" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

The global industrial fasteners market size was valued at USD 86.12 billion in 2020 and isexpected
to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.1% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing
production of industrial machinery and components is expected to increase over the forecast
period.

Fasteners have demand across major sectors including automotive, construction, machine
manufacturing, electronics, shipbuilding, and railways. A rise in production of commercial aircraft
owing to an increase in the number of air passengers across the globe has pushed the demand for
specialty-grade fasteners.

The major reason for this growth can be attributed to the increasing number of construction
activities and growing automobile manufacturing in countries like China and India. Europe is one of
the largest markets for industrial fasteners apart from being the second largest industrial fasteners
manufacturing region in the world. However, lack of product differentiation and elasticity of prices
of raw materials such as alloys, stainless steel and copper are hindering the growth of the market.
The industry is strongly tied to the production of automobiles, aircrafts, appliances, agriculture
machinery, commercial construction, and infrastructure. More than billion fasteners are used each
day in the US with over 26 billion by the automotive industry. Increasing sale of automobiles in
India is driving the growth of the auto ancillary market in the country, including automobile sector-
specific fasteners. Growing usage of fasteners for manufacturing automotive parts such as engines,
chassis, molding, suspension system and wheels amongothers, is expected to drive the growth of
the Indian industrial fasteners market during theforecast period.

Introduction

A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together.
Fasteners can also be used to close a container such as bag, box, or an envelope or they may involve
keeping together the sides of an opening of flexible material, attaching a lid to a container etc.
There are also special purpose closing devices e.g., bread clip. Fasteners used in these manners
are often temporary; they may be fastened and unfastened repeatedly.

Global Business School,Hubli 5

products Pvt Ltd"

There are three major steel fasteners used in industries:


• Stainless steel
• Carbon steel
• Alloy steel
Fastener Standards & Traceability:
• Socket cap, shoulder, set screws, and Hex keys.
• Wood Screws (inch series).
• Slotted head cap screws, square head set screws, and slotted headless set screws.
• Machine screws, tapping screws, and metallic drive screws.
• Quality assurance for fasteners.

Brief History of the Fasteners


▪ 1840 - Rugg and Blames of Marion Connecticut is the pioneer of the North American fastener
industry.
▪ 1969 - North American fasteners had grown about 450 fasteners companies producing two
billion fasteners a year.
▪ 1984 - Only 250 fasteners companies remained due to major invasion of foreign fasteners at
significantly lower prices.
▪ In 2005, it was estimated that the United States fastener industry runs 350 manufacturing
plants and employs 40,000 workers. The industry is strongly tied to the production of
automobiles, aircraft, appliances, agricultural machinery, commercial construction, and
infrastructure. More than 200 billion fasteners are usedper year in the U.S, 26 billion of these
by the automotive industry. The largest distributor of fasteners was North America. When
selecting a fastener for industrial applications, it is important to consider a variety of factors.
The threading, the appliedload on the fastener, the stiffness of the fastener, and the number of
fasteners needed should all be taken into account.

16th 1990. The FQA enactment has been amended three times to furtherclarify and define the
requirements of the original act. They protect the public safety by:
1. Requiring that certain fasteners sold in comers conform to the specification to which they
are represented to be manufactured
2. Providing for accreditation of laboratories engaged in fasteners testing
3. Requiring inspection, testing and certification in accordance with standardized methods.

" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied

1.Impact of leverage on profitability of selected companies in Indian cement


industry.
Autor: - REKHA MOCHI
Journal: - BBSSES
Year: - 2018
The primary goal of the study was to determine whether financial leverage had a favourable
association. For the data analysis in the study, correlation analysis was performed. In this study,
financial performance—as measured by ROA, ROE, sales growth, net profit, margin, and
EPS—serves as the dependent variable and financial leverage serves as the independent
variable. Using debt can have either a beneficial or bad effect on financial performance. Debt
equity ratio and earnings per share have a negative connection, indicating that when debt
grows, interest costs rise along with it, lowering earnings per share. The company's net profit
margin demonstrates how any new revenue has an impact on its bottom line. Because most of
the company's income are utilized to pay off the loans, the negative relationship between the
debt equity ratio and net profit margin ratio shows that as debt increases, net profit decreases.

