Hello, I'm James, you're watching Accounting Stuff and today we're covering financial ratios.

I'll explain what financial ratios are, we'll break them down into five main groups,

and then I'll show you how to work out 25 financial ratios in 25 minutes.

Ambitious, I know, but we've got this!

Before we get started, I want to say a big thanks to all my channel members.

Your support is always appreciated.

Thank you.

Financial Statements.

Financial ratio analysis begins with financial statements.

Accounting reports that summarize the financial activities and performance of a business.

The three main financial statements are the income statement, the balance sheet and the cash flow statement.

However, we can work out most financial ratios using only the income statement and the balance sheet.

The income statement looks like this.

It gives us a summary of a business's revenues and expenses over a period of time.

And then we have the balance sheet which gives us a snapshot of a business's assets,

liabilities and equity at a point in time.

So what is financial ratio analysis?

Good question.

A ratio tells us how much of one thing we have compared to another thing.

In a financial ratio we compare the size of one line in a financial statement against another.

Usually we can find these line items in the income statement

or the balance sheet and most of the time financial ratios are shown as percentages.

Whenever that's the case we multiply by 100.

Financial ratio analysis is the process of comparing different financial ratios over time and across different businesses.

What types of financial ratio are there?

I like to break them down into five main groups.

Profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, efficiency ratios, leverage ratios and price ratios.

Now, I'll show you how to work out 25 of the most popular financial ratios that live in each of these groups.

If you want to make some notes, then now might be a good time to grab yourself a pen and paper.

Or if you'd like to stay focused on this video, I've made some financial ratios cheat sheets that summarize pretty much everything I'm about to cover.

You can find them on my website.

The link is down in the description and the proceeds help support this channel.

We'll kick things off with profitability ratios.

Profitability ratios measure how efficiently a business generates profit from four different things.

Revenue, assets, equity and capital employed.

We can break them down into margin ratios and return ratios.

Margin ratios measure how well a business converts revenue into profit.

We can calculate margin ratios using one simple formula.

profit margin is equal to profit divided by revenue.

Profit and revenue live in the income statement.

Revenue is on the top line, it's the earnings that a business generates over a period of time

and profit is the financial gain left in the business after deducting expenses.

As you can see there are three types of profit in an income statement.

Gross profit, operating profit and net profit.

Gross profit is the big one at the top.

It's a business's revenue minus its cost of sales.

And if we take gross profit

and divide it by revenue then we can find a business's gross profit margin

which is the first of our 25 financial ratios.

Gross profit margin tells us how much big profit a business is able to generate from each dollar of revenue earned.

It's a similar story with the other margin ratios.

If we move further down the income statement and subtract operating expenses as well then we get to operating profit.

Operating profit divided by revenue gives us our second financial ratio operating profit margin.

And if we head down to the bottom line of the income statement we have net profit.

This is the residual profit that's left over after deducting all of the business's expenses.

And net profit divided by revenue is, you guessed it, net profit margin, our third margin ratio.

If you'd like to learn about these in a bit more depth, I've made videos covering each of these ratios.

I plan to do the same for the rest of the financial ratios in this playlist, so don't forget to subscribe if you'd like to watch those.

But what about return ratios?

Return ratios work in a similar way but this time we have net profit on the top of the equation.

As we saw a moment ago net profit can be found on the bottom line of an income statement.

In a return ratio we measure how much net profit a business is able to generate relative to its assets,

equity or capital employed.

We can find all three of these in the balance sheet.

Assets make up the left-hand side of a balance sheet.

Total assets represent all of the stuff that a business owns at a point in time.

If we take a business's net profit from the income statement and divide it by total assets from the balance sheet,

then we've calculated its return on assets or ROA.

Hold up, I want to point out one thing.

When we compare a line item from the income statement against

a line item from the balance sheet like we have here it's a good idea to use the average balance sheet number.

This is

because the balance sheet is a snapshot at a point in time whereas the income statement covers a period of time.

If we average the opening and closing balance sheet numbers then we can compare like with like.

I won't mention this every time it comes up but please keep it in mind.

On the right hand side of the balance sheet we have liabilities and equity.

Together these represent the stuff that a business owes.

A business owes liabilities to third parties and it owes equity back to its owners.

Total equity is the owner's or shareholder's claim on the net assets of the business.

And return on equity or ROE is equal to a business's net profit divided by its total equity.

Return on equity shows us how efficiently a business uses its owner's money to generate bottom line profit.

But there's a problem.

Some businesses choose to take out very large loans to fund their operations.

This reduces the owner's claim on net assets and it can inflate return on equity.

In these situations it can be better to use capital employed.

Capital employed is a business's total asset minus its current liabilities.

It ignores all long-term debt used to fund operations.

Net profit divided by capital employed is return on capital employed or ROCE.

ROCY.

ROCY can even go a step further and use operating profit instead of net profit.

So return on capital employed is equal to a business's earnings before interest and tax divided by its capital employed.

At number six, this is our last return ratio and our last profitability ratio.

