MAKING SENSE OF THE NUMBERS


Profit and Loss Account
FY08E
All things being equal, companies with
higher sales growth rates are generally
more preferable than those with slower
revenue growth rates.

Total expenses should be seen in


relation to revenue trends for previous
years and quarters, as it impact the
overall profit which is aviable to
shareholderes.
Check for variations in non-operating
expenses including interests,
depreiciation and taxes as these decide
the final profit which is available to
shareholders

Net profit growth is a very important


parameter to look into, however EPS
growth is even more important as
companies with expanding equity base
may show restrictive EPS growth.

A Profit and Loss Account or an Income Statement represents how much money a company has made from selling its product/
service during a specified time period (i.e. month, quarter, year, etc.), how much money it spent for selling and making those product/
services and the money it actually earned during that period.

Balance Sheet
When we look for variations in a
balance sheet from year-to-year, one
can detect the companys growth
potential and value. It shows us how
profits are used to finance the
company's operations, and if the
company has enough cash for growth.
Leverage (long-term debt/total net
worth), represents how assets are
financed by the company, that is,
whether by debt or retained earnings. If
a company has a high amount of
leverage, or debt, then its earnings per
share (EPS) would be highly sensitive
and volatile depending upon the
business growth or de-growth.
Another important ratio is the current
ratio (current assets/current liabilities),
that shows the ability of the company to
pay its short-term obligations. When
compared with industry average, a
lower ratio may indicate possible
liquidity problems.

be forced to close down.

Ratios

Investment ratios are important for investors


as they are good reference points for
ascertaining the value of a company shares.

Profitability ratios measure the ability of the


business to make a profit and tell us how
much profit, on average, business has earned
per rupee of turnover. Look at the trend from
one period to another and check for any
improvements or deterioration
Liquidity ratios measure the company's capacity
to pay its debts. These ratios are often used by
creditors to determine the ability of the business
to repay loans and are indicator of the
businesses' vulnerability to risk.
Efficiency ratios indicates the number of times
sales had been generated by the available
capital employed (CE). An increase in the
asset turnover in the current year over that of
the previous year indicates efficient utilization
of assets which is expected to lead to an
increase in profitability.

USERS GUIDE
Assets

Current Ratio

The resources owned by a company that is expected to provide


benefits to its business. Total assets are shown in Rupees crores
and represent the last day of the specified reporting period.

Current ration is equal to current assets divided by current liabilities


and is a measure of company's liquidity of a business, i.e. its ability
to meet its short-term obligations. Also referred to as the Liquidity
Ratio.

Asset Turnover
This figure represents how many dollars in revenue a company
has generated per dollar of assets. It is calculated by dividing total
revenues for the period by total assets for the same period. In
comparison, the industry average and S&P 500 are shown for the
most recent fiscal year. Asset turnover can give an indication of
how efficient a company is. A high asset turnover, which
expresses how many times a company sells-or turns over-its
assets in a year is a sign of high efficiency.
Balance Sheet
Balance sheet represents how much a company owns (equivalent
to its assets), how much it owes (equivalent to its liabilities) and
the difference between the two i.e. equity, which is part owned
by shareholders.
Book Value

as total assets minus total liabilities. Book value per share is net
worth divided by shares outstanding and shows how much of
equity is represented by each share of stock
Capital Expenditure

future growth of its business and includes land, plant, equipments,
intellectual property rights etc.
Cash Flow
Cash Flow shows the movement of cash in and out of a business
from day-to-day operations and other indirect effects, such as
capital expenditure, tax and dividend payments etc. Cash flow

differences such as depreciation, but before adjusting for
investments (such as purchases of plants or equipment) or
financing.
Current Assets
Current assets include cash and anything that is expected to be
converted into cash within twelve months of the balance sheet
date. Current assets when used in comparison with current
liabilities is a good measure of company's short term liquidity.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities are liabilities which the company expects to pay
within twelve months of the balance sheet date on account of
trade creditors, dividend etc. Current liabilities when used in
comparison with current assets is a good measure of company's
short term liquidity.

Debt to equity ratio


Debt/equity ratio equals company's total debt (including short term
and long term obligations) divided by shareholders equity (also
known as networth). This ratio indicates the amount of liabilities
the business has for every rupee of shareholders' equity. This

analysis companies that have large amounts of fixed assets which
are subject to heavy depreciation charges (such as manufacturing
companies) or in the case where a company has a large amount of
acquired intangible assets on its books and is thus subject to large
amortization charges (such as a company that has purchased a
brand or a company that has recently made a large acquisition).
Enterprise Value (EV)
EV is a measure of what the market believes a company's ongoing
operations are worth. Enterprise value is equal to (company's
market capitalization + debt - cash and cash equivalents). EV is of
significant importance to both individual investors and potential
acquirers considering a takeover of the company.
EV/EBITDA

earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation. EV/
EBITDA has an edge over P/E ratio as it is unaffected by company's

of debt to earnings before interest. If a business has debt, a buyer
of that business clearly needs to take that debt into account in
valuing the business, which the EV reflects.
Forward P/E

fiscal year. This ratio indicates how cheap or expensive a stock is
as compared to forward earnings estimates. The lower the forward

well the company firm has used reinvested earnings to generate

FAQs ABOUT DETAILED COMPANY REPORTS


How should I use the detailed company reports for my investments?
The detailed company report is an ideal product for a long-term investor who is looking for decent returns over the next six to 18 months.
How do you select the company and how are the recommendations made?
The detailed company reports are prepared by analysts who are specialists in that particular sector and who have deep understanding of
the sector dynamics, business fundamentals, industry trends, etc. Every report is made only after meeting the management of the
company and understanding the future prospects. Detailed forecasting of the profit and loss and balance sheet is done subsequently to
give a fair picture of the future of the company to the investors.
What should I do if the stock is above the recommended price?
You can buy the stock even if the stock has moved up by 10-15% after recommendation. An investor should look at the upside potential
from his entry price considering the target price. For example if the recommended price is Rs 100 and the target price is Rs 150 and the
current market price is Rs 115, one can still enter the stock for an upside potential of Rs 35.
When should I book profits?
Ideally one should wait for the target price to be achieved. However, if you are satisfied with the profits you may exit the stock.
The recommended stock has not moved up for quite some time. What should I do?
We come up with updates every quarter and you should look for any change in recommendation. If for some reason the performance fails
to live up to the expectation we may revise the rating and advise an appropriate action in the stock.
What happens if the stock falls below the recommended price?
Typically there will be few cases when the stock will fall below the recommended price. As the stock is for the long-term one should hold
on to the stock. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances the stock falls below the recommended price we would communicate
the next action in the updates.
What should I understand from the Profit and Loss Account, and Balance Sheet numbers?
See page 2.
How much money should I invest in one stock?
One should not invest more than 5-10% of the total investible surplus in one stock. For example if you have Rs 100,000 to invest, not
more than Rs 5000-Rs 10,000 should be invested in the stock.
