The Financial Ratios Theory

1. Liquidity Ratios

The companies around the world try to obtain a correct and sufficient level of cash in order to maintain their activities under normal circumstances, these indicator to know whether the operations are right or wrong are called the liquidity ratios, normally the liquidity ratios are the most important among the four groups because they provide information about covering the current liabilities of the company. (Bized, 2003)

1.1. Definition

The liquidity ratios are known as stated in the introduction of this paper, the indicator that provide information regarding two major things, the level of cash a company has in order to cover its normal operations and as well as an indicator of how good is a company fitting the current assets with the current liabilities.

The current ratio that compares the monetary units of current assets a company has and the current liabilities, normally debts that are taken due to the operations of the company done through a year or less time; these two are the most important, basically because the two results qualifies a company like solvent or not. (Bized, 2003).

1.2. Ratios

1.2.1. Working Capital

According to Credit Research Foundation (n.d.) the Working Capital Ratio is the one related to the comparison of the current assets and the current liabilities, the result serves to know if any contingencies and uncertainties can be satisfy without no problem. A company must always have a positive and big Working Capital, this indicates a good solvency level.

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Formula 1. Working Capital

 

1.2.2. Acid Test or Quick Ratio

This ratio tries to focus its analysis only in the amount of available cash of the company in order to know how much of its own money the company has in order to pay all the debts with third entities. The main difference with the Current Ratio is the fact that does not include inventory or prepaid expenses, so the ratio will be lower. (Credit Research Foundation, n.d.)

(Current Assets – Inventory)/ Current Liabilities

Formula 2. Acid Test or Quick Ratio

The interpretation of this ratio is the following:

1.2.3. Current Ratio

The current Ratio according to (Credit Research Foundation, n.d.) is the one that indicates if a company has more current assets than current liabilities, normally the current assets are cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventories; in the other hand, the current liabilities are formed by the accounts payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued income taxes and other accrued expenses that the company has.

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Formula 3. Current Ratio

The interpretation of this ratio is the following:

1.2.4. Cash Ratio

Indicates a view of how much liquidity a company has deducting from the total current assets the receivables and the inventory, basically focus in the level of factual cash to pay the debts of the business. (Credit Research Foundation, n.d.

Cash Ratio = (Cash Equivalents + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities

Formula 4. Cash Ratio

The interpretation of this ratio is the following:

2. Debt Ratios

 2.1. Definition

To discuss the debt ratios, this document must first introduce the reader to what is a debt, we know that a debt means, in this case, a company owes to an entity a certain amount of money; in this case a company can owe short-term or long-term debt depending the time in which the debt matures. Normally using the debt term is related to a year or less money owed and liability for the ones that exceed this period of time.

According to Loth (n.d.), the approach to the calculation of the financial ratios can be done under three big concepts; the first one is the Liberal, then the Moderate and finally the Conservative. The three are explain next:

Approach

Definition

Liberal

This type of approach tends to establish an analysis that only includes long-term debt, not the current one.

Moderate

Different from the Liberal approach, the Moderate includes certain current aspects, such as the notes payables and the current portion of the long-term debt, which is of course the amount of money that must be paid during the current year.

Conservative

Uses the short-term and long-term debt, in order to have a more general analysis of the entire company’s liabilities.

Table 1. Debt Ratios Approaches

2.2. Ratios

2.2.1. Debt Ratio

The Debt Ratio uses the total asset of a company and the total liabilities to know how many times does the company owes in money compared with what is own by it. According to Loth (n.d.) if this ratio gives as a result of the calculation a large percentage the company is more dependent to debts, which means a higher level of leverage to maintain the normal operations.

Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

Formula 5. Debt Ratio

Another interpretation to the Debt Ratio says that the higher the ratio, the higher the risk of the company, this is an index for potential investors.

