Executive summary

Every countries economic condition depends upon the performance of its Industry. How the

investors are interested in it as it will help in the increment in the flow of foreign exchange. A

sound and well performing industry will always attract investors as it will give them a return in a

less time period. But it is not easy for a layman to understand or to properly analyze the

performance of the company.

To understand the performance of any company we have to do financial statement analysis.

Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use of

ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as

its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio

refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables.

Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by providing necessary data. An inter firm

comparison indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for the comparison of the

performance of different departments. If comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of

variations may be identified and if results are negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring

them in line.

In my study I have tried to make out a clear picture of Andritz Hydro PVT ltd.

Performance in the turbine industry with the help of Ratio analysis. While doing my

interpretation through Ratio analysis I have focused on 5 main areas:

1. Liquidity

2. Investment/shareholder

3. Gearing

4. Profitability

5. Financial

With the help of ratio analysis we measures relationship between resources and financial flows.

It show ways in which firm‘s situation deviates from

Its own past.

Other firm‘s

The industry

All firms…

There are some other tools through which the investors try to bring out the clear picture of the

company so that the investor can easily understand that on which company they should invest

their money and the tools are:

1. Cash flow statement

2. Comparative income statement

3. Fund flow statement

PREFACE

As a new paradigm based on proper integration of formal teaching and actual practice, this

Summer Training has been introduced under the Degree of Master of Business Administration

(M.B.A) to get a feel of actual Business Environment.

To bridge the gap between theory & practice and to cultivate proper temperament and generate

much needed morale i.e. to help the students to identify their strong and weak points in the

following and appreciating various organizational activities. So that appropriate measures can be

taken at an earliest time.

Finance is the heart of any organization. Proper utilization of financial resources is necessary for

any organization to survive. With the purpose of getting myself well dressed with the atmosphere

of Prevailing industry, I went for eight week training at ―ANDRITZ HYDRO PVT LTD‖.

This report presents the workings, findings and recommendations from the study of Ratio

Analysis at ANDRITZ HYDRO PVT LTD. It gives the better understanding of the financial

position of ANDRITZ HYDRO PVT LTD.

Finally I shall consider my hard work worthwhile if this endeavor is able to satisfy all those

concerned and proves useful to anyone or for any further study in future.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Introduction

Financial Management is the specific area of finance dealing with the financial decision

corporations make, and the tools and analysis used to make the decisions. The discipline as a

whole may be divided between long-term and short-term decisions and techniques. Both share

the same goal of enhancing firm value by ensuring that return on capital exceeds cost of capital,

without taking excessive financial risks.

Capital investment decisions comprise the long-term choices about which projects receive

investment, whether to finance that investment with equity or debt, and when or whether to pay

dividends to shareholders.

Short-term corporate finance decisions are called working capital management and deal with

balance of current assets and current liabilities by managing cash, inventories, and short-term

borrowings and lending (e.g., the credit terms extended to customers).

Corporate finance is closely related to managerial finance, which is slightly broader in scope,

describing the financial techniques available to all forms of business enterprise, corporate or not.

Role of Financial Managers:

The role of a financial manager can be discussed under the following heads:

1. Nature of work

2. Working conditions

3. Employment

4. Training, Other qualifications and Advancement

5. Job outlook

6. Related occupations

Let us discuss each of these in a detailed manner.

1. Nature of work

Almost every firm, government agency and organization has one or more financial managers

who oversee the preparation of financial reports, direct investment activities, and implement cash

management strategies. As computers are increasingly used to record and organize data, many

financial managers are spending more time developing strategies and implementing the long-

term goals of their organization.

The duties of financial managers vary with their specific titles, which include controller,

treasurer or finance officer, credit manager, cash manager, and risk and insurance manager.

Controllers direct the preparation of financial reports that summarize and forecast the

organization‘s financial position, such as income statements, balance sheets, and analyses of

future earnings or expenses. Regulatory authorities also in charge of preparing special reports

require controllers. Often, controllers oversee the accounting, audit, and budget departments.

Treasurers and finance officers direct the organization‘s financial goals, objectives, and

budgets. They oversee the investment of funds and manage associated risks, supervise cash

management activities, execute capital-raising strategies to support a firm‘s expansion, and deal

with mergers and acquisitions. Credit managers oversee the firm‘s issuance of credit. They

establish credit-rating criteria, determine credit ceilings, and monitor the collections of past-due

accounts. Managers specializing in international finance develop financial and accounting

systems for the banking transactions of multinational organizations.

Cash managers monitor and control the flow of cash receipts and disbursements to meet the

business and investment needs of the firm.

For example, cash flow projections are needed to determine whether loans must be obtained to

meet cash requirements or whether surplus cash should be invested in interest-bearing

instruments.

Risk and insurance managers oversee programs to minimize risks and losses that might arise

from financial transactions and business operations undertaken by the institution.

They also manage the organization‘s insurance budget.

Financial institutions, such as commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions,

and mortgage and finance companies, employ additional financial managers who oversee various

functions, such as lending, trusts, mortgages, and investments, or programs, including sales,

operations, or electronic financial services. These managers may be required to solicit business,

authorize loans, and direct the investment of funds, always adhering to State laws and

regulations.

Branch managers of financial institutions administer and manage all of the functions of a branch

office, which may include hiring personnel, approving loans and lines of credit, establishing a

rapport with the community to attract business, and assisting customers with account problems.

Financial managers who work for financial institutions must keep abreast of the rapidly growing

array of financial services and products.

In addition to the general duties described above, all financial managers perform tasks unique to

their organization or industry. For example, government financial managers must be experts on

the government appropriations and budgeting processes, whereas healthcare financial managers

must be knowledgeable about issues surrounding healthcare financing. Moreover, financial

managers must be aware of special tax laws and regulations that affect their industry.