This study examines the effect of leverage on the earnings per share (EPS) of certain steel
companies listed on the BSE. Leverage is a crucial element that influences the firm's
profitability, which in turn impacts the wealth of the shareholders. According to this study's
findings, there is a bad relationship between DOL, DFL, and DCL and EPS. Companies may
use a greater proportion of fixed costs and debt in their capital structures and business
operations. Only after that, regardless of the many conditions impacting the firms, can they
increase size and sales. (V.KALPANA, 2014)

The objective of the current study is to examine the effects of financial leverage and liquidity
on financial performance and to explore the relationship between liquidity and profitability.
The study's findings indicate that a company's capital structure is influenced by its liquidity,
which is reflected in its continued capacity to meet financial obligations. The firm's leverage
decreases as its liquidity increases and vice versa. (Kothari)

The Cost of Debt is not much impacted by profitability. This can happen because businesses
would rather employ internal cash (their own capital) than loans. The corporation chooses

internal funding, which forces it to use little or no external capital at all. The Cost of Debt is
significantly influenced by leverage. This is possible because a company's debt service costs
increase in direct proportion to its DER ratio. Companies that borrow money are responsible
for paying both the interest and the loan's principal. (Utami, 2021)

According to the study's findings based on fixed effect estimation, all five of the model's
explanatory variables—firm size, growth, non-debt tax shields, profitability, and asset
tangibility—have a substantial and significant impact on a company's level of leverage. The
positive impact of business size and tangibility and the negative impact of firm growth and
profitability on leverage support earlier studies' findings as well as the predictions of capital

The capital structure choices made by 107 Indian non-financial listed companies are the main
subject of this study. It has been noted that a firm's capital structure is significantly influenced
by its profitability, size, potential for growth, and degree of uniqueness. Nonetheless, it is not
discovered that liquidity or solvency influence leverage choices. Remarkably, judgements
about corporate taxes and collateral capacity—measured by the tangibility of assets—were
likewise found to have no discernible impact on capital structure choices. Additionally, it is
emphasised that a large-sized company will have lower leverage since, if necessary, it can
access the equity market at a much more affordable rate. (Rani, 2016)

return on equity (ROE), and net profit margin (NPM)—are used to assess the financial
performance that is taken into account as a dependent variable. In the companies under
investigation, profit margin ratios, return on equity, and return on assets are the three financial
performance indicators that are not impacted by financial leverage.2. There is no correlation

" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

Leverage
A company can raise the fund required for investment either by increasing owner's claims or
the creditor's claim or both. The claims of the owner's increases when the company raises the
fund buy issuing equity shares or ploughs back its earnings. The claims of the creditors increase
when the funds are raised by borrowings. The various means used to raise the funds represent
the financial or the capital structure of the company.

The financing or capital structure decision is of tremendous significance for the management,
since it influences the debt-equity mix of the company, which ultimately affect shareholder's
return and risk. In case the borrowed funds are more as compared to the owner’s funds, it results
in increase in shareholder's earning together with increase in their risk. This is because the cost
of borrowed fund is less than that of shareholder's fund on account of the cost of borrowed fund
being allowable as a deduction for income tax purpose. But at the same time, the borrowed
fund carries a fixed interest, which has to be paid whether the company is earning profit or not.
Thus, the risk of the shareholders increases in case there is high proportion of borrowed funds
in the total capital structure of the company. In a situation where the proportion of the
shareholder's fund is more that the proportion of the borrowed fund, the return as well as the
risk of shareholders will be much less.

MEANING OF LEVERAGES

The dictionary meaning of the term leverage refers to "an increased means of accomplishing
some purpose." For example, leverages help us in lifting heavy objects, which may not be
otherwise possible. However, in the area of finance, the term leverage has special meaning. It
is used to describe the firm's ability to use fixed cost asset or funds to magnify the return to its
owners.