2.2.2. Debt to Equity Ratio

This ratio provides another kind of analysis to the leverage situation of a company. This indicator is calculated by using the Total Liabilities of a company and the Shareholder’s Equity. The main objective of this ratio is to know how much have the suppliers, lenders and creditors have committed in monetary units contrasts to the amount of monetary units committed by the shareholders, this basically means the real money owe by the company regarding the borrowed money for operations in a regular basis. (Loth, n.d.)

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholder’s Equity

Formula 6. Debt - Equity Ratio

The real answer that this ratio tries to answer is how liability do we owe compared to what we really own. For instance if the result is higher than one, this means that the liabilities are one times the equity.

2.2.3. Capitalization Ratio

To talk about or explain this ratio first we have to discuss what is the capital structure, for purpose of this paper, the capital structure will be the two major components needed to create a company and to maintain the normal activities, this means the Capital given the shareholders and also the long – term debt taken by the business. This ratio is extremely important because it gives a real insight of the company’s leverage (knowing the real portion of the capital structure is). (Loth, n.d.)

Capitalization Ratio = Long – Term Debt / (Long – Term Debt + Shareholder’s Equity)

Formula 7. Capitalization Ratio

2.2.4. Interest Coverage Ratio

Loth (n.d.) says that this ratio is related to the capability of a company to have sufficient EBIT in order to pay the interest generated due to a loan. The higher the ratio, the more amount of money the business owns to meet interests.

Interest Coverage Ratio = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) / Interest Expenses

Formula 8. Interest Coverage Ratio

Another interpretation of the ratio establishes that if the result is 1.5 or lower than this number, the situation of the company in relation to the interest coverage may be questionable.

2.2.5. Cash Flow To Debt Ratio

Comparison of the company’s operating cash flow to its total debt (includes the short – term debt, the portion of the long – term debt that will be paid in the current period and the entire long – term debt that the company holds). The higher the ratio, the better the company’s ability to carry all the debt, because this means that the business has more money, liquidity to be more specific, than money owed.

Cash Flow To Debt Ratio = Operating Cash Flow / Total Debt

3. Profitability Ratios

3.1. Definition

According to Damodaran (2007), the profitability ratios are the one related to the analysis of the generation of value through the company and for the shareholders, in his work Damodaran explains the importance of this ratio that helps an entity to attract potential investors.

3.2. Ratios

3.2.1. ROC or ROE (Return Over Capital or Over Equity)

Equity represents assets less liabilities, or the net investment in the company by equity holders. It is calculated by dividing net profit after tax by equity. (Finch, 2008)

Return On Equity = Net Profit After Tax / Shareholder’s Equity

Formula 10. Return On Equity

3.2.2. ROA (Return Over Assets)

This ratio is an attempt to measure the rate of return earned by management through operations and is determined by dividing the EBIT by total assets or also instead of using the EBIT, normally companies and analysts use the Net Profit After Taxes, to know how much a company is making due to the assets that possesses.

Return On Assets = EBIT / Total Assets

Formula 11. Return On Assets using the EBIT

Return On Assets = Net Profit After Tax / Total Assets

Formula 12. Return On Assets using the NPAT

3.2.3. Dupont

The Dupont model is related to the measurement of the profitability that a company generates regarding the capital invested by the shareholders, the so called Dupont Model is aims to relate many financial ratios of different kinds in order to explain the impact in the final result, which is the Return On Equity. Figure 1 explains the relationship between many financial ratios and how the ROE gets impacted by the movements in all the accounts. (Groppelli & Eshan, 2000)

We obtain the different mathematic relations between the accounts and the ratios in order to finally obtain the Return On Investment and to analyze the changes that occur in this ratio, depending on the variations of the other results. (Bodie, Kane, & Marcus, 2004)

Dupont: ROE = (Profit Margin)*(Asset Turnover)*(Equity Multiplier) = (Net Profit / Sales)*( Sales/Assets)*(Assets / Equity) = Net Profit /Equity

Formula 13. Dupont Formula

3.2.4. Net Margin, Gross Margin and Operative Margin

Finch (2008) talks about the different margins in his paper “Summary of Financial Ratios”, according to him these measure are related to the analysis of how much is a company making deducting the investment needed to operate normally. The Margins are explain in table 2, the one that contains the formula and an explanation per ratio.

