CHAPTER:1INRTODUCTION

After preparation of the financial statements, one may be interested in knowing the position of

an enterprise from different points of view. This can be done by analyzing the financial statement

with the help of different tools of analysis such as ratio analysis, funds flow analysis, cash flow

analysis, comparative statement analysis, etc. Here I have done financial analysis by ratios. In

this process, a meaningful relationship is established between two or more accounting figures for

comparison.

Financial ratios are widely used for modeling purposes both by practitioners and researchers.

The firm involves many interested parties, like the owners, management, personnel, customers,

suppliers, competitors, regulatory agencies, and academics, each having their views in applying

financial statement analysis in their evaluations. Practitioners use financial ratios, for instance, to

forecast the future success of companies, while the researchers' main interest has been to develop

models exploiting these ratios. Many distinct areas of research involving financial ratios can be

discerned. Historically one can observe several major themes in the financial analysis literature.

There is overlapping in the observable themes, and they do not necessarily coincide with what

theoretically might be the best founded areas.

Financial statements are those statements which provide information about profitability and

financial position of a business. It includes two statements, i.e., profit & loss a/c or income

statement and balance sheet or position statement.

The income statement presents the summary of the income earned and the expenses incurred

during a financial year. Position statement presents the financial position of the business at the

end of the year.

Before understanding the meaning of analysis of financial statements, it is necessary to

understand the meaning of „analysis‟ and „financial statements‟.

1

Page 2: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

Analysis means establishing a meaningful relationship between various items of the two

financial statements with each other in such a way that a conclusion is drawn. By financial

statements, we mean two statements- (1) profit & loss a/c (2) balance sheet. These are prepared

at the end of a given period of time. They are indicators of profitability and financial soundness

of the business concern.

Thus, analysis of financial statements means establishing meaningful relationship between

various items of the two financial statements, i.e., income statement and position statement

Parties interested in analysis of financial statements

Analysis of financial statement has become very significant due to widespread interest of various

parties in the financial result of a business unit. The various persons interested in the analysis of

financial statements are:-

Short- term creditors

They are interested in knowing whether the amounts owing to them will be paid as and when fall

due for payment or not.

Long –term creditors

They are interested in knowing whether the principal amount and interest thereon will be paid on

time or not.

Shareholders

They are interested in profitability, return and capital appreciation.

Management

The management is interested in the financial position and performance of the enterprise as a

whole and of its various divisions.

Trade unions

2

Page 3: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

They are interested in financial statements for negotiating the wages or salaries or bonus

agreement with management.

Taxation authorities

These authorities are interested in financial statements for determining the tax liability.

Researchers

They are interested in the financial statements in undertaking research in business affairs and

practices.

Employees

They are interested as it enables them to justify their demands for bonus and increase in

remuneration.

You have seen that different parties are interested in the results reported in the financial

statements. These results are reported by analyzing financial statements through the use of ratio

analysis.

BANK PROFILE

1. STATE BANK OF INDIA:

Type- Public (BSE, NSE:SBI) & (LSE:SBID)

Founded- Calcutta, 1806 (as Bank of Calcutta)

Headquarters- Corporate Centre, Madam Cama Road, Mumbai 400 021 India

Key people- Om Prakash Bhatt, Chairman

State Bank of India (SBI) (LSE: SBID) is the largest bank in India. It is also, measured by the

number of branch offices and employees, the second largest bank in the world. The bank traces

its ancestry back through the Imperial Bank of India to the founding in 1806 of the Bank of

Calcutta, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Government of

India nationalized the Imperial Bank of India in 1955, with the Reserve Bank of India taking a

60% stake, and renamed it the State Bank of India. In 2008, the Government took over the stake

held by the Reserve Bank of India.

SBI provides a range of banking products through its vast network in India and overseas,

including products aimed at NRIs. With an asset base of $126 billion and its reach, it is a

regional banking behemoth. SBI has laid emphasis on reducing the huge manpower through

Golden handshake schemes and computerizing its operations.

The State Bank Group, with over 16000 branches, has the largest branch network in India. It has

a market share among Indian commercial banks of about 20% in deposits and advances.

