 Financial Analysis
Liquidity Ratio:
 Current Ratio: This ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current
liabilities.
Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current Liabilities

Industry average = 4.1 times

Year 2007- 2008- 2009- 2010- 2011-2012

2008 2009 2010 2011
Ratio(Times) 1.06 0.99 1.07 0.94 0.89

Analysis: Current assets normally include cash, accounts receivables and

inventories. Current liabilities includes accounts payables, short term notes
payables and others accrued expenses. Current ratio shows us how much current
liabilities are covered by assets expected to be converted into cash in the near
future.
Compare with industry average: Here we calculate current ratios of five years of
‘Prime Textile’. Those are shown in the table above, we can see the ratios are very
low and also some of the ratios are below 1.0.Whereas industry average is
4.1times, all five years current ratios are below than 1.5 times. So the company’s
liquidity position is very weak. It needs almost whole assets to cover the liabilities.
To save the company from this difficult situation, it needs to convert the
inventories into cash.
Also in year 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 the ratio is equal to 0.9, which suggest
current liabilities cannot be covered if exiting current assets are liquidated at their
book values. However if the firm manufactures and sells a substantial amount of
inventory for cash long before suppliers, employees and short-term creditors need
to be paid, then it really does not face a liquidity problem.

As the graph shows the current ratio was low from the beginning and still
decreasing though it should have been increased for the better position of the
company.

 Quick Ratio: The ratio is calculated by deducting inventories from the

current assets and dividing the result by current liabilities.
Current Assets − Inventories
Quick Ratio =
Current Liabilities

Industry average= 2.1 times

Year 2007- 2008- 2009- 2010- 2011-2012

2008 2009 2010 2011
Ratio(Times) 0.49 0.51 0.39 0.31 0.43

Analysis: As we know inventories are the least liquid asset of a firm’s current
assets, also they are the assets on which losses are most likely to occur. So the
measure of the firm’s ability to pay off short term obligations without relying on
the sale of the inventories is important.
Compare with industry average: If we compare five years quick ratios of ‘Prime
Textile’ with the industry average, we get a very poor result of ‘Prime Textile’.
Where the industry average is 2.1 times, the ‘Prime Textile’ quick ratio is below
than 1.0time each year. So in this situation the company should try to collect its
account receivables as soon as possible so that it can pay off its current liabilities
even without having to liquidate its inventories.

As the graph shows the ratio has decreased from the year 2007-08 though it should
have been increased for the better condition of the company and the ration is lower
than the industry average as well.
Evaluation of the liquidity ratios: Prime Textile’s last five years liquidity
position is very poor. To overcome this situation, company must need to examine
the asset management.

Asset Management Ratios

 Inventory Turnover Ratio: The ratio calculated by dividing cost of goods

sold by inventories.
Cost of good sold
Inventory Turnover Ratio =
Inventory

Industry average=7.4 times

Year 2007- 2008- 2009- 2010- 2011-2012

2008 2009 2010 2011
Ratio(Times) 2.46 2.56 2.06 2.84 2.21

Analysis: Inventory Turnover ratios of ‘Prime Textile’ for the last five years are
very low compare with the industry average 7.4 times. That means ‘Prime Textile
is holding excessive stocks of inventory; excess stocks are, of course, unproductive
and represent an investment with a low or zero rate of return. So this company
should utilize its inventory in proper way.

Industry average= 32.1 Days

Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

Analysis:
The company is taking a lot of time to convert account receivables into cash and it
is not very good sign for the company.

As the graph shows the DSO of the company is fluctuating a lot every year and
most of the times it is very much high and so which is not good for the company
because it shows that the company is not getting there receivable back at times.
 Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio: The ratio of sales to net fixed assets.

Net Fixed Assets

Industry Average= 4.0 Time

2008 2009 2010 2011
Ratio(Times) 0.99 0.57 0.50 0.75 0.63

Analysis: If we see last five yearsfixed assets turnover ratio, each year the ratios
are very low compare with the industry average 4.0 times. So from this analysis we
can say ‘Prime Textile’ is not efficiently managing their fixed assets. Company
should increase its sale, using fixed assets efficiently. We also see that every year’s
fixed assets turnover ratios are much closed to each other; from this we can say it’s
an alarming situation for the company.

Ratio(Times) 0.10 0.56 0.48 0.75 0.62

Analysis: ‘Prime Textile’ company’s last five years asset turnover ratios are again
very low compare with the industry average 2.1times, that indicating that the
company is not generating a sufficient volume of business given its investment in
total assets. To become more efficient, sales should be increased, some assets
should be disposed of, or both of these steps should be taken.

Debt Management Ratio
 Debt Ratio: The ratio of total debt to total assets. It measures the percentage
of the firm’s assets financed by borrowings.
Total Debt
Debt Ratio =
Total Assets

Industry average= 45%

Year 2007- 2008- 2009- 2010- 2011-2012
2008 2009 2010 2011
Ratio(Percent) 56.23% 52.90% 45.36% 47.70% 61.08%

Analysis: Total debt includes both current liabilities and long-term debt. If we
analysis last five years debt ratio of ‘Prime Textile’ we will see it changes its debt
amount almost every year. In 2009-2010 debt ratio was 45.36% what is almost
near too industry average 45% as well as in year 2010-2011 the debt ratio was also
good. But in the other years the ratios were higher than industry average, which
means more than 50% of total financing are given by the creditor, which is not
good for the organization. ‘Prime Textile’ might find it difficult to borrow
additional funds without first raising more equity through a stock issue. ‘Prime
Textile’ should decrease its debt and increase its total assets and also the accounts
receivables should covert into cash as soon as possible.

The debt ratio was not that bad at in the first 4years but at the last year it has

company.
Profitability Ratio
 Net Profit Margin Ratio: The net profit margin on sales, which gives the
profit of sales.

Ratio(Percent) 2.11% 3.46% 2.95% 3.56% 2.51%

Analysis: Each five years profit margin is below the industry average of 4.7%,
including that its sales are too low, its costs are too high or both. In the previous
debt ratio we see the company has a large amount of borrowings, so a large amount
of interest cost occurs. To overcome from this situation company’s accounts
receivables should collect as soon as possible.

Ratio(Percent) 2.70% 1.93% 1.42% 2.67% 1.59%

Analysis: Compare to industry average 12.6%, the ROA of ‘Prime Textile’ for the
last five years are very poor. This low result from the company’s using excess
debt. Company’s current assets should convert into cash to raise net income.

ROA is very low comparing to the industry average. It is not good for the

Ratio(Percent) 6.20% 2.23% 1.67% 3.00% 1.73%

Analysis: The industry average of ROE is 17.2%, where the five years ROE of
‘Prime Textile’ is very low. From this analysis we can say Prime Textile
Company’s equities are not being properly invested so its net income is not
increased. So the company should investigate its investments for increasing their
net income.

The ROE in 2008-08 was 6.20 but still far away from the industry average but

after a certain period it is going down at regular basis.
