Financial Statement Analysis Project

Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flows

Analysis of Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flows

Next step of the project is to analyze the company’s financial performance and financial position

You have identified the company’s moat and management. Now you want to assess how strong the moat is and how well the management runs the company

You are also going to calculate some financial ratios using income statement and balance sheet data to help you learn about the company’s financial strength

Indicators of Moat and Management

If you have not calculated the indicators below, tabulate and discuss the following financial figures in the past 10 years:

For Moat:

(Book value + Dividend) per share annual growth rate

Earnings per share annual growth rate

Cash flow from operation per share annual growth rate

Sales per share annual growth rate

For Management:

ROE

ROA (ROIC)

LT Debt to Earnings ratio

Think about this: What earnings figure should you use in the calculations above? Net Income or Income from Continued Operations?

Other Income Statement and Cash Flow Indicators

In your next report, also tabulate and discuss the following ratios for the last 10 years:

Gross Profit/Net sales

Operating Income/Net sales

Income from Continued Operations/Net sales

Free cash flow (=cash flows from operating activity – CapEx)

Free cash flow ratio (=Free cash flow/Income from continued operations)

Also, find out and report the company’s current P/E ratio

Balance Sheet Indicators

In addition, tabulate and discuss the following ratios for the last 10 years in evaluating the company’s financial position:

Liquidity:

Current ratio (=Current assets/Current Liabilities, preferably >2)

Quick ratio (=Cash and Cash Equivalents + A/R + ST Investment / Current Liabilities, preferably > 1)

Solvency:

LT Debt / Total Assets
