1. Liquidity Ratio

Liquidity ratios measure your company’s ability to cover its expenses. The two most commonliquidity ratios are the current ratio and the quick ratio

1.1 Current ratio

The current ratio is a reflection of financial strength. It is the number of times a company’scurrent assets exceed its current liabilities, which is an indication of the solvency of the business.

1.2 Quick Ratio

The quick ratio is also called the “acid test” ratio. That’s because the quick ratio looks only ata company’s most liquid assets and compares them to current liabilities. The quick ratio testswhether a business can meet its obligations even if adverse conditions occur.

The formula to compute the current ratio:Current Ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities

Here is the formula for the quick ratio:Quick Ratio = (Total Current Assets - Total Inventory) / Total Current Liabilities

RATIO ANALYSIS OF HR TEXTILES MILLS LTD.

Comparisons:HR textiles Mills’ current ratio is clearly way below compared to the industry standard.

With a little fluctuation (less than 0.1), its current ratio is close to 1.0 where the standard is 4.1times. In 2007 and 2008, the ratio was almost same at 0.97 times and in 2009 it slightly declined to 0.94 times and again recovered in 2010 by reaching 0.98times. In 2011 its ratio reached to 1.01 which is best ratio achieved in recent five years.

This is because there is hardly any gape between the current assets and current liabilities. With the increase of current assets in each year the current liabilities also increased.

6 | P a g e

Page 7: Ratio Analysis of Hr Textiles

RATIO ANALYSIS OF HR TEXTILES MILLS LTD.

So the company continuously suffered in meeting current obligation through 2007 to 2011 with its current assets.

HR textiles Mills’ quick ratio is also much lower than the expected standard. A company should have twice (2.1 times) of itsquick current assets than its current liabilities. But HR textiles Mills’ quick ratio was around 0.75 which minimally rose to .85 in 2010 and .89 in 2011.

The quick ratio has improved slightly in 2010 and 2011 and reached to .89 which was around 0.75 in 2007 to 2009. The quick ratio improved a bit in 2010 and 2011 as the company observed the hightest current assets along with lowest stock available in that period.

The condition of the cost of goods sold is higher than the stocks &stores of HR Textile in which the revenue is increasing day by day.

11 | P a g e

Page 12: Ratio Analysis of Hr Textiles

RATIO ANALYSIS OF HR TEXTILES MILLS LTD.

The fixed asset turnover ratio of HR Textile is not suitable between the year of 2007 to 2010 of HR Textile with the company standard. But in 2011 the fixed asset turnover ratio is increased with the company standard.

The total asset turnover ratio of HR Textile ltd is good with the company averages. But in one year among 2007 to 2011 is low from the company standard.

Recommendation:

The overall inventory turnover ratio of HR Textile is not so good. The fixed asset turnover ratio is also not suitable for HR Textile ltd. But the total asset turnover ratio is standard for the HR Textile ltd. The HR textile has arises some problem in the overall asset management ratio. They should recover the problem for the betterment of the organization. If we are comparing an old 12 | P a g e

firm that acquired many of its fixed asset years ago at low prices with a new company that acquired its fixed asset only, we probably would find that old firm has a higher fixed asset turnover ratio

3. Debt Management Ratio

5. Market Value Ratio:

The ratios that make a relation between the firm’s stock price to its earnings and book value per share is known as Market Value Ratios. The impact of all the above ratios liquidity, Asset Management, Profitability has direct influence on the Market Value ratios.

RATIO ANALYSIS OF HR TEXTILES MILLS LTD.

We can observe the net profit or income of the company has been rising from 2007 to 2012. This leaves a hope for the shareholders to receive higher return on their stock. But if carefully analyzed the positive changes have been brought about a little.

Most shareholders are interested in net profit after tax and interest, because this is the sum of money available for distribution.By dividing the profits that are potentially available for distribution (net profit after interest and tax) as dividend by the number of shares, we get a figure of earnings per share.It is also visible that earnings per share have been increased from 2007 to 2011. From 2008 to 2009 it slightly decreased as the rise in profit was only 73565 TK. Again from 2010 to 2011 there has been a sharp rise in earnings per share of10.58 TK (26.13-15.55) indicating an enormous amount of huge profit has been distributed among shareholders. For any company an increase in earnings per share is a good sign of its progress and has the ability to withhold the shareholders for a long time. Hence shareholders are gaining more in each share.

The market price per share has been remaining constant throughout the years from 2007 to 2011. This indicates there have not been any major changes in the market or share price fluctuations and the prices remained similar every year. As a result the Price/Earnings Ratio seems to maintain a constant structure through 2007 to 2011.

