Conceptual Issues
2.1 Financial performance analysis.
Financial performance analysis of a company is very important to get an overall view
about an organization. It generally consists of interpretation of balance sheet and
interpretation of income statement. By using these two sources one can perform the ratio
analysis and trend analysis which are the major tools for analyzing the financial
performance of a Beximco Group.
2.2 Balance sheet.
In financial accounting, a balance sheet or statement of financial position is a summary of
the financial balances of a sole proprietorship, a business partnership or a company.
Assets, liabilities and ownership equity are listed as of a specific date, such as the end of
its financial year. A balance sheet is often described as a "snapshot of a company's
financial condition". Of the four basic financial statements, the balance sheet is the only
statement which applies to a single point in time of a business' calendar year. A standard
company balance sheet has three parts: assets, liabilities and ownership equity.
2.3 Income statement.
Income statement also referred as profit and loss statement, earnings statement, operating
statement or statement of operations is a company's financial statement that indicates how
the revenue is transformed into the net income. It displays the revenues recognized for a
specific period, and the cost and expenses charged against these revenues, including
write-offs (e.g., depreciation and amortization of various assets) and taxes. The purpose
of the income statement is to show managers and investors whether the company made or
lost money during the period being reported.
2.4 Ratio Analysis.
Ratio is a method of interpreting the financial statement of a company. The purpose of
ratio analysis is identifying the risk of business firm and the financial statement of a
business firm, performance evaluation, compare income analysis.
2.4.1 Groups of Financial Ratios:
Financial ratios can be divided into four basic groups or categories:
i. Liquidity ratios
4
i. Activity ratios
ii. Debt ratios &
iii. Profitability ratios
Liquidity, activity, and debt ratios primarily measure risk, profitability ratios measure
return. In the near term, the important categories are liquidity, activity, and profitability,
because these provide the information that is critical to the short-run operation of the
firm. Debt ratios are useful primarily when the analyst is sure that the firm will
successfully weather the short run.
2.4.1.1. Liquidity Ratio:
The liquidity of a business firm is measured by its ability to satisfy its short term
obligations as they come due. Liquidity refers to the solvency of the firm’s overall
financial position. The three basic measures of liquidity are-
2.4.1.1. A. Current Ratio:
One of the most general and frequently used of these liquidity ratios is the current ratio.
Organizations use current ratio to measure the firm’s ability to meet short-term
obligations. It shows the Beximco Group’s ability to cover its current liabilities with its
current assets.
Current Ratio = Current Asset/Current Liabilities
2.4.1.1. B. Quick Ratio:
The quick ratio is a much more exacting measure than current ratio. This ratio shows a
firm’s ability to meet current liabilities with its most liquid assets.
Quick Ratio=Cash + Government Securities + Receivable / Total Current Liabilities.
5
true liquidity. A number of ratios are available for measuring the activity of the important
current accounts which includes inventory, accounts receivable, and account payable. The
activity (efficiency of utilization) of total assets can also be assessed.
2.4.1.2. A Total Asset Turnover:
The total asset turnover indicates the efficiency with which the firm is able to use all its
assets to generate sales.
Total Asset Turnover = Sales/ Total Asset
2.4.1.2. B Investment to Deposit Ratio:
Investment to Deposit Ratio shows the operating efficiency of a particular Beximco
Group in promoting its investment product by measuring the percentage of the total
deposit disbursed by the Beximco Group as long & advance or as investment. The ratio is
calculated as follows:
Investment to Deposit Ratio = Total Investments / Total Deposits
6
Time Interest Earned Ratio=EBIT/ Interest
2.4.1.4. Profitability Ratio:
These measures evaluate the Beximco Group’s earnings with respect to a given level of
sales, a certain level of assets, the owner’s investment, or share value. Without profits, a
firm could not attract outside capital. Moreover, present owners and creditors would
become concerned about the company’s future and attempt to recover their funds.
Owners, creditors, and Management pay close attention to boosting profits due to the
great importance placed on earnings in the marketplace.

4.2 Analyzing Activity Ratios:
4.2.1 Cost Income Ratio:
Cost Income Ratio=Total operating Expenses/Total Operating Income
Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Interpretation:
We know that this ratio measures the operating efficiency of the Beximco Group by
measuring the portion if the total operating costs relative to the total operating income of
that Beximco Group and the higher the ratio, the lower the operating efficiency. In 2014
the operating cost of BEXIMCO GROUP Beximco Group Ltd. is low but after that year
2015 its decreasing and it’s a good sign for the organization. Cost income ratio increasing
15
from 2015 to 2018 which is 45.42% to 54.64% So it can be said that the operating
efficiency of the Beximco Groupis not in good position that is they are not able to
minimize their operating cost.
0.068 0.071
0.064 0.067
0.058
Interpretation:
The Beximco Groups total asset turnover ratio increasing from 2014 to 2017 that is
0.068- 0.067 which means 5.9 to 6.7 times.But in 2018 its decreasing. We know the
greater the total asset turnover; it is more efficient and 4 to 6 times is slandered position
16
but also depends on industry. From the analysis we have seen that total asset turnover of
Uttara Beximco Group Ltd is in good position.
Debt Ratio
0.94
0.92 0.92
0.91
0.9
Interpretation
Debt ratio decreasing from 2014 to 2015 which is 0.94 to 0.91 and its a good sign for the
organization. In 2016 its increasing although in 2017 its decreasing. After that year 2018
the debt ratio increasing .Finally we have seen that debt ratio decreasing from .95 to
17
0.92 .We knows that lower the debt lower the risk. So that is good sign for the
organization.
18
4.3.2 Equity capital ratio
Equity Capital Ratio = Total Shareholder’s Equity / Total Assets
Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
0.099
0.086 0.088
0.079
0.063
Interpretation
Equity capital ratio increasing from 2014 to 2018 which is .046 to .063 which means 4.6
to 9.9 times and thats a good sign for the organization. After that year 2018 equity capital
ratio decreasing and its not a good sign for the organization. From the analysis we have
seen that Beximco Group Equity Capital Ratio gradually increasing except 2018. So the
management of the organization should take proper steps to increase the equity capital.