International presence

Regional office of the State Bank of India (SBI), India's largest bank, in Mumbai. The

government of India is the largest shareholder in SBI.

Page 5: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

The bank has 52 branches, agencies or offices in 32 countries. It has branches of the parent in

Colombo, Dhakka, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, London and environs, Los Angeles,

Male in the Maldives, Muscat, New York, Osaka, Sydney, and Tokyo. It has offshore banking

units in the Bahamas, Bahrain, and Singapore, and representative offices in Bhutan and Cape

Town.

SBI operates several foreign subsidiaries or affiliates. In 1990 it established an offshore bank,

State Bank of India (Mauritius). It has two subsidiaries in North America, State Bank of India

(California), and State Bank of India (Canada). In 1982, the bank established its California

subsidiary, which now has seven branches. The Canadian subsidiary was also established in

1982 and also has seven branches, four in the greater Toronto area, and three in British

Columbia. In Nigeria, it operates as INMB Bank. This bank was established in 1981 as the Indo-

Nigerian Merchant Bank and received permission in 2002 to commence retail banking. It now

has five branches in Nigeria. In Nepal SBI owns 50% of Nepal SBI Bank, which has branches

throughout the country. In Moscow SBI owns 60% of Commercial Bank of India, with Canara

Bank owning the rest. In Indonesia it owns 76% of PT Bank Indo Monex. State Bank of India

already has a branch in Shanghai and plans to open one up in Tianjin.

2. INDUSTRIAL CREDIT & INVESTMENT CORPORATION OF INDIA (ICICI)

ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the government of India and

Indian industry representatives. The principal objective was to create a development financial

institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses.

Until the late 1980s, ICICI primarily focused its activities on project finance, providing long-

term funds to a variety of industrial projects. With the liberalization of the financial sector in

India in the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution

offering only project finance to a diversified financial services provider that, along with its

subsidiaries and other group companies, offered a wide variety of products and services. As

India‟s economy became more market-oriented and integrated with the world economy, ICICI

5

Page 6: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

capitalized on the new opportunities to provide a wider range of financial products and services

to a broader spectrum of clients.

ICICI Bank was incorporated in 1994 as a part of the ICICI group. ICICI Bank‟s initial equity

capital was contributed 75.0% by ICICI and 25.0% by SCICI Limited, a diversified finance and

shipping finance lender of which ICICI owned 19.9% at December 1996. Pursuant to the merger

of SCICI into ICICI, ICICI Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICICI. ICICI‟s holding

in ICICI Bank reduced due to additional capital raising by ICICI Bank and sale of shares by

ICICI, pursuant to the requirement stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India that ICICI dilute its

ownership of ICICI Bank. Effective March 10, 2001, ICICI Bank acquired Bank of Madura, an

old private sector bank, in an all-stock merger.

The issue of universal banking, which in the Indian context means the conversion of long-term

lending institutions such as ICICI into commercial banks, had been discussed at length over the

past several years. Conversion into a bank offered ICICI the ability to accept low-cost demand

deposits and offer a wider range of products and services, and greater opportunities for earning

non-fund based income in the form of banking fees and commissions. ICICI Bank also

considered various strategic alternatives in the context of the emerging competitive scenario in

the Indian banking industry. ICICI Bank identified a large capital base and size and scale of

operations as key success factors in the Indian banking industry. In view of the benefits of

transformation into a bank and the Reserve Bank of India‟s pronouncements on universal

banking, ICICI and ICICI Bank decided to merge.

At the time of the merger, both ICICI Bank and ICICI were publicly listed in India and on the

New York Stock Exchange. The amalgamation was approved by each of the boards of directors

of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services, ICICI Capital Services and ICICI Bank at their

respective board meetings held on October 25, 2001. The amalgamation was approved by ICICI

Bank‟s and ICICI‟s shareholders at their extraordinary general meetings held on January 25,

2002 and January 30, 2002, respectively. The amalgamation was sanctioned by the High Court

of Gujarat at Ahmedabad on March 7, 2002 and by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay on

April 11, 2002. The amalgamation became effective on May 3, 2002. The date of the

amalgamation for accounting purposes under Indian GAAP was March 30, 2002.