James Horne has defined leverage as "The employment of an asset or funds on which the firm
pays a fixed cost or fixed return". Thus, according to him, leverage is the result of the firm
employing an asset or a source of fund which has a fixed cost or return is the fulcrum of
leverage. If a firm is not required to pay fixed cost or fixed return, there will be no leverage.

Global Business School, Hubli 37


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

Since fixed cost or return has to be paid or incurred irrespective of the volume of output or
sales, the size of such cost or return has considerable influence over the amounts of profit
available for the shareholders When the volume of sales changes, leverage helps in quantifying
such influence. It may, therefore, be defined as the relative change profit due to change in sales.
A high degree of leverage implies that there will be a large change in profit due to relatively
small change in sales and vice-versa. Thus, higher the leverage, higher is the risk and higher is
the expected return.

TYPES OF LEVERAGES
Leverages are of three types:
1. Operating leverage
2. Financial leverage
3. Composite leverage/Combined leverage

1.Operating Leverage
Operating leverage may be defined as the tendency of the operating profit to vary
disproportionately with sales. It is said to exist when a firm has to pay the fixed cost regardless
of volume of output or sales. The firm is said to have a high degree of operating leverage if it
employs a greater amount of fixed cost and a smaller amount of variable costs. On the other
hand, a firm will have a low operating leverage when it employs a greater amount of variable
costs and smaller amount of fixed cost. On the other hand, a firm will have a low operating
leverage when it employs a greater amount of variable cost and a smaller amount of fixed costs.
Thus, the degree of operating leverage depends upon the amount of fixed element in cost
structure.

Operating leverage in a firm is a function of the following three factors:


1. The amount of fixed cost
2. The contribution margin
3. The volume of sales
Of course, there will be no operating leverage, if there are no fixed operating costs.

Global Business School, Hubli 38


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

The Operating Leverage can be calculated by following formula:

Formula:
Operating Leverage = 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ÷ 𝐄𝐁𝐈𝐓

Or

𝐃𝐎𝐋 = 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭 ÷ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬

Utility: -
Operating leverage indicates the impact of change in sales of operating income. If a firm has
high degree of operating leverage, small changes in sales will have large effect on operating
income. In other words, the operating profit (EBIT) of such a firm will increase at a faster rate
than the increase in sales. Similarly, the operating profit of such a firm will suffer a greater loss
as compared to reduction in its sales.

Generally, the firm does not like to operate under condition of high degree of operating
leverage. This is a very risky situation Can be excessively damaging to the firm's effort to
achieve profitability.

2.Financial Leverage

Financial leverage may be defined as the tendency residual net income to very
disproportionately with operating profit. It indicates the change that takes place in the taxable
income as a change of result in operating income. It signifies the existence of fixed interest
fixed dividend bearing securities in the total capital structure of the company. Thus, the use of
fixed interest/dividend bearing securities such as debt & preference capital along with the
owner's equity in the total capital structure of the company, the fixed interest/dividend bearing
securities are greater as compared to the equity capital, the leverage is said to be larger. In a
reverse case the leverage will be said to be smaller.

Formula:

Financial Leverage = 𝐄𝐁𝐈𝐓 ÷ 𝐄𝐁𝐓

Global Business School, Hubli 39


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

OR

𝐃𝐅𝐋 = 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐏𝐒 ÷ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐁𝐈𝐓

Utility:
Financial leverage helps the financial manager considerably while devising the capital structure
of the company. A high financial leverage means high fixed financial cost and high financial
risk. A Financial manager must plan the capital structure in a way that the firm is in a position
to meet its fixed financial costs. Increase in the fixed financial cost requires necessary increase
in EBIT level. In the event of failure to do so, the company may be technically forced
into liquidation.

3. Composite leverage

As explained in the preceding pages, operating leverage measures percentage changes in


operating profit due to percentage changes in sales. It explains the degree of operating risk.
Financial leverage measures the percentage change in taxable profit (or EPS) on account of
percentage change operating profit (i.e., EBIT). Thus, it explains the degree of financial risk.
Both these leverages are closely concerned with the firm's capacity to meet its fixed costs (both
operating & financial). In case both the leverage is combined, the result obtained will disclosed
the effect of change in sales over change in taxable profit (or EPS).