4.4. Analyzing Profitability Ratios:
4.4.1 Investment to Deposit ratio:
0.379 0.381
0.278
0.221 0.228
Interpretation:
Investment to deposit ratio shows that which amount of deposit is used to as investment.
From the graphs it has seen that investment to deposit ratio in fluctuating mode. That
means BEXIMCO GROUP. depends on deposits than the share capital.

4.4.2 Net Profit margin:
Net Profit Margin (NPM After Tax) measures profitability as a percentage of revenues
after consideration of all revenue and expense, including interest expenses, non-operating
items, and income taxes.. The calculation is like-
NPM
0.35
0.28
0.24 0.25
0.17
Interpretation: Net profit margin is one of the most closely followed numbers in finance.
Shareholders look at net profit margin closely because it shows how good a company is at
converting revenue into profits available for shareholders. The Beximco Group net profit
margin in 2014-2015 that is 0.28-0.24 which indicates that profit margin is increasing day
by day and its good situation. Although in 2014 it’s decreasing but in 2016 Net Profit
Margin is increasing which is good sign for the organization. In 2017 to 2018, the profit
margin is decreasing and its not good situation.
21
measures the amount of profit the company generates as a percentage of the value of its
total assets. Return on assets is the ratio of annual net income to average total assets of a
business during a financial year. It measures efficiency of the business in using its assets
to generate net income. It is a profitability ratio. The calculation as follows:
ROA
1.95% 1.90%
1.69%
1.54%
0.99%
Comment: The ROA figure gives investors an idea of how effectively the company is
converting the money it has to invest into net income. The Beximco Groups return on
asset increasing from 2014 to 2015 which is 1.95% to 1.54% in the preceding 2 years and
it’s a good sign for the organization. The higher the ROA number, the better, because the
company is earning more money on less investment. After that it was decreasing(1.54%)
then it was increasing trend (1.90%) that means it has seen it is fluctuating. Afterwards
Beximco Group ROA fall down which is not good sign for the organization.
4.4.4 ROE:
22
Return on equity measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a
company generates with the money shareholders have invested.
The calculation of ROE is as follows:
ROE
30.86%
17.81% 17.13%
12.62%
9.27%
.Figure 3.9:ROE.
Comment: Return on equity is an important measure of the profitability of a company.
Higher values are generally favorable meaning that the company is efficient in generating
income on new investment. Return on equity or return on capital is the ratio of net income
of a business during a year to its stockholders' equity during that year. It is a measure of
profitability of stockholders' investments. It shows net income as percentage of
shareholder equity.The Beximco Groups return on equity increasing from 2014 to 2015
which is 30.86% to 17.81% in the preceding 2 years and the highest value can be
observed in 2014 and the lowest value can be observed during the 2016, which is not
desirable. The Beximco Groups return on equity decreasing from 2015 to 2016 that is
17.81% to 9.27% and its not a good sign for the organization. After that year 2017 its
increasing and in 2016 its again decreasing.

Recommendations & Conclusion
5.1 Recommendations
It is not unexpected to have problems in any organization. There must be problems to
operate an organization. The following commendations can be suggested to solve the
above-mentioned problems:
From the analysis we have seen that Beximco Group current ratio gradually
decreasing. So they should take steps to raise current assets for increasing
liquidation.
From the analysis we have seen ROA of BEXIMCO GROUP is fluctuating. So
they should try improving this and should take necessary steps to increase net
profit.
ROE are decreasing in preceding year 2007 to 2012.So they should try to improve
the return earned on total owner’s equity.
From the analysis we have seen that cost income ratio is increasing. BEXIMCO
GROUP Beximco Group Ltd. is not good position that is they are not able to
minimize their operating cost. So they should try minimize their operating cost
From the analysis we have seen that in 2008 to 2009 Beximco Group Earning per
Share is better than other two Beximco Groups, but in 2010 to 2012 it decreases.
So BEXIMCO GROUP should take necessary steps to increase common stock.

hold this situation Beximco Group should take step to decrease liabilities.
5.2 Conclusion
24
Beximco Group believes that being in the business which deals with human health makes
us more responsible. Products come in a wide range of dosage forms including tablets,
capsules, dry syrup, powder for suspension, cream, ointment, suppositories, metered dose
nasal sprays, large volume intravenous fluids, metered dose inhalers etc. ensuring the
global standard of quality. Bangladesh like all other industries is going to face new
challenges. Rising price of materials in the international market and higher domestic
inflation is going to be a big issue. Besides, competition in the local pharmaceuticals
market is expected to intensity further. Beximco has to be aware of those issues to
become a market leader in the industry. Though the sales revenue has decreased in the
last year due to various reasons, it has the ability to regain its glorious pasts and advanced
further.
The report mainly highlights the results of various ratio analysis of the company. In order
to make the analysis more informative, inter-firm comparisons have been provided by
also performing ratio analysis of other companies in Bangladesh. Costing procedure of a
Pharmaceuticals company is very important and vast thing. It needs to update in a regular
basis. Moreover, all Pharmaceuticals firms try to keep this information secret in this
competitive market. Like all other pharmaceuticals company Beximco follows standard
costing method for medicine productions. The unit price of each medicine is calculated by
batch wise.