Let's move on to liquidity ratios.

Liquidity ratios measure how well a business can cover its short-term debt obligations using different assets.

The calculation looks something like this a liquidity ratio is equal to some assets divided by current liabilities

these assets on the top are used to cover a business's

short-term debt obligations on the bottom everything you see here can be found on the balance sheet

which makes things nice

and simple current liabilities can be found on the right hand side of a balance sheet there are businesses obligations

100

that need to be settled within one year.

101

On the left we have assets.

102

Liquid assets are the stuff that a business owns that can be converted into cash quickly and easily.

103

The most liquid asset of them all is cash itself.

104

If we take cash and divide it by current liabilities then we have the cash ratio.

105

If the cash ratio is bigger than one then a business

106

is able to pay off all its short-term debt obligations with the cash that it has on hand.

107

This is an indicator of good financial health.

108

But it isn't always possible.

109

Sometimes we need to look at all of the business's liquid assets on the balance sheet.

110

So that means cash, marketable securities like short-term investments and accounts receivable.

111

Inventory and prepaid expenses aren't considered to be liquid assets.

112

We can find the quick ratio by taking all liquid assets and dividing them by current liabilities.

113

This checks if a business can cover its short-term debt obligations using everything that can quickly be converted into cash.

114

But we can go a step further too.

115

We can consider all of a business's current assets including inventory and prepaid expenses.

116

That gives us the current ratio.

117

Current assets divided by current liabilities.

118

This is our ninth financial ratio and the last of our liquidity ratios.

119

Now let's move on to efficiency ratios.

120

Efficiency ratios measure how effective a business is at selling inventory to customers,

121

how quickly it's able to collect cash back from them and how reliably it pays off its creditors.

122

There are two parts to this.

123

We have turnover ratios and we have the cash conversion cycle.

124

Turnover ratios measure how quickly a business conducts its operations.

125

They compare one line from the income statement against a related line in the balance sheet.

126

Take the inventory turnover ratio for example.

127

In this one we divide cost of goods sold in the income statement by inventory in the balance sheet.

128

The inventory turnover ratio tells us how many times a business has sold and replenished its inventory over a period of time.

129

The receivables turnover ratio works in a similar way.

130

This time we divide revenue in the income statement by accounts receivable in the balance sheet.

131

This one measures how efficiently a business collects cash from its customers.

132

If we instead divide revenue by total assets from the balance sheet then we also have the asset turnover ratio.

133

This one may feel familiar because it's not too different to return on assets, which we covered in profitability ratios.

134

That was net profit divided by total assets.

135

In this one, however, the asset turnover ratio ignores expenses and focuses on revenue

136

and how efficiently a business generates revenue using the stuff it owns.

137

Then we have the payables turnover ratio, which is cost of goods sold from the income statement divided by accounts payable in the balance sheet.

138

The payables turnover ratio shows us how reliably a business pays off its suppliers.

139

It's our last turnover ratio.

140

Onward to the cash conversion cycle.

141

The cash conversion cycle tells us the average number of days a business needs to convert its investments in inventory into cash.

142

It works like this.

143

The cash conversion cycle is equal to days sales of inventory plus days sales outstanding plus days payable outstanding.

144

These three cash conversion ratios are the upside down of turnover ratios.

145

Days sales of inventory is the upside down version of the inventory turnover ratio.

146

This time we have inventory from the balance sheet on the top

147

and cost of goods sold from the income statement on the bottom.

148

But this time round we multiply the ratio by 365, the number of days in a year.

149

When we do this we get the average number of days it takes a business to convert its inventory into sales.

150

Also known as the inventory turnover period.

151

Days sales outstanding is the inverse of the receivables turnover ratio.

152

It's accounts receivable from the balance sheet divided by revenue from the income statement.

153

When we multiply it by 365 it tells us the receivables collection period.

154

The average time it takes a business to collect a payment from a sale in days.

155

And last but not least we have days payable outstanding which is basically the payables turnover ratio upside down.

156

Days payable outstanding is accounts payable from the balance sheet divided by cost of goods sold from the income statement times 365.

157

It's the average payables payment period.

158

The number of days it takes a business to pay its bills.

159

Days payable outstanding is our 16th financial ratio and closes the loop on the cash conversion cycle.

160

How long it takes a business to turn over inventory, collect cash on sales and pay bills.

161

Leverage ratios.

162

Leverage is when you up your risk by taking on debt in order to maximize your return or reward.

163

Leverage ratios can be split out into two categories balance sheet ratios and income statement ratios.

164

Leverage ratios in the balance sheet divide total liabilities by total assets or total equity.

165

If we take total liabilities

166

and divide them by total assets then voila we have the

167

debt to assets ratio the dta ratio this tells us how

168

much of a business's assets have been financed using debt this ratio considers both short

169

and long-term debt obligations if we jump back to total liabilities in the balance sheet

170

and divide them this time by total equity then we've got the debt to equity ratio DTE.

171

This tells us how much debt a business has for each dollar of equity.

