Finance performance definition:-
A subjective measure of how well a firm can use assets from its primary mode of business and
generate revenues. This term is also used as a general measure of a firm's overall financial health
over a given period of time, and can be used to compare similar firms across the same industry or to
compare industries or sectors in aggregation.
By financial analysis we come to know about the financial position of the company. Following are
the few terms which we have to understand
RATIO ANALYSIS
Meaning of Ratio: - A ratio is simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to
another. It may be defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions.
According to Accountant‟s Handbook by Wixon, Kell and Bedford, “a ratio is an expression of the
quantitative relationship between two numbers”.
Ratio Analysis: - Ratio analysis is the process of determining and presenting the relationship of
items and group of items in the statements. According to Batty J. Management Accounting “Ratio
can assist management in its basic functions of forecasting, planning coordination, control and
communication”.
It is helpful to know about the liquidity, solvency, capital structure and profitability of an
organization. It is helpful tool to aid in applying judgement, otherwise complex situations.
Ratio analysis can represent following three methods.
Ratio may be expressed in the following three ways:
1. Pure Ratio or Simple Ratio: - It is expressed by the simple division of one number by
another. For example, if the current assets of a business are Rs. 200000 and its current
liabilities are Rs. 100000, the ratio of „Current assets to current liabilities‟ will be 2:1.
2. ‘Rate’ or ‘so Many Times: - In this type, it is calculated how many times a figure is, in
comparison to another figure. For example , if a firm‟s credit sales during the year are Rs.
200000 and its debtors at the end of the year are Rs. 40000 , its Debtors Turnover Ratio is
200000/40000 = 5 times. It shows that the credit sales are 5 times in comparison to debtors.
3. Percentage: - In this type, the relation between two figures is expressed in hundredth. For
example, if a firm‟s capital is Rs.1000000 and its profit is Rs.200000 the ratio of profit capital, in
term of percentage, is 200000/1000000*100 = 20%
ADVANTAGE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

4. Helpful in Forecasting.
5. Estimate about the trend of the business.
6. Fixation of ideal Standards.

2. Ratio analysis becomes less effective due to price level changes.
3. Ratio may be misleading in the absence of absolute data.
4. Limited use of a single data.
5. Lack of proper standards.
6. False accounting data gives false ratio.
7. Ratios alone are not adequate for proper conclusions.
8. Effect of personal ability and bias of the analyst.

Structurally a strong growth story: We initiate coverage on Sintex with a BUY rating (upside of
38%). We like Sintex primarily for: (1) A diversified business model marked bylow volatility in
sales, profit and cash flows; (2) Market leadership in the prime Monolithic and Prefab segments
which are expected to show CAGR of 25% and 27% during FY11-FY13E respectively; (3)
Acquired overseas and domestic subsidiaries likely to show operational improvement with
300bps increase in margin in FY13e v FY10; (4) Emerging cash flow positive in FY12-FY13e
through better management. At our TP of Rs220, the stock looks attractive
and discounts 12x & 10.6x FY12e & FY13e EPS of Rs18.5 & Rs20.7 respectively.

audited accounts for the year, which ended on March 31, 2011.

superior value to its stakeholders.
Gross turnover grew 29% from `2,103.56 crore in 2009-10 to `2,718.74 crore in 2010-11, due to a
significant increase in existing business volumes. While all business segments contributed to your

CARE Equity Research assigns 4/5 on fundamental grade to Sintex Industries Limited
CARE Equity Research assigns fundamental grade of 4/5 to Sintex Industries Limited (Sintex).
This indicates „Very Good Fundamentals‟. The grade draws strength from Sintex‟s leadership
position in plastic water tanks, prefabricated building systems and monolithic construction coupled
with experienced management. While strong order book of monolithic construction gives revenue
visibility for next 20-22 months, increased Government focus on social spending provide huge
10. 10
growth opportunities for Sintex. Furthermore, CARE Equity Research believes that risks associated
with acquired subsidiaries are behind us and Sintex is likely to start realizing synergy benefits
going forward.
Sintex‟s textile business had witnessed dip in FY10. Though CARE Equity Research is skeptical,
the management is positive about the future of this business. Additionally Sintex‟s increased focus
on monolithic business may elongate the working capital cycle of the company and any gap in
securing funding may affect the company‟s prospects adversely.

organization is being underutilized. It is a measure of financial strength of a concern. Lower the
ratio greater the security available to the creditors. Generally 1:2 ratio is acceptable, but the ratio
of at least 1:1 is desirable as banks even do accept this.
In the financial year 2008-09 the debt-equity ratio is more than the other years it means it
is not good sign for the company. In the 2010-11 the debt-equity ratio is very less means in that

Significance: -
Normally a proprietor should provide all the funds required to purchase fixed assets. If the
capital employed ratio exceeds 100%, it indicates that the company has used short-term funds for
acquiring fixed assets, which policy is not desirable. when the percentage is less that 100, a part of
the net working capital is supplied by the shareholders, provided that there are no other non-current
assets. The ratio should generally be 65%.
In the financial year 2010-11 the ratio is 38.28 that is very less improvement from the last
year because the fixed assets of company is having minor improvement in the 2010-11 so that
ratio is approximately same for the past years.

other firm in the same industry implied that the firm in question produces its products at lower cost.
It is a sign of good management.
In the financial year 2010-11 the gross profit ratio is higher than the other years thus, the selling price
of good’s may be less without any loss.