The Sangli Bank Limited, an unlisted private sector bank merged with ICICI Bank with effect

from April 19, 2007. On the date of acquisition, Sangli Bank had over 190 branches and

extension counters, total assets of Rs. 17.6billion (US$ 440 million), total deposits of Rs. 13.2

billion (US$ 330 million), total loans of Rs. 2.0 billion (US$ 50million).

3. PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK (PNB) Punjab National Bank (PNB) was registered on May 19, 1894 under the Indian Companies Act

with its office in Anarkali Bazaar Lahore. The Bank, founded by Dyal Singh Majithia and Lala

Harkishen Lal, is the second largest government-owned commercial bank in India with about

4,500 branches across 764 cities. It serves over 37 million customers. The bank has been ranked

248th biggest bank in the world by Bankers Almanac, London. Total Business of the bank for

financial year 2007 is estimated to be approximately US$60 billion. It has a banking subsidiary

in the UK, as well as branches in Hong Kong and Kabul, and representative offices in Almaty,

Shanghai, and Dubai.

We are a leading public sector commercial bank in India, offering banking products and services

to corporate and commercial, retail and agricultural customers. Our banking operations for

corporate and commercial customers include a range of products and services for large

corporations, as well as small and middle market businesses and government entities. We offer a

wide range of retail credit products including housing loans, personal loans and automobile

loans. We cater to the financing needs of the agricultural sector and have created innovative

financing products for farmers. We also provide significant financing to other priority sectors

including small scale industries. Through our treasury operations, we manage our balance sheet,

including the maintenance of required regulatory reserves, and seek to maximize profits from our

trading portfolio by taking advantage of market opportunities.

Our revenue, which is referred to herein and in our financial statements as our income, consists

of interest income and other income. Interest income consists of interest on advances (including

the discount on bills discounted) and income on investments. Income on investments consists of

interest and dividends from securities and our other investments and interest from interbank loan

and cash deposits we keep with the RBI. Our securities portfolio consists primarily of

7

Page 8: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

Government of India and state government securities. We meet our statutory liquidity reserve

ratio requirements through investments in these and other approved securities. We also hold

debentures and bonds issued by public sector undertakings and other corporations, commercial

paper, equity shares and mutual fund units.

Our interest expense consists of our interest on deposits as well as borrowings. Our interest

Income and expense are affected by fluctuations in interest rates as well as the volume of

activity. Our interest expense is also affected by the extent to which we fund our activities with

low interest or non-interest deposits, and the extent to which we rely on borrowings.

Our non-interest expense consists principally of operating expenses such as expenses for wages

and employee benefits, rent paid on premises, insurance, postage and telecommunications

expenses, printing and stationery, depreciation on fixed assets, other administrative and other

expenses. Provisioning for non-performing assets, depreciation on investments and income tax is

included in provisions and contingencies

We use a variety of indicators to measure our performance. These indicators are presented in

tabular form in the section titled “Selected Statistical Information” on page [·]. Our net interest

income represents our total interest income (on advances and investments) net of total interest

expense (on deposits and borrowings). Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest

income to the monthly average of total interest earning assets. Our spread represents the

difference between the yield on the monthly average of interest earning assets and the cost of the

monthly average of interest bearing liabilities. We calculate average yield on the monthly

average of advances and average yield on the monthly average of investments, as well as the

average cost of the monthly average of deposits and average cost of the monthly average of

borrowings. Our cost of funds is the weighted average of the average cost of the monthly average

of interest bearing liabilities. For purposes of these averages and ratios only, the interest cost of

the unsecured subordinated bonds that we issue for Tier 2 capital adequacy purposes (“Tier 2

bonds”) is included in our cost of interest bearing liabilities. In our financial statements, these

bonds are accounted for as “other liabilities and provisions” and their interest cost is accounted

for under other interest expenses.

