Financial statement analysis and interpretation What is financial statement analysis? Examining the financial statements from a users’ perspective and looking at relationships in the accounting information
Financial statement analysis and interpretation Who analyzes financial statements? – Internal users (i. e. , management) – External users (emphasis of chapter) • Examples? • Investors, creditors, regulatory agencies & … • stock market analysts and • auditors
Financial statement analysis and interpretation • What do internal users use it for? Planning, evaluating and controlling company operations • What do external users use it for? Assessing past performance and current financial position and making predictions about the future profitability and solvency of the company as well as evaluating the effectiveness of management
Financial statement analysis and interpretation Information is available from – Published annual reports • • • Financial statements Notes to financial statements Letters to stockholders Auditor’s report (Independent accountants) Management’s discussion and analysis – Reports filed with governments
Financial statement analysis and interpretation Information is available from – Other sources • • Newspapers Periodicals Financial information organizations Other business publications
Methods of financial statement analysis • Horizontal analysis • Vertical analysis • Ratio analysis • Common-size statements • Trend percentages
Horizontal analysis Using comparative financial statements to calculate currency or percentage changes in a financial statement item from one period to the next
Vertical analysis For a single financial statement, each item is expressed as a percentage of a significant total, e. g. , all income statement items are expressed as a percentage of sales
Ratio analysis Expression of logical relationships between items in a financial statement of a single period (e. g. , percentage relationship between revenue and net income)
Common-size statements Financial statements that show only percentages and no absolute currency amounts
Trend percentages Show changes over time in given financial statement items (can help evaluate financial information of several years)
Horizontal analysis example The management of Example Company provides you with comparative balance sheets of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Management asks you to prepare a horizontal analysis on the information
Horizontal analysis example
Horizontal analysis example Calculating change in currency amounts Money amount change = Current year figure Previous year – figure
Horizontal analysis example Calculating change as a percentage Percentage change = Money amount change Previous year figure × 100%
Horizontal analysis example
Horizontal analysis example (11, 500 ÷ 23, 500) × 100% = 48. 9%
Horizontal analysis example
Horizontal analysis example Let’s apply the same procedures to the liability and stockholders’ equity sections of the balance sheet
Sales increased by 8. 3% while net income decreased by 21. 9%.
There were increases in both cost of goods sold (14. 3%) and operating expenses (2. 1%). These increased costs more than offset the increase in sales, yielding an overall decrease in net income.
Vertical analysis example The management of Sample Company asks you to prepare a vertical analysis for the comparative balance sheets of the company
Vertical analysis example
Vertical Analysis Example 82, 000 ÷ 483, 000 = 17% rounded 30, 000 ÷ 387, 000 = 8% rounded
Vertical analysis example
Vertical analysis example 76, 000 ÷ 483, 000 = 16% rounded
Ratios can be expressed in different ways: 1. Ratio (e. g. , current ratio of 2: 1) 2. % (e. g. , profit margin of 2%) 3. $ (e. g. , EPS of $2. 25) CAUTION! Using ratios and percentages without considering the underlying causes may lead to incorrect conclusions
Categories of ratios • Liquidity ratios Indicate a company’s short-term debt-paying ability • Debt & Equity ratios (Long-term Solvency) Show relationship between debt and equity financing in a company • Profitability ratios & tests Relate income to other variables • Market ratios & tests Help assess relative merits of stocks in the marketplace
Liquidity ratios ¶Current (working capital) ratio ·Quick ratio (‘acid test’) ¸Liquid (cash) ratio ¹Accounts receivable turnover ºNumber of days sales in accounts receivable » Inventory turnover l. Total assets turnover
Debt & Equity ratios (long-term Solvency) ¼Debt to Equity ratio or Debt to TOTAL ‘long term’ funds (D+E) l. Equity ratio (stockholders’ equity)
Profitability ratios & tests ½Return on capital employed ROCE (ie. return on ‘operating assets’ ¾Net income to net sales (return on sales or ‘net profit margin’) ¿Gross profit percentage l. Return on equity ROE (ie. common stockholders equity)
Market ratios & tests l. Earnings per share – Times interest earned – Times preferred dividends earned – Earnings yield on common stock l. Price-earnings ratio – Payout ratio on common stock – Dividend yield on preferred stock – Cash flow per share of common stock
Ratios Now, let’s look at Aspect Corporation’s 2012 and 2011 financial statements
This Information will be used to calculate liquidity ratios for Aspect Co.
