PBT- profit before tax

Better fig to use than profit after tax, because there might be unusual variations in the tax charge from year to year which would not affect the underlying profitability of the company’s operation

Pbit- profit before interest and tax

Amount of profit which the company earned before having to pay interest to the providers of loan capital (long term loan capital)

ROCE- Return on capital employed

ROCE= (pbit/capital employed) x 100%


Cap employed = s/holders’ equity + LT liabilities (or tot assets-CL)


- to assess profits growth, need to relate to amount of funds (capital) that were employed in making the profits.


- measure overall efficiency of a company in employing the resources available to it

ROE- Return on equity

ROE- PAT &preference div/ equity s/holders funds

Profit Margin

PM = PBIT/Sales


- make a high or low profit margin on its sales

Secondary ratio

Profit margin x asset turnover = ROCE


- we often sub analyse ROCE to find out why ROCE is high or low, or better or worse than last year.


Two factors contribute in ROCE

Asset turnover

AT = sales/ capital employed


is a measure of how well the assets are being used to generate sales

Relationships btw profit margin & Asset turnover

There is trade off btw them cannot look at one


1) usually high profit margin= good (profit)


- means high profit per $1 of sales, but this also means sales price are high, possibility sales turnover will be depressed n so asset turnover lower


2) high asset turnover- good (volume)


- means that company is generating a lot of sales, but to do this it might have to keep its price down n accept a low profit margin per $1 of sales

Interest cover

IC = PBIT/ interest charges


- shows whether comp is earning enough PBIT to pay its interest costs


- fall in PBIT, would have significant effect on profits available for s/holders. Even small change in PBIT

Debt ratio

DR- total debts/ total assets


50% safe limit.

Gearing

G = (Total LT debt/ sholders’ equity + tot LT debt) x 100%


- concerned with comp LT capital structure


- company consists of nca & ca, these assets must be financed by LT capital


G more than 50% = high G

To lower gearing by

Boosting it sholders’ capital by


- REtained profits


- new share issue

Leverage

L = (sholders’ equity/ sholders’ equity + tot LT debt) x 100%


Or = (sholders’ equity/ tot asset- CL) x 100%


- converse of gearing total assets financed by equity


- equity to asset ratio


- leverage is to mirror image of gearing

Current ratio

CR = CA/CL :


CR should be more than 1


- comp should have enough current assets, to meet its future commitments to pay off its current liabilities

Quick ratio

QR = (CA- Inventory)/ CL


Comp with slow turnover = QR more than 1


Comp with fast turnover= its ok to less than 1(0.8)


- comp not able to convert all their CA into cash very quickly


- some manufacturing comp might hold large quantities of raw material, stocks, to produce finished goods.


- where inventory turnover is slow , most inventories are not liquid assets, because cash cycle is long

Receivables Collection Period

RCP= (TR/credit sales) x 365 days


- Avg length time takes for customer to pay what they owe


Measure the efficiency:


- by comparing trend of collection period over time


- diff in collection period, reflects diff btw types of business

Inventory Turnover period

ITP= (inventory/cost of sales) x 365 days


-avg no. Of days that items of inventory are held for


- measure of how vigorously a business is trading

Lengthening Inventory level indicates

1) slow down in trading


2) build up in inventory level


But get bulk buying discount

Payable payment period

PPP= (TP/ Purchases) x 365 days


- help to assess company’s liquidity


- increase means sign of lack of LT finance or poor management of Current Asset


- result in use extended credit from suppliers, increased bank overdraft

Receivables Collection Period (RCP) + Inventory turnover period (ITP)

- give indication of how soon inventory is converted into cash- liquidity

Operating cycle

OC = ITP + RCP - PPP


= Inventory Turnover Period


+ Receivables Collection Period


- Payables Payment Period


•is the average period of time required for a business to make an initial outlay of cash to produce goods, sell the goods, and receive cash from customers in exchange for the goods.

Cash cycle effect by 3 factors:

1) PPP


2) ITP


3) RCP

Liquidity

- is the amount of cash a company can quickly settle it debts & possibly to meet unforeseen demands for cash payments too.

Earning per share

1) EPS - return on each ordinary share of the year

Dividend cover

• DC = EPS/ Div per share


- shows proportion of profit for the year is available for distribution to sholders and proportion will be retained in business to finance future growth.

P/E ratio- price earning ratio

P/E ratio= price per share/ EPS


- high p/e indicate strong sholder confidence

Dividend yield

DY= (div per share/ current MVof ex div share) x 100%


Dps - is taken as previous yr div


Ex div- share price not include right to the most recent div

Diluted EPS

-is a calculation used to gauge the quality of a company's earnings per share (EPS) if all convertible securities were exercised.


-Convertible securities are all outstanding convertible preferred shares, convertible debentures, stock options, and warrants.


-Unless a company has no additional potential shares outstanding (rare), the diluted EPS will always be lower than the simple or basic EPS.


-Diluted EPS considers what would happen if dilutive securities were exercised.


-Dilutive securities are securities that are not common stock but can be converted to common stock if the holder exercises that option.


-If converted, dilutive securities effectively increase the weighted number of shares outstanding, which decreases EPS.

Effect on EPS of changes in capital structure

1) earnings per share with a new issue


-weighted avg no. of shares*


• existing share 8M, issue new 1 M on 30.09.X2


01.01.x2- 30.09.x2 (9mth) :


8 M x 9/12 = 6,000,000


9 M x 3/12. = 2,250,000


Total = 8,250,000


2) earnings per share with a bonus issue


- number of shares*


- restated eps*


• existing 400,000, new bonus issue 100,000 on 30.09.X2


Old 01.01.X2- 30.09.X2 (9mth) : 400,000


New 30.09.X2- 31.12.X2 (3mth) : 100,000


Total = 500,000 shares


- restated EPS (for prior year, eps= 18.75c)


18.75c x 400/500 = 15c*


3) earnings per share with a rights issue


- theoretical ex-rights price(terp)*


- weighted avg no. of shares*


- restated eps*


• existing 100,000, 1 for 5 rights issue on 01.10.X2 at price $1. Last day price $1.60


-terp:


5 x $1.60 = $8


1 x $1. = $1


Terp of 6 shares =$9/6 = $1.50


- restated eps


EPS = 40c x 1.5/1.6 = 37.5c*


- no. Of shares


01.01.x2- 01.10.x2 (9mth).


100,000 x 9/12 x 1.6/1.5=80,000


120,000 x 3/12 = 30,000


Total = 110,000


Eps = $50,000/110,000 = 45.5c

Dilutive loan stock

When incremental eps for loan stock not higher than basic eps

Convertible loan note


( effect on Eps)

Example: 5,000,000 ordinary shares of 25c , tot earning $1,750,000 (eps1.75M/5M=35c)


2,000,000 of 10% convertible loan stock, convertible in 3 yrs time


Income tax rate 35%


•new share


- rate of 3 shares per $5 of stock


$2,000,000 x 3/$5 = 1.2M shares


• Interest saved


(10% x 2M) x (100%- 35%)


= 200,000 x 0.65 = $130,000


• effect on eps


Interest saved/ shares


= $130,000/ 1.2M = 10.8c


= 10% loan stock is dilutive


• dilute eps


(1.75m+0.13m)/ (5m+1.2m). = 30.3c
