Financial Ratios
In analysis of financial statements, ratios are most useful because they
help in comparing strengths, weaknesses and performance of companiesRatios express mathematically relationship between performance figuresand / or assets / liabilities in a form that can be easily understood and
interpreted.No single ratio tells complete story when various different ratios arecalculated and arranged, complete set of comparison emerges.
Five Broad types of Ratios :

Liquidity Ratios
Cornerstone of any investment. Liquidity or conversion to cash is crucial
for the company to meet obligations both for operations and on maturity of loans.
If liquidity is constrained, company may be forced to sell its assets or may
lead to liquidationIndicates ability of a company to meet its obligations in short run usuallya year
Liquidity Ratio Based on relationship between current assets ( sourcesof meeting short term obligations ) and current liabilities
Companies have become conscious of cost of capital, opportunity cost of tying up of capital unproductively as a result Just In Time inventory

Liquid Ratio
Also known as Acid Test / Quick Ratio
Liquid Ratio = ( Current Assets Inventories ) / Current LiabilitiesFairly stringent measure of liquidity
Used to measure company has enough cash or cash equivalents to paydebts. Inventories are excluded in computing liquid assets.
India norm 1:1
Cash Ratio Most liquid
Cash Ratio = ( Cash & Bank Balances + Current Investments ) / CL
Cash Ratio is overly stringent measure of liquidity. In real life situations,lack of immediate cash can be overlooked if company can release dues ,stretch payments or borrow money at short notice.

Net Current Assets
Net Current Assets = Gross Current Assets Current Liabilities
Not a ratio but helps to ascertain whether company has adequate currentassets to meet current liabilities
Net Current Assets is also known as Net working Capital
NCA used as a base to determine quantum of W/C required to supportcertain level of sales. A ratio of 20% would indicate if sales increase by20% , current assets would need to increase proportionately.
As a defensive strategy, management may want to know no of dayscompany may remain in business without additional financing / sales egworker strike situation. Example follows.
Current liabilities coverage ratio establishes relationship between cashinflow from operations and current liabilities to determine whether company can meet maturing obligations from internally generated funds.Important ratio in times of cash crunches. Example follows.

Marketable Securities 145180
Daily Operating Expenses 730 / 365 = 2 2
Defense interval would be 180 /2 = 90 90 days
This means that ITM Limited can remain in existence for 90 days without any sales

Net Current Assets Example
In 2009 ITM Limited had sales turnover of Rs 2000 lakhs and net current
assets were Rs 450 Lakhs after meeting its current obligations2009 2008
Current Assets
Receivables 310 280
Inventories 390 320
Total Current Assets 700 600
Creditors 220 190
Accrued Expenses 5 3
Tax Payable 25 7Other Current Liabilities 250 200
Net Current Assets 450 400
Net current Assets are Rs 450 L and sales
Rs 2000 L.
So net current assets to sales ratio
Is 0.5 ( 400+450) / 2000 x 100 = 21.25%
This means that working capital will have to
go up by 21.25% to support every rupee increase
In sales.
If sales were to go up by Rs 100 L,Net current assets would go up by Rs 21.25 L
This linear equation may not always hold true but
Gives a thumb rule.

Net Trade Cycle
It is important to determine time company takes to realize its sales
proceeds after paying for purchase of raw materialsA very useful tool for determining companys liquidity and is computed byas Debtors turnover (no of days) + stock turnover ( no of days) creditors
turnover ( no of days )Improvement ( reduction in no of days ) in this ratio signifies improvementin management of net current assets
Alternatively, ratio could improve if Creditors no of days go up indicatingun-ability of the company to suppliers in time.
Need to go beyond numbers to determine reasons for change in net tradecycle. Longer the trade cycle, greater need of financing and so cost.
Also individual components of cycle need to be studied to arrive at rightconclusions

Liquidity is becoming increasingly important for companies and lack of itcould make a company sick
If cash crunch happens, companies begin to postpone / delay paying bills.Supplier dues build up, supplies dry out. Impacts production then sales
and has snowballing effect.Negative liquidity ratio need not necessarily be bad. Strong companieskeep low current assets are able to get long credits / advances fromsuppliers. JIT inventory, low receivable and extended supply credit couldturn net working capital negative.
Checking quality of companys assets and ascertaining its currentrealizable value is crucial. Current Assets should not include deferredrevenue expenditures as it may not have realizable value.bobny ys aAua

Ratios do not provide answers. They suggest possibilities.
Interpreters must examine these possibilities along with general factorsthat would affect the company such as its Board, management style,government policies, state of economy and industry to arrive at a logical
conclusion.Ratios are tool for interpreting financial statements but their usefulnessdepends entirely on their logical and intelligent interpretation.
Ultimately, the market value of shares is what matters to an investor aswould purchase share if , in his perception, its price is low or reasonable
and has growth potential.If share is priced high, an investor would sell as the cardinal principle is buy cheap and sell dear
Ratios help investor to decide on holding period to recover investment.