Financial managers play an increasingly important role in mergers and consolidations and in

global expansion and related financing.

These areas require extensive, specialized knowledge on the part of the financial manager to

reduce risks and maximize profit. Financial managers increasingly are hired on a temporary basis

to advise senior managers on these and other matters. In fact, some small firms contract out all

accounting and financial functions to companies that provide these services.

The role of the financial manager, particularly in business, is changing in response to

technological advances that have significantly reduced the amount of time it takes to produce

financial reports. Financial managers now perform more data analysis and use it to offer senior

managers ideas on how to maximize profits. They often work on teams, acting as business

advisors to top management. Financial managers need to keep abreast of the latest computer

technology in order to increase the efficiency of their firm‘s financial operations.

2. Working conditions

Financial managers work in comfortable offices, often close to top managers and to departments

that develop the financial data these managers need. They typically have direct access to state-of-

the-art computer systems and information services. Financial managers commonly work long

hours, often up to 50 or 60 per week. They generally are required to attend meetings of financial

and economic associations and may travel to visit subsidiary firms or to meet customer

3. Employment

While the vast majority is employed in private industry, nearly 1 in 10 works for the different

branches of government. In addition, although they can be found in every industry,

approximately 1 out of 4 are employed by insurance and finance establishments, such as banks,

savings institutions, finance companies, credit unions, and securities dealers.

4. Training, Other qualifications and Advancement

A bachelor‘s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or business administration is the

minimum academic preparation for financial managers. However, many employers now seek

graduates with a master‘s degree, preferably in business administration, economics, finance, or

risk management. These academic programs develop analytical skills and provide knowledge of

the latest financial analysis methods and technology.

Experience may be more important than formal education for some financial manager

positions—notably, branch managers in banks.

Firms often provide opportunities for workers to broaden their knowledge and skills by

encouraging employees to take graduate courses at colleges and universities or attend

conferences related to their specialty. Financial management, banking, and credit union

associations, often in cooperation with colleges and universities, sponsor numerous national and

local training programs. Persons enrolled prepare extensively at home and then attend sessions

on subjects such as accounting management, budget management, corporate cash management,

financial analysis, international banking, and information systems. Many firms pay all or part of

the costs for employees who successfully complete courses. Although experience, ability, and

leadership are emphasized for promotion, this type of special study may accelerate advancement.

In some cases, financial managers also may broaden their skills and exhibit their competency by

attaining professional certification. There are many different associations that offer professional

certification programs.

Financial managers should be creative thinkers and problem solvers applying their analytical

skills to business. They must be comfortable with the latest computer technology. As financial

operations increasingly are affected by the global economy, financial managers must have

knowledge of international finance. Proficiency in a foreign language also may be important.

Because financial management is critical for efficient business operations, well-trained,

experienced financial managers who display a strong grasp of the operations of various

departments within their organization are prime candidates for promotion to top management

positions. Some financial managers transfer to closely related positions in other industries. Those

with extensive experience and access to sufficient capital may start their own consulting firms.

5. Job outlook

Some companies may hire financial managers on a temporary basis, to see the organization

through a short-term crisis or to offer suggestions for boosting profits. Other companies may

contract out all accounting and financial operations. Even in these cases, however, financial

managers may be needed to oversee the contracts.

Computer technology has reduced the time and staff required to produce financial reports. As a

result, forecasting earnings, profits, and costs, and generating ideas and creative ways to increase

profitability will become a major role of corporate financial managers over the next decade.

Financial managers who are familiar with computer software that can assist them in this role will

be needed.

6. Related occupations

Financial managers combine formal education with experience in one or more areas of finance,

such as asset management, lending, credit operations, securities investment, or insurance risk and

loss control. Workers in other occupations requiring similar training and skills include

accountants and auditors; budget analysts; financial analysts and personal financial advisors;

insurance underwriters; loan counselors and officers; securities, commodities, and financial

services sales agents; and real estate brokers and sales agents.

NEED FOR THE STUDY

The study has great significance and provides benefits to various parties whom directly or

indirectly interact with the company.

It is beneficial to management of the company by providing crystal clear picture

regarding important aspects like liquidity, leverage, activity and profitability.

The study is also beneficial to employees and offers motivation by showing how actively

they are contributing for company‘s growth.

Review

PROJECT: AN OVERVIEW

Managerial persons have vital role in this new management era. Industry's growth is depend

upon these managerial personnel‘s because the production field is depend upon these

personnel‘s. This industrial training project gives the pre idea about planning of the industries

and deals with various field of industry. By this project persons get the opportunity to face the

problems that will come ahead in his path. Before making the project planning of requirement is

necessary, by this we can improve our quality of estimation. After planning, execution,

completion and evaluation are the future process of the project. In general words ―Project is

scheme of work to be completed within stimulated time by an adequate man & machine‖

complete or proper information can be grasp by trainee on the pre - assigned project's subject.

Meaning of PROJECT: - The work project has generate significance role in the field of

management. It is essentially required for management work as detailed scene in order to give

the practical form of work as indicated. Before starting the project, we should fully aware about

the meaning of project. It's each word or letter has it own meaning.

P : Planning :- In planning stage all the aspect has regards to types of work to be carried out is

taken into consideration estimate with full details of requirement cost and probable activity of the

project is prepared.

R: Resources: - These are guided to promote the function of a plan from which the way problem

will be solved and the matter will be select.

O: Organization: - It is way of performing different type of works in a systematic way of

procedure.

J: Joint efforts: - The work which has been planned is done by the help of co - operation of

labor. It means that the effort of jointing to all these procedures which come in the work is

known as joint effort.

E: Execution / Engineering junction: - As per estimate man and material are arranged and

work is organized according to the time schedule.

