9 Profitability Analysis

10 Creditors Stockholders Managers Indicates potential for bonuses and incentive plans linked to performance. Indicates the ability to make required principal and interest payments. Indicates related stock price increases or dividends paid. Profitability Ratios – importance of Profitability

11 Liquidity Analysis Liquidity ratios assess the ability of a company to meet its immediate or short-term financial obligations. Failing to do so can result in additional expenses and, ultimately, bankruptcy. Receivables Turnover Ratio Quick Ratio Inventory Turnover Ratio Current Ratio

12 Liquidity Ratios

13 Solvency Ratios Solvency focuses on capital structure and assesses the extent of borrowing needed. - Debt to Equity Times Interest Earned Debt to Assets Ratio Solvency refers to a company’s ability to satisfy its long-term obligations.

14 Solvency Analysis

15 DuPont Analysis A DuPont analysis provides insight into how a company’s return on equity was generated by decomposing the return into three components: operating efficiency, asset effectiveness, and capital structure.

16 DuPont Calculation The higher the ratio, the more efficient a company is in turning sales into profits. The higher the ratio, the more a company is financing its assets with debt rather than equity (riskier). This is the leverage multiplier. The higher the ratio, the more effective a company is in generating sales given its assets.

17 Benefit of DuPont Analysis One of the main benefits of a DuPont analysis is the ability to ask what-if questions. ??? What if Best Buy was able to squeeze out another $.02 of profit on each dollar of sales? How would that affect the return to owners? Answer: 2008 return would increase to 0.407 (0.042 X 2.84 X 3.41). What if the market for electronics took a significant downturn and Best Buy was only able to generate sales of 1.5 times assets on hand? Would that significantly affect the return to investors? Answer: 2008 return would fall almost in half to 0.113 (0.022 X 1.50 X 3.41).