In good times, companies make large profits if they are in high marginbusiness. Reverse occurs in times of recession. Interest charges eat intoprofits and often turns in to large losses.
Companies with no or moderate borrowings is safer and can be dependedupon both in good and adverse years.
Highly geared companies are risky and earnings can be negative in badyears. In good years financial results of leveraged companies can be verygood.

Company A is highly leveraged. Company B borrowed funds up to 20 % of its funding needs. Company C is debt free.
In good year Company A makes stupendous 170% before tax where asCompany C makes modest 50%
So long as earning rate exceeds cost of borrowing, highly leveragedcompany makes impressive profits.
In reasonable years, profits of leveraged companies is higher thancompanies that do not borrow. Earnings before tax of Company A is twicethat of Company C.
During recession, interest costs are comparatively high and profits getswiped out both on account of lower margin and interest burden. CompanyC makes highest profits as it has no borrowings.

Borrowings 480 400
Incremental Gearing ratio attempts to determine additional borrowingsrequired to finance growth. Ratio is calculated by dividing net increase in
debt by increase in net income after tax but before dividend.
Incremental gearing is : for every rupee used to finance growth, net incomeWould increase by Rs 75. ( 0.5 x (480 400) / ( 325 250) ) = 75
This is a very high dependence.
Interest Coverage
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
61/113
61
Determines whether companys profits are adequate to meet its interest
dues. If not, interest will have to be paid out of reserves, borrowings,fresh issue of capital
Times Interest earnings Earning Before Interest & Tax / Interest
EBIT is considered as numerator as the ability of a company to payinterest is not affected by tax payment as interest is tax deductible
Must exceed 1 and higher ratio better - can meet its commitmentLower ratio means financial embarrassment should profits decline
Ratio used by lenders to assess debt capacity major determinant inBond / Debt rating
Variant of this ratio could be cash flow before Interest and Taxes
Modified as ( EBIT + Depreciation ) / Interest
Interest Coverage Example

62
ITM Limited earned Rs 450 L before interest and tax during the year
ended March 31st
2009. Interest expense was Rs 200 LInterest Cover Ratio = 450 / 200 = 2.25 times
Companys earnings before interest are more than double its interestexpense. A comfortable situation.
Debt Service Coverage Ratio DSCR
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
63/113
63
Helps determine time taken by company to repay its short / long term
debt from its income or internally generated funds.Relevant if debt is not to be extinguished through sale of assets or byissue of fresh capital or debt.
Internally generated funds means income after tax + non cash expensessuch as depreciation and non operating income and expenses.
Debt would comprise of bank OD, term loans and debentures.PAT + Depreciation + Non cash items + Interest on TL + Lease RentalsInterest on term loans + Lease Rentals + Repayment of term loans
Financial Institutions consider DSCR of 1.5 - 2 as satisfactory
Ratio critical during high inflation and recession when company may find
it in difficult situation to meet this financial covenant to service debt

its profits
Liability Coverage Ratio with example
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
65/113
65
Liability Coverage ratio is an extension of debt coverage.
Used to check whether a company can repay all liabilities through internalgenerations.
Calculated by dividing internally generated funds by its average totalliabilities. Alternatively, ratio is calculated on balance sheet date instead of average as it is more relevant figure which will have to be repaid.
In year ended March 31st
2009, ITM Limited generated Rs 500 Linternally. Its total liabilities at the end of 2009 and 2008 were Rs 4500 Land Rs 3500 L respectively.
Liabilities coverage Ratio = 500 / ( 0.5 ( 3500+ 4500) = 0.25
This means that internally generated funds are only 25% of companysaverage liabilities. Entire debt can be repaid in 4 years.
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio I
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
66/113
66
Companies use leased funds as alternative means of financing
advantage is company is not required to borrow to acquire asset and alsolease rentals are deductible expense for tax purposes
This is known as Off Balance Sheet Financing as neither the real cost
of asset nor its liability is reflected in balance sheetFixed charge cover considers off balance sheet obligations such asrental expenses and assesses whether a company earns enough incometo meet its interest and rental commitments.
At times, it is argued that dividend payable on preference shares is to be
considered as it is fixed charge to be paid off.More comprehensive ratio as ikt considers all fixed expenses andexamines whether its earnings are sufficient to meet them
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio II
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
67/113
67
Times cash flow before Interest and taxes to cover all financial charges
( EBIT + Depreciation ) / Interest + ( Repayment of loans (1 tax rate) )In denominator, repayment of loans is adjusted upwards for tax factor because loan repayment amount unlike interest is not deductible
Measures debt servicing ability comprehensively because it considersboth interest and principal repayment obligations.
Ratio may be amplified to include other fixed charges like lease paymentand preference dividend

Cash flow surplus ratio is based on going concern concept. Assumes
company will incur capital expenditure and that there would be increase innet working capital
Companys ability to pay debt determined after providing for increase in
capital expenditure and net working capitalCash flow is net capital expenditure & increase in net working investment
Ratio calculated by dividing cash surplus by total debtMay be negative as the company grows rapidly it incurs capitalexpenditure and net working capital increases. This exceeds net fundsgenerated funded by loans and short term bank facilities.
Cash Flow Surplus Example