A well educated engineer which is related, to do this working better way to find out the better

result. Hence the project is an engineering junction.

C: Construction: - Each of the activity in accordance with the plan is completed. When all the

activity is completed, the project as whole is considered to be completed.

OR

Co-operation:- This tells about the phenomenon of construction which is the most essential for

doing the work.

T: Technique: - The technique of working with due to co-operation of working project and then

controlled the body.

The general form of conclusion, the project is a systematic consideration discussed and proposed

on a particular subject.

As the matter of fact project is the work which used for construction purpose before work

planned and performed. In general form of conclusion, the project is systematic and

consideration subject.

In my project topic ―ratio analysis‖ various research has been held

The reviews of these researches are as follows: -

1. Academon 2006 has analyzed in his article ratio Analysis is an early warning indicator

that enables the business owner and manager to spot trends in a business and to compare

its performance and condition with the average performance of similar businesses in the

same industry. The author relates that Ratio Analysis is done by comparing the specific

company's ratios with the average of similar businesses and comparing the business's

own ratios for several successive years, watching especially for any unfavorable trends

that may be starting. The paper states that the current ratio measures the ability of the

firm to pay is current bills, while still allowing for a safety margin above the required

amount needed to pay current obligations.

2. Academon 2006 has focuses on two large retailers in the area of retail home

improvements, Lowes and Home Depot, and compares and contrasts their financial

ratios in a five-year trend table along with the most recent industry averages. The

information presented in this report can be used to help determine the over-all financial

status of these two companies. Financial Ratios Used Home Depot Lowes Efficiency

Ratio Analysis Liquidity Ratio Analysis Leverage Analysis Profitability Analysis.

3. Firth, Michael, Mear, Ross1986 has analysed in his research the results of an

investigation into the financial structure of accounting variables and ratios of New

Zealand listed firms. Seven major factors were identified and these accounted for more

than 82 percent of the information contained in a set of forty-four variables. These factors

are labeled profitability, size, activity, solvency, liquidity, growth in size and, growth in

profits-profitability. Although the first five factors have also been identified as separate

corporate dimensions in studies conducted in the United States and elsewhere, variables

representing growth have not been examined before. Our study suggests that the growth

variables represent two distinct and significant factors.

4. D.G., Hamilton, R.T. Ferner,1987 has analyzed in his study is Multiple discriminant

analysis is applied to financial ratios of New Zealand listed companies and a model

developed which exhibits better classification ability than other New Zealand-based

models. The predictive ability of the New Zealand model is tested on a hold-out sample

of listed companies and performs reasonably well for predictions close to the point of

failure.

5. Singh, Ramadhar 1996 has analyzed in his study the Group and individual decisions on

what is fair allocation differ. Group analyses favored the ratio model, while the majority

of the individuals favored the more accurate subtractive model. The discrepancy may be

due to the differences in the models per se, or in the number of observations which affect

statistical power of the tests used. Culture and age also inform decision making

discrepancies at both group and individual levels. These results show the need for an

alternative approach to predict decision making strategies regarding allocations and the

role of the individual allocator.

6. Mills, Roger 1993 has analyzed in his study the extent to which financial ratio covenants

are used and lenders' reactions to covenant violations and potential violations were

surveyed among 50 UK banks. The survey showed that at least two-thirds of loans

exceeding one billion pounds sterling were covered by financial ratio covenants. High

cost penalties such as immediate loan repayment or conversion to an on-demand loan

were imposed on borrowers that violate these covenants. Other lenders renegotiate the

contracts with temporary waiver of the breach if the borrower constantly communicates

with the bank. Contract renegotiations may involve helping secure the lender's position or

ensuring retention of funds within the company by dividend capital spending restrictions.

The study also showed that disclosed voluntary accounting policy changes to produce

favorable financial statements were not acted on by the lenders in 60% of cases.

7. Cheng F., Wu, Chunchi 1988 has analyzed is offered of financial ratio adjustment

processes when there is expensive adjustment and uncertainty about information. A

generalized partial adjustment-adaptive expectations model is proposed. The model is

designed to characterize financial adjustment processes that are dynamic. The model

incorporates the endurance of industry averages changes into the financial ratio

adjustment process. The Gauss-Newton non-linear regression technique is employed to

estimate the generalized model's structural boundaries. Results indicate that target ratio

adjustment is not instantaneous. Results also suggest that differences exist in companies'

ratio adjustment patterns in different industries of different sizes.

8. Taffler, R.J., Sudarsanam, P.S. 1995 has analyzed in his study of 500 firms belonging

to six different industries in the UK was undertaken to find out the effectiveness of the

use of financial ratio analysis in achieving its desired results. This financial tool was

designed to control firm size, a condition that could be satisfied if the ratio's numerator

and denominator are proportional. Empirical results gained from this study, however,

indicate that no such proportionality has been observed, a fact that should warn users of

ratio analysis to exercise caution in the derivation of their conclusions.

9. Healey, Nigel 1997 has analyzed in his study those Companies are listed on the UK stock

market have to issue financial reports from which a number of ratios can be calculated.

Performance ratios include return on capital employed, and stock turnover. Liquidity

ratios relate to cash flow, while financing ratios relate to gearing. Financial ratio analysis

can be misleading on its own. Performance ratios vary from one industry to another. The

value of a brand may be included in a balance sheet. The methods that companies use to

compile their accounting data are important for successful financial analysis.

10. Timo Salmi and Teppo Martikainen (1994), has analyzed in this paper provides a

critical review of the theoretical and empirical basis of four central areas of financial ratio

analysis. The research areas reviewed are the functional form of the financial ratios,

distributional characteristics of financial ratios, classification of financial ratios, and the

estimation of the internal rate of return from financial statements. It is observed that it is

typical of financial ratio analysis research that there are several unexpectedly distinct

lines with research traditions of their own. A common feature of all the areas of financial

ratio analysis research seems to be that while significant regularities can be observed,

they are not necessarily stable across the different ratios, industries, and time periods.