Working Capital* The excess of current assets over (ie. minus) current liabilities • While this is not a ratio, it does give an indication of a company’s liquidity
Current ratio Current Ratio = Current Assets Current Liabilities Current Ratio = 65, 000 42, 000 = 1. 55 : 1 Measures the ability of the company to pay current debts as they become due
Quick ratio Quick Ratio Current Assets - Inventory = Current Liabilities = 65, 000 - 12000 = 1. 26 : 1 42, 000 = 53, 000 42, 000 This ratio is often and confusingly also referred to as the “acid-test” = 1. 26 : 1
Liquid (‘acid-test’) ratio Acid-test = ratio Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets Current Liabilities 30, 000 42, 000 =. 71 : 1 Liquid assets are cash, and current marketable securities
Accounts receivable turnover Average, net accounts receivable Net, credit sales Accounts receivable turnover = Accounts receivable = turnover Sales on Account Average accounts receivable 494, 000 (17, 000 + 20, 000) ÷ 2 This ratio measures how many times a company converts its receivables into cash each year = 26. 70 times
Number of days in accounts receivable days sales in accounts receivables = = 365 Days Accounts receivable turnover 365 days 26. 70 times = 13. 67 days Measures, on average, how many days it takes to collect an account receivable What would be a desirable number of days for collection of accounts receivable ?
Inventory turnover = = Cost of Goods sold Average inventory 140, 000 (10, 000 + 12, 000) ÷ 2 = 12. 73 times Measures the number of times inventory is sold and replaced during the year What would be a desirable number of times for inventory to turnover ?
Debt to Equity, or long–term Solvency ratios This is part of the information to calculate the equity, or long-term solvency ratios of Aspect Corporation
Here is the rest of the information we will use
Debt to Equity ratio Debt to = Equity Long term Debt Total Assets 70, 000 234, 390 Measures the ‘risk’ = 0. 30
Equity ratio Equity = ratio Equity Total assets 234, 390 346, 390 Measures the proportion of total assets provided by stockholders = 67. 7%
Return On Capital Employed ROCE = = ROCE = Earning Before Interest and Tax Equity + Debt (average) PBIT Equity + Debt (average) 76, 700 346, 390 = 22. 1%
Net Income to Net Sales (Return on Sales or Profit Margin) Net Income = to Net Sales net income net sales Net Income = to Net Sales 53, 690 494, 000 = 10. 9% Measures the proportion of the sales dollar which is retained as profit
Return on Equity ROE (return on common stockholders funds) Return on equity funds Return on equity = net income Common equity (average) 53, 690 = (180, 000 + 234, 390) ÷ 2 = 25. 9% Important measure of the income-producing ability of a company
Earnings Per Share Earnings = per Share Earnings Available to Common Stockholders Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding Earnings 53, 690 = per Share (17, 000 + 27, 400) ÷ 2 = $2. 42 The financial press regularly publishes actual and forecasted EPS amounts
Earnings Per Share • Weighted average calculation Earnings available to common stockholders EPS of common stock = ____________ Weighted average number of common shares outstanding
Earnings Per Share EPS and Stock Dividends or Splits Why restate all prior calculations of EPS? Comparability - i. e. , no additional capital was generated by the dividend or split Basic EPS and Diluted EPS IAS 33
Price-Earnings Ratio ( P/E Multiple ) Price-Earnings = Ratio Market Price Per Share EPS Price-Earnings = Ratio $20. 00 $ 2. 42 = 8. 3 : 1 Provides some measure of whether the stock is under or overpriced
Trend Percentages Example Wheeler, Inc. provides you with the following operating data and asks that you prepare a trend analysis
Trend Percentages Example Wheeler, Inc. provides you with the following operating data and asks that you prepare a trend analysis 1, 991 - 1, 820 = 171
Trend Percentages Example Using 2008 as the base year, we develop the following percentage relationships 1, 991 - 1, 820 = 171 ÷ 1, 820 = 9% rounded
Trend line for Sales
Important Considerations • Need for comparable data – Data is provided by the media etc. – Must compare by industry – Is EPS comparable? • Influence of external factors – General business conditions – Seasonal nature of business operations