Since 1969, when we became a public sector bank, we have managed to continue to grow our

business while maintaining a strong balance sheet. As of September 30, 2004, our total deposits

represented 85.9% of our total liabilities. On average, interest free demand deposits and low

8

Page 9: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

interest savings deposits represented 43.8% of these deposits in the first six months of fiscal

2005.These low-cost deposits led to an average cost of funds excluding equity for the first six

months of fiscal 2005 of 4.7%. As of September 30, 2004, our gross and net non-performing

assets constituted 7.65% and 0.30% of our gross and net advances, respectively. In fiscal 2004

our total income was Rs. 96.5 billion and our net profit was Rs. 11.1 billion before adjustment

and Rs. 10.6billion after adjustment as part of the restatement of our financial statements for this

Issue. In the first six months of fiscal 2005 our total income was Rs. 51.9 billion and our net

profit was Rs. 7.4billion. Between fiscal 2002 and 2004, our total income grew at a compound

annual rate of12.5%, ourunadjusted and adjusted net profit grew at a compound annual rate of

40.4% and37.4%, respectively, and our total deposits and total advances grew at a compound

annual growth rate of 17.1% and 17.2%, respectively.

We intend to maintain our position as a cost efficient and customer friendly institution that

Provides comprehensive financial and related services. We seek to achieve this by continuing to

adopt technology which will integrate our extensive branch network. We intend to grow by cross

selling various financial products and services to our customers and by expanding geographically

in India and internationally. We are committed to excellence in serving the public and also

maintaining high standards of corporate responsibility. In line with our philosophy of aiding

India‟s development we have opened branches in many rural areas.

CHAPTER:3

OBJECTIVES

Analysis of financial statements is an attempt to assess the efficiency and performance of an

enterprise. For that there are some objectives which are described as under.

1. EARNING CAPACITY OR PROFITABILITY

The overall objective of a business is to earn a satisfactory return on the funds invested in it.

Financial analysis helps in ascertaining whether adequate profits are being earned on the capital

invested in the business or not. It also helps in knowing the capacity to pay the interest and

dividend.

2. COMPARATIVE POSITION IN RELATION TO OTHER FIRMS

The purpose of financial statements analysis is to help the management to make a comparative

study of the profitability of various firms engaged in similar business. Such comparison also

helps the management to study the position of their firm in respect of sales expenses, profitability

and using capital.etc.

3. EFFICIENCY OF MANAGEMENT

The purpose of financial statement analysis is to know that the financial policies adopted by the

management are efficient or not. Analysis also helps the management in preparing budgets by

forecasting next year‟s profit on the basis of past earnings. It also helps the management to find

out shortcomings of the business so that remedial measures can be taken to remove these

shortcomings.

4. FINANCIAL STRENGTH

The purpose of financial analysis is to assess the financial potential of business. Analysis also

helps in taking decisions;

10

Page 11: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

(a) Whether funds required for the purchase of new machinery and equipments are provided

from internal resources of business or not.

(b) How much funds have been raised from external sources.

5.SOLVECNY OF THE FIRM

The different tools of analysis tells us whether the firm has suffucient funds to meet its short-

term and long-term liabilities or not.

11

Page 12: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

CHAPTER:4

IMPORTANCE

Ratio analysis is an important technique of financial analysis. It is a means for judging the

financial health of a business enterprise. It determines and interprets the

liquidity,solvency,profitability,etc. of a business enterprise.

It becomes simple to understand various figures in the financial statements through the use of

different ratios. Financial ratios simplify, sumarise, and systemise the accounting figures

presented in financial statements.

With the help of raito analysis, comparision of profitability and financial soundness can be

made between one industry and another. Similarly comparision of current year figures can also

be made with those of previous years with the help of ratio analysis and if some weak points are

located, remidial masures are taken to correct them.

If accounting ratios are calculated for a number of years, they will reveal the trend of costs,

sales, profits and other important facts. Such trends are useful for planning.

Financial ratios, based on a desired level of activities, can be set as standards for judging

actual performance of a business. For example, if owners of a business aim at earning profit @

25% on the capital which is the prevailing rate of return in the industry then this rate of 25%

becomes the standard. The rate of profit of each year is compared with this standard and the

actual performance of the business can be judged easily.

Ratio analysis discloses the position of business with different viewpoint. It discloses the

position of business with liquidity viewpoint, solvency view point, profitability viewpoint, etc.

with the help of such a study, we can draw conclusion regardings the financial health of business

enterprise.

