Nestle3s capital structure is mainl& e@uit& dri2en! Thus in comparison 1ith the (competitors, Nestle India has the least ebtE@uit& ratio o2er the past * &ears,indicating more ;nancial stabilit& compared to its peers! Thus 1e can interpret thatNestle has a better sol2enc&!

-er'orming li@uidit& anal&sis, 1e see that in (0$$ Nestle has the highest Current ratio0!// but the ho1e2er, @uic4 ratio is the least 0!"/ compared to its peers!Although current ratio is the measure o' companies abilit& to repa& short.termliabilities using its current assets, this measure can o'ten be misleading as currentassets also includes in2entories! Thus 1e can see that Nestle3s li@uidit& position in(0$$ 1as poor compared to peers! o1e2er 'rom (0$" to (0$*, Nestlé had higher

current ratio and @uic4 ratio 1hich implies that o2er the &ears Nestlé has impro2edon their in2entor& management! Another interesting obser2ation is that although in(0$*, Nestle 1itnessed the Maggi ban issue, the& 1ere able to maintain theirli@uidit& position compared to the peers!

Coming to pro;tabilit& ratios, 1e see that Nestle India has maintained an almostconstant gross pro;t margin o' abo2e *0:, 1hich is ideal! It is also much abo2e thepro;t margin o' its peers! o1e2er, its operating pro;t margin has decreased o2erthe &ears sho1ing decrease in operating ePcienc& e2en though sales ha2e beenincreasing! o1e2er, still it is com'ortabl& abo2e its competitors!

The e@uit& o' Nestle has increased much more than its income resulting in the 'all o' RE! Thisindicates that the& are losing their competiti2e edge!

 The a2erage pa&able da&s ha2e increased 'rom (" to "" da&s &et it is much betterthan its peers! Since, the 'ood processing industr& is mainl& cash based, the a2eragecollection period is less than # da&s, comparable to the peers!
