Revisiting Financial Management 1: Financial Statement Analysis

Financial Statements Analysis involves careful selection of data from financial statements in order to assess and
evaluate the firm’s past performance, its present obligation, and future business potentials.

Financial statement analysis is the process of analyzing a company's financial statements for decision-making
purposes. External stakeholders use it to understand the overall health of an organization as well as to evaluate
financial performance and business value. Internal constituents use it as a monitoring tool for managing the
finances.

Objectives of Financial Statement Analysis


The primary purpose of FS Analysis is to evaluate and forecast the company’s financial health. Interested parties,
such as managers, investors, and creditors, can identify the company’s financial strengths and weaknesses and
know about the:
1. Profitability of the business firm;
2. Firm’s ability to meet its obligations;
3. Safety of the investment in the business; and
4. Effectiveness of management in running the firm.

General Approach to Financial Statement Analysis


1. Evaluation of the environment (industry and economy as a whole) where the company conducts business.
2. Analysis of the firm’s short-term solvency*
*Solvency- Ability of an entity to pay off its debts.
3. Safety of the investment in the business; and
4. Effectiveness of management in running the firm.

Problems and Limitations in Financial Statement Analysis


1. Comparison of data
a. Difference between companies – a ratio that is acceptable to one company may not be acceptable to
another when other factors are considered.
b. Differences in accounting methods and estimates
c. Valuation problem – financial statements are based on historical costs and therefore, do not reflect
the current market value of the firm’s assets. Moreso, the effects of price level changes must be
considered.
d. The timing of transactions and use if averages in applying the various techniques in FS Analysis affect
the results obtained.

2. The need to look beyond ratios


Ratios are not sufficient in themselves as basis for judgements about the future. Other factors must be
considered, such as:
a. Industry Trends
b. Changes in technology
c. Changes in consumer tastes
d. Changes in the economy as a whole
e. Changes that are taking place within the company itself

Steps in Financial Statement Analysis


1. Establish objectives of the analysis to be considered
2. Study the industry where the firm belongs
3. Study the firm’s background and the quality of its management.
4. Evaluate the firm’s financial statements using the evaluation techniques available.
5. Summarize the results of the studies and evaluation conducted.
6. Develop conclusions relevant to the established objectives.

Techniques Used in Financial Statements Analysis


1. Horizontal Analysis (Trend ratios and percentages)
– It involves comparison of figures shown in the financial statements of two or more consecutive
periods. The difference between the figures of the two periods is calculated, and the percentage change
from on period to another period to the next is computed using the earlier period as the base.
Formula:
Percentage Change = Most Recent Value – Period Value
Base Period Value
2. Vertical Analysis (Common-size statements)
-The process of comparing figures in the financial statements of a single period. It involves
converting of figures in the statements to a common base. This is accomplished by expressing all
the figures in the statements as percentages of an important item such as total assets (in the
balance sheet) or total or net sales (in the income statement). These converted statements are
called common size statements or percentage composition statements.

Example: CCH Corporation


Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the Year Ended December 31, 20X1
20X1 Percent
Sales P 3,280 100%
Less: Cost of Sales 2,120 64.63%
Gross Income 1,160 35.37%
Less: Operating Expenses 350 10.67%
Selling Administrative 420 12.80%
Total Operating Expenses P 390 11.90%

Less: Interest Expense 30 0.9%


EBT 360 10.98%
Less: Income Tax 126 3.84
Net Income P 234 7.13%

PERCENTAGE COMPUTED AS:

COST OF SALES: (COST RATE)


2,120/3,280 = 64.63%

GROSS INCOME: (GROSS PROFIT RATE)


1,160/3,280 = 35.37%

OPERATING EXPENSES:
350/3,280 = 10.67%

SELLING ADMINISTRATIVE:
420/3280 = 12.80%

TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES: (NET INCOME FROM OPERATION / EARNINGS BEFRORE INTEREST AND TAXES)
390/3280 = 11.90%

INTEREST EXPENSE:
30/3280 = 0.9%

EBT: (EARNINGS BEFORE TAX)


360/3280 = 10.98%

INCOME TAX:
126/3280 = 3.84%

NET INCOME:
234/3280 = 7.13%

3. Ratio Analysis
Ratios are calculated from the financial statements to provide users of such statements with relevant
information about the firm’s liquidity, use of leverage, asset management, cost control, profitability,
growth, and valuation.

A. Liquidity Ratios – provide information about the firm’s ability to pay its current obligations and
continue operations. Measures the short-term debt paying ability.

Current Ratio – Measures short term debt paying ability


Acid Test – Measures the immediate short-term liquidity
B. Leverage Ratios – measure the company’s use of the debt to finance assets and operations.
Finance Leverage (trading on equity) – the use of debt to finance assets and operations; it is advisable
to trade on equity when earnings from borrowed funds exceed the cost of borrowing.

-As leverage increases, the risk borne by creditors, as well as the risk that the firm may not be able to
meet its maturing obligations, increases.