This leaves much space for the development of a more robust theoretical basis and for

further empirical research.

applications (drinking water supply, etc.).

The Hydro Power business area was renamed ANDRITZ HYDRO as of January 1, 2009

Recent trends of the company

Market development

During the first quarter of 2010, project activity for hydropower plant equipment remained high

in the main markets served by ANDRITZ. As a result of the high average age of hydropower

plants in Europe and North America, there are a number of projects for modernization,

rehabilitation, and capacity increases at existing plants. In Europe, the rising demand for peak

electricity as well as the capacity increases in wind energy has led to additional investments in

pumped storage power stations in order to secure stability of the European electric grid.

In South America and Asia (especially in India), there are many new hydropower projects in the

development and realization phase in order to meet the rising demand for energy in these rapidly

growing economic regions in the long term. In China, the number of projects realized was

significantly lower than in the previous year.

Project activity continued to be high for irrigation and drinking water pumps in Asia (mainly in

the Middle East and India) and for standard water pumps during the reporting period.

General economic conditions

During the first quarter of 2010, the economic environment continued to stabilize in the main

economic regions of the world. The main concern focused on the considerable national debt in

single countries and the resulting uncertainty regarding their ability to meet their solvency.

In the USA, the economy recovered further during the reporting period; however, this was

mostly driven by investments related to the government‘s incentive program as well as

inventory re-stocking in most industries. Due to the unchanged difficult situation in the labor

market, with over 10% unemployment, private consumption (which is the largest contributor to

the US gross domestic product) remained subdued. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board

(FED) indicated that interest rates will remain at the present low level for the foreseeable future.

In Europe, the economic recovery continued in the first quarter of 2010, but was more modest

than in the USA in most of the member countries due to subdued consumer spending. High un-

employment in most EU member states, as well as government programs initiated to consolidate

and reduce budget deficits, placed a further burden on economic recovery.

The economies in Asia and in other large emerging regions continued their solid development

during the reporting period. Economic activities in China were supported by the stimulus

program implemented by the Chinese government, as well as by rising export figures. Japan and

most South American countries also developed favorably during the first quarter of 2010.

Sales

Sales of the ANDRITZ GROUP amounted to 732.3 MEUR during the first quarter of 2010, thus

decreasing by 7.3% compared to the first quarter of 2009 (790.1 MEUR).

While sales in the HYDRO business area rose compared to last year‘s reference period (349.0

MEUR in Q1 2010 vs. 316.6 MEUR in Q1 2009), sales in the other business areas saw a decline.

In particular, sales in the METALS (78.0 MEUR in Q1 2010 vs. 135.0 MEUR in Q1 2009) and

the ENVIRONMENT & PROCESS (55.7 MEUR in Q1 2010 vs. 70.8 MEUR in Q1 2009)

business areas dropped significantly compared to the previous year

Major risks during the remaining months of the financial year and risk management

The ANDRITZ GROUP has a long-established Group-wide risk management system whose goal

is to identify nascent risks early and to take countermeasures, if necessary. This is an important

element of active risk management within the Group. However, there is no guarantee that the

monitoring and risk control systems are sufficiently effective.

The essential risks for the business development of the ANDRITZ GROUP in 2010 relate above

all to: the Group‘s dependence on the general economic development and the development of the

industries it serves; whether major orders are received and the risks they entail; and whether

adequate sales proceeds are realized from the high order backlog. The persistent financial crisis

and substantial economic slowdown in the main economic regions of the world also constitute a

serious risk for the ANDRITZ GROUP‘s financial development during the 2010 business year.

The global economic weakness may lead to further delays in the execution of existing orders and

to the postponement or cancellation of projects. Cancellations of existing contracts could

adversely affect the ANDRITZ GROUP‘s order backlog, which would in turn have a negative

impact on utilization of the Group‘s manufacturing capacities.

The global financial and economic crisis may also necessitate complete or partial impairments of

single goodwill created in the course of acquisitions if the business development goals cannot be

reached. This may influence the earnings development of the ANDRITZ GROUP. In addition,

there is always some risk that partial or full provisions will have to be made for some trade

accounts receivable.

For the majority of orders, the risk of payment failure by customers is mitigated by means of

bank guarantees and export insurance, but individual payment failures can have a substantial

negative impact on earnings development of the Group. Risks related to deliveries to countries

with medium to high political risks typically are also insured to a large extent. Interest and

exchange rate risks are minimized and controlled by derivative financial instruments, in

particular forward exchange contracts and swaps. Net currency exposure of orders in foreign

currencies (mainly US dollar, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc) is hedged by forward contracts.

Cash flow risks are monitored via monthly cash flow reports.

The ANDRITZ GROUP‘s position in terms of liquidity is very good; the Group has sufficient

liquidity reserves and secures access to liquidity. The Group avoids dependence on one single or

only a few banks. To ensure independence, no bank will receive more than a certain defined

amount of the business in any important product (cash and cash equivalents, financial liabilities,

financial assets, guarantees, and derivatives). Nevertheless, if one or more banks were to become

insolvent, this would have a considerable negative influence on earnings development and

shareholders‘ equity of the ANDRITZ GROUP.

Cash is largely invested in low-risk financial assets, such as government bonds, government-

guaranteed bonds, investment funds to cover pension obligations, or term deposits. However, the

financial market crisis and its effects have led to unfavorable price developments for various

securities in which the Group has invested (e.g. money market funds, bonds), or made them non-

tradable. This could have an adverse effect on the ANDRITZ GROUP‘s financial result or share-

holders‘ equity due to necessary depreciation or value adjustments. The crisis has also

heightened the risk of default by some issuers of securities, as well as by customers.