4. Operating Performance Ratios

4.1. Definition

Also called Activity Ratios are the ones that allows everyone to know how well is the company managing their assets, liabilities and in which level they are obtaining positive results. (Finch, 2008)

4.2. Ratios

4.2.1. Inventory Turnover

According to Finch (2008), the speed with which an organization can sell its stock on average is measured through this ratio, it basically provides a number of periods during a year that specifically mean that all the company’s inventory has been sold to a third one. Due to the existence of the storage cost, companies try to have the lowest Inventory Turnover, because it takes less time to sell the entire inventory.

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Stock

Formula 14. Inventory Turnover

4.2.2. Inventory Turnover Period

A variation of the Inventory Turnover that provides the number of days per period to empty the investory.

Inventory Turnover Period = 360 / Inventory Turnover

Formula 15. Inventory Turnover

4.2.3. Receivables Turnover

When companies give credit to its buyers, the liquidity gets affected, in order to maintain the regular activities money given in credit must be converted into actual cash that is why it is important to calculate the number of periods in a year, that a company can exchange their accounts receivables into real liquidity. (Finch, 2008)

Accounts Receivables Turnover = Net Sales Revenue / Average Receivables Balance

Formula 16. Receivables Turnover

4.2.4. Average Collection Period

The amount of days per period to transform receivables into cash and increase the level of liquidity of the company.

 

Average Collection Period = 360 / Receivables Turnover

Formula 17. Average Collection  Period

4.2.5. Payables Turnover

This ratio refers to the time it takes on average for a creditor to be paid. This is calculated by dividing the net sales revenue by the average accounts payables (creditors) balance. (Finch, 2008)

Payables Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Payables Balance

Formula 18. Payables Turnover

4.2.6. Average Payment Period

As well as the receivables, this ratio provides the number of days a company pays actually, the credit given by suppliers or third ones.

Average Payment Period = 360 / Payables Turnover

Formula 19. Average Payment Period

4.2.7. Asset Turnover

Assets are investments done by companies in order to obtain returns, which are specifically the generation of sales, the asset turnover provides an indicator of how many times a company generates incomes through assets in a year. Normally the fixed assets are the most important kind, when we discuss the sales, that is why this ratio can be calculated using the fixed assets and the total assets of a company. (Finch, 2008)

Fixed Asset Turnover = Sales / Net Fixed Assets

Formula 20. Fixed Asset Turnover

Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

Formula 21. Total Asset Turnove

4.2.8. Cash Conversion Cycle or Business Cycle

This metric is related to the amount of time a company needs to do three major things to operate, first the sale of its inventory, the collection of the accounts receivables given to clients and finally the payment of the accounts payable obtained by the suppliers, from these three statements a company turn its operations into money, liquidity. The Business Cycle is the number of days a company a company can benefit from its operations by the cash generated. (Loth, Investopedia, 2010)

Cash Conversion Cycle = DI + DS - DP

Formula 22. Cash Conversion Cycle

Where:

DI: Days of Inventory

DS: Days of Sales (Average days of Collection)

DP: Days Payable (Average days of Payment)

The approach establishes that the shorter the cycle, the more liquid is the company (means that has a better working capital position, to maintain the normal operations). To achieve this, companies must establish strategies to increase the days of payables, which are linked to the amount of time in which it has to pay debts, increase the days of inventory in order to reduce the storage in less periods and to reduce as well the days of sales, in order to collect the money from the clients in a short period of time and maintain a correct level of liquidity.

