Basically, the methodology used to prepare this report is based upon primary and
secondary data as well. The methodology entitled in the following topics is used for my
analysis.
1.6.1 Type of Research
Research refers to systematic and objectives attempt, which is used to study a problem
for the purpose of driving general principal. The investigation has been guide by
previously collected information and aims to add to the body of knowledge on the
subject. The types research is Descriptive Research Design. Descriptive research is a
study designed to depict the participants in an accurate. Descriptive research is used to
describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied.
Since this is research based on secondary data only, for this research 28
commercial banks are regarded as population out of which only one bank, Himalayan
Bank Ltd., is taken as sample. Thus, it is based on the convenience sampling.
Primary data:
The data, which are originally collected by an investigator or an agent for the first time
for the purposes of statistical enquiry, are known as primary data. Primary data is the data
originated for the first time by the researcher through direct efforts and experience,
specially for the purpose of addressing his research problem. The data can be collected
through various methods like surveys, observation, case studies etc. However, no primary
data has been used in this study.
Secondary data :
Data that are originally collected but obtained from some published or unpublished
source are known as secondary data. This type of data isn’t original in character. But the
secondary sources are the main in this study gathered for analysis and interpretation. The
source of data and information are as follows:
Annual report of Himalayan Bank
Newspapers, Magazine
Website of Himalayan Bank
Website of Google
Website of Wikipedia
Website of Nepal Rastra Bank
In this project work, secondary data will be used. Such data can be obtained through
secondary sources
Secondary data can be obtained from published and unpublished sources. Those data
which are published by other organization in the form of reports and publications like
government reports, publications report of NGOs and INGOs, report of private
organizations such as report of FNCCI, chamber of commerce, and Trade promotion
center are published sources of secondary data. And unpublished sources are dissertation
os students and research report of freelancer researchers.
As it was hard to collect primary data so all the data abstract for the report are of
secondary types. Secondary data are collected from annual report. So by direct visit to
organization, search from internet are the main way of data collection for this study.
This study is confined to examine effects of working capital of Everest Bank. Therefore,
the data have been collected accordingly and managed, analyzed and presented in
suitable tables and diagrams. Such presentation have been interpreted and explained
wherever necessary. The data were analyzed using the following financial tools and
statistical tools.
Financial tools are those, which are used for the analysis in interpretation of financial
data. These tools can used to get the precise knowledge of a bank, which in turn, are
meaningful in finding the result the profitability of a bank.
Net income is a company’s total earning (or profit) net income is calculated by taking
revenues and subtracting the cost of doing business such as depreciation, interest, tax and
other expenses. This numbers appears on the company’s income statement and is an
important measure of how profitable the company is over a period of time. Net income al
so refers to an individual’s .
2. Return on Assets:
Net Income
ROA = × 100%
Total Assets
3. Return on Equity
Return on Equity (ROE) is ratio that concerns a company’s equity holders the most since
it measures their ability of earning return on equity investments. ROS may increase
dramatically without any equity addition when it can simply benefit from a higher return
helped by a larger assets base. As a company increases its asset size and generates better
return with higher margins, equity holders can retain much of the return growth when
additional assets are the result of debt use.
Formula
Net Income
Return on equality= ×100 %
Total Equality
Earnings per share are generally considered to be the single most important variable in
determining a share’s price. It is also a major component used to calculate the price-to-
earnings valuation ratio.
Formula:
The main important tool to achieve the objectives of this is Statistical Tools. These tools
are useful to find the profitability of the bank. In this study, statistical tools such as bar
diagram have been studied.
1.7 Limitations
None of the study can go beyond the boundary of some limitations and this study is also
not an exception. This study is basically based on secondary data. The study is mainly
focused on balance sheet and income statement maintained by banks published in annual
reports, where the information’s were given in condensed form. The period coverage by
the study extends over 5 years 2069/068 to 2073/074 because at the time of conducting
the present study, the data could be available up to 2073/074 only. The data of 2074/075
could not be obtained, as the year is running and there has not been audited, thus there
may be a chance of failing to the address the recent current situation. The following are
the major limitations of the study:
In this study, only selected financial tools, statistical tools and techniques are
used.
CHAPTER -II
RESULT AND ANALYSIS
Analysis of data is the process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming and modelling data
with the goal of discovering useful information, suggestion conclusion and supporting
decision making. The purpose of analyzing the data is to change it from an unprocessed
form to an un standard able presentation. Raw data conveys little information as such. It
must be complied, analyzed and interpreted carefully before its full meaning and
implication can be understood. The data thus transformed into information. This process
of transforming data is called analysis. The most valuable and crucial tool and to show
the true position of any organization is its past data. By analyzing the past data, one can
identify the actual internal problems or limitation of the organization. This chapter is
basically concerned with presentation and analysis of data. The figure of data is in rupees.
