Chapter 3: Financial Statement Analysis
Purpose of the Chapter:
How analysts use historical financial statements in financial statement analysis.
Calculate and interpret operating, credit, and investment ratios.
Prepare a trend analysis of a company’s financial ratios.
How analysts use financial statement analysis to help prepare a valuation forecast.
The cautions analysts must consider when using financial statement analysis.
Financial statement analysis are used to weigh and evaluate the operating performance of a firm. It
access the profitability of the business firm, the firm’s ability to meet its obligations, safety of the
investment in the business and effectiveness of management in running the firm.
Tools and techniques in analysing financial statement.
1. Horizontal Analysis – involves comparing figures in two or more consecutive period. The
difference between the figures of the two periods is calculated and the percentage of
change from one period to the next, with the earliest period as the base.
Example: 2017 2018 %change
Sales 10,000 15,000 50%
Increases are usually reflected with a positive % of change and decreases are usually
reflected with a negative () % of change.
a. Trend Analysis – a more advance form of Horizontal Analysis. Trend Analysis needs at
least 5 – 10 years of experience in order to determine the trend for a particular account,
unusual changes are not reflected in the trend. The firm will then compare the financial
statement for a given year, based on the trend with that of the actual financial
statement of the firm.
Analysis: Net Income Decreases by 42.29% as a result of decrease in sales of 5%, though
Cost of Goods Sold decreases by 1.49% it didn’t equal the decrease of 5% in sales (possible
scenarios are: The volume of sale decreases and cost to produce one unit increases or
Selling Price decreases as a result of decreasing the cost of goods sold) and Total operating
expenses decreases by 3.49%.
2. Vertical Analysis – involves comparing figures in financial statements of a single period. The
base for income statement is the revenue/sales and the base for balance sheet is the total
assets/ total liabilities and equity. Vertical Analysis are effective when comparing two or
more companies.
Example: A firm’s salaries expense is 60% of revenue while another firm’s salaries expense
is 70% of revenue.

Chapter 3: Financial Statement Analysis

Purpose of the Chapter:  How analysts use historical financial statements in financial statement analysis.  Calculate and interpret operating, credit, and investment ratios.  Prepare a trend analysis of a company’s financial ratios.  How analysts use financial statement analysis to help prepare a valuation forecast.  The cautions analysts must consider when using financial statement analysis. Financial statement analysis are used to weigh and evaluate the operating performance of a firm. It access the profitability of the business firm, the firm’s ability to meet its obligations, safety of the investment in the business and effectiveness of management in running the firm.

Tools and techniques in analysing financial statement.

  1. Horizontal Analysis – involves comparing figures in two or more consecutive period. The difference between the figures of the two periods is calculated and the percentage of change from one period to the next, with the earliest period as the base. Example: 2017 2018 %change Sales 10,000 15,000 50% Increases are usually reflected with a positive % of change and decreases are usually reflected with a negative () % of change. a. Trend Analysis – a more advance form of Horizontal Analysis. Trend Analysis needs at least 5 – 10 years of experience in order to determine the trend for a particular account, unusual changes are not reflected in the trend. The firm will then compare the financial statement for a given year, based on the trend with that of the actual financial statement of the firm. Analysis: Net Income Decreases by 42.29% as a result of decrease in sales of 5%, though Cost of Goods Sold decreases by 1.49% it didn’t equal the decrease of 5% in sales (possible scenarios are: The volume of sale decreases and cost to produce one unit increases or Selling Price decreases as a result of decreasing the cost of goods sold) and Total operating expenses decreases by 3.49%.
  2. Vertical Analysis – involves comparing figures in financial statements of a single period. The base for income statement is the revenue/sales and the base for balance sheet is the total assets/ total liabilities and equity. Vertical Analysis are effective when comparing two or more companies. Example: A firm’s salaries expense is 60% of revenue while another firm’s salaries expense is 70% of revenue.

At the bottom of the analysis, note that net income, as a percentage of sales, declined by 2.62 percentage points (6.67 percent to 4.05 percent). As a dollar amount, net income declined by 14,096 (33,333 to 19,237). Management should consider both the percentage change and the dollar amount change.

  1. Ratio Analysis – different ratios are computed to access the performance of the firm.

Financial statement ratios are categorized into four (3).

a. Liquidity ratios – allows the firm to measure its ability to pay its current obligations. b. Solvency ratios – allows the firm to measure its ability to pay long-term obligations. It access the firm’s ability to exist in the long run (going concern). c. Profitability ratios – allows the firm to measure its ability to earn an adequate return on sales, total assets and invested capital. It allows the firm to access if its capital is earning effectively through operations. Usually the firm’s rate of return is compared to a highest risk-free rate of return of an investment that is available in the market

Liquidity Ratios:

  1. Current ratio – also called the working capital ratio, measures the number of times that the current liabilities can be paid with the available current liabilities. Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities Formula is: Current Ratio = Current Assets Current Liabilities Example: If Current Assets is 1,000,000 and Current Liabilities is 200,000. Then: Current Ratio = 1,000,000= 5 200, Which means that the current liabilities can be paid 5 times until the current assets are exhausted. Current Ratio roughly defines the short term debt-paying ability of the firm
  2. Acid test ratio – also called the quick asset ratio, because not all asset can pay current liabilities, like prepaid expenses, quick asset considers only the part of current liabilities that are nearly converted into cash. The quick assets are: Cash and cash equivalent, trading securities and receivables. Formula is: Acid test ratio = Cash & Cash Equivalent + Trading Securities + Receivables Current Liabilities Example: If Cash is 150,000, Short term Investment is 200,000 and Accounts Receivable is 400,000 and Current Liabilities is 200,000. Then: Acid test ratio = 150,000 + 200,000 + 400,000 = 3. 200, Acid test ratio is stricter than current ratio. Acid test ratio does not include inventory and prepaid expense, because inventory needs to be sold then collected first before it can be used to pay debts and prepaid expenses will never be converted to cash while short term investments can be immediately sold through active market and accounts receivable can be used to finance short term debt through pledging and factoring.

Average Trade Payables = Beginning Payables + Ending Payables 2 Example: If Net Credit Purchase is 500,000 and Average Trade Payables is 200,000. Then: Accounts Payable Turnover = 500,000 = 2.5 times 200, f. Average Age of Trade Payables = at an average how many days will it take for payables to be paid. Formula is: Average age of Inventory = 365 days Inventory Turnover In the Previous Example, Average age of Inventory = 365 = 146 days

At an average it takes 146 days for accounts payable to be paid. Cash Conversion Cycle – The length of time for cash used to purchase inventory to be converted back to cash. Cash Conversion Cycle = Ave. Age of Receivable + Ave. Age of Inventory – Ave Age of Payable The acceptable liquidity ratios depends on the accepted standard of the entity but in no case should it be lower than one (1). A liquidity ratio of less than one indicates that the entity is no longer liquid. A very high liquidity ratio may indicate that the entity might not be utilizing its assets efficiently, To avoid underutilization of asset, the entity can either choose to expand their business, establish a new project or purchase long-term assets.

Solvency Ratios:

  1. Times Interest Earned – Determines the company’s ability to cover its interest expense Formula is: Times Interest Earned = Income before interest and tax Interest Expense Example: Income before interest and taxes is 500,000 while interest expense is 250,000. Then: Times Interest Earned = 500,000 = 2 times 200, Times Interest Earned shows if your earnings are beings used up to pay interest. If a company has less than one (1) times interest earned, then the entities earnings are actually not enough to cover the interest of loans. If a company has low times interest earned (depends on the standard of the company) most operating income are used to pay interest. High times interest earnings is desired.
  2. Debt-equity ratio – Ratio of Debt to Equity Formula is: Debt-equity ratio = Total Liabilities Total Equity Example: If Total Liabilities is 300,000 and Total Equity is 100,000. Then: Debt-Equity Ratio = 300,000 = 3 100, Debt-equity ratio compares the ownership of creditors to the total asset, a very high debt- equity ratio shows that if the entity is liquidated, most of assets are actually used to pay liabilities, while a minimal amount goes to the owner.
  3. Debt Ratio – Indicates the percentage of total assets provided by creditors. Formula is: Debt ratio = Total Liabilities Total Assets

Example: If Total Liabilities is 300,000 and Total Assets is 400,000. Then: Debt Ratio = 300,000 = 75% 400, Debt Ratio shows the percentage of ownership of creditors to the total asset, in the example in shows that 75% of the total asset belongs to the creditors

  1. Equity Ratio – Indicates the percentage of total assets provided by the owners or stockholders. Formula is: Equity ratio = Total Equity Total Assets Example: If Total Equity is 100,000 and Total Assets is 400,000. Then: Equity Ratio = 100,000 = 75% 400, Equity Ratio shows the percentage of ownership of shareholders to the total asset, in the example in shows that 25% of the total asset belongs to the shareholders. Equity Ratio + Debt Ratio = 100% Profitability Ratio:
  2. Rate of Return – also known as return on investment Formula is: Rate of Return = Net Income Investment
  3. Return on Sales – measures the percentage of each peso revenue that results in net income Formula is: Return on Sales = Net Income Net Sales
  4. Return on Asset – it measures how assets were efficiently used to produce the sales or revenue Formula is: Return on Asset = Net Income Average Total Asset
  5. Return on Owners’ Equity – measures the percentage of net income to capital Formula is: Return on Equity = Net Income Average Equity
  6. Return on Common Equity – measures the percentage of return to common equity after deducting the dividends for preference stock. Formula is: Rate on Common Equity = Net Income – Preferred Dividends Average Common Stockholders’ Equity
  7. Basic Earnings Power Ratio - ratio is a measure that calculates the earning power of a business before the effect of the business' income taxes and its financial leverage. Formula is: Basic Earnings Power Ratio = Net Income Before Interest and Taxes Average Common Stockholders’ Equity
  8. Earnings per share Formula is: Earnings per share = Net Income – Preferred Dividends Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

  11. When analyzing revenue growth in trend analysis, often the analyst will not only look at overall revenue growth rates but also at revenue growth by business segment.
  12. Cause-of-action analysis is a special kind of evaluation in which the reasons for a change in a specific item over some period are identified.
  13. In cross-sectional analysis, we compare two or more companies using financial ratios, and we may also compare the companies’ ratios to an industry average.
  14. In doing ratio analysis, we must recognize that different firms provide different levels of disclosure. Exercise 2: Multiple Choice