CHAPTER:5

ADVANTAGES & LIMITATIONS

ADVANTAGES:

Ratio analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial analysis. The following are

some of the advantages of ratio analysis:

1. Simplifies financial statements: It simplifies the comprehension of financial statements. Ratios

tell the whole story of changes in the financial condition of the business.

2. Facilitates inter-firm comparison: It provides data for inter-firm comparison. Ratios highlight

the factors associated with with successful and unsuccessful firm. They also reveal strong firms

and weak firms, overvalued and undervalued firms.

3. Helps in planning: It helps in planning and forecasting. Ratios can assist management, in its

basic functions of forecasting. Planning, co-ordination, control and communications.

4. Makes inter-firm comparison possible: Ratios analysis also makes possible comparison of the

performance of different divisions of the firm. The ratios are helpful in deciding about their

efficiency or otherwise in the past and likely performance in the future.

5. Help in investment decisions: It helps in investment decisions in the case of investors and

lending decisions in the case of bankers etc.

LIMITATIONS:

The ratios analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial management. Though ratios are

simple to calculate and easy to understand, they suffer from serious limitations.

1. Limitations of financial statements: Ratios are based only on the information which has been

recorded in the financial statements. Financial statements themselves are subject to several

13

Page 14: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

limitations. Thus ratios derived, there from, are also subject to those limitations. For example,

non-financial changes though important for the business are not relevant by the financial

statements. Financial statements are affected to a very great extent by accounting conventions

and concepts. Personal judgment plays a great part in determining the figures for financial

statements.

2. Comparative study required: Ratios are useful in judging the efficiency of the business only

when they are compared with past results of the business. However, such a comparison only

provide glimpse of the past performance and forecasts for future may not prove correct since

several other factors like market conditions, management policies, etc. may affect the future

operations.

3. Problems of price level changes: A change in price level can affect the validity of ratios

calculated for different time periods. In such a case the ratio analysis may not clearly indicate the

trend in solvency and profitability of the company. The financial statements, therefore, be

adjusted keeping in view the price level changes if a meaningful comparison is to be made

through accounting ratios.

4. Lack of adequate standard: No fixed standard can be laid down for ideal ratios. There are no

well accepted standards or rule of thumb for all ratios which can be accepted as norm. It renders

interpretation of the ratios difficult.

5. Limited use of single ratios: A single ratio, usually, does not convey much of a sense. To make

a better interpretation, a number of ratios have to be calculated which is likely to confuse the

analyst than help him in making any good decision.

6. Personal bias: Ratios are only means of financial analysis and not an end in itself. Ratios have

to interpret and different people may interpret the same ratio in different way.

7. Incomparable: Not only industries differ in their nature, but also the firms of the similar

business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures etc. It makes comparison of ratios

difficult and misleading.

RATIO ANALYSIS

PROFITABILITY RATIO

A class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to generate earnings as

compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred during a specific period of time. For

most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a

previous period is indicative that the company is doing well.

Some examples of profitability ratios are profit margin, return on assets and return on equity. It is

important to note that a little bit of background knowledge is necessary in order to make relevant

comparisons when analyzing these ratios.

For instances, some industries experience seasonality in their operations. The retail industry, for

example, typically experiences higher revenues and earnings for the Christmas season.

Therefore, it would not be too useful to compare a retailer's fourth-quarter profit margin with its

first-quarter profit margin. On the other hand, comparing a retailer's fourth-quarter profit margin

with the profit margin from the same period a year before would be far more informative.

OPERATING MARGIN

A ratio used to measure a company's pricing strategy and operating efficiency. Operating margin

is a measurement of what proportion of a company's revenue is left over after paying for variable

costs of production such as wages, raw materials, etc. A healthy operating margin is required for

a company to be able to pay for its fixed costs, such as interest on debt. It Is Also known as

"operating profit margin."

Calculated as:

Operating margin= Operating Income

Net sales

Operating margin gives analysts an idea of how much a company makes (before interest and

taxes) on each dollar of sales. When looking at operating margin to determine the quality of a

company, it is best to look at the change in operating margin over time and to compare the

company's yearly or quarterly figures to those of its competitors. If a company's margin is

18

Page 19: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

increasing, it is earning more per dollar of sales. The higher the margin, the better. For example,

if a company has an operating margin of 12%, this means that it makes $0.12 (before interest and

taxes) for every dollar of sales. Often, nonrecurring cash flows, such as cash paid out in a lawsuit

settlement, are excluded from the operating margin calculation because they don't represent a

company's true operating performance.

