- One of the most important character-istics of a business is its financial condition.
- Financial condition analysis attempts to answer this question: Does the business have the financial capacity to meet its mission?
- Results often focus on financial strengths and weaknesses.
Overview
17 - *
- Several techniques are used:
- Financial statement analysis focuses on the information in a business’s financial statements with the goal of assessing financial condition.
- Operating indicator analysis focuses on operating data with the goal of explaining financial performance.
- EVA analysis focuses on assessing overall managerial performance.
- To illustrate, consider the following data for Riverside Memorial Hospital, all in thousands of dollars.

What is the most important line on the statement of cash flows?
Statement of Cash Flows Analysis
17 - *
- Ratio analysis is a technique used in financial condition analysis (and in other analyses).
- Financial ratio analysis combines values from the financial statements to create single numbers that:
- Have easily interpretable economic significance.
- Facilitate comparisons.
Financial Ratio Analysis
17 - *
- A single ratio value has little meaning. For example, a total margin of 7.3%.
- Therefore, two techniques are used to help interpret “the numbers.”
- Trend (time series) analysis
- Comparative (cross-sectional) analysis
- Both techniques will be illustrated in the examples to follow.
Interpreting Ratios
17 - *
- Profitability: Is the business generating sufficient profits?
- Liquidity: Can the business meet its cash obligations?
- Debt management: Is the business using the right mix of debt and equity?
- Asset management: Does the business have the right amount of assets for its volume?

- Du Pont analysis summarizes and highlights a business’s financial condition.
- It is based on the fact that ROE can be expressed as the product of three ratios:
- Total margin (expense control)
- Total asset turnover (asset utilization)
- Equity multiplier (debt utilization)

2006: 2.22% x 0.73 x 1.50 = 2.43%.
2007: 7.30% x 0.78 x 1.41 = 7.98%.
Ind: 5.00% x 0.97 x 1.73 = 8.39%.
x x = ROE
What does it all mean?
17 - *
- In addition to ratio and Du Pont analyses, there are two other techniques commonly used in financial statement analysis.
- In common size analysis, all income statement items and balance sheet accounts are expressed as percentages of revenue or total assets, which facilitates comparisons when there are scale differences.
- In percentage change analysis, year-to-year changes in income statement items and balance sheet accounts are expressed as percentage changes, which helps identify items that are “out of control.”
Other Analytical Techniques
17 - *
- Operating indicator analysis involves the use of operating data (as opposed to financial statement data) to try to explain a business’s financial condition.
- If managers understand the underlying operating conditions, they can better deal with financial problem areas.
- Here we will present only two examples.
Operating Indicator Analysis

Net Price Per Discharge (2007)
NPPD =
Net inpatient revenue
Total discharges
= = $5,128.

Industry average = $5,510.

Limitations of Financial
Performance Analysis
- Comparison with industry averages is difficult if the business operates many different divisions.
- “Average” performance is not necessarily good performance.
- Seasonal factors can distort ratios.
- Inflation effects can distort financial statement data.
17 - *
- Different operating and accounting practices can distort comparisons.
- Sometimes, it is hard to tell if any given ratio is “good” or “bad.”
- It is often difficult to tell whether a business is, on balance, in a strong or weak financial position:
- Multiple discriminant analysis
- Financial flexibility index
Limitations (Cont.)
17 - *
- Economic value added (EVA) focuses on the ability of the business to cover all costs, including economic (return on capital) costs.
- It is often used to measure managerial performance, even in not-for-profit businesses.
Should not-for-profit managers be required to generate economic returns?
Economic Value Added (EVA)
17 - *
EVA (Cont.)
EVA = -
= NOPAT - Dollar capital costs
= (EBIT x [1 - T]) - (Total assets x CCC).
NOPAT = net operating profit after taxes.
CCC = corporate cost of capital.
Dollar earnings
to investors
Dollar cost of
capital employed
17 - *
- EVA takes into account the total dollar cost of capital, which includes the cost of equity.
- EVA is not a cash flow measure. It attempts to measure the true economic benefits and costs of an entire business, division, or project.
- In practice, relatively complex adjust-ments must be applied to accounting data to obtain EVA.
EVA (Cont.)
17 - *
NOPAT = ($8,572 + $1,542) x (1 - 0.0)
= $10,114.
Dollar capital costs = $151,278 x 0.10
= $15,128.
EVA = $10,114 - $15,128 = -$5,014.
EVA Example ($000s)
Here is Riverside’s 2007 EVA:
- How is this value interpreted?
- Does ROE give similar information?

Benchmarking
The process of comparing a business’s performance data to selected standards is called benchmarking. Here are Riverside’s total margin benchmarks:
National/GFB 9.8% National/GFB 9.6%
Ind. top quartile 8.4 Ind. top quartile 8.0
St. Anthony's 8.0 St. Anthony’s 7.9
Riverside 7.3 Pennant Healthcare 5.0
Industry median 5.0 Industry median 4.7
Pennant Healthcare 4.8 Riverside 2.2
Ind. lower quartile 1.8 Ind. lower quartile 2.1
Woodbridge Memorial 0.5 Woodbridge Memorial (1.3)
2004 2003

- Ratio analysis results are often presented in a dashboard format that focuses on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
- The idea here is to keep the data clutter to the minimum necessary to adequately monitor the financial and operating condition of the business.
Key Performance Indicators
17 - *
What are some areas of financial and operating performance that should be routinely monitored? In other words, if you were creating a “dashboard” to track Riverside’s performance, what areas would be covered by the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?
