RATIO ANALYSIS BEFORE DISCLOSURE OF SCANDAL
LIQUIDITY MEASURES:

As the name suggests, short-term solvency ratios as a group are intended to provide information on the firm’s
liquidity. The primary concern is to measure the firm’s ability to pay its bills over the short run without undue
stress.

Current Ratio:

An indication of a company's ability to meet short-term debt obligations; the higher the ratio, the more liquid the
company is. Current ratio is equal to current assets divided by current liabilities. If current liabilities exceed
current assets, then the company may have problems meeting its short-term obligations.

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liability

Table 1: Current Ratio

Current Assets (Rs. In Current Liabilities Current Ratio

Year Crores) (Rs. In Crores)
2003-04 2,595.52 353.59 4.827

2005-06 4,473.26 707.27 5.203
2006-07 6,003.75 1041.75 3.61

Interpretation:

Here, the current ratio fluctuates from year to year about the value of 4. If the current assets of a company are
more than twice the current liabilities, then that company is generally considered to have good short-term
financial strength. Thus, Satyam’s balance sheets indicated good financial strength up till the year 2008.
Quick Ratio:

Liquid ratio is also known as ‘quick’ or ‘Acid test ‘ratio. Liquid assets refer to assets which are quickly
convertible into cash. Current Assets other stock and prepaid expenses are considered as quick assets. The ideal
liquid ratio accepted ‘norm’ for liquid ratio ‘1’.

Quick Ratio = Total Quick Assets/ Total Current Liabilities

Quick Assets = Total Current Assets (minus) Inventory

Table 2: Quick Ratio

Current Assets (Rs. in Current Liabilities Quick Ratio

2003-04 939.02 194.53 4.827
2004-05 1324.09 262.87 5.037
2005-06 2266.99 435.71 5.203
2006-07 2243.02 621.3 3.61
2007-08 3366.51 896.46 3.755

Intrepretation:

Satyam, being a software company has zero inventories. Hence current ratio is equal to quick ratio for Satyam.
ASSET MANAGEMENT / TURNOVER MEASURES:

These ratios are intended to describe how efficiently, or intensively, a firm uses its assets to generate sales.

Asset Turnover Ratio = Total Revenue / Total Assets

Table 3: Asset Turnover Ratio

Total Revenue Total Assets Asset Tuenover Ratio

Year (Rs. In Crores) (Rs. In Crores)

2005-06 5,011.39 4,347.99 1.15
2006-07 6,409.29 5,803.15 1.10
2007-08 8,392.71 7,381.31 1.13

Interpretation:

There has been a decline in the year 2006-07 but rising otherwise which indicates that the net fixed assets is
used more effectively to increase the sales without additional investment in the period of study.
PROFITABILITY MEASURES:

These are probably the best-known and most widely used of all financial ratios. In one form or another, they are
intended to measure how efficiently the firm uses its assets and how efficiently the form manages its operations.
The focus in this group is on the bottom line – net income.

Net Profit Margin

This ratio helps in determining the efficiency with which affairs of the business are being managed. An increase
in the ratio over the previous period indicates improvement in the operational efficiency of the business. The
ratio is thus on effective measure to check the profitability of business. However, constant increase in the above
ratio after year is a definite indication of improving conditions of the business.

Net Profit Margin = ( Net Profit / Net Sales ) * 100

Interpretation:

The profit margin was seen to be fluctuating around 23%. Since it was continuously positive, Satyam’s financial
statements indicated a good profit margin.
Return on Assets:

This ratio is computed to know the productivity of the total assets. It is a measure of profit per rupee of assets.

Return on Assets = ( Net Profit after Tax / Total Assets ) * 100

The term ‘Total Assets’ includes the fixed asset, current assets and capital work in progress of the company. The
below table clearly reveals the relationship between the net profit and Total Assets employed in the business.

Interpretation:

Return on Total Assets of Satyam can been seen to be following the same trend as the profit margin ratio.
Return on Total Assets increases when Net Profit (shown in the previous section) increases.
MARKET VALUE MEASURES:

Earnings Per Share:

The overall profitability can also be judged by calculating earnings per share. The earnings per share measure
helps in determining the market price of the equity shares of the company. A comparison of earning per share of
the company with another will also help in deciding whether the equity share capital is being effectively used or
not. It also helps in estimating the company’s capacity to pay dividend to its equity shareholders.

Earning Per Equity Share = ( Net Profit after Tax / Number of Equity Shares ) * 100

Interpretation:
Earnings Per share for the year 2005 is 150% higher than 2004 due to more Net Profit as the consequence of
high sales value and low interest charges. In the year 2006 and 2007 earnings per share is comparatively less
with compare to 2005 due to economic conditions.

CONCLUSION

By watching the individual and comparative analysis of Satyam, both individually with its previous results and
with Infosys Technologies, we find that the EPS, Debt-Equity Ratio and Profit Margin of Infosys is much higher
than Satyam. Also the data and the graph shows that the values for Satyam drastically decreased in year 2008-
2009. This is a clear reflection of the effect of the scandal at Satyam which got revealed in January 2009.

The leverage value (Debt-Equity ratio) for Satyam increased by 51 times in 2008-09. In comparison, Infosys has
no leverage at all.