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 22.69%

2 ICICI 14.45%

3 PNB 21.47%

INTERPRETATION

It shows that operating efficiency of SBI is better than PNB and ICICI. While operating

efficiency of ICICI is lower than PNB and SBI. So rank of operating efficiency of banks can be

given as SBI, PNB and ICICI.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN:

A financial metric used to assess a firm's financial health by revealing the proportion of money

left over from revenues after accounting for the cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin serves as

the source for paying additional expenses and future savings. It is also known as "gross margin".

Calculated as:

Gross Profit Margin= Revenue−COGS

Revenue

19

Page 20: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

For example, suppose that ABC Corp. earned $20 million in revenue from producing widgets

and incurred $10 million in COGS-related expense. ABC's gross profit margin would be 50%.

This means that for every dollar that ABC earns on widgets, it really has only $0.50 at the end of

the day.

This metric can be used to compare a company with its competitors. More efficient companies

will usually see higher profit margins.

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 21.49%

2 ICICI 12.99%

3 PNB 20.67%

INTERPRETATION

This ratio shows financial position of company. Here, financial position of SBI is better than

PNB and ICICI. So SBI is at first rank by its financial position than PNB and ICICI.

NET PROFIT MARGIN

For a business to survive in the long term it must generate profit. Therefore the net profit margin

ratio is one of the key performance indicators for your business.

The net profit margin ratio indicates profit levels of a business after all costs have been taken

into account. It is worth analysing the ratio over time. A variation in the ratio from year to year

20

Page 21: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

may be due to abnormal conditions or expenses. Variations may also indicate cost blowouts

which need to be addressed.

A decline in the ratio over time may indicate a margin squeeze suggesting that productivity

improvements may need to be initiated. In some cases, the costs of such improvements may lead

to a further drop in the ratio or even losses before increased profitability is achieved.

The calculation used to obtain the ratio is:

Net Profit Margin= Net PrpfitSales

×100

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 11.67%

2 ICICI 10.51%

3 PNB 12.68%

INTERPRETATION

This ratio is key performance indicators for business. Key performance means the profit level of

company; from above graph we can say that performance of PNB is better than SBI and ICICI.

So profit level of PNB is at first rank than comes SBI and ICICI.

RETURN ON NETWORTH

21

Page 22: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

Return on Net worth (RONW) is used in finance as a measure of a company‟s profitability. It

reveals how much profit a company generates with the money that the equity shareholders have

invested. Therefore, it is also called „Return on Equity‟ (ROE)

It is expressed as:-

Net Income

RONW = ------------------------------------------- X 100

Shareholder‟s Equity

The numerator is equal to a fiscal year‟s net income (after payment of preference share

dividends but before payment of equity share dividends).The denominator excludes preference

shares and considers only the equity shareholding. So, RONW measures how much return the

company management can generate for its equity shareholders.

RONW is a measure for judging the returns that a shareholder gets on his investment as a

shareholder, equity represents your money and so it makes good sense to know how well

management is doing with it.

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 13.72%

2 ICICI 8.94%

3 PNB 19.00%

22

Page 23: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

INTERPRETATION

This ratio is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same

industry. Here, profitability of PNB is more than SBI and PNB. So we can say that PNB is at

first rank by its profitability than comes SBI and ICICI.

LEVERAGE RATIO:

Any ratio used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of the company's

methods of financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations. There are several

different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt, equity, assets and interest expenses.

A ratio used to measure a company's mix of operating costs, giving an idea of how changes in

output will affect operating income. Fixed and variable costs are the two types of operating costs;

depending on the company and the industry, the mix will differ.

The most well known financial leverage ratio is the debt-to-equity ratio. For example, if a

company has $10M in debt and $20M in equity, it has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5

($10M/$20M). Companies with high fixed costs, after reaching the breakeven point, see a greater

increase in operating revenue when output is increased compared to companies with high

variable costs. The reason for this is that the costs have already been incurred, so every sale after

the breakeven transfers to the operating income. On the other hand, a high variable cost company

sees little increase in operating income with additional output, because costs continue to be

imputed into the outputs. The degree of operating leverage is the ratio used to calculate this mix

and its effects on operating income.

