  1. Chapter 3 - Evaluating a Firm’s Financial Performance  2005, Pearson Prentice Hall

  2. Financial Ratio Analysis • Are our decisions maximizing shareholder wealth? • Identify some of the financial strengths and weaknesses of a company.

  3. We will want to answer questions about the firm’s • Liquidity • Efficient use of Assets • Leverage (financing) • Profitability

  4. Financial Ratios • Tools that help us determine the financial health of a company. • We can compare a company’s financial ratios with its ratios in previous years (trend analysis). • We can compare a company’s financial ratios with those of its industry.

  5. Example:CyberDragon Corporation

  9. 1. Liquidity Ratios • Do we have enough liquid assets to meet approaching obligations?

  10. What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio? current assets current liabilities Indicates a firm’s liquidity, as measured by its liquid assets (current assets) relative to its liquid debt (short-term or current liabilities).

  11. 50,190 25,523 = 1.97 What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio? If the average current ratio for the industry is 2.4, is this good or not?

  12. What is the firm’s Acid Test (Quick) Ratio? current assets - inventories current liabilities Indicates a firm’s liquidity, as measured by its liquid assets, excluding inventories, relative to its current liabilities.

  13. 50,190 - 27,530 25,523 = .89 What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio? Suppose the industry average is .92. What does this tell us?

  14. What is the firm’s Average Collection Period? accounts receivable daily credit sales Indicates how rapidly a firm is collecting its credit, as measured by the average number of days it takes to collect its accounts receivable.

  15. 18,320 112,760/365 = 59.3 days What is the firm’s Average Collection Period? If the industry average is 47 days, what does this tell us?

  16. 2. Operating Efficiency Ratios • Measure how efficiently the firm’s assets generate operating profits.

  17. What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)? operating income total assets Indicates the effectiveness of management at generating operating profits on the firm’s assets, as measured by operating profits relative to the total assets.

  18. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)? • Slightly below the industry average of 15%. • The OIROI reflects product pricing and the firm’s ability to keep costs down.

  19. What is their Operating Profit Margin? operating income sales Indicates management’s effectiveness in managing the firm’s income statement, as measured by operating profits relative to sales.

  20. 11,520 112,760 = 10.22% What is their Operating Profit Margin? • This is below the industry average of • 12%.

  21. What is their Total Asset Turnover? sales total assets Indicates management’s effectiveness in managing the firm’s balance sheet, its assets - as indicated by the amount of sales generated per one dollar of assets.

  22. 112,760 81,890 = 1.38 times What is their Total Asset Turnover? The industry average is 1.82 times. The firm needs to figure out how to squeeze more sales dollars out of its assets.

  23. What is the firm’s Accounts Receivable Turnover? credit sales accounts receivable Indicates how rapidly the firm is collecting its credit, as measured by the number of times its accounts receivable are collected or “rolled over” during the year.

  24. 112,760 18,320 = 6.16 times What is the firm’s Accounts Receivable Turnover? CyberDragon turns their A/R over 6.16 times per year. The industry average is 8.2 times. Is this efficient?

  25. What is the firm’s Inventory Turnover? cost of goods sold inventory Indicates the relative liquidity of inventories, as measured by the number of times a firm’s inventories are replaced during the year.

  26. 85,300 27,530 = 3.10 times What is the firm’s Inventory Turnover? CyberDragon turns their inventory over 3.1 times per year. The industry average is 3.9 times. Is this efficient?

  27. Low inventory turnover: The firm may have too much inventory, which is expensive because: • Inventory takes up costly warehouse space. • Some items may become spoiled or obsolete.

  28. What is the firm’s Fixed Asset Turnover? sales fixed assets Indicates the efficiency with which the firm use its fixed assets to generate sales.

  29. 112,760 31,700 = 3.56 times What is the firm’s Fixed Asset Turnover? If the industry average is 4.6 times, what does this tell us about CyberDragon?

  30. 3. Leverage Ratios(financing decisions) • Measure the impact of using debt capital to finance assets. • Firms use debt to lever (increase) returns on common equity.

  31. How does Leverage work? • Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its earnings this year total $15,000. ROE = = 15% 15,000 100,000

  32. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 22% 15,000 - 4,000 50,000

  33. What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio? total debt total assets Indicates how much debt is used to finance a firm’s assets.

  34. 47,523 81,890 = 58% What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio? If the industry average is 47%, what does this tell us? Can leverage make the firm more profitable? Can leverage make the firm riskier?

  35. What is the firm’s Times Interest Earned Ratio? operating income interest expense Indicates a firm’s ability to cover its interest expense, as measured by its earnings before interest and taxes relative to its interest expense.

  36. 11,520 3,160 = 3.65 times What is the firm’s Times Interest Earned Ratio? The industry average is 6.7 times. This is further evidence that the firm uses more debt financing than average.

  37. 4. Return on Equity How well are the firm’s managers maximizing shareholder wealth?

  38. What is CyberDragon’sReturn on Equity (ROE)? net income common equity Indicates the accounting rate of return on the stockholders’ investment, as measured by net income relative to common equity.

  39. 5,016 34,367 = 14.6% What is CyberDragon’sReturn on Equity (ROE)? The industry average is 17.54%. Is this what we would expect, given the firm’s leverage?

  40. 5. Other Profitability Ratios • Gross Profit Margin • Net Profit Margin • Earnings per Share • Return on Assets

  41. What is CyberDragon’sGross Profit Margin (GPM)? gross profit sales Measures the percentage of each sales dollar remaining after the firm has paid for its goods.

  42. 27,460 112,760 = 24.4% What is CyberDragon’sGross Profit Margin (GPM)?

  43. What is CyberDragon’sNet Profit Margin (NPM)? net income sales Measures the net income of a firm as a percent of sales.

  44. 5,016 112,760 = 4.4% What is CyberDragon’sNet Profit Margin (NPM)?

  45. What is CyberDragon’sReturn on Assets (ROA)? net income total assets Determines the amount of net income produced on a firm’s assets by relating net income to total assets; also called the return on investment (ROI).

  46. 5,016 81,890 = 6.1% What is CyberDragon’sReturn on Assets (ROA)?

  47. What is CyberDragon’sEanings per Share (EPS)? earnings available for common stockholders number of shares of common stock outstanding Represents the dollar amount earned on behalf of each outstanding share of common stock.

  48. 5,016 1,300 = $3.86 What is CyberDragon’sEarnings per Share (EPS)?

  49. Conclusion: • Even though CyberDragon has higher leverage than the industry average, they are much less efficient, and therefore, less profitable.

  50. The DuPont Model Brings together: • Profitability • Efficiency • Leverage
