Slide 1
Evaluating a Firm’s Financial Performance Goals of evaluating firm performance: Are our decisions maximizing shareholder
wealth? We will want to answer questions about the firm’s
Liquidity Efficient use of Assets Leverage (financing) Profitability
Slide 2
Financial Ratios Tools that help us determine the financial health
of a company We can compare a company’s financial ratios
with its ratios in previous years (trend analysis) We can compare a company’s financial ratios
with those of its industry

What is the firm’s Current Ratio? Do we have enough liquid assets to meet approaching
obligations?
If the average current ratio for the industry is 2.4, is this good or not?

What is the firm’s Average Collection Period (ACP)?
If the industry average is 47 days, what does this tell us? Alternatively, we can calculate Average Collection Turnover
(Accounts Receivable Turnover (ART)) first as: (Industry average is 8.2 times)
Second, we convert the turnover into a period using 365 day/year:

Measure how efficiently the firm’s assets generate operating profits
What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)?
Slightly below the industry average of 15%. The OIROI reflects product pricing and the firm’s ability to keep costs down

Low Inventory Turnover The firm may have too much inventory, which is
expensive because:
Inventory takes up costly warehouse space
Some items may become spoiled or obsolete

Cash Cycle = (Inventory Period + Receivables Period) – Payables Period
Cash Cycle = (117.74 + 59.30) – 41.57 = 135.47

Measure the impact of using debt capital to finance assets Firms use debt to lever (increase) returns on common equity How does Leverage work? Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its
earnings this year total $15,000 ROE = 15,000 / 100,000 = 15% Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and
half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000 ROE = (15,000 – 4,000) / 50,000 = 22%
3. Leverage Ratios (Financing Decisions)
Slide 18
If the industry average is 47%, what does this tell us? Can leverage make the firm more profitable? Can leverage make the firm riskier?