For further information on the major risks for the ANDRITZ GROUP, see the ANDRITZ annual

financial report 2009.

Effects from exchange rates

Changes in exchange rates are hedged by forward rate contracts.

Information pursuant to Article 87 (4) of the (Austrian) Stock Exchange Act

During the first quarter of 2010, no major business transactions were conducted with related

persons and companies.

Significant events after March 31, 2010

The status of the global economy and the financial markets did not change substantially in the

period between the date of the balance sheet and publication of this report.

Outlook

According to recent forecasts by leading economic experts, the economic situation in the relevant

regions is expected to stabilize further over the next few months; however, a substantial

economic recovery is not expected for 2010.

Based on the prevailing economic environment and the current project activity in those markets

that are relevant for ANDRITZ‘s business, the expectations of the ANDRITZ GROUP for its

economic development in the coming quarters have not changed. Continuing positive market

development is expected for the HYDRO business area in the coming months. The

ENVIRONMENT & PROCESS and the FEED & BIOFUEL business areas should also see

satisfactory development. Moderate project activity is expected to continue in the PULP &

PAPER and the METALS business areas.

Status report

On the basis of these expectations and the order backlog of more than 4.7 billion EUR at the end

of March 2010, the ANDRITZ GROUP expects sales in 2010 to remain unchanged or slightly up

compared to the full year of 2009. Cost savings resulting from the restructuring measures

initiated in 2009 should have a positive impact on the net income.

If, however, the global economy weakens again in 2010, a negative impact can be expected on

the future development of sales and earnings of the ANDRITZ GROUP. As a result, there may

be further need for restructuring that will affect the 2010 earnings development accordingly.

Declaration pursuant to Article 87 (1) of the (Austrian) Stock Exchange Act

We hereby confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the condensed interim financial statements

of the ANDRITZ GROUP drawn up in compliance with the applicable accounting standards

provide a true and fair view of the asset, financial, and earnings positions of the ANDRITZ

GROUP, and that the status report for the first quarter of 2010 provides a true and fair view of

the asset, financial, and earnings positions of the ANDRITZ GROUP with regard to the

important events of the first three months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed

interim financial statements of the ANDRITZ GROUP, and with regard to the major risks and

uncertainties during the remaining nine months of the financial year, and also with regard to the

major business transactions subject to disclosure and concluded with related persons and

companies.

The Executive Board of ANDRITZ AG

Wolfgang Leitner Franz Hofmann Karl Hornhofer Humbert Köfler

(President, CEO)09

Friedrich Papst

‘2009 will be difficult –but we are well positioned for 2009’

The 2008 financial year was characterized by the global economic and financial crisis, which has

impacted practically all areas of the real economy. Wolfgang Leitner, President & CEO of

ANDRITZ AG, discusses the effects of the global financial and economic crisis, the expectations

and strategies of the ANDRITZ GROUP for 2009, as well as the successes achieved during the

year 2008.

The global economy is continuing to cool off, and the world‘s large economic regions have

either already slipped into recession or are seeing a clear slow-down of their economic growth.

Experts expect the effects of this crisis to become even more heavily felt by most industries in

the course of 2009 and, thus, to have a negative influence on the development of the real

economy.

What are the effects of this crisis on ANDRITZ?

Wolfgang Leitner (president & CEO)

The effects of the worldwide economic slowdown have indeed been strongly felt during the past

few months by some of our business areas, mainly PULP & PAPER and METALS, where we

have experienced delays in order awards and order execution on the customer side. The other

business areas have not, or only partially, been affected by the economic slump. Especially in the

HYDRO business area, order intake developed very favorably, and there have been no delays in

order execution either.

It is very difficult to predict how business will develop during the coming months and the full

year 2009. We are prepared for significant decreases in project activity in one business area or

the other. In the PULP & PAPER and METALS business areas, in particular, investments are

likely to remain at a low level during the first half of 2009, if not longer. The other ANDRITZ

business areas should be less affected by the economic weakness. 2009 will be difficult – but, in

general, I believe we are well-positioned to cope with the effects of the financial and economic

criss.

Many industries have been impacted by the global financial and economic crisis already in

2008. What were the essential developments of ANDRITZ in 2008? Despite the heavy

economic turmoil we can be satisfied with the development during the 2008 business year. We

were able to continue our growth both through organic expansion and further important

acquisitions, and to consolidate our market position in many areas. In particular, we achieved a

very positive order intake development in the HYDRO business area, and we have further

strengthened our competitive position in the rapidly growing hydropower market by acquiring

General Electric‘s hydropower activities.

I would also like to stress the very good development of the pumps business, where 2008 has

been another record year. In the METALS area, we have purchased ANDRITZ Maerz, a

company with a very good reputation in the industry. It has considerably extended our product

portfolio for furnaces for the steel and copper industry. With an order intake of more than 150

million Euros and very good profitability, the company, which became a member of the

ANDRITZ GROUP in March 2008, has developed better than expected.

In the PULP & PAPER area, we acquired major assets of Andreas Kufferath GmbH & Co. KG,

Düren, Germany, including the affiliates in Slovakia and China, thus considerably extending our

product portfolio in the services area by paper machine fabrics.

What are the goals and strategies for 2009?

The main goal is the rapid and successful integration of the newly acquired companies. Only

quick integration into the existing ANDRITZ organization will allow utilization of existing

synergies and, thus, create added value for the ANDRITZ GROUP. We must continuously look

for opportunities to become yet more competitive by introducing structural and operative

measures – several operative measures were taken in 2008 already to adjust ANDRITZ to the

changes in the general economic situation. We are watching the economic development very

closely and will immediately take further measures if necessary.