Data presentation and analysis is an important aspect of any kind of report writing.
The examination and interpretation of data to draw conclusion by using different research
tools as we already state on research methodology chapter.
The above table clear shows the total assets and net income of HBL shows increasing
trend for last five years. The net income is 943,697,990 and total assets is
61,113,501,223 in 2069/70 then it increases to 959,107,241 in net income and
73,589,845,698 in total assets in 2070/71 and again increases to 1,112,285,716 in net
income and 82,801,550,614 in total assets in 2071/72. In 2072/73 net income is
1,935,907,634 and 107,225,479,966 total assets.
Return on assets is also called return on investment. This ratio establishes the relationship
between net profit and total assets or investment. The real return on assets is the net
earning available to owners and interest to lenders on assets are financed by both owners
and creditors. The objective of measuring this ratio is to find out profitability of the total
assets.
(Appendix- I)
The above table clear shows the ROA of HBL shows increasing trend for last five years.
It is 1.5442% in fiscal year 2069/70 then it decreases to 1.3033% in fiscal year 2070/71
and increase to 1.3433% in 2071/72 again increases to 1.9386% in 2072/73 and finally
reach to 2.309% in the fiscal year 2073/74. Te Return on assets of HBL is in increasing
way up to four year. This calculation can be shown in the graph as follows.
This ratio finds how efficiently the funds contributed by shareholders have been used. It
shows the relationship between net profit after tax and shareholder’s fund. It can be
ascertained with the help of following formula:

From above table we found in the year 2069-70 the ROE is 17.81 % then it decline to
15.7659% in 2070/71 and then it increased to 15.9836% in 2071/72 and again increases
to 21.9397% in 2072/73 and finally it decreases to 18.6091% in 2073/74. The above
calculations are in the graph as follow:
Figure no. 2 Bar diagram showing return on equity
In the above figure, it directly shows the ROE of HBL is fluctuating yearly where it
shows that last year ROE decreases but previously it was in increasing trend. In last year,
ROE increases more as compared to previous four year which effect top decline in ROE
of HEL.
. It shows the profitability of the firm on per equity share basis. It is computed as:
As in the above figure, EPS of HBL in year 2072/73 seems to be highest and rest other
seems to approximately equal.
During this study many information related to the income and profitability of the HBL
have been found. The problem faced by the bank in current days regarding to the earning
have been explored and analyzed. Here, the finding of above calculations are pointed out:

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This chapter is focused on the findings and conclusions obtained from the study of
financial performance of commercial banks: A case study of ‘Himalayan Bank Limited’.
This chapter is comprised of two sections, the first sections deals with the summary of the
study: the second section draws the conclusion of the study.
3.1 Summary
Nepal is a developing country, which started its economic development plans and
policies more than four decades ago and has adopted the economic development plans
through liberalization recently. The policy of liberalization that the government adopted
after restoration of democracy in 1990 calls for primitive and facilitative role of the
government together with its strict regulatory functions. The subject matter of the
economic development has been limited due to variety of geographical structural and
economic constraints. The economic growth of a country can’t imagine without financial
institutions.
Commercial banks play a vital role as a financial institution which plays a quite important
role of every economy by providing capital for the development of industry trade and
business. Commercial bank pools between savers and users thereby raising employment
opportunity. Besides the economic contribution commercial banks are also recognizes its
social responsibilities by contributed to various social and welfare organization. The
major income source of bank is interest which depends upon the deployment of available
resources. The bank generally deployed their resource for the purpose of liquidity,
lending and investing in securities. So the overall profitability of bank depends on
lending procedure, lending policy and investment policy. The main objective of the study
is to evaluate the financial performance of HBL. The study is mostly based on secondary
data and required data have been collected by using various sources.
There are many commercial banks operating in Nepal which are taken as population of
the study among them HBL has been taken as a sample of the study and collected data
has been analyzed by using various statistical and financial tools. Himalayan Bank is one
of the well-established commercial bank in Nepal. HBL is able to maintain its position as
market leader in the banking sector and there is ongoing effort and commitment in
enhancing its financial position.
3.2 Conclusion
On the basis of major findings of study some conclusion has drawn about the HBL. Profit
planning and controlling system of HBL is not satisfa.ctory in the first fiscal year of the
study is satisfactory on the basis of ROA and ROE .because the ratios are negative in that
fiscal year. But after first year ROA an.d. ROE is not satisfactory as increase in assets
and equity didn’t give that much return as previous.
The result of the study shows that the overall performance of HBL is not satisfactory and
progressive because the bank use more external fund to repay its borrowing. There is the
declination of faith of customers the bank because of its heavy investment on non-
performing assets.
Finally, the research report is concluded with the above mentioned major findings,
discussions, conclusions and implications.