5. Investment Valuation Ratios

5.1. Definition

In order to obtain certainty for making an investment, normally investors apply many different types of analysis to get an opinion for making a decision. One of these many kinds of tools is the investment valuation ratios, this estimate the attractiveness of a potential or existing business to know whether invest or ignore. The other reason for using these ratios is that in certain circumstances the valuation of the company uses overload information generating a deviation from the real value of a company, but by using information given by the market the analysis becomes more confident. (Loth, 2010)

5.2. Ratios

5.2.1. Market Price Over The Book Value Ratio

The comparison between the price of a company in the market represented by the stock’s price and the book value per share. The interpretation of this ratio is how much does a company value in the market compared with its initial nominal value of book value, before issuing the stocks. (Loth, 2010)

Price / Book Value Ratio = Stock Market Price Share / Shareholder’s Equity Per Share

Formula 23. Market Price to Book Value

5.2.2. Market Price Over The Cash Flow Ratio

This ratio is also part of the potential investment analysis done by investors in order to make a decision, it provides a metric of how much does a stock is valued in the market compared with the cash flow the company generates on a per share bases. (Loth, 2010)

Price / Cash Flow Ratio = Stock Market Price / Operating Cash Flow Per Share

Formula 24. Market Price to Cash Flow Ratio

5.2.3. Price Over Earnings Ratio

The most representative investment valuation ratio, as all kind of ratios this one has many imperfections, but it is commonly used by analysts and valuation companies to obtain an idea of a company’s attractiveness to invest. The interpretation is related to the number of times an investor is paying for a company’s stock in the market for every monetary unit of a company’s earnings. (Loth, 2010)

Price / Earnings Ratio = Stock Market Price Share / Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Formula 25. Market Price to EPS

5.2.4. Price Over Earnings Over Growth ratio

Also known as the PEG Ratio, it provides information related to the under or overpriced situation of a company by using the current market price of the stock and the projected or potential price through the EPS Growth taken from the company’s financial statements. (Loth, 2010)

PEG = Price to Earnings Ratio / Earnings Per Share Growth

Formula 26. PEG Formula

The interpretation is explained in the following chart:

PEG’s Value

Interpretation

PEG = 1

This means that the market if correctly valuing a company’s share in the market in accordance with the projected earnings growth.

PEG > 1

This means that the market if not valuing correctly the stock, because it is given a false growth to the company’s earnings, which means that the stock is overvalued and will fall (short position).

PEG < 1

This means that the market is not valuing correctly the stock, because there is a potential growth of the company’s earnings, which means that the stock is undervalued.

5.2.5. Price Over Sales Ratio

This financial measure refers to the comparison of the market price and the company’s sales. As well as the P/E Ratio, this indicator shows how much an investor is paying for a stock, for every dollar generated through sales. (Loth, 2010)

Price over Sales Ratio = Stock Market Price Share / Net Sales or Revenue Per Share

Formula 27. Price over Sales Ratio

5.2.6. Dividend Yield

The dividend yield is calculated by using the company’s annual cash dividend per share divided by the current price of the stock in the market. Normally the rate resulted from the calculation must be taken in an annual basis and presented as an expected return for investors. The dividend yield is also a benchmarking index. (Loth, 2010)

Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend Per Share / Stock Price Per Share

Formula 28. Dividend Yield

5.2.7. Enterprise Value Multiple

The form to calculate this ratio is by dividing the enterprise value and the earnings before interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization also called EBITDA. (Loth, 2010)

The measurement of this kind provides information related to know how long it would take an acquisition to earn enough to pay off its costs. (Loth, 2010)

In order to obtain the enterprise value, analysts can use the following formula:

Enterprise Value = Market Capitalization + Debt + Minority Interest – Cash Equivalents

Formula 29. Enterprise Value

The Multiple uses the following value and the EBITDA in the following calculation:

Enterprise Value Multiple = Enterprise Value / EBITDA

Formula 30. Enterprise Value Multiple

Interpretation by company

1. Alicorp S.A.A.

The liquidty shown by Alicorp is currently over 1, which means that in terms of the Current Ratio they are not having any problem in covering its short term liabilities, the problems comes to notice when the Acid Test shows a 50 % decrease in the previous figure, which means that the inventory of the company is having certain managing problems, the cash ratio is also at a very poor level. The debt ratios show a very high Debt to Equity figure, which is currently at 1.36 times Alicorp’s equity and a reduction in the interest coverage. The profitability of the company shows an unattractive company, the ROE is currently at 0.77 %, which is lower than the 2013, 16.51 %, in terms of internal value generation, the ROA is currently at 0.27 %, also lower than the 2013, 7.24 %, the last Net Margin published by the company is at 0.27 %, very much lower than the 6.32 % (2013) and the 7.87 % (2012). The Cash Conversion Cycle or also called Business Cycle is at 62.96, which is good and means that the company takes less than three months to transform its inventory, receivable and payables into real liquidity. Finally the Investment Valuation Ratios show that the company is currently trading at 89.65 times its Book Value per share, the PEG is extremely high (over valuated share, with false growth expectation), the PER shows an unattractive recovery period and the current Price to Sales Ratio is at 0.98 times, a very lame level for a company as Alicorp.

2. Volcan Compañía Minera S.A.A.

Volcan is one the most important mining companies in Peru, when analyzing the liquidity of the company, it shows that the current ratio is currently at 1.40 times, which means that the company has near 1.50 times of current assets, to cover its less than a year debt service, a very solid Working Capital, but a less than 0.50 soles per debt unit of Acid Test, this means that the company has a lot of inventory among its current assets, this shows that the company might have a future and potential liquidity problem. The management of the debt done by Volcan shows a small dependence for debt, this is normal because of its core business (need to cover big investments at a short period of time as normally a mining company does). In terms of operating performance ratios, the results show that the company has a Cash Conversion Cycle of 11.70  days, which is good because they are terminating all its operations in less than a month, the company has shown good collection, inventory and payment policies in order to have a sufficiently good operations management. The stock is showing a very low performance with a Market Price to Book Value of 3.11 times, less than the 4.19 times in 2013 and the 10.06 times in 2012, this means a negative trend for this ratio, in terms of PEG, the company is having a very unattractive recovery period (19.41 times in 2014), overall this investigation can conclude that the market value of company is currently decreasing and it might continue like this, throughout all 2015.

3. Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A.

In terms of liquidity Cementos Pacasmayo is a company that has an important current ratio, the value is nearly 5 times the short term debt, which means that the company does not have any problem in covering less than a year liabilities, they also present a positive Working Capital and a good Acid Test, the values are in average over 4 times the less than a year liabilities, but it is important to notice the liquidity decrease they had form 2013 to 2014, the 4 indicators are lower than the 2013 value. The debt levels are correct and there is no dependence in terms of asking money to suppliers and financial institutions, the debt to equity is nearly 3, but in terms of capitalization the company does not have a large debt, the interest are 13 % of the EBIT and can be covered without any problem. The profitability of the company is very good; currently the company is one of the most attractive to invest in, the ROE is at 9.83 % and the Net Margin at 15.52 %, both indicate good and sufficient results for potential investors. The CCC of Cementos Pacasmayo is currently less than 180 days, which means that this company is not having a problem managing receivables, payments and inventory because they close its entire operation in less than half a year (inventory days at 166 days, collection days at 23 days and payments at 50 days), the three periods show that the company is currently receiving liquidity, then delivers the products and pays its debts. Finally, the stock is doing very well in the market, the company pays dividends that yield at 0.5 %, which is not that profitable, but the stock has a good performance, the PER is low which means a lower recovery period, finally the EV/EBIT shows a sufficient performance level in the market compared with the operational cash flows of Cementos Pacasmayo.

4. Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.

