Learning Objective
Management’s Analysis
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015
3
Primary reason to analyze
Evaluate the overall performance of the firm
Especially as seen by those external to the firm
Should be aware of total company performance, in addition to each manager’s own responsibility area
Analysis helps managers understand
How the firm is performing, and
How the firm is perceived
Financial Performance
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015
4
General purpose financial statements
Provide an overall measure of firm’s performance
Enable comparison of the firm with similar firms
Can help identify potential weaknesses
Internal reporting system limited to component performance
Important for monitoring lending restrictions
To ensure compliance
Allows managers to see the firm as outsiders see it

Learning Objective
Factors Impacting Financial Statement Analysis
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015
6
No single financial statement analysis measure can summarize an organization’s performance
Manager must know which alternative accounting procedures the firm uses
Such as depreciation methods and inventory costing
Inflation/deflation effects can distort comparisons between periods because statements are based on historical dollars

Factors Impacting Financial Statement Analysis
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015
7
Changes in product mix can distort a comparison of financial statements
Because individual products have unique profit margins and a change in mix influences the firm’s profit margin
Changes in organizational structure should be reviewed as part of financial analysis

Vertical analysis
Restatement of amounts in the current financial statements as a percentage of some base measure
Horizontal analysis
Comparison of a firm’s current financial measures to those of previous periods

Comparison of a firm’s financial measures to similar measures for other firms in the industry or to industry averages
Comparison of a firm’s financial measures to its budgeted measures
Beginning the Financial Analysis

10
Vertical analysis
Conversion of all amounts to percentages of a base amount
Base amount on income statement is sales
Base amount on balance sheet is total assets
Common size statements
After all accounts of a particular statement are converted into percentages
Useful for
Detecting items that are out of line
Detecting deviations from preset amounts
Detecting other problems
Evaluating Against Comparable Measures
© Cambridge Business Publishers, 2015
11
Beneficial to managers to compare against other firms in the same industry
Financial information services publish averages for all major industries
Dun and Bradstreet
Standard & Poors
Moody’s
Awareness of differences between firms is necessary, such as
Geographical effects
Accounting practices
Other Measures

Measures of solvency and performance
Should be compared to industry norms
