RATIO ANALYSIS
1. LIQUIDITY RATIO
Liquidity Ratios measure a firm’s ability to payoff its short term liabilities with its short term
assets.
CURRENT RATIO:
= (CURRENT ASSET/CURRENT LIABILITIES)
Standard= 2:1

GPH ISPAT: The current ratio of GPH Ispat also increased between 2015 to 2016 but it
gradually started to decrease from 2017 to 2018. It was 1.28 in 2015 from which it rose to
1.63 in 2016 and then it stated falling to 1.38 in 2017 and 1.003 in 2018. There was an
increase in 2016 because the current asset of the firm nearly doubled from 2015 to 2016.
And later on the current assets increased slowly over the years but the current liabilities
began to grow at a faster rate than the current assets due to which the ratio started to
decrease over the years.

We can say from the data that GPH ISPAT has a higher ratio than BSRM from 2015 to 2017
but BSRM has over taken GPH ISPAT in 2018. Both the company’s current liabilities as well
as assets increased over time and GPH ISPAT was doing better than BSRM but in 2018
current liabilities of GPH ISPAT nearly equaled to its current assets, thus the ratio has fallen
down and became nearly to 1.

BSRM: The quick ratio increased over time from 0.50 in 2015, 0.75 in 2016 but stated to
decrease to 0.70 in 2017 and to 0.58 in 2018. The ratio increased because the current assets
and the current liabilities increased over time. The ratio decreased because the current
liabilities increased at a higher rate more than the current assets and the inventories in 2018
had a great amount of value in the current assets due to which the ratio had decreased.

GPH ISPAT: The ratio of GPH ISPAT grew at the same pattern as BSRM. It grew from 0.60 in
2015 to a peak level of 1.02 in 2016 but started to gradually decease in 2017 to 0.96 and
5
0.67 in 2018. The reason of this drastic increase in 2016 is that the current assets almost
doubled in the year. But stared to decrease in the following years because the rate rate at
which the current liabilities was increasing was higher than the rate of increase of current
assets. Also the inventories held up a good amount of money.

2. ACTIVITY RATIOS
It measures the firm’s efficiency rate at which it utilizes various accounts in order to
generate sales for the business.
BSRM: BSRM collected its average accounts receivable 13 times during 2015. It was a very
good number. It indicated that the company is very efficient at collecting credit sales from
it’s customers. In 2016 the ratio dropped to less than half of what it was the previous year. It
shows a significant reduction in their efficiency. It increased in 2017. And then the ratio
dropped again in 2018. It means BSRM is not very consistent in collecting it’s receivables.

GPH ISPAT: GPH has a very low average accounts receivable turnover ratio. It went below 1
in both 2017 & 2018.
It means GPH is not efficient at collecting credit sales from it’s customers.

BSRM: The average collection period for BSRM is quite good. It was the lowest in 2015
which was less than a month and the highest in 2016 which was two months. It stayed
around one and a half months after 2017. Their debtors are paying up fast. It may be due to
receivables decreasing considerably.

GPH ISPAT: GPH’s average period is above two months for all of the four years that we see.
In 2015 & 2018 it was two months. Two months is an acceptable time. However it was a lot
more than that in 2016 & 2017. It may have been due to increased number of trade debtors
or due to sales falling

GPH 2.25 1.56 2.63 2.87
BSRM: BSRM’s inventory turnover decreased in 2016 either because the sales have
decreasing or the firm holding on to stocks. Then the ratio rose both in 2017 & in 2018. This
was due to not holding on to stocks and increased sales.

GPH ISPAT: GPH saw a huge dip in sales in 2016 causing a low inventory turnover. Low sales
made it unnecessary to restock on inventory. This changed in 2017. The sales increased
even from 2015. Thus we see higher inventory turnover. The trend continued in 2018. Both
sales and inventory turnover increased in 2018.

BSRM has consistently had higher sales than GPH. Which means BSRM’s ratio is better than
GPH's. Though, both BSRM and GPH have a pretty low inventory turnover ratio. It means
that they both need to increase their sales. Changes in the market and demand for the
product may be a reason for the decline in sales.

BSRM: BSRM saw an increase in the average age of inventory in 2016. It may have resulted
from either low sales or increased inventory. Then it fell drastically in 2017. It could be a
result of either low sales or increased sales. In 2018 BSRM again saw an increase in the
average age of inventory most likely due to the same reasons as in 2016.