-Since interest expense is tax deductible, leverage increases the company’s return when it is profitable.
**Solvency is the ability of a company to meet its long-term debts and financial obligations.
Solvency can be an important measure of financial health, since its one way of demonstrating a
company’s ability to manage its operations into the foreseeable future. (GOAL CONCERN
ASSUMPTION)

KEY INGREDIENTS OF SOLVENCY


1. Capital Structure – the sources of financing (DEBT / EQUITY)
2. Equity (the risk capital of the firm) – the ownership interest in the firm
3. Debt – the interest of creditors in the firm.

C. Cost Management Ratios- measure how well a firm controls its costs.
D. Profitability Ratios –
measures earnings in
relation to some base,
such as assets, sales, or
capital.

Financial Position
E. Solvency Ratios-
measures of the ability
of the enterprise to

Income for the year 2020.
Sales 350,000.00
Sales Discounts 20,000.00
Sales Returns 30,000.00
It also has reported total Assets of 800,000 pesos for the year 2020 (ENDING BALANCE) while its assets in 2019
was 680,000 pesos (BEGINNING BALANCE). As the consultant of DDS Inc., what is the Asset Turnover?

ASSET TURNOVER = NET SALES / AVERAGE ASSETS


=350,000 / [(680,000 + 800,000) / 2]
= 350,000 / (1,480,000 / 2)

Problem 5(Return on Assets 1)


Bong Gotohan Corp.’s net income last year is P65,000 and its interest income expense was P15,000. Total assets the
beginning of the year were P620,000 and total assets at the end of the yeat was P650,000. Bong Gotohan’s income
tax rate was 40%. The company’s return on total assets or the year is?
CCH

RETURN OF ASSETS = NET INCOME (ADJUSTED INCOME) / AVERAGE TOTAL ASSETS


= (65,000 + 9,000) / [(620,000 + 650,000) / 2]
= 74,000 / 635,000
= 11.65%
INTEREST x (1 – TAX RATE)
15,000 x (1 – 40%)
15,000 x 60%

Gross Margin 260,000
Selling and administrative expenses (110,000.00)
Net operating Income 150,000
Interest Expense (30,000.00)
Net Income before Taxes 120,000
Income Tax (30%) (36,000) -
Net Income After Taxes 84,000 -

The beginning balance of total assets was P650,000 and the ending balance was P580,000. As the consultant of
MokaPeyk News, what is the return on total assets (RoA)?

RETURN ON TOTAL ASSETS = 84,000 / [(650,000 + 580,000) /2)


= 84,000 / 615,000
= 13.65% / 13.66%

Interest Rates

I. Fundamentals of Interest Rate:

Interest rate or the required rate of return represents the cost of money.
Interest rate is usually applied to debt instruments such as bonds and bank loans.
Required rate of Return is usually applied to equity investments such as common stock capital (ordinary share
capital)

II. Factors that Influence The Equilibrium Interest Rate

1. Inflation:
Sources: 1
Fundamentals of Financial Management by Brigham and Houston 13th Edition
Financial Management by Gitman
Basic Finance by Besley and Brigham 2013-2015 Edition
CCH

A rising trend in prices of goods and services. Typically, savers demand higher interest
returns (interest rates) when inflation is high because they want their investments to
more than keep pace with the rising prices.

2. Risk:
When people perceive that a particular investment is riskier, they will expect a higher return on that
investment as compensation for bearing the risk.
**Risk: In financial market context, the chance that a financial asset will bot earn the
return promised.

3. Liquidity Preference (Time Preference For Consumption):


The term liquidity preference pertains to the general tendency of investors to prefer shot-term securities
(more liquid)

4. Production Opportunity
The higher the expected return on the investment would be, the more the investor could
afford to offer potential investors their savings.

Real Rate of Interest – Rate that creates equilibrium between the supply of savings and the demand for
investment funds in a perfect world, without inflation, where suppliers and demanders of funds have no liquidity
preferences and there is no risk.

Nominal or Actual Rate of Interest (Return)


The actual rate of interest charged by supplier of funds and paid by the demander (Just like in
Intermediate/Financial Accounting, the Nominal Rate is the Stated Interest which could be seen in the contract
agreed upon by the debtor and the creditor)

The nominal rate of interest differs from the real rate of interest, r*, as a result of two factors, inflation and risk.
When people save money and save it, they are sacrificing consumption today (that is, they are spending less than
they could) in return for higher future consumption. When

Sources: 2
Fundamentals of Financial Management by Brigham and Houston 13th Edition
Financial Management by Gitman
Basic Finance by Besley and Brigham 2013-2015 Edition
investors expect inflation to occur, they believe that the price of consuming goods and services will be higher in
the future than in the present.

When investors expect inflation to occur, they believe that the price of consuming goods and services will be
higher in the future than the present. Therefore, they will be reluctant to sacrifice today’s consumption unless the
return they can earn on the money they save (or invest) will be high enough to allow them to purchase the
goods and services they desire at higher future price.

