Ratio Analysis

1.Liquidity Ratio
Liquidity ratios are used to determine a companys ability to meet its short-term debt obligations.
Investors often take a close look at liquidity ratios when performing fundamental analysis on a
firm. Since a company that is consistently having trouble meeting its short-term debt is at a
higher risk of bankruptcy, liquidity ratios are a good measure of whether a company will be able
to comfortably continue as a going concern.
i.

Current Ratio
The current ratio is a popular financial ratio used to test a company's liquidity (also referred
to as its current or working capital position) by deriving the proportion of current assets
available to cover current liabilities.
Formula:

200,000 /180,000 = 1.11


The company has 10% extra asset after meeting its short term
liabilities
10,000/100,00= 0.1
The ratio 0.1 depicts that the company only has
enough cash in hand to cover 10% of its short-term
obligations.
ii.

Quick Ratio
The quick ratio - aka the quick assets ratio or the acid-test ratio - is a liquidity indicator that
further refines the current ratio by measuring the amount of the most liquid current assets
there are to cover current liabilities. The quick ratio is more conservative than the current
ratio because it excludes inventory and other current assets, which are more difficult to turn
into cash. Therefore, a higher ratio means a more liquid current position.
Formula:

iii.

Cash Ratio
The cash ratio is an indicator of a company's liquidity that further refines both the current
ratio and the quick ratio by measuring the amount of cash; cash equivalents or invested
funds there are in current assets to cover current liabilities.
Formula:

iv.

Cash Conversion Cycle

This liquidity metric expresses the length of time (in days) that a company uses to sell
inventory, collect receivables and pay its accounts payable. The cash conversion cycle (CCC)
measures the number of days a company's cash is tied up in the production and sales
process of its operations and the benefit it gets from payment terms from its creditors. The
shorter this cycle, the more liquid the company's working capital position is.
The CCC is also known as the "cash" or "operating" cycle.
Formula:

2.Profitability Ratios (Comparison)


It is the capacity to make a profit. The company with the higher profit margin is able to sell at a
higher price or lower expenses. They tend to be more attractive to investors. Profitability ratios
are going to vary from industry to industry, so comparisons should be between other companies
in the same field.

Return on Asset

This ratio indicates how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. The return on
assets (ROA) ratio illustrates how well management is employing the company's total assets
to make a profit. The higher the return, the more efficient management is in utilizing its
asset base.
Formula:

ROA= Net Income/Total Assest


ROA = 10000 / 2500 = 4
It derives four dollars for each dollar of assets it owns.

vi.

Return on Equity

This ratio indicates how profitable a company is by comparing its net income to its average
shareholders' equity. The return on equity ratio (ROE) measures how much the
shareholders earned for their investment in the company. The higher the ratio
percentage, the more efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the better
return is to investors.

Formula:

vii.

ROCE

The return on capital employed (ROCE) ratio, expressed as a percentage, complements


the return on equity (ROE) ratio by adding a company's debt liabilities, or funded debt, to
equity to reflect a company's total "capital employed". This measure narrows the focus to
gain a better understanding of a company's ability to generate returns from its available
capital base.
Formula:

Debt Ratios
v.

Debt Ratio

The

debt ratio compares a company's total debt to its total assets, which is used to gain a

general idea as to the amount of leverage being used by a company. A low percentage
means that the company is less dependent on leverage, i.e., money borrowed from and/or
owed to others. The lower the percentage, the less leverage a company is using and the stronger
its equity position. In general, the higher the ratio, the more risk that company is
considered to have taken on.
Formula:

vi.

Debt equity ratio

The debt-equity ratio is another leverage ratio that compares a company's total liabilities to
its total shareholders. This is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors and
obligors have committed to the company versus what the shareholders have committed.
Formula

vii.

