Importance of Financial Statement Analysis
- Financial statement analysis is crucial for evaluating a company's financial performance and position
- It helps stakeholders, including investors, creditors, and analysts, make informed decisions
- Enables comparison between companies and industries, facilitating benchmarking and performance evaluation
Types of Financial Statement Analysis
- Horizontal Analysis: compares line items over time to identify trends and changes
- Vertical Analysis: expresses each item as a percentage of a base item, such as sales
- Ratio Analysis: calculates financial ratios to assess performance and position
Financial Ratios
Liquidity Ratios
- Current Ratio: calculates a company's ability to pay short-term debts, calculated as current assets / current liabilities
- Quick Ratio: measures a company's ability to pay short-term debts with liquid assets, calculated as (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
Profitability Ratios
- Gross Margin Ratio: measures profit margin, calculated as (revenue - cost of goods sold) / revenue
- Return on Equity (ROE): measures profitability from shareholders' perspective, calculated as net income / total equity
Efficiency Ratios
- Asset Turnover Ratio: measures asset utilization, calculated as revenue / total assets
- Inventory Turnover Ratio: measures inventory management efficiency, calculated as cost of goods sold / average inventory
Solvency Ratios
- Debt-to-Equity Ratio: measures leverage, calculated as total debt / total equity
- Interest Coverage Ratio: measures ability to pay interest expenses, calculated as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) / interest expenses
Limitations of Financial Statement Analysis
- Based on historical data, which may not reflect future performance
- Subject to accounting estimates and biases
- Ignores non-financial factors, such as management quality and industry trends
Tools and Techniques
- Financial Statement Analysis Models:
- DuPont Analysis: breaks down ROE into three components
- Economic Value Added (EVA) Analysis: measures profitability and value creation
- Benchmarking: compares a company's performance to industry averages or best practices
