Financial statement analysis
Ratio analysis: it is important to be able to analyse a firm’s financial statements and
compare them to other firms
- Profitability ratios
- Market value ratios
- Liquidity ratios (short/long term)
- Financial leverage ratio
- Turnover ratio
Profitability ratios:
Profit margin = net income / sales operating efficiency
Return on asset = net income / total assets asset use efficiency
Return on equity = net income / total equity equity efficiency
Financial leverage:
Debt-equity ratio = debt / equity
Total debt ratio = debt / (equity + debt) = debt / total assets
Equity multiplier = total assets / equity
Market value ratios:
EPS (earnings per share) = net income / shares outstanding
PE (price/earnings) ratio = price per share / EPS
, The Du Pont identity (long form):
ROE = return on equity
ROE is affected by:
- Operating efficiency
- Asset use efficiency
- Financial leverage
The Du Pont identity (short form):
ROE = ROA (return on assets) x assets / equity
The time value of money
Future value and compounding:
- Future value (FV) the amount an investment is worth after one or more
periods
- Time convention: we are at the end of year 0, next year is end of year 1
Investing for more than one period:
Vt(time) = V0 (1 + r) t
Vt = value after t periods
R = interest rate
Principle: original amount invested
Simple interest: interest earned only on the original principal amount invested
interest made on the original investment
Compound interest: interest earned on both the principal and the interest reinvested
from prior periods