ANDRITZ is prepared for a comparatively rapid recovery of the global economy beginning in

2009 – but also for a continuation of the recession beyond 2009.We will continue to investigate

potential acquisitions in 2009 to further enhance our product and technology portfolio through

the purchase of complementary companies. Our high cash position provides us with the

necessary funds to be able to continue our external growth strategy.

We were able to continue our growth both through organic expansion

and further important acquisitions, and to consolidate our market

position in many areas.

Another important goal for 2009 is to process the high order backlog – especially in the

HYDRO and METALS areas – according to schedule and in conformity with the customer

requirements. Unless we execute all orders to the full satisfaction of our customers, we will not

be able to stand our ground and retain our good market position in an environment that has

become even more competitive than before due to the current financial and economic crisis.

On behalf of the Executive Board, I would like to thank all employees of the ANDRITZ

GROUP for their outstanding performance in 2008, and all customers, business partners, and

shareholders for the confidence placed in us in 2008. We will continue to do our utmost in 2009

and in the future to promote the success of ANDRITZ in the best possible way, despite the global

economic weakness.

Global care and economic crisis do not contradict each other’

Andritz hydro acquires hydro Power activities from general electric

In 2008, ANDRITZ HYDRO took over hydropower activities from General Electric (GE) with

400 employees in Canada, Brazil, Sweden, Finland, Great Britain, and China. Thus,

ANDRITZHYDRO has been able to further strengthen its position as a globally leading supplier

of hydropower equipment.

METHODOLOGY

Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. In it, step-by-step

methods are followed to solve a particular problem. It refers to a search for knowledge. It can

also be defined as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.

In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation.

Redman & Mory defines research as ―systematized effort to gain new knowledge.‖

RESEACH DESIGN:

Research Design is the way in which the research is carried out. It works as a blue print.

Research Design is the arrangement of conditions for the collection and analysis of data in a

manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.

Testing Research Design.

The present project is descriptive in nature. The major purpose of descriptive

research is the description of state of affairs, as it exists at present. The main characteristic of this

method is that the researcher has no control over the variables; he can only report what has

happened or what is happening.

Sample size:- In project sample size 1 company i.e. Andritz hydro pvt ltd

PROBLEM RECOGNITION:-

Any type of research study suffers from certain limitation relating to either the research itself or

to the topic thought. The degree and nature of the limitation varies with the topic.

The present study has been undertaken to analyze the Ratio analysis is being managed in the

company and how far it contributes to the overall objective of maximization of shareholders

wealth and the organization wealth.

It become quite difficult rather impossible to make judgment about the position of any business

by way of analyzing the financial statements of one year.

To know the financial position of the company through various ratios.

Is Andritz is able to meets its current liability against its current assets?

The information is collected through secondary sources during the project. That information was

utilized for calculating performance evaluation and based on that, interpretations were made.

DATA COLLECTION:

The data can be of two types:

Primary Data

Secondary Data

The study is based on both primary and secondary data.

Primary Data: Primary data are those data, which is originally collected afresh.

Secondary Data: Secondary Data are those data which are already collected and stored and

which has been passed through statistical research.

In this project, secondary data has been collected from following sources:-

Sources of secondary data:

1. Most of the calculations are made on the financial statements of the company provided

statements.

2. Referring standard texts and referred books collected some of the information regarding

theoretical aspects.

3. Method- to assess the performance of the company method of observation of the work in

finance department in followed.

LIMITATIONS

1. The study provides an insight into the financial, personnel, marketing and other aspects

of ANDRITZ. Every study will be bound with certain limitations.

2. The below mentioned are the constraints under which the study is carried out.

3. One of the factors of the study was lack of availability of ample information. Most of

the information has been kept confidential and as such as not assed as art of policy of

company.

4. Time is an important limitation. The whole study was conducted in a period of 45 days,

which is not sufficient to carry out proper interpretation and analysis.

5. Unawareness: Executives were unaware of many terms related to Financial Analysis

while asking to them.

6. Busy Schedule of Concerned Executives: The concerned executives were not having

very busy schedule because of which they were reluctant to give appointment.

RATIO ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm

and establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and profit & loss account.

Financial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios, which are derived from the

information in a company‘s financial statements. The level and historical trends of these ratios

can be used to make inferences about a company‘s financial condition, its operations and

attractiveness as an investment. The information in the statements is used by

Trade creditors, to identify the firm‘s ability to meet their claims i.e. liquidity position of

the company.

Investors, to know about the present and future profitability of the company and its

financial structure.

Management, in every aspect of the financial analysis. It is the responsibility of the

management to maintain sound financial condition in the company.

RATIO ANALYSIS

The term ―Ratio‖ refers to the numerical and quantitative relationship between two items or

variables. This relationship can be exposed as

· Percentages

· Fractions

· Proportion of numbers

Ratio analysis is defined as the systematic use of the ratio to interpret the financial statements. So

that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm, as well as its historical performance and current

financial condition can be determined. Ratio reflects a quantitative relationship helps to form a

quantitative judgment.

STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS

The first task of the financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the decision

under consideration from the statements and calculates appropriate ratios.

To compare the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm relating to the pas6t or

with the industry ratios. It facilitates in assessing success or failure of the firm.

Third step is to interpretation, drawing of inferences and report writing conclusions are

drawn after comparison in the shape of report or recommended courses of action.

BASIS OR STANDARDS OF COMPARISON

Ratios are relative figures reflecting the relation between variables. They enable analyst to draw

conclusions regarding financial operations. They use of ratios as a tool of financial analysis

involves the comparison with related facts. This is the basis of ratio analysis. The basis of ratio

analysis is of four types.

Past ratios, calculated from past financial statements of the firm.