Composite leverage thus expresses the relationship between revenue on account of sales (i.e.
contribution or sales less variable cost) and the taxable income. It helps in findings out the
resulting percentage change in taxable income on account of percentage change in sales.

Formula:

Composite Leverage = Operating Leverage × Financial Leverage

Significance of leverage
Operating leverage and financial leverage are the two quantitative tools used by the financial
expert to measure the retums to the owners (viz EPS) and the market price of the equity shares.
The financial leverage is considered to be the superior of these tools, since it focuses the
attention on the market price of the shares which the management always tries to increase by
increasing the Net worth of the Firm. The management for this purpose resorts to trading on
equity because when there is increase in EBIT then there, I corresponding increase in the price
of equity shares. However, a firm cannot go on indefinitely raising the debt content, in the total
capital structure of the company, if a firm goes on employing greater proportion of debt capital,
the marginal cost of debt will also go on increasing because the subsequent lenders will demand
higher rate of interest. The company's inability to offer the subsequent assets as security will
also stand in the way of further employment on debt capital. Moreover, a firm with widely
fluctuating cannot afford to employ a high degree of financial leverage.

A company should try to have balance of the two leverages because they have got tremendous
acceleration deceleration effect on EBIT and EPS. It may be noted that a right combination of
these leverages is a very big challenge for the management. A proper combination of both
operating & financial leverages is a blessing for firm's growth, while an improper combination
may prove to be curse.

Global Business School, Hubli 41


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

A high degree of operating leverage makes the position of firm very risky. This is because on
the one hand on the one hand it is employing excessively assets for which it has to p pay fixed
cost and at the same time it is using a large amount of debt capital. The fixed cost towards using
assets and fixed interest charges bring a greater risk to the firm. In case the earning falls, the
firm may not be in a position to meet its fixed cost. Moreover, greater fluctuation in earnings
is likely to occur on account of the existence of a high degree of operating leverage. Earnings
to the equity shareholders will also fluctuate widely on account of existence of a high degree
of financial leverage. The existence of a high degree of operating leverage will result in a more
than proportionate change in EPS even on account of small changes in EBIT. Thus, a firm has
high degree of financial leverage and high degree of operating leverage has to face the problems
of inadequate liquidity or insolvency in one or the other year. It does not, however, mean that
a firm should opt for low degree of operating & financial leverage.

Of course, such lower leverages indicate the caution policy of the management. But the firm
will be losing many profit earnings opportunities. A firm should, therefore, make all possible
efforts to combine operating & financial leverage in a way that suits the risk bearing capacity
of the firm.

It may be observed that the firm with the high operating leverage should not have a high
financial leverage. Similarly, a firm having low operating leverage will stand to gain by having
a high financial leverage provided it is enough profitable opportunities for the employment of
borrowed fund. However, low operating leverage is considered to be an ideal situation for the
maximization of profit with minimum of risk.

LEVERAGE RATIO

1. Interest Coverage Ratio:

Creditors and investors use this computation to understand the profitability and risk of a
company. The interest coverage ratio is a financial ratio that measure a company’s ability to
make a interest payments on its debt in a timely manner. Unlike the debt service coverage ratio
this liquidity ratio rally has nothing to do with being able to make principle payments on the
debt itself instead in calculates the firm ability to afford the interest on the debt.

2. Return on Equity (ROE) Ratio

Return on equity or return on capital is the ratio of a business during a year to its stockholder’s
equity during that year. It is a measure of profitability of stockholder’s investments. It shows
net income as percentage of shareholders equity.

ROE is indicators of how effective management is using equity financing to fund operations
and grow the company. Return on equity is an important measure of the profitability of a
company. Higher value of generally favorable meaning that the company is efficient in

3. Debt-Equity Ratio:

Debt to equity ratio is long term solvency ratio that indicates the soundness of long-term
financial policies of a company. Its shows the relation between the portion of assets financed
by creditors and the portion of assets financed by stock holders. As the debt-to-equity ratio

4. Shareholder’s equity ratio

Global Business School, Hubli 43


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied

Shareholders equity is the difference between total assets and total liabilities. It is also the share
capital retained in the company in addition to the retained earnings minus the treasury shares.
Shareholders equity is the amount that shows how the company has been financed with the
help of common shares and preferred shares. Shareholders equity is also called share capital,
stockholder’s Equity or Net worth.

