Financial Ratio Analysis
How can published financial
statements be used to assess
financial performance?
Financial Ratio Types
• Market Value
• Profitability
• Asset Activity
• Leverage
• Liquidity
Market Value Ratios
• Examples: Marketto-Book; PriceEarnings
• Questions: How do
securities markets
value the company’s
assets? Earnings?
Profitability Ratios
• Examples: Return on
assets, equity, invested
capital; gross, net profit
margin
• Questions: How profitable
is the company per dollar
invested in the business;
per dollar of sales?
Asset Activity Ratios
• Examples: asset turnover,
average collection period,
inventory conversion period,
payables deferral period
• Questions: How efficiently
does the company use its
assets? How long does it take
assets or liabilities to turn into
cash?
Leverage Ratios
• Examples: Debt/assets;
Debt/equity; Interest
coverage
• Questions: How much of
a burden does debt pose
relative to assets, equity
or cash flow? How risky
is the company?
Liquidity Ratios
• Examples: Current ratio,
quick ratio, interval
measure
• Questions: How easily
can the company meet its
immediate cash
requirements? How risky
is the company?
Financial Ratios Relative to What?
• By themselves, financial ratios have no
meaning. We need to compare to:
– Past data for the same company
– Data for similar companies (e.g., same
industry)
– Other ratios (i.e., DuPont ratios, Cash
Conversion Cycle)
