PE or P/E) is the ratio of the price per share of equity
to the earnings per share.
- If earnings are the last four quarters, it is the trailing P/E.
23
OTHER RATIOS
Measures of Dividend Payment:
Dividends paid to shareholders
Dividends per
=
share (DPS)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
Dividend payout ratio =
Dividends paid to common shareholders
Net income attributable to common shares
Plowback ratio = 1 – Dividend payout ratio
- The proportion of earnings retained by the company.

EXAMPLE: SHAREHOLDER RATIOS
Calculate the book value per share, P/E, dividends per share,
dividend payout, and plowback ratio based on the following
financial information:

Dividends
SR12 million
Number of shares

EXAMPLE: SHAREHOLDER RATIOS
Book value per share
$1.00 There is $1 of equity, per the books, for
every share of stock.
P/E
16.67 The market price of the stock is 16.67
times earnings per share.
Dividends per share
$0.12 The dividends paid per share of stock.
Dividend payout ratio
40% The proportion of earnings paid out in the
form of dividends.
Plowback ratio
60% The proportion of earnings retained by the
company.
26
EFFECTIVE USE OF RATIO ANALYSIS
• In addition to ratios, an analyst should describe the company (e.g., line of
business, major products, major suppliers), industry information, and major
factors or influences.
• Effective use of ratios requires looking at ratios
- Over time.
- Compared with other companies in the same line of business.
- In the context of major events in the company (for example, mergers or
divestitures), accounting changes, and changes in the company’s product
mix.

• Financial report is a set of documents prepared usually
by government agencies at the end of an accounting period. It generally
contains summary of accounting data for that period, with
background notes, forms, and other information.
Financial ratio analysis and common-size analysis help gauge the financial
performance and condition of a company through an examination of
relationships among these many financial items.
• A thorough financial analysis of a company requires examining its efficiency in
putting its assets to work, its liquidity position, its solvency, and its profitability.
• We can use the tools of common-size analysis and financial ratio analysis,
including the DuPont model, to help understand where a company has been.
• We then use relationships among financial statement accounts in pro forma
analysis, forecasting the company’s income statements and balance sheets for
future periods, to see how the company’s performance is likely to evolve.