This company is also one of the most important in the mining sector, that was one of the many reasons it was chosen for this paper, Buenaventura is currently showing a regular level of liquidity, this is reflected in the Current Ratio, which is slightly above one, but in terms of the Acid Test, the company is lower than one, this of course means that the Buenaventura is not having a good level of liquidity in short terms when the inventory they hold is removed from the formula of calculation, the company must work better into more effective liquidity policies. The debt level of the company is extremely high, as ten times the equity of Buenaventura; this is a major problem in terms of credit future problems, Buenaventura is currently holding a 11.25 times debt to equity ratio, which means that the real money owned by the company is very low and Buenaventura has a large dependence for external resources. The current profitability of the company is negative, which means that the attractiveness of the mining company is lower due to the reduction of the value generated by them, in terms of ROE the results is -2.17 % and the Net Margin shows a -6.53 % results for the 2014 period, this are highly related to the performance of the company and also related to the fact that the debt service is quiet expensive. The CCC or Business Cycle of Buenaventura is very low, the average is nearly 20 days, and this shows that the company does not need even a month to close all the operations to transform receivables, payments and inventory into a net amount of cash, the inventory days are 100 days, which means that the company needs less than half a year to empty all of its storages, the collection period is 85 days much lower than the 167 payment days, the three indicators show that the company receive first liquidity, then it sells everything and to terminate its cycle pays its debts. Buenaventura’s stock has done in terms of trading quite good, but the investment ratios shows that the company is currently losing money and not paying a sufficient or positive EPS, which means that the PER is not applicable and there is not be information about the recovery period of the company, the indicators show a lack performance for the future years of Buenaventura’s stock.

Conclusions of the investigation

Among the many financial ways to analyze a company, the use of financial ratios is one the most important, as this paper has taken the formulas of many authors and calculated the many financial ratios from five different companies from the Peruvian market, we can conclude that this, also called, indexes are extremely important in order to know how well is a company doing in terms of many aspects, such as the categories of the financial ratios, in terms of liquidity the different results provide information in order to define whether a company has liquidity to face future cash needs or if the results are generating enough money to cover short term obligations, in terms of debt the financial ratios measure in a very important way the influence of borrowing money in the different aspects of the enterprise, how well can the results cover this obligations and if a company has an unhealthy dependence of debt to carry on with its normal or regular operations. The financial ratios are also used in other situations, for instance are a valid way of deciding if a company that is trading in the market, is doing well or not, just to see how the market perceives its development, measure like the PER, the PEG, dividend Yield and the Enterprise Value Multiple give guidance to potential investors to see is their profits are going up, down or when are they going to obtain back their initial investment.

Another aspect to discuss in this conclusions is the importance of the Cash Conversion Cycle, a measure that explains the amount of time a company needs to cash their entire operation, this meaning that the receivables are all collected, the debts are all paid and the inventory is empty, a simple number that states perfectly to know how well is a company managing this three types of operations (collection policies, payment policies and inventory management).

Finally, when investors have given their money to the company, normally they are going to expect earnings or also called profits, if the founders of the company want to check how well is the company doing in order to satisfy this need of them, the profitability ratios are the ones that will provide information about the value generation for the company’s owners. The indexes obtained from mixing the results stated in the P&L Statement and the Financial Situation Statement are simple to analyze and to define if a company is doing well or not in terms of financial attractiveness (for the current owners and the potential ones).

It is also important to conclude that the financial ratios are of course important in order to have a more detailed observation of the company’s results and development through an entire period of a set of periods, but it is important to benchmark them, because it is true that the theory says that certain ratio can be evaluated comparing it with for instance a number, but the real question is, for company’s managers and owners as well for the future investors, how well is the company performing compared to the industry or other companies. The need to benchmark these results with the industry average of perhaps with the ratios from the direct competitor are recommendations given by important authors and this paper is not going to do the opposite, this investigation has not provided any kind of benchmark, but it is crucial to have an optimum financial ratios analysis to do it so, for any strategic decision to be made in the future.