172

A business can finance its assets by either borrowing money from third parties or using its owner's own money.

173

Raising debt can be helpful since it uses leverage to expand a business

174

but it comes with some risk in the form of interest

175

which leads us nicely into interest ratios which we can find in the income statement.

176

These determine a business's ability to meet its financial obligations.

177

We take a type of profit and divide it by a type of interest.

178

Both can be found in the income statement.

179

The interest coverage ratio compares a business's operating profit against its interest expenses.

180

Operating profit is calculated before interest

181

so this tells us whether a business has earned enough profit to cover the interest on its debt obligations.

182

But being able to cover interest isn't the whole story.

183

Total debt service is made up of interest and repayments of the principal, the current portion of long-term debt.

184

So it's also worth checking the debt service coverage ratio which is equal to EBITDA divided by total debt service.

185

EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

186

This ratio uses EBITDA instead of operating profit because it excludes depreciation and amortization which are both non-cash expenses.

187

It tells us whether a business generates enough profit to service both the interest and principal repayments on its debt.

188

And that's a wrap on leverage ratios.

189

But don't go anywhere just yet.

190

We have one last group to cover.

191

Price ratios.

192

Price ratios are very important.

193

Investors use them in financial analysis to evaluate the share price of a business and determine if it's a worthwhile investment.

194

price ratios tend to fall into two groups we have earnings based ratios

195

and dividend based ratios we'll start with earnings based ratios you've probably heard of this one earnings per share

196

or EPS it's a business's net profit divided by the number

197

of common shares outstanding earnings share represents the slice of a business's profit that's allocated to each share of common stock.

198

The number of common shares outstanding can be found in the equity section of a business's balance sheet,

199

either in the note for common stock or in the line item description.

200

And as we've seen, net profit can be found on the bottom line of the income statement.

201

Sometimes the EPS calculation is net profit minus preferred dividends divided by common shares outstanding.

202

This is because dividends are distributed to preferred shareholders before common shareholders.

203

Earnings per share is a useful way to measure profitability, but it doesn't give us the whole picture.

204

If we take a business's share price and divide it by its earnings per share,

205

then we find its price to earnings ratio also known as the P-E ratio.

206

A business's share price can be found quickly online.

207

It's the lowest amount you can buy one unit of company stock for.

208

In a publicly traded company that's listed on a stock exchange share prices fluctuate constantly and are determined by the market.

209

The P-E ratio is share price divided by earnings per share

210

so it tells us how much the market is prepared to pay for each dollar of earnings.

211

Share prices can be overvalued which can lead to a large price to earnings ratio.

212

However, a high P-E ratio could indicate strong future growth.

213

Which brings me on to the next financial ratio.

214

The price to earnings to growth or PEG ratio.

215

This is equal to the price to earnings ratio which we just covered divided by the expected earnings per share growth.

216

EPS growth is an estimate and represents the projected annual growth rate in earnings per share.

217

So the PEG ratio delves a little deeper into determining an investment's value than the P-E ratio.

218

In theory, it tells us if a company's stock is overvalued, undervalued or priced correctly given the expected future growth rate.

219

I say in theory because the validity of the PEG ratio is completely dependent on the EPS growth rate,

220

which like I mentioned is an estimate.

221

Moving on, moving on, what about dividend-based ratios?

222

Dividends per share is calculated in a very similar way to earnings per share

223

but this time we swap out net profit on the top for dividends paid

224

so dps is equal to dividends paid divided by the number

225

of common shares outstanding dividends are cash distributions paid out to

226

the shareholders of a business over a period of time this makes dividends per share an important ratio

227

because dividends are effectively income from an investor's point of view.

228

If a business pays out a special dividend, which is a non-recurring extra dividend related to a particular event,

229

then we should deduct it when working out dividends per share.

230

Another handy formula for investors is the dividend yield ratio.

231

In this one we take dividends per share and divide it by the share price of the company.

232

This represents the percentage of a business's share price that it tends to pay out in dividends each year.

233

And that's our 25th financial ratio.

234

However, since you've made it this far, I do have one extra bonus one for you.

235

It's called the dividend payout ratio,

236

and we calculate it by taking dividends paid and dividing it by the net profit earned over the same period of time.

237

This represents the percentage of a business's net profit that's distributed back to the shareholders as a dividend.

238

Another useful ratio for investors.

239

And at number 26 this is our last price ratio which completes our mind map of financial ratios.

240

We covered profitability ratios which measure how efficiently a business generates profit.

241

Liquidity ratios which tell us if a business can cover its short-term debt obligations.

242

Efficiency ratios which show us how quick they are at selling inventory, collecting cash and paying off creditors.

243

And then there was leverage ratios

244

which measure how much debt a business has taken on and its ability to service that debt.

245

And finally price ratios are used by investors to evaluate the share price of a business to see

246

if it's a worthwhile investment.

247

OMG that was a lot to take in.

248

I've summarized all this information in my financial ratios cheat sheets.

249

If you think they could come in handy then you can find them on my website

250

and I will see you in the next video.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
