Financial Analysis

Financial Overview for Walt Disney and its nearest competitor Time Warner for Year 2010

Page 25: Walt Disney - Strategy Analysis

Financial Analysis

The current ratio measures the company’s ability to pay its short-term obligations. The ratio is mostly used to give an idea of how well a company can pay back its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. The Walt Disney Company current ratio of 1.11 is greater than 1, which means their assets can cover their liabilities. However, the Walt Disney Company is below both the Industry and its competitor, Time Warner Inc.

The quick ratio (acid test ratio) measures a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. The Walt Disney Company quick ratio is 1.01 versus Time Warner’s 1.28. This shows that Disney actually holds less inventory than Time Warner (9% versus 13%), and Disney’s quick ratio is actually less than the industry average as well.

Liquidity Ratios The Walt Disney Company Time Warner Inc. Industry Current Ratio 1.11 1.48 1.41 Quick Ratio 1.01 1.28 1.20

Strategic Challenges

Lack of coordination among businesses (Overlap began to emerge)

Lack of corporate synergy

Lack of creativity

Poor brand management

Diversification in different SBU’s

Allocation of resources to different SBU’s

Page 28: Walt Disney - Strategy Analysis

Future Recommendations Expand in Persian Gulf Countries which can be a lucrative market given their growing popularity as tourist hub

Since they are already into Animation they could also get into E-Learning, which would be the next big thing

They can start training institute to train world class animators

Disney loses huge chunk of revenue to piracy, they need to come up with something radical to curb piracy, like Apple did with iTunes
