Activity and Liquidity
Profitability
Returns
 Activity indicators (asset turnover, inventory turnover in days, collection period in days, and payment period in days)
Special attention is paid to collection period from particular customers given profitability of existing business relation,
seasonality of receivables, degree of their collectability and aging structure. Inventory is analyzed on product category
level focusing on relationship between category profitability and inventory turnover, while at suppliers level the
relationship between purchase levels from particular suppliers, purchasing terms (including payment period in days) is
analyzed.
 Liquidity indicators (current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio).
 Profitability indicators down to gross profit level (gross profit margin). Special attention is paid to identification of
relevant product and service categories and pertinent sales structure based on those categories. In addition, cost of
goods sold (COGS) is calculated for all categories in order to get full understanding of gross profit margin levels and
trends on product/service category level. Same analysis is applied to customer level (or group of customers), sales
channels, and geographical territories. Finally, an analysis of each category’s, customer’s, sales channel’s and
geography’s contribution to overall gross profit will be performed.
 Profitability down to EBITDA level (EBITDA margin). A detailed analysis of fixed operating expenses (OPEX) will be done
including grouping of expenses into adequate categories allowing for better understanding of types of costs being
incurred, their level and share of total costs, and finally their impact on EBITDA.
 Normalization of EBITDA and profit margins. Analysis of OPEX may result in a need for reclassification of part of those
costs into COGS in order to get better assessment of real gross profit and gross profit margins. Furthermore, all one-time
and non-recurring revenues and costs will be reassessed including their impact on calculated EBITDA, and finally the
influence of other operating revenue (other than sales) on EBITDA, such as revenue from asset disposals, rent, reversed
warranty provisions, etc. will be studied in order to determine normalized EBITDA related to and stemming only from
core operating activities.
 Profitability below EBITDA level (EBIT and net income). Depreciation policy, structure of financing costs and effective
income tax rate will be analyzed.
 Du Pont analysis. Return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC) and return on equity (ROE) will be
decomposed into relevant elements providing for better understanding of element’s contribution to an indicator (e.g.
ROE will be looked at as a product of asset turnover x net profit margin x equity multiplier, and as sum of ROIC + ((ROIC –
cost of debt) x D/E). Such approach allows for identification of areas offering possibility for improvement in ROA, and
especially and more important in ROIC and ROE.

Operating and
Financial Leverage
Net Working Capital
(NWC)
Long Term Assets
and CAPEX
 Indebtedness indicators will be systematically rated (capital structure as measured by debt to equity (D/E) ratio, level of
net debt, ratio of net debt to EBITDA, ratio of net debt to cash flow, and coverage indicators).
 Operating and financial leverage. Calculation of degree of operating leverage (DOL) and degree of financial leverage
(DFL) will be performed. DOL tests the influence of fixed operating costs on operating profit by measuring percentage
change in operating profit for 1% change in revenue, whereas DFL tests the influence of fixed financing costs on net
income by measuring percentage change in net income for 1% change in operating profit.
 Net working capital. Special attention will be paid to operating and cash cycles in days, the extent to which changes in
the amount of NWC influenced operating cash flow, and the level of investment in NWC needed to generate 1 unit of
EBITDA. In addition, it will be tested to which magnitude would changes in collection period, inventory turnover in days
and payment period of suppliers impact NWC and subsequently operating cash flow.
 Structure of long term assets and capital expenses (CAPEX). Structure and utilization rate of long term assets will be
analyzed together with historical CAPEX and assessment of a need for future CAPEX.
 Identification of non-operating assets. Intention is to determine which parts of assets are operating i.e. contributing to
operating cash flow, and whether non-operating assets can be put to a better use or sold.
Cash Flow
 Structure of cash flow (operating, investing, financing and free cash flow). The emphasis will be on identifying and
understanding the structure of operating cash flow in order to determine which part of it comes from basic operating
profitability (EBITDA – corporate income tax) in comparison with changes in NWC. Furthermore, as for the free cash
flow, focus is on comprehending its sufficiency to service principal and interest payments to creditors, and/or to provide
for potential dividends or share repurchases from shareholders.

