Financial Ratio Analysis
A Liquidity Ratio provides information on a company's ability to meet its
shortterm, immediate obligations.
A Profitability Ratio provides information on the amount of income from each dollar
of sales.
An Activity Ratio relates information on a company's ability to manage its resources
(that is, its assets) efficiently.
A Financial Leverage Ratio provides information on the degree of a company's
fixed financing obligations and its ability to satisfy these financing obligations.
A Market Ratio describes the company's financial condition in terms of amounts per
share of stock.


Liquidity Ratio

Itc have high liquidity ratios, the higher the margin of safety that the company possess to
meet its current liabilities. Liquidity ratios greater than 1 indicate that the company is in good
financial health and it is less likely fall into financial difficulties. Seen in all the years above
2013, 2012, 2011.
Current ratio indicates Itc's ability to meet short-term debt obligations. The current ratio
measures whether or not a firm has enough resources to pay its debts over the next 12 month.
Profitability Ratio

An increase in profit margin compared to the previous period's margin signals an
improvement in both operational efficiency and profitability means the company improved its
profits and efficiency. A margin higher than those of other companies or higher than the
industry average means Itc business performed better than those companies during that
period.
Activity Ratio


A high debtor turnover ratio implies either that the company operates on a cash basis or that
its extension of credit and collection of accounts receivable are efficient. Also, a high ratio
reflects a short lapse of time between sales and the collection of cash, while a low number
means collection takes longer.
A low inventory turnover ratio can be seen because of rescission but it is very well aligned
with FMCG industry average.
Leverage Ratio

A very high interest cover suggest that the company is not capitalizing on the relatively
cheaper source of finance (i.e. debt) and in such instances an increase in gearing ratio may
actually add value to the enterprise.
Interest coverage is an indication of the margin of safety it does not run the risk of non-
payment of interest cost which could potentially threaten its solvency.

Market Ratio


PE Ratios 33.2
Current Share
price
311.65

Generally, stocks that are expected to grow earnings will have a higher P/E, Itc companies
with high growth have a higher ratio. Itc with the higher P/E is said to be overvalued by the
market.
The share price should reflect a firms future value creation potential, greater value creation
can indicate greater future dividends from the company. A higher P/E ratio should reflect
greater expected future gains because of perceived growth opportunities and/or some
competitive advantages and/or lesser risk, but at the same time it indicates that the share price
is relatively more expensive.
Du Point Analysis
DuPont analysis tells us that ROE is affected by three things:
Operating efficiency, which is measured by profit margin
Asset use efficiency, which is measured by total asset turnover
Financial leverage, which is measured by the equity multiplier

Mar'13 Mar'12
ROA (%) 23.55 22.65
ROE (%) 36.21 35.58
ROCE (%) 52.45 51.66

The return on capital employed is another measure of the returns that the business generates.
This is expressed as the ratio between the profit before interest and taxes (PBIT) to the
Capital Employed (Loans and Owners Fund) in the business. The ROCE is increased to
52.45% from 51.66% signifies that the company is getting good return out of its investment
decisions.
The return on Total Assets is yet another method of calculating the return of the company.
This is calculated by taking the ratio between the PBIT (Profit before Interest and Taxes) to
the Total Assets of the company. Earning power of the company, i.e. 23.55%is quiet good
and the company is doing well.