In 2009 , average debt of ITM Limited was Rs 400 L. Its internally generated
funds were Rs 40 L. Its net working investments had increased by Rs 10 Land it had incurred capital expenditure of Rs 20 L.
Cash Flow Surplus = ( 40 10 20 ) / 400
It would take company 40 years to repay its debts by utilizing cash flowsurplus
It also indicates need to borrow and extent of such borrowings

Receivable Turnover
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
78/113
78
Selling with trade credit is normal practice. Cost of finance is built intosales price. Cash discounts are offered for prompt payments
Receivable turnover = Times / rotation of turnover during the year
Turnover = Net Credit Sales / Average Receivables
Holding - Average Collection period = 365 / Receivable turnover
Compare average collection period with credit terms own / industry to judge efficiency of credit management
Higher collection is slow , loss of interest , warning of bad debts
Lower either efficiency is low or excessive conservatism requiring
resetting of credit termsRegulating receivables would enhance efficiency and reduce borrowings
saving interest cost.
Receivable Turnover / Average Collection Example
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
79/113
79
In 2009 , sales of ITM Limited grew by 15% from Rs 348 L to 400 L. Its
average trade receivables during 2008 and 2009 were Rs 49 L and Rs59 L respectively. Average collection period is calculated as follows :
2008 Average Sales = 348 / 365 = 0.95 L
Collection Period = 49 / 0.95 = 51 days
2009 Average Sales = 400 / 365 = 1.09 L
Collection period = 59 / 1.09 = 54 days
Period of collection increased by 3 days. Assuming normal credit periodof 30 days, it is clear that company is not in a position to collect in time.
Company is being forced to extend credit period and management isunable to exercise control on collections.
Average Payment Period / Supplier Outstanding
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
80/113

Average payment period ratio or Creditors ratio indicates time taken for
company to pay creditors.Supplier Payment period = Average Trade Creditors / Daily COGS
Helps answer following questions :
Whether the company is availing all credit it can ?
Whether company is having difficulty in procuring on credit terms ?
Is the company having difficulty in paying creditors on time ?
If the company is in strong and commanding position , it can obtain
longer credit terms.Longer credit period company can finance its working capitalefficiently and to that extent cost of funds fall.
Average Payment Period / Supplier Outstanding - Example
-
8/8/2019 investment banking 4
81/113
81
Average creditors of ITM Limited for 2009 and 2008 were Rs 34 L and Rs
29 L respectively. Its cost of goods sold was Rs 425 L and Rs 410 L.respectively.
Average payment period is calculated as follows :
2008 Average COGS = 410 / 365 = Rs 1.12 L.
Average payment period = 29 / 1.12 = 26 days
2009 Average COGS = 425 / 365 = Rs 1.16 L
Average payment period = 34 / 1.16 = 29 days
Average payment period in number of days has improved from 26 daysto 29 days. This indicates reduction in working capital investment andimprovement in efficiency of assets.

Extract from Annual Report although sales have increased by 24% inthe year under review, profits have fallen due to increase in cost of production causing margins to erode
Margins indicate earnings company makes on sales its markup on
cost of manufacture. Higher the margin higher is profit on unit sold.Level of margin determine success or failure of a business markup or margin is usually based on what market can bear principle.
Low volume businesses have high margins and vive versa.Margins help to determine cost structure of business high / low cost ,high / low volume. Company operating on low margins a small declinewould result in losses

Earning is a yardstick by which companies are finally judged.
EPS enables investor to quantify income earned by a share and todetermine whether it is reasonably priced.
EPS = PAT / Weighted average number of shares issued
Diluted earning per share represents EPS after considering effect of proposed issue and also outstanding ESOPs.
Investors value share as a multiple of earning say if EPS IS Rs 5 andyield of 10% considered reasonable share is priced at Rs 50.
ITM limited PAT is Rs 5 Lakhs. as on March 31 st 2009. Number of share200000. Fresh Shared issued 100000 in June 09.
EPS = 500000 / ( 200000 X 0.5) + ( 300000 X 0.5 ) = Rs 2.

It is argued that EPS is of value to those who determine policies of the
company and so, for common investor it is not a right measureIncome of investor is dividend value of shares should be multiple of dividend paid on that share
Investor return = Capital Appreciation and Dividend receiptIf 35% is overall expectation and capital appreciation is 30% high dividendwould be expected
If a share has a market value of Rs 40, and in past 3 years appreciated by25%. For an investor aiming yield of 30% , a dividend of 5% would beadequate. If company pays dividend of 15% its market value on the basisof dividend / share would be = Rs 1.5 ( Dividend ) / 5 ( return required) x100 = Rs 30. So the share is overpriced by Rs 10. ( 15% dividend on facevalue or 5% on market value )
