Financial Ratios - DSO

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO): Measure of “Collection” effectiveness and a company’s ability to utilize “receivable” assets.

Formula: (A/R / Revenue [for period]) X Days [in period] Calculation: (( 7,187 / 35,644 ) X 365 ) = 73.6

Financial Ratios – Inventory TurnsInventory Turnover: Appropriateness of Inventory levels. Generally, higher Inventory Turnover is better. IF sales slow down Inventory Turnover will drop. This may indicate the need for corrective action, such as a reduction in production.

Formula: (Cost Of Goods Sold / Average Inventory [(Beg Inv + End Inv) / 2])Calculation: (23,081 / (4,381 + 4716) / 2) = 5.0

Beg. Inv. Conglomerates=6.27, S&P 500=9.91.

Financial Ratios – Asset TurnoverAsset Turnover: Indicates a company’s ability to use assets … convert them to sales and profit. Analogous to the car’s tachometer. The higher the asset turnover the better.

Formula: (Annual Sales / Total Assets)Calculation: (35,644 / 66,415) = 0.54

Conglomerates=0.49, S&P 500=0.93.

Page 13: © 2003 Six Sigma Academy0 DFSS Finance Module June, 2003 Tyco Fire & Security.

Financial Ratios – Employee RatiosEmployee Ratios: Revenue per Employee and Net Income per Employee are used as indicators of productivity. The higher the number the better.

Formula: (Annual Sales / Total # of Employees)Calculation: (35,644,000K / 260K) = 137K

Conglomerates=339K, S&P 500=586K.

Formula: (Net Income / Total # of Employees)Calculation: (-3,070,000K / 260K) = -12K

Conglomerates=36K, S&P 500=70K.

Page 18: © 2003 Six Sigma Academy0 DFSS Finance Module June, 2003 Tyco Fire & Security.

Cash Flow, EPS & Multiples

• Cash Flow:• Net Cash Generated/Used During Reporting Period• Leading Indicator• Income + Changes In Operating Assets & Liabilities (Net) + Investment Activities + Financing Activities

• EPS - Earnings Per Share:• Net Income divided by # of shares of stock outstanding• Related (not directly) to company performance and stock price

• Multiples:• P/E Ratio (Stock Price divided by EPS)• A dollar of EPS translates to a significantly higher stock price … indicated by P/E Ratio• A company with a P/E Ratio of 20 means that a dollar improvement might result in a significant ($20)

increase in stock price• P/E and multiples are not guaranteed, or even tightly related, just indicators

Summary - Financial Statement Basics

• Balance Sheet• Like the score in the corner of the TV screen,• Tells the balance of accounts (Assets, Liabilities & Equity) as of a specific point in time• Can learn something of the general health of a company

• Income Statement• Like a series of plays,• Shows gains/(losses), and income & expense activity for a certain period of time, such

as a month, quarter or year• Quarters can be added together to make a year (not like B/S)

• Other Important Factors (for this program)• Cash Flow• EPS • P/E Ratio

• Engage Finance early• When project in development• Ensure working on right project areas• Should deliver good results• Hard benefits

• Engage Finance often• As project progresses

• Verify results

Finance Support

• Project Proposal: high level “sanity check”• The Project Champion completes a Project Charter with high level

estimates of benefit• Finance assists Project Champion or Black Belt in summarizing project

costs and benefits• Questions for Finance to ask

• Are these hard dollar benefits?• Are you measuring the Right factors in the business process?• Are there other possible sources of benefits? A more effective project?

Additional sub-Projects?• Does this opportunity meet the minimum benefit requirements?

Page 23: © 2003 Six Sigma Academy0 DFSS Finance Module June, 2003 Tyco Fire & Security.

23© 2003 Six Sigma Academy

• During Project:

• The Black Belt reviews and updates the financial model

• Financial Analyst (FA) reviews/assists as needed

• Questions for Finance to ask:

• How do these estimates compare with the previous estimates?

• Do these benefits look realistic for the proposed improvement?

• How do the savings estimates compare with current budget numbers?

• Is the decision to proceed confirmed?

Finance Support

Page 24: © 2003 Six Sigma Academy0 DFSS Finance Module June, 2003 Tyco Fire & Security.

24© 2003 Six Sigma Academy

• Project Completion• Detailed review of benefits to confirm total targeted benefits

• Finance works with Black Belt to validate & verify project results• Questions for Finance to ask

• Did the process improvement take place?• Does the process improvement result in the reported level of savings?• Are appropriate procedures in place to maintain the improvement?

• Ongoing tracking of financial results• Provide support to Project Champion to monitor sustainability of benefits