Now if we look into Price/Earnings ratio we see that the standard is 13.0 times. From the data we can see that not much were the price/earnings ratio of these years even closer to the industry standard. There is a huge gap between the standard and actual ratios. In 2007, it was the lowest of 0.1073 times. In 2008 it increased less proportionately and again fell in 2009. Moreover, there has been a slight rise from 2009 to 2011. But this rise is far below the standard. This is not a good sign for the company. This situation is considered as risk for the firm. The investors would be unlikely to invest in this firm. HR would not be able to hold its position in the market and become risky firm. It declines the possibilities of future expected profitability. In addition to that fluctuations in market price of shares are a big concern. In spite of being market price fixed, price/earnings ratio was way below the standard, if there is any fluctuation then that makes it even more risky.

Recommendation:

HR textiles earnings per share from 2007 to 2011 have beenhigher indicating good return for the shareholders from high net income of the company. But the company also has to keep in mind that all the profit cannot be distributed to shareholders but

save it for future. It is termed as “Retained Profits”. The net income after tax and interest should be reserved for future benefits.

Price/Earnings ratio holds a huge gap compared to its standard. This indicates high risk for the firm. The increase in the ratio was lower and maintains a fixed structure. HR also should focus on the market price. Till 2011 the market price of share was constant but this would not last. Also the company is not meeting its standard ratio which may also prove risky for any further future growth prospects. This would fail to attract investors and HR should follow certain strategies to reach its standard ratio. The firm should be enough successful so that there is higher growth possibilities. Therisk-averse investors would be unlikely to invest in these shares.

Conclusion

HR Textiles Mills Company is one of the leading textiles companies in Bangladesh. Its financial position in the market has been very strong throughout the years but from 2007-2011 the detail survey of their financial ratios have sort out many confusions. Many things emerged and a lot of problems were recognized. The performance of the company was more clearly identified. From the five major ratios Profitability, Liquidity, Asset management, Debt and Market Value ratios, more detailed analysis has helped in understanding their weaknesses, strengths, opportunities that they may enjoy and the threats they are likely to face.

To begin with Profitability Ratios, they show how profitable a firm is, they are the measure of the overall performance. It also measures how well the firm is operating or how well the current performance is compared to past performance records. The Net Profit Margin on Sales improved in 2010 and 2011 as it was far above the company standard of 4.7%. Another ratio Return on Asset was not favorable enough and was far below the standard. Moreover, Return on Equity also was not in a good condition as it has a huge gap from the standards and the actual incurred from 2007 to 2011. Overall the profitability situation of the company is not so good. It needs a lot of recovery. It needs to develop its strategies and focus more on improving net profits, high sales and ensure high return on asset and equity.

Secondly Liquidity ratio measures whether a company has sufficient current assets to meet its current liabilities. It evaluates a company’s ability to pay its creditors within due time. The company has enough cash to meet the debts. There are two ratios. Firstly, current ratio that measures current assets to meet current liabilities has a standard of 4.1 times. During the financial years 2007 to 2011, the company was not in a good condition where in any year the standard position was not met. Also we observed that the total current liabilities increased with the total current assets which might be a reason for such a ratio. Another ratio is Quick ratio which measures whether the quick convertible assets are capable of meeting the current liabilities. The standard for quick ratio was 2.1 times but in the years 2007 to 2011 no such ratio even closer to that was obtained. This indicates company had excess liabilities compared to assets

Overall the company is not in a sound liquid position where it is weak in meeting its current obligations. There is a need for improving the liquid assets if the company has to run debt-free.

Thirdly Asset Management ratio shows how effectively the firm is managing its assets. The first ratio is Inventory turnover ratio which far below the standard of 7.4 times. In all the years from 2007 to 2011 it sustained in a position between 1.5 to 2.5 times. This indicates that the company is holding too many stocks which are not being sold on time and have the risk of being obsolete. Fixed asset turnover also was not favorable to its standard but in 2010 and 2011 it was a little closer to that. This suggests that firm could hardly use its fixed assets to generate sales. The third ratio is Total Asset Turnover which has a standard of 2.1 times. Only in 2008 was the company able to reach closer to the standard otherwise needs a thorough recovery indicating the firm is not generating sufficient volume of business from its investment on total assets. Overall the Asset Management ratio was not in favorable condition indicating firm needs to invest properly on its assets so that it brings positive effects on turnover generation.

Fourth, Debt Management ratio evaluates a firm’s capacity in managing its debts effectively. The first ratio is Debt ratio which has a standard of 45%. HR textiles seem to have a higher debt ratio in the years 2007 to 2011. This is risky for firm as it would be now liable to pay the huge debt to its both short term and long term liabilities.Overall firm should consider in managing debts in such a way that does not put an obligation rather becomes easier through increasing sales, issue of stocks etc.

Finally Market Value that relates firm’s stock price with earnings and book value. Earnings per share have been increasing throughout the years 2007 to 2011. This is a good sign for the company where shareholders receive high on their ownership of shares. Alternatively, market price remaining constant Price/Earnings ratio is not in a favorable condition and far below the standard of 13.0 times indicating a risky firm and less growth prospects in future.

Overall company should try maintaining a good condition so that it attracts more investors from their high returns for shareholders.