  • 9. GRUBISIC & Partners CORPORATE FINANCE www.grubisic-partneri.net 9 Activity and Liquidity Profitability Returns  Activity indicators (asset turnover, inventory turnover in days, collection period in days, and payment period in days) Special attention is paid to collection period from particular customers given profitability of existing business relation, seasonality of receivables, degree of their collectability and aging structure. Inventory is analyzed on product category level focusing on relationship between category profitability and inventory turnover, while at suppliers level the relationship between purchase levels from particular suppliers, purchasing terms (including payment period in days) is analyzed.  Liquidity indicators (current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio).  Profitability indicators down to gross profit level (gross profit margin). Special attention is paid to identification of relevant product and service categories and pertinent sales structure based on those categories. In addition, cost of goods sold (COGS) is calculated for all categories in order to get full understanding of gross profit margin levels and trends on product/service category level. Same analysis is applied to customer level (or group of customers), sales channels, and geographical territories. Finally, an analysis of each category’s, customer’s, sales channel’s and geography’s contribution to overall gross profit will be performed.  Profitability down to EBITDA level (EBITDA margin). A detailed analysis of fixed operating expenses (OPEX) will be done including grouping of expenses into adequate categories allowing for better understanding of types of costs being incurred, their level and share of total costs, and finally their impact on EBITDA.  Normalization of EBITDA and profit margins. Analysis of OPEX may result in a need for reclassification of part of those costs into COGS in order to get better assessment of real gross profit and gross profit margins. Furthermore, all one-time and non-recurring revenues and costs will be reassessed including their impact on calculated EBITDA, and finally the influence of other operating revenue (other than sales) on EBITDA, such as revenue from asset disposals, rent, reversed warranty provisions, etc. will be studied in order to determine normalized EBITDA related to and stemming only from core operating activities.  Profitability below EBITDA level (EBIT and net income). Depreciation policy, structure of financing costs and effective income tax rate will be analyzed.  Du Pont analysis. Return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC) and return on equity (ROE) will be decomposed into relevant elements providing for better understanding of element’s contribution to an indicator (e.g. ROE will be looked at as a product of asset turnover x net profit margin x equity multiplier, and as sum of ROIC + ((ROIC – cost of debt) x D/E). Such approach allows for identification of areas offering possibility for improvement in ROA, and especially and more important in ROIC and ROE. Financial Analysis and Company Valuation Analysis on Corporate, Profit Center or Cost Center Level (1/2)
  • 10. GRUBISIC & Partners CORPORATE FINANCE www.grubisic-partneri.net 10 Operating and Financial Leverage Net Working Capital (NWC) Long Term Assets and CAPEX  Indebtedness indicators will be systematically rated (capital structure as measured by debt to equity (D/E) ratio, level of net debt, ratio of net debt to EBITDA, ratio of net debt to cash flow, and coverage indicators).  Operating and financial leverage. Calculation of degree of operating leverage (DOL) and degree of financial leverage (DFL) will be performed. DOL tests the influence of fixed operating costs on operating profit by measuring percentage change in operating profit for 1% change in revenue, whereas DFL tests the influence of fixed financing costs on net income by measuring percentage change in net income for 1% change in operating profit.  Net working capital. Special attention will be paid to operating and cash cycles in days, the extent to which changes in the amount of NWC influenced operating cash flow, and the level of investment in NWC needed to generate 1 unit of EBITDA. In addition, it will be tested to which magnitude would changes in collection period, inventory turnover in days and payment period of suppliers impact NWC and subsequently operating cash flow.  Structure of long term assets and capital expenses (CAPEX). Structure and utilization rate of long term assets will be analyzed together with historical CAPEX and assessment of a need for future CAPEX.  Identification of non-operating assets. Intention is to determine which parts of assets are operating i.e. contributing to operating cash flow, and whether non-operating assets can be put to a better use or sold. Cash Flow  Structure of cash flow (operating, investing, financing and free cash flow). The emphasis will be on identifying and understanding the structure of operating cash flow in order to determine which part of it comes from basic operating profitability (EBITDA – corporate income tax) in comparison with changes in NWC. Furthermore, as for the free cash flow, focus is on comprehending its sufficiency to service principal and interest payments to creditors, and/or to provide for potential dividends or share repurchases from shareholders. Financial Analysis and Company Valuation Analysis on Corporate, Profit Center or Cost Center Level (2/2)