There are two important sources from which you can get shareholder’s equity. The first source
is the money originally invested in the company and all the other investments that are made in
the company has retained over a period of time though its operations.

5. Return on total assets ratio

The return of on total asset (ROTA) is a ratio the measure a company’s earnings before interest
and taxes (EBIT) again its total net assets. The ratio is considered to be an indicator of how
effectively a company is using its assets to generate earnings before contractual obligation must
be paid. The return on assets ratio is a profitability ratio that measures the net income produced
by total assets. In other words, the return on assets ratio or ROA measure how efficiently a
company can manage its assets to produce a profit during a period.

Formula:
ROA = NET PROFIT ÷ TOTAL ASSETS×100

1. Liquidity Ratios
The liquidity ratios measure the liquidity of the firm and its ability to meet its maturing
short-term obligations. Liquidity is defined as the ability to realize value in money, the
most liquid of assets. It refers to the ability to pay in cash, the obligations that are due.
Types of liquidity ratios are,
• Current Ratio
• Quick Ratio

Global Business School, Hubli 44


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied
products Pvt Ltd"

➢ Current Ratio
This ratio measures the solvency of the company in the short-term. Current assets are those
assets which can be converted into cash within a year. Current liabilities and provisions are
those liabilities that are payable within a year. A current ratio of 2:1 indicates highly solvent
position.

Formula

𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨 = 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 ÷ 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬

➢ Quick Ratio

Quick ratio is used as a measure of the company’s ability to meet its current obligations. Since
bank overdraft is secured by the inventories, the other current assets must be sufficient to meet
other current liabilities. A quick ratio of 1:1 indicates highly solvent position. This ratio serves
as a supplement to the current ratio in analysing liquidity.
Formula

products Pvt Ltd"

Findings
• The company's operating leverage has changed over the years, with a high DOL in 2018-
2019 and a subsequent decrease in the other years. These variations in operating leverage
indicate potential shifts in the company's risk exposure and sensitivity to changes in its
sales performance.

leverage seems to have experienced adjustments during the specified time frame.

the company exhibited high operating and financial leverage, leading to a very high degree
of combined leverage. This implies that the company's earnings are significantly sensitive
to changes in both sales and financing costs. There have been variations in the company's
risk profile, as reflected in changes in the degree of combined leverage.
• The analysis of Fasteners and Allied Products Pvt Ltd. Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) in
the year 2018-2019 reveals a relatively tight ability to cover interest payments, as the

expense.

Equity, with an increase from 1.50% in 2018-2019 to 4.46% in 2022-2023. This
improvement reflects enhanced profitability and more efficient utilization of shareholder
equity, signaling positive outcomes for shareholders and indicating positive trends in the
company's financial performance.

from 0.71377 in 2018-2019 to 0.36426 in 2022-2023. This reduction indicates a shift

Equity Ratio over the specified period. In the year 2018-2019, the ratio was 0.763,

Global Business School, Hubli 59


" A study on leverages and its effects on performance of the company at Fasteners and allied

Assets, indicating increased efficiency in generating profits from its total assets.

is found to be not satisfactory because the company has been consistently below the ideal
benchmark throughout the given years.

short-term obligations without relying on inventory. The statement notes a slight decrease in the

Suggestions
• Company must work on balance of debt to equity because we can see that continuous
fluctuation in debt equity ratio. It is not good for organization so management need to
maintain constant debt to equity ratio.
• Evaluate the impact of operating leverage on overall business risk and explore strategies to
optimize the balance between risk and profitability.
• Company needs to work on maintaining its quick assets and quick liability because
company is not in position to meet its quick obligations.
• Company must revise its existing “cost control policy” so as to maximize operating profits
and there by increase its market value.
• Periodically assess working capital needs to maintain liquidity and meet short-term
obligations comfortably.
