3 17-3 C 1 BUILDING BLOCKS OF ANALYSIS Liquidity and efficiency Solvency Profitability Market prospects

4 17-4 C 1 INFORMATION FOR ANALYSIS 1. Income Statement 2. Balance Sheet 3. Statement of Stockholders Equity 4. Statement of Cash Flows 5. Notes to the Financial Statements

5 17-5 C 1 STANDARDS FOR COMPARISON When we interpret our analysis, it is essential to compare the results we obtained to other standards or benchmarks. Intracompany Competitors Industry Guidelines

6 17-6 C 2 TOOLS OF ANALYSIS Horizontal Analysis Comparing a company s financial condition and performance across time. Vertical Analysis Comparing a company s financial condition and performance to a base amount. Ratio Analysis Measurement of key relations between financial statement items.

7 17-7 P 1 HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS

8 17-8 P 1 COMPARATIVE STATEMENTS Calculate Change in Dollar Amount Dollar Change Analysis Period Amount = Base Period Amount When measuring the amount of the change in dollar amounts, compare the analysis period balance to the base period balance. The analysis period is usually the current year while the base period is usually the prior year.

9 17-9 P 1 COMPARATIVE STATEMENTS Calculate Change as a Percent Percent Change Dollar Change = Base Period Amount 100 When calculating the change as a percentage, divide the amount of the dollar change by the base period amount, and then multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage.

10 17-10 P 1 HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS $1,550,861 $835,546 = $715,315 ($715,315 $835,546) 100 = 85.6%

11 17-11 P 1 HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS $14,953,224 $11,065,186 = $3,888,038 ($3,888,038 $11,065,186) 100 = 35.1%

12 17-12 P 1 TREND ANALYSIS Trend analysis is used to reveal patterns in data covering successive periods. Trend Percent Analysis Period Amount Base Period Amount = 100

13 17-13 P 1 TREND ANALYSIS Research in Motion Income Statement Information Using 2006 as the base year we will get the following trend information: Examples of Calculations for Revenues: 2006 is base year. Set to 100% 2007: $3,037,103 $2,065, = 147.0% 2008: $6,009,395 $2,065, = 290.9%

14 17-14 P 1 TREND ANALYSIS We can use the trend percentages to construct a graph so we can see the trend over time.

15 17-15 P 2 VERTICAL ANALYSIS Common-Size Statements Common-size Percent Analysis Amount Base Amount = 100 Financial Statement Balance Sheet Income Statement Base Amount Total Assets Revenues

16 17-16 P 2 COMMON-SIZE BALANCE SHEET ($1,550,861 $10,204,409) 100 = 15.2% ($835,546 $8,101,372) 100 = 10.3%

17 17-17 P 2 COMMON-SIZE INCOME STATEMENT ($8,368,958 $14,953,224) 100 = 56.0%

18 17-18 P 2 COMMON-SIZE GRAPHICS

19 17-19 P 3 RATIO ANALYSIS Liquidity and efficiency Solvency Profitability Market prospects

20 17-20 P 3 LIQUIDITY AND EFFICIENCY Current Ratio Acid-test Ratio Accounts Receivable Turnover Inventory Turnover Days Sales Uncollected Days Sales in Inventory Total Asset Turnover

21 17-21 P 3 WORKING CAPITAL Working capital represents current assets financed from long-term capital sources that do not require near-term repayment. Current assets Current liabilities = Working capital More working capital suggests a strong liquidity position and an ability to meet current obligations.

22 17-22 P 3 CURRENT RATIO Current Ratio = Current Assets Current Liabilities This ratio measures the short-term debtpaying ability of the company. A higher current ratio suggests a strong liquidity position.

23 17-23 P 3 ACID-TEST RATIO Acid-test ratio = Cash + Short-term investments + Current receivables Current Liabilities Referred to as Quick Assets This ratio is like the current ratio but excludes current assets such as inventories and prepaid expenses that may be difficult to quickly convert into cash.

24 17-24 P 3 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER Accounts receivable = turnover Average accounts receivable = Net sales Average accounts receivable, net (Beginning acct. rec. + Ending acct. rec.) 2 This ratio measures how many times a company converts its receivables into cash each year.