DEBT-EQUITY RATIO:

A measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities by

stockholders' equity.

Debt-Equity Ratio= Total Liabilities

Shareholders Equity

Note: Sometimes only interest-bearing, long-term debt is used instead of total liabilities in the

calculation. It is also known as the Personal Debt/Equity Ratio, this ratio can be applied to

personal financial statements as well as companies'.

A high debt/equity ratio generally means that a company has been aggressive in financing its

growth with debt. This can result in volatile earnings as a result of the additional interest

expense. If a lot of debt is used to finance increased operations (high debt to equity), the

company could potentially generate more earnings than it would have without this outside

financing. If this were to increase earnings by a greater amount than the debt cost (interest), then

the shareholders benefit as more earnings are being spread among the same amount of

shareholders. However, the cost of this debt financing may outweigh the return that the company

generates on the debt through investment and business activities and become too much for the

company to handle. This can lead to bankruptcy, which would leave shareholders with nothing.

The debt/equity ratio also depends on the industry in which the company operates. For example,

capital-intensive industries such as auto manufacturing tend to have a debt/equity ratio above 2,

while personal computer companies have a debt/equity of under 0.5.

INTERPRETATION

This ratio indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company is using to finance its assets.

From above diagram we can say that PNB has a high debt-equity ratio means it is aggressive in

financing its growth with debt. Than after SBI has a low debt-equity ratio as comparison with

PNB and ICICI comes at third rank in debt-equity ratio.

FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:

Measure of the productivity of a firm, it indicates the amount of sales generated by each dollar

spent on fixed assets, and the amount of fixed assets required to generate a specific level of

revenue. Changes in the ratio over time reflect whether or not the firm is becoming more

efficient in the use of its fixed assets. Formula: Sales revenue ÷ average fixed assets.

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 6.31%

2 ICICI 5.61%

INTERPRETATION

This ratio shows specific level of revenue by the amount of fixed assets. SBI has a high level of

revenue in comparison with ICICI and PNB. After SBI, ICICI has a high level of revenue and

than comes PNB at last.

LIQUIDITY RATIO:

A class of financial metrics that is used to determine a company's ability to pay off its short-

terms debts obligations. Generally, the higher the value of the ratio, the larger the margin of

safety that the company possesses to cover short-term debts.

Common liquidity ratios include the current ratio, the quick ratio and the operating cash flow

ratio. Different analysts consider different assets to be relevant in calculating liquidity. Some

analysts will calculate only the sum of cash and equivalents divided by current liabilities because

they feel that they are the most liquid assets, and would be the most likely to be used to cover

short-term debts in an emergency.

A company's ability to turn short-term assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance

when creditors are seeking payment. Bankruptcy analysts and mortgage originators frequently

use the liquidity ratios to determine whether a company will be able to continue as a going

concern.

CURRENT RATIO:

This ratio is a rough indication of a firm's ability to service its current obligations. Generally, the

higher the current ratio, the greater the "cushion" between current obligations and your

Company's ability to pay them. The composition and quality of current assets is a critical factor

in the analysis of your Company's liquidity. It is calculated as Total current assets divided by

total current liabilities.

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 0.07%

2 ICICI 0.10%

3 PNB 0.02%

INTERPRETATION

Current ratio of ICICI is higher than SBI and PNB, means ICICI has a high ability to pay for its

liabilities, and than secondly comes SBI and PNB has a low ability to pay for liabilities in

comparison with ICICI and PNB.

QUICK RATIO:

It is also known as the "Acid Test" ratio; it is a refinement of the current ratio and is a more

conservative measure of liquidity. The ratio expresses the degree to which your current

Company's current liabilities are covered by the most liquid current assets. Generally, any value

of less than 1 to 1 implies a "dependency" on inventory or other current assets to liquidate short-

term debt.

It is calculated as Cash plus trade receivables divided by total current liabilities.