Competitor‘s ratio, of the sum most progressive and successful competitor firm at the

same point of time.

Industry ratio, the industry ratios to which the firm belongs to

Projected ratios, ratios of the future developed from the projected or pro forma financial

statements.

NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis is a technique of analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It is the

process of establishing and interpreting various ratios for helping in making certain decisions. It

is only a means of understanding of financial strengths and weaknesses of a firm. There are a

number of ratios which can be calculated from the information given in the financial statements,

but the analyst has to select the appropriate data and calculate only a few appropriate ratios. The

following are the four steps involved in the ratio analysis.

Selection of relevant data from the financial statements depending upon the objective of

the analysis.

Calculation of appropriate ratios from the above data.

Comparison of the calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm in the past, or the

ratios developed from projected financial statements or the ratios of some other firms or

the comparison with ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.

INTERPRETATION OF THE RATIOS

The interpretation of ratios is an important factor. The inherent limitations of ratio analysis

should be kept in mind while interpreting them.

The impact of factors such as price level changes, change in accounting policies, window

dressing etc., should also be kept in mind when attempting to interpret ratios. The interpretation

of ratios can be made in the following ways.

Single absolute ratio

Group of ratios

Historical comparison

Projected ratios

Inter-firm comparison

GUIDELINES OR PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF RATIOS:-

The calculation of ratios may not be a difficult task but their use is not easy. Following

guidelines or factors may be kept in mind while interpreting various ratios is:-

Accuracy of financial statements

Objective or purpose of analysis

Selection of ratios

Use of standards

Caliber of the analysis

IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Aid to measure general efficiency

Aid to measure financial solvency

Aid in forecasting and planning

Facilitate decision making

Aid in corrective action

Aid in intra-firm comparison

Act as a good communication

Evaluation of efficiency

Effective tool

LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Differences in definitions

Limitations of accounting records

Lack of proper standards

No allowances for price level changes

Changes in accounting procedures

Quantitative factors are ignored

Limited use of single ratio

Background is over looked

Limited use and Personal bias

CLASSIFICATIONS OF RATIOS

The use of ratio analysis is not confined to financial manager only. There are different parties

interested in the ratio analysis for knowing the financial position of a firm for different purposes.

Various accounting ratios can be classified as follows:

1. Traditional Classification

2. Functional Classification

3. Significance ratios

1. Traditional Classification

It includes the following.

Balance sheet (or) position statement ratio: They deal with the relationship between

two balance sheet items, e.g. the ratio of current assets to current liabilities etc., both

the items must, however, pertain to the same balance sheet.

Profit & loss account (or) revenue statement ratios: These ratios deal with the

relationship between two profit & loss account items, e.g. the ratio of gross profit to

sales etc.,

Composite (or) inter statement ratios: These ratios exhibit the relation between a

profit & loss account or income statement item and a balance sheet items, e.g. stock

turnover ratio, or the ratio of total assets to sales.

2. Functional Classification

These include

Liquidity ratios

Long term solvency and

Leverage ratios,

Activity ratios and

Profitability ratios.

3. Significance ratios

Some ratios are important than others and the firm may classify them as primary and secondary

ratios. The primary ratio is one, which is of the prime importance to a concern. The other ratios

that support the primary ratio are called secondary ratios.

IN THE VIEW OF FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION THE RATIOS ARE:-

1. Liquidity ratio

2. Leverage ratio

3. Activity ratio

4. Profitability ratio

1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS

Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current obligations as & when there

becomes due. The short term obligations of a firm can be met only when there are sufficient

liquid assets. The short term obligations are met by realizing amounts from current, floating (or)

circulating assets The current assets should either be calculated liquid (or) near liquidity. They

should be convertible into cash for paying obligations of short term nature. The sufficiency (or)

insufficiency of current assets should be assessed by comparing them with short-term current

liabilities. If current assets can pay off current liabilities, then liquidity position will be

satisfactory.

To measure the liquidity of a firm the following ratios can be calculated:-

Current ratio

Quick (or) Acid-test (or) Liquid ratio

Absolute liquid ratio (or) Cash position ratio

(a) CURRENT RATIO:

Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.

This ratio also known as Working capital ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most

widely used to make the analysis of a short-term financial position (or) liquidity of a firm.

Current ratio = _Current assets__

Current liabilities

Components of current ratio

Current assets C Current liabilities

Cash in hand Outstanding or accrued expenses

Cash at bank Bank over draft

Bills receivable Bills payable

Inventories Short-term advances

Work-in-progress Sundry creditors

Marketable securities Dividend payable

Short-term investments Income-tax payable

Sundry debtors

Prepaid expenses

(b) QUICK RATIO

Quick ratio is a test of liquidity than the current ratio. The term liquidity refers to the ability of a

firm to pay its short-term obligations as & when they become due. Quick ratio may be defined as

the relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid

if it is converted into cash within a short period without loss of value.

Quick ratio = Quick or liquid assets

Current liabilities

Components of quick or liquid ratio

Quick assets Current liabilities

Cash in hand Outstanding or accrued expenses

Cash at bank Bank over draft

Bills receivable Bills payable

Sundry debtors Short-term advances

Marketable securities Sundry creditors

Temporary investments Dividend payable

Income tax payable

(c) ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO

Although receivable, debtors and bills receivable are generally more liquid than inventories, yet

there may be doubts regarding their realization into cash immediately or in time. Hence, absolute

liquid ratio should also be calculated together with current ratio and quick ratio so as to exclude

even receivables from the current assets and find out the absolute liquid assets.

Absolute liquid ratio = Absolute liquid assets

Current liabilities

Absolute liquid assets include cash in hand etc. The acceptable forms for this ratio is 50% (or)

0.5:1 (or) 1:2 i.e., Rs.1 worth absolute liquid assets are considered to pay Rs.2 worth current

liabilities in time as all the creditors are nor accepted to demand cash at the same time and then

cash may also be realized from debtors and inventories.