Interest coverage ratio


The interest coverage ratio is used to determine how easily a company can pay interest
expenses on outstanding debt. The ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings
before interest and taxes (EBIT) by the company's interest expenses for the same period.
The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense. When a
company's interest coverage ratio is only 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest expenses
may be questionable.
Formula:

viii.

Cash flow to debt ratio


This coverage ratio compares a company's operating cash flow to its total debt, which, for
purposes of this ratio, is defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, the current portion of
long-term debt and long-term debt. This ratio provides an indication of a company's ability
to cover total debt with its yearly cash flow from operations. The higher the percentage
ratio, the better the company's ability to carry its total debt.

Fixed assets turnover


This ratio is a rough measure of the productivity of a company's fixed assets (property, plant
and equipment or PP&E) with respect to generating sales. For most companies, their
investment in fixed assets represents the single largest component of their total assets. This
annual turnover ratio is designed to reflect a company's efficiency in managing these
significant assets. Simply put, the higher the yearly turnover rate, the better.

Formula:

Operating Cycle
Expressed as an indicator (days) of management performance efficiency, the operating cycle
is a "twin" of the cash conversion cycle. While the parts are the same receivables, inventory and payables - in the operating cycle, they are analyzed from the
perspective of how well the company is managing these critical operational capital assets, as
opposed to their impact on cash.
Formula:

Investors Ratio

Price Earnings Ratio


The price/earnings ratio (P/E) is the best known of the investment valuation indicators. The
P/E ratio has its imperfections, but it is nevertheless the most widely reported and used
valuation by investment professionals and the investing public. The financial reporting of
both companies and investment research services use a basic earnings per share (EPS)
figure divided into the current stock price to calculate the P/E multiple (i.e. how many times
a stock is trading (its price) per each dollar of EPS).

Dividend Yield
A stock's dividend yield is expressed as an annual percentage and is calculated as the
company's annual cash dividend per share divided by the current price of the stock. The
dividend yield is found in the stock quotes of dividend-paying companies. Investors should
note that stock quotes record the per share dollar amount of a company's latest quarterly
declared dividend. This quarterly dollar amount is annualized and compared to the current
stock price to generate the per annum dividend yield, which represents an expected return.
Income investors value a dividend-paying stock, while growth investors have little interest in
dividends, preferring to capture large capital gains. Whatever your investing style, it is a
matter of historical record that dividend-paying stocks have performed better than nonpaying-dividend stocks over the long term.
Formula:

xiv.

Price earning to growth ratio

The price/earnings to growth ratio, commonly referred to as the PEG ratio, is obviously
closely related to the P/E ratio. The PEG ratio is a refinement of the P/E ratio and factors in
a stock's estimated earnings growth into its current valuation. By comparing a stock's P/E
ratio with its projected, or estimated, earnings per share (EPS) growth, investors are given
insight into the degree of overpricing or under pricing of a stock's current valuation, as
indicated by the traditional P/E ratio.

Dividend Payout ratio

This ratio identifies the percentage of earnings (net income) per common share allocated to
paying cash dividends to shareholders. The dividend payout ratio is an indicator of how well
earnings support the dividend payment.
Here's how dividends "start" and "end." During a fiscal year quarter, a company's board of
directors declares a dividend. This event triggers the posting of a current liability for
"dividends payable." At the end of the quarter, net income is credited to a company's
retained earnings, and assuming there's sufficient cash on hand and/or from current
operating cash flow, the dividend is paid out. This reduces cash, and the dividends payable

liability is eliminated.
The payment of a cash dividend is recorded in the statement of cash flows under the
"financing activities" section.

Free Cash flow


The free cash flow/operating cash flow ratio measures the relationship between free cash
flow and operating cash flow.
The cash flow remaining after this deduction is considered "free" cash flow, which
becomes available to a company to use for expansion, acquisitions, and/or financial
stability to weather difficult market conditions. The higher the percentage of free cash flow
embedded in a company's operating cash flow, the greater the financial strength of the
company.