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 0.07%

2 ICICI 0.10%

3 PNB 0.02%

INTERPRETATION

PNB has a high quick ratio means it has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities,

while SBI and ICICI have a low quick ratio in comparison with PNB.

PAYOUT RATIOS:

The amount of earnings paid out in dividends to shareholders. Investors can use the payout ratio

to determine what companies are doing with their earnings.

Calculated as:

Payout Ratio= Dividends per ShareEarning Per Share

For example, a very low payout ratio indicates that a company is primarily focused on retaining

its earnings rather than paying out dividends. The payout ratio also indicates how well earnings

support the dividend payments: the lower the ratio, the more secure the dividend because smaller

dividends are easier to pay out than larger dividends.

DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO: Dividend payout ratio is the fraction of net income a firm pays

to its stockholders in dividends:

28

Page 29: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

Dividend Payout Ratio= Dividends

Net Income for the same period

The part of the earnings not paid to investors is left for investment to provide for future earnings

growth. Investors seeking high current income and limited capital growth prefer companies with

high Dividend payout ratio. However investors seeking capital growth may prefer lower payout

ratio because capital gains are taxed at a lower rate. High growth firms in early life generally

have low or zero payout ratios. As they mature, they tend to return more of the earnings back to

investors. Note that dividend payout ratio is a reciprocate ratio to dividend cover, which is

calculated as EPS/DPS.

RATIO AT 31-MARCH 2012

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 22.64%

2 ICICI 33.12%

3 PNB 23.40%

INTERPRETATION

ICICI has a high dividend payout ratio, so the Investors who are seeking high current income and

limited capital growth should be invest in ICICI bank. PNB and SBI have a low dividend payout

ratio, so investors who are seeking capital growth should be invest in PNB and SBI because

capital gains are taxed at a lower rate.

EARNING RETENTION RATIO:

The percent of earnings credited to retained earnings. In other words, the proportion of net

income that is not paid out as dividends.

29

Calculated as:

Earning Retention Ratio= Net Income−Dividends

Nat Income

It can also be calculated as one minus the dividend payout ratio.

SR. NO. NAME OF BANK PERCENTAGE

1 SBI 77.33%

2 ICICI 66.35%

3 PNB 76.59%

INTERPRETATION

Earning retention ratio is the opposite of the dividend payout ratio. SBI and PNB have a high

earning retention ratio, so the Investors who are seeking high current income and limited capital

growth should be invest in SBI and PNB. ICICI has a low earning retention ratio, so the

investors who are seeking capital growth should be invest in ICICI BANK.

PERSHARE RATIOS

EARNIG PER SHARE:

The portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Earnings

per share serve as an indicator of a company's profitability.

Calculated as:

Earnig Per Share=Net Income−DividendsOnPreffered Stock

Averag eOutstanding Shares

30

Page 31: Finance PROJECT REPORT ON “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOP THREE BANKS OF INDIA”

When calculating, it is more accurate to use a weighted average number of shares outstanding

over the reporting term, because the number of shares outstanding can change over time.

However, data sources sometimes simplify the calculation by using the number of shares

outstanding at the end of the period.

Diluted EPS expands on basic EPS by including the shares of convertibles or warrants

outstanding in the outstanding shares number.

Earnings per share are generally considered to be the single most important variable in

determining a share's price. It is also a major component used to calculate the price-to-earnings

valuation ratio.

For example, assume that a company has a net income of $25 million. If the company pays out

$1 million in preferred dividends and has 10 million shares for half of the year and 15 million

shares for the other half, the EPS would be $1.92 (24/12.5). First, the $1 million is deducted from

the net income to get $24 million, and then a weighted average is taken to find the number of

shares outstanding (0.5 x 10M+ 0.5 x 15M = 12.5M). An important aspect of EPS that's often

ignored is the capital that is required to generate the earnings (net income) in the calculation.

Two companies could generate the same EPS number, but one could do so with less equity

(investment) - that company would be more efficient at using its capital to generate income and,

all other things being equal, would be a "better" company. Investors also need to be aware of

earnings manipulation that will affect the quality of the earnings number. It is important not to

rely on any one financial measure, but to use it in conjunction with statement analysis and other

measures.