(Meaning, Investors will require higher nominal rate of return if they expect inflation, the
higher rate of return is called INFLATION PREMIUM{IP})

Similarly, investors generally demand higher rates of return on risky investment as compared to
safe ones. Otherwise, there is little incentive for investors to bear the additional risk. Therefore,
investors will demand a higher nominal rate of return in risky investment. This additional rate
of return is called the RISK PREMIUM{RP}

Formula of Nominal Interest:

R1= R* + IP + RP1
NOMINAL INTEREST = NOMINAL RATE + INFLATION PREMIUM + RISK PREMIUM

Illustrative Problems:
Candy Corporation has a budget of P100,000 to buy its premium candies which are to be resold to its consumers.
Candy Corporation’s supplier offers them a price of 25 pesos for each candy. The accounting manager currently
ponders if he is to invest the P100,000 on a 1-year deposit, it will earn 7%. The current inflation rate is 4%.

Questions:
1. How many candies should Candy Corporation buy, if the accounting manager decides
not to invest the P100,000?

100,000 / 25 = 4,000

2. How much would Candy Corporation earn if the accounting manager opted to save the
P100,000 in the company’s deposit for a year?

(100,000 x 7%) x 100,000 = 170,000

3. How much would the candies cost after a year?

25 x 1.04 = 26
4. How much would be the effect of the inflation to the candies’ cost?

(26 – 25) / 25 = 0.04

5. What is the real rate of return? (Show two analysis)

a. [(107,000 / 26) – 4000] / 4,000 = 0.0288 / 3%


b. 7% - 4% = 3%

III. Term Structure of Interest Rates


Term Structure of Interest Rates
- The relationship between the maturity and rate of return for bonds with similar
levels of risk.
Yield Curve
- A graphic depiction of the term structure of interest rates.
Yield to maturity
- Compound annual rate of return earned on a debt security purchased on a given
day and held to maturity.
Inverted Yield Curve
- A downward-sloping yield curve indicates that short-term interest rates are
generally higher than long-term interest rates.
Normal Yield Curve
- An upward-sloping yield curve indicates that long-term interest rates are generally
higher than short-term interest rates.
Flat Yield Curve
- A yield curve that indicates that interest rates do not vary much at different
maturities.
Expectations Theory
- The theory that yield curve reflects investor expectations about future interest
rates; an expectation of RISING interest rates results in an upward-sloping yield
curve, and an expectation of DECLINING rates results in a downward-sloping yield
curve.

Theories of Term Structure


Three theories are frequently cited to explain the general shape of the yield curve:
1. The expectations theory
2. The liquidity preference theory
3. Market Segmentation Theory

Expectations Theory
- Suggests that the yield curve reflects investor expectations about future interest
rates. According to this theory, when investors expect short-term interest rates to
rise in the future (perhaps because investors believe that inflation will rise in the
future), today’s long-term rates will be higher than current short-term rates, and
the yield curve will be upward sloping. The opposite is true when investors expect
declining short-term rates- today’s short-term rates will be higher than current
long-term rates, and the yield curve will be inverted.

Liquidity Preference Theory


- Theory suggesting that long-term rates are generally higher than short-term rates
(hence, the yield curve is upward sloping) because investors perceive short-term
investments to be more liquid and less risky than long-term investments to be more
liquid and less risky than long-term investments. Borrowers must offer higher rates
on long-term bonds to entice investors away from their preferred short-term
securities.
Market Segmentation Theory
- Theory suggesting that the market for loans is segmented on the basis of
maturity and that the supply of and demand for loans within each segment
determine its prevailing interest rate; the slope of the yield curve is
determined by the general relationship between the prevailing rates in each
market segment.

IV. RISK PREMIUMS: ISSUER AND ISSUE CHARACTERISTICS

R1= r* + IP +RP1
RP1 – the risk premium consists of a number of issuer and issue related components, including business
risk, financial risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and tax risk, as well as the purely debt-specific risks-
default risk, maturity risk and contractual provision risk.

In general, the highest risk premiums and therefore the highest returns result from securities issued by
firms with a high risk of default and from long-term maturities that have unfavorable contractual
provisions.

Default Risk – The possibility that the issuer of debt will not pay the contractual interest or principal as
scheduled. The greater the uncertainty as to the borrower’s ability to meet these payments, the greater
the risk premium. High bond ratings reflect low default risk, and low bond ratings reflect high default risk.

Maturity Risk – the fact that longer the maturity, the more the value of a security will change in response
to a given change in interest rates. If the interest rates on otherwise similar-risk securities suddenly rise as
a result of a change in the money supply, the prices of long-term bonds will decline by more than the
prices of short-term bonds, and vice- versa.

Contractual Provision Risk – Conditions that are often included in a debt agreement or a stock issue.
Some of theses reduce risk, whereas others may increase risk. For example, a provision allowing a bond
issuer to retire its bonds prior to their maturity under favorable terms increases the bond’s risk.