Components of Absolute Liquid Ratio SOLUTEID ASSETS

Absolute liquid assets Current liabilities

Cash in hand Outstanding or accrued expenses

Cash at bank Bank over draft

Interest on Fixed Deposit Bills payable

2. LEVERAGE RATIOS

The leverage or solvency ratio refers to the ability of a concern to meet its long term obligations.

Accordingly, long term solvency ratios indicate firm‘s ability to meet the fixed interest and costs

and repayment schedules associated with its long term borrowings.

The following ratio serves the purpose of determining the solvency of the concern.

Proprietary ratio

(a) PROPRIETARY RATIO

A variant to the debt-equity ratio is the proprietary ratio which is also known as equity ratio. This

ratio establishes relationship between shareholders funds to total assets of the firm.

Proprietary ratio = Shareholders funds

Total assets

Components of proprietary ratio

SHARE HOLDERS FUND TOETS

3. ACTIVITY RATIOS

Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and earn profits. The efficiency

with which assets are managed directly affects the volume of sales. Activity ratios measure the

efficiency (or) effectiveness with which a firm manages its resources (or) assets. These ratios are

also called ―Turn over ratios‖ because they indicate the speed with which assets are converted or

turned over into sales.

Working capital turnover ratio

Fixed assets turnover ratio

Capital turnover ratio

Current assets to fixed assets ratio

(a) WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO

Working capital of a concern is directly related to sales.

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

It indicates the velocity of the utilization of net working capital.

This indicates the no. of times the working capital is turned over in the course of a year. A higher

ratio indicates efficient utilization of working capital and a lower ratio indicates inefficient

utilization.

Working capital turnover ratio= cost of goods sold

(b) FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO

It is also known as sales to fixed assets ratio. This ratio measures the efficiency and profit

earning capacity of the firm. Higher the ratio, greater is the intensive utilization of fixed assets.

Lower ratio means under-utilization of fixed assets.

Fixed assets turnover ratio = Cost of Sales

Net fixed assets

Cost of Sales = Income from Services

Net Fixed Assets = Fixed Assets – Depreciation

(c) CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIOS

Sometimes the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations are judged by comparing the cost of

sales or sales with amount of capital invested in the business and not with assets held in the

business, though in both cases the same result is expected. Capital invested in the business may

be classified as long-term and short-term capital or as fixed capital and working capital or

Owned Capital and Loaned Capital. All Capital Turnovers are calculated to study the uses of

various types of capital.

Capital turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold

Capital employed

Cost of Goods Sold = Income from Services

Capital Employed = Capital + Reserves & Surplus

(d) CURRENT ASSETS TO FIXED ASSETS RATIO

This ratio differs from industry to industry. The increase in the ratio means that trading is slack

or mechanization has been used. A decline in the ratio means that debtors and stocks are

increased too much or fixed assets are more intensively used. If current assets increase with the

corresponding increase in profit, it will show that the business is expanding.

Current Assets to Fixed Assets Ratio = Current Assets

efficiency of the management in manufacturing, selling administrative and other activities of the

firm.

Net profit ratio= Net profit after tax

Net sales

Net Profit after Tax = Net Profit (–) Depreciation (–) Interest (–) Income Tax

Net Sales = Income from Services

Profitability can be measured in terms of relationship between net profit and assets. This ratio is

also known as profit-to-assets ratio. It measures the profitability of investments. The overall

profitability can be known.

Return on assets = Net profit

Total assets

Net Profit = Earnings before Interest and Tax

Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets

(c) RESERVES AND SURPLUS TO CAPITAL RATIO

in all years 2005-2009 regular increased because my company is project based company debtors

can‘t easily converted in to cash till the project is not completed. Inventories are also increased in

2007-2009. Cash &bank balance fluctuates because of purchase of raw material for project and

increased when project is completed.

Current Ratio

Quick assets and current liabilities trends :-

Comment:- In project based company the quick assets is very less (cash & bank balance,

sundry debtors) because of cycle of purchase of raw material through cash and it may take a long

time to convert in to cash. in project based company they consider sundry debtors as long term

assets because of long project take long time after the completion of project debtors are turn

liquid. This graph represents current liabilities is more than quick assets because in project based

company initially they deal a contract and send the material at project sight. Initially the other

party can‘t pay more cash as per project so this creates more current liabilities than quick assets.

change. For additional information on the accounting and valuation principles, see the

business combinations, consolidated financial statements, and transactions with non-controlling

interests.

LIMITATIONS

False accounting data gives false ratios.

Comparison not possible if different firms adopt different accounting policies regarding

depreciation, creation of provision for doubtful debts method of valuation of closing

stock etc.

Ratio Analysis becomes less effective due to price level changes.

Ratio may be misleading in the absence of absolute data.

Limited use of a single ratio.

Some companies in order to cover up their bad financial position to Window dressing

i.e., showing a better position than the one which really exists.

Circumstances differ from firm to firm hence no single ratio can be fixed for all firms

against which the actual ratio may compare.

Ratios derived from analysis of statement alone are not sure indicator of good or bad

financial position and profitability of a firm. Effect of personal ability and bias of analyst.

Conclusion:-

After making my project I conclude the financial position of the company is good. The company

meets all the standards and makes good profits through sales of hydro turbines.

Overall all ratios show good return and makes the financial position of the company is good.

Financial position of the company is good.

Return on investment of the company is always good.

Earning per share of company is also very good.

Reserve and surplus in appropriate which meets any kind of contingency.

In above show articles also show ratio analysis is very effective technique for measure

profitability and financial position of the organization.
