Functional Aspects of Business Analyzed

• Liquidity Analysis – Assessment whether firm(s) have ability to satisfy

next period’s upcoming obligations – Ratios used:

• Current Ratio = CA/CL – Measurement as to extent the firm has sufficient current

resources exist to satisfy next period’s obligations. Presumes normal operating conditions

• Quick Asset Ratio (“Acid Test”) = (Cash-Like Assets)/CL – Eliminates Inventory, pre-paid expenses, Accruals, ets. – Focuses on “disaster planning” assessment

10

Operating Efficiency Analysis (contributes to liquidity)

• Accounts Receivable Turnover (ARTO) – Sales ÷ Accounts Receivable

• Day’s Sales Outstanding (DSO) – 365 ÷ ARTO

• Inventory Turnover (ITO) – CGS ÷ Inventory

• Day’s Supply Inventory (DSI) – 365 ÷ DSI

• Working Capital Turnover (WCTO) – Sales ÷ (CA – CL)

11

Operating Efficiency Analysis (continued)

• Cash to Cash Cycle (unlevered) = DSI + DSO

• What to look for: – Trends, outliers, industry structure and segmentation, hints and

indications of consistency with your assessment of KSF’s

• Presentation methods: – Provide both Tables and Graphs

12

Profitability Analysis

• Always ask: “Profitability with respect to what?”

• Operational profitability (how is the firm performing?) – Gross Profit Margin (how profitable is basic product?)

– Operating Profit Margin (profitability of daily ops)

– Net Profit Margin (profitability of overall business)

13

Profitability Analysis (Asset Returns)

• Measure any return in manner consistent with stock returns (Key)

– Return on Assets (ROA)t (Net Income)t ÷ (Total Assets)t-1

– Asset Turnover (ATO)t (ATO)t = (Sales)t ÷ (Total Assets)t-1

– DuPont Formula for ROA (ROA)t = (ATO)t × (Net Profit Margin)

14

Profitability Analysis (Equity Returns)

– Return on Equity (ROE)t (ROE)t = (Net Income)t ÷ (Total Book Value Equity)t-1

(ROE)t = (ROA)t × (1 + (Liabilities ÷ Book Equity)t-1)

15

Leverage and Capital Structure Risk

• Debt to Equity Ratio Total Liabilities ÷ Total Book Equity

• Times Interest Earned (TIE): TIE = EBIT ÷ Interest Expense

• Debt Service Margin (DSM)

(DSM)t = CFFOt ÷ (Current Maturities of Interest Bearing Obligations)t-1

Potential Growth Rate Analysis

• Internal Growth Rate (IGR)

(IGR) = (ROA) × (1 - (DPSt ÷ EPSt))

• Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) (SGR)t = (IGR)t × (1 + (Liabilitiest-1 ÷ BVEt-1))

Project 2 – Perform Financial Analysis

• For Project 2, your group will need to perform a Financial Analysis of your firm and use competitors as benchmarks – Prepare tables and graphs – Analyze as separate sections: Liquidity and Operating Efficiency;

Profitability; Capital Structure (Leverage); Growth Potential – Write-up must draw specific conclusions and overall

performance conclusion for sections and components. Discuss industry trends, segmentation, and your company’s relative performance.

– Where possible, link ratio analysis write-up back to Project 1 conclusions regarding industry classification and KSF’s