25 17-25 P 3 INVENTORY TURNOVER Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold Average inventory Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) 2 This ratio measures the number of times merchandise is sold and replaced during the year.

26 17-26 P 3 DAYS SALES UNCOLLECTED Day's sales = uncollected Accounts receivable, net 365 Net sales Provides insight into how frequently a company collects its accounts receivable.

27 17-27 P3 DAYS SALES IN INVENTORY Day's sales in = Inventory Ending inventory Cost of goods sold 365 This ratio is a useful measure in evaluating inventory liquidity. If a product is demanded by customers, this formula estimates how long it takes to sell the inventory.

28 17-28 P 3 TOTAL ASSET TURNOVER Total asset turnover = Net sales Average total assets Average assets = (Beginning assets + Ending assets) 2 This ratio reflects a company s ability to use its assets to generate sales. It is an important indication of operating efficiency.

29 17-29 P 3 SOLVENCY Debt Ratio Equity Ratio Pledged Assets to Secured Liabilities Times Interest Earned

30 17-30 P 3 DEBT AND EQUITY RATIOS Amount Ratio Total liabilities $ 8,000, % [Debt ratio] Total equity 4,000, % [Equity ratio] Total liabilities and equity $ 12,000, % $8,000,000 $12,000,000 = 66.7% The debt ratio expresses total liabilities as a percent of total assets. The equity ratio provides complementary information by expressing total equity as a percent of total assets.

31 17-31 P 3 DEBT-TO-EQUITY RATIO Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities Total equity This ratio measures what portion of a company s assets are contributed by creditors. A larger debt-toequity ratio implies less opportunity to expand through use of debt financing.

32 17-32 P 3 TIMES INTEREST EARNED Times interest earned = Income before interest and taxes Interest expense Net income + Interest expense + Income taxes = Income before interest and taxes This is the most common measure of the ability of a company s operations to provide protection to long-term creditors.

33 17-33 P 3 PROFITABILITY Profit Margin Return on Total Assets Return on Common Stockholders Equity

34 17-34 P 3 PROFIT MARGIN Profit margin = Net income Net sales This ratio describes a company s ability to earn net income from each sales dollar.

35 17-35 P 3 RETURN ON TOTAL ASSETS Return on total asset = Net income Average total assets Return on total assets measures how well assets have been employed by the company s management.

36 17-36 P 3 RETURN ON COMMON STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY Return on common stockholders' equity = Net income - Preferred dividends Average common stockholders' equity This measure indicates how well the company employed the stockholders equity to earn net income.

37 17-37 P 3 MARKET PROSPECTS Price-Earnings Ratio Dividend Yield

38 17-38 P 3 PRICE-EARNINGS RATIO Price-earnings ratio = Market price per common share Earnings per share This measure is often used by investors as a general guideline in gauging stock values. Generally, the higher the price-earnings ratio, the more opportunity a company has for growth.

39 17-39 P 3 DIVIDEND YIELD Dividend yield = Annual cash dividends per share Market price per share This ratio identifies the return, in terms of cash dividends, on the current market price per share of the company s common stock.

40 17-40 GLOBAL VIEW Horizontal and Vertical Analysis Horizontal and vertical analyses help eliminate many differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS when analyzing and interpreting financial statements. However, when fundamental differences in reporting regimes impact financial statements, the user must exercise caution when drawing conclusions. Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis of financial statement also helps eliminate differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Importantly, the use of ratio analysis is fine, with some possible changes in interpretation depending on what is and what is not included in certain accounting measures across U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Care must be taken in drawing inferences from a comparison of ratios across reporting regimes.

41 17-41 A1 ANALYSIS REPORTING The purpose of financial statement analyses is to reduce uncertainty in business decisions through a rigorous and sound evaluation. A financial statement analysis report directly addresses the building blocks of analysis and documents the reasoning. 1. Executive Summary 2. Analysis Overview 3. Evidential Matter 4. Assumptions 5. Key Factors 6. Inferences
