Standardized Financial Statements

• Common-Size Balance Sheets

– Compute all accounts as a percent of total assets

• Common-Size Income Statements

– Compute all line items as a percent of sales

• Standardized statements make it easier to compare financial information, particularly as the company grows

• They are also useful for comparing companies of different sizes, particularly within the same industry

3.9

Ratio Analysis

• Ratios also allow for better comparison through time or between companies

• As we look at each ratio, ask yourself what the ratio is trying to measure and why is that information important

• Ratios are used both internally and externally

3.10

Categories of Financial Ratios

• Short-term solvency or liquidity ratios

• Long-term solvency or financial leverage ratios

• Asset management or turnover ratios

• Profitability ratios

• Market value ratios

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2003 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

3.11

Computing Liquidity Ratios

• Current Ratio = CA / CL

– 1,801,690 / 1,780,785 = 1.01 times

• Quick Ratio = (CA – Inventory) / CL

– (1,801,690 – 388,947) / 1,780,785 = .793 times

• Cash Ratio = Cash / CL

– 3,171 / 1,780,785 = .002 times

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2003 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

3.12

Computing Long-term Solvency Ratios

• Total Debt Ratio = (TA – TE) / TA

– (4,931,444 – 1,761,044) / 4,931,444 = .6429 times or 64.29%

– The firm finances a little over 64% of its assets with debt.

• Debt/Equity = TD / TE

– (4,931,444 – 1,761,044) / 1, 761,044 = 1.800 times

• Equity Multiplier = TA / TE = 1 + D/E

– 1 + 1.800 = 2.800

3.13

Computing Coverage Ratios

• Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Interest

– 820,183 / 52,841 = 15.5 times

• Cash Coverage = (EBIT + Depreciation) /

Interest

– (820,183 + 362,325) / 52,841 = 22.38 times

3.14

Computing Inventory Ratios

• Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold /

Inventory

– 1,762,721 / 388,947 = 4.53 times

• Days’ Sales in Inventory = 365 / Inventory

Turnover

– 365 / 4.53 = 81 days

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2003 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

3.15

Computing Receivables Ratios

• Receivables Turnover = Sales / Accounts

Receivable

– 4,335,491 / 1,095,118 = 3.96 times

• Days’ Sales in Receivables = 365 /

Receivables Turnover

– 365 / 3.96 = 92 days

3.16

Computing Total Asset Turnover

• Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

– 4,335,491 / 4,931,444 = .88 times

• Measure of asset use efficiency

• Not unusual for TAT < 1, especially if a firm has a large amount of fixed assets

3.17

Computing Profitability Measures

• Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales

– 471,916 / 4,335,491 = .1088 times or 10.88%

• Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total

Assets

– 471,916 / 4,931,444 = . 0957 times or 9.57%

• Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income / Total

Equity

– 471,916 / 1,761,044 = .2680 times or 26.8%

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2003 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

3.18

Computing Market Value Measures

• Market Price = $60.98 per share

• Shares outstanding = 205,838,910

• PE Ratio = Price per share / Earnings per share

– 60.98 / 2.41 = 25.3 times

• Market-to-book ratio = market value per share

/ book value per share

– 60.98 / (1,761,044,000 / 205,838,910) = 7.1 times

3.19

Deriving the Du Pont Identity

• ROE = NI / TE

• Multiply by 1 and then rearrange

– ROE = (NI / TE) (TA / TA)

– ROE = (NI / TA) (TA / TE) = ROA * EM

• Multiply by 1 again and then rearrange

– ROE = (NI / TA) (TA / TE) (Sales / Sales)

– ROE = (NI / Sales) (Sales / TA) (TA / TE)

– ROE = PM * TAT * EM

3.20

Using the Du Pont Identity

• ROE = PM * TAT * EM

– Profit margin is a measure of the firm’s operating efficiency – how well does it control costs

– Total asset turnover is a measure of the firm’s asset use efficiency – how well does it manage its assets

– Equity multiplier is a measure of the firm’s financial leverage

3.21

Why Evaluate Financial Statements?

• Internal uses

– Performance evaluation – compensation and comparison between divisions

– Planning for the future – guide in estimating future cash flows

• External uses

– Creditors

– Suppliers

– Customers

– Stockholders

3.22

Benchmarking

• Ratios are not very helpful by themselves; they need to be compared to something

• Time-Trend Analysis

– Used to see how the firm’s performance is changing through time

– Internal and external uses

• Peer Group Analysis

– Compare to similar companies or within industries

– SIC and NAICS codes

• Finding Information on the Web:

Real World Example - I

• International Business Machines Corp.

Industry averages in parenthesis.

• Liquidity ratios

– Current ratio = 1.2 (1.4)

– Quick ratio = 1.0 (1.0)

• Long-term solvency ratio

– Debt/Equity ratio (Debt / Worth) = 0.50 (0.32)

• Coverage ratio

– Times Interest Earned =88.6 (51.5).

3.25

Potential Problems

• There is no underlying theory, so there is no way to know which ratios are most relevant

• Benchmarking is difficult for diversified firms

• Globalization and international competition makes comparison more difficult because of differences in accounting regulations

• Varying accounting procedures, i.e. FIFO vs.

LIFO

• Different fiscal years

• Extraordinary events