GPH ISPAT: GPH's average age of inventory has drastically increased in 2016. It was most
likely due to a combination of both low sales and increased inventory. It did fall even more
11
drastically in 2017 indicating the firm got rid of it's access inventory and increased sales. The
trend continued in 2018 and the ratio dropped again.

GPH ISPAT: GPH's increased investment had no positive effect on sales. The ratio dropped in
both 2016 & 2018 which shows that the sales have not increased even with the
investments. It indicates to the firm’s poor performance.

& 2018. It indicates that the firm is making a lot of investments. In 2018 the ratio was below
1. Which means the increased investments didn’t result in proportionate increase in sales.

3. LEVERAGE/SOLVENCY/DEBT RATIOS
Solvency ratio is a ratio that measures a firm's risk. It helps to figure whether the firm has
enough availability of Assets to pay of its Liabilities. In other words, debt ratio, debt equity
ratio and times interest earned shows how many assets the company needs to sell in order
to pay off all its Debts to have a positive financial position.
14
DEBT RATIO:
= (Total Liabilities / Total Asset)
BSRM: We can see the debt ratio of BSRM in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 were 0.64(64%),
0.67(67%), 0.69(69%) and 0.72(72%) which shows that the ratios were increasing each year
from 2015 till 2018. This explains, the debt ratio of the BSRM is not efficient enough.
GPH: We can see the debt ratio of GPH in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 was 0.66(66%), 0.53(53%),
0.61(61%), 0.76(76). Comparing with 2015, ratio decreased in 2016 to 53% which was good
for the GHP Company. But later the debt ratio again started to increase in 2017 by 61% and
in 2018 by 72%.
15
the debt ratio the better it is for both the companies. Moreover, in 2017, both the
Companies ratios increased comparing to their previous year that is for BSRM (0.69) and for
GPH (0.61). Similarly, in 2018 the ratios for BSRM and GPH again increased more than 2017.
However, supporting BSRM will be more reliable than GPH as the ratios of BSRM increased
by few numbers than GPH.
BSRM The ratios of Debt-Equity Ratio of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 were 1.75, 2.07, 2.23,
and 2.57. This showed that the ratios were increasing each year from 2015 till 2018 which
was not a good indication for BSRM as the debts were increasing.
GPH: The Debt-Equity Ratios of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 were 1.94, 1.14, 1.56 and 3.10.
The ratios decreased from 2015 to 2016 from 1.94 to 1.14 and again increased in 2017 and
2018 that is 1.56 and 3.10. This is not a good indication also for GPH as the debts for GPH
increased also.
16
CROSS SECTION ANALYSIS
Having Debt-Equity Ratio less than 1 is better and preferable. We can see the debt-equity
ratio of both BSRM and GPH is 1.75 and 1.14 which is greater than 1 in 2015. But in 2016 the
ratio of BSRM (2.07) increased and the ratio of GPH (1.14) decreased showing that the debts
equity ratio of GPH was better than BSRM as the ratio of GPH was less. Moreover in 2017
the ratios for the Companies, BSRM (2.23) and GPH (1.56) increased comparing with the
previous year. Lastly in 2018 the debt-equity ratios increased too that is (2.57) for BSRM and
(3.10) for GPH. Though the ratio values of BSRM increased in each year than GPH Company’s
value decreased in 2016 still supporting BSRM will be suitable as the ratio values of GHP
increased significantly than BSRM

BSRM: The Times Interest Earned ratio for 2015 was 4.29 which increased significantly in
2016 which was 15.87. The ratio then decreased to 3.85 in 2017 and again decreased in
2018 to 3.14. BSRM had similar and mixed ratios and had the highest ratio in 2016 which
may have favored BSRM. As the higher the times interest ratio the better it is for the
company.
GPH: The Times Interest Earned ratio of GPH for four years were similar that is in 2015 it
was 2.19, in 2016 it was 2.01, in 2017 it was 2.25 and in 2018 it was 2.37. The ratio
decreased in 2016 and afterwards from 2017 till 2018 the ratios increased but it increased
insignificantly. Moreover, increase over time will help to improve GPH Company’s
profitability.
18
for BSRM was greater than GPH. Moreover, supporting BSRM will be suitable as we know
the higher the times earned ratio the better it is for the company and we can see that the
ratios of BSRM was higher for all the years and significantly higher specially in 2016 than
GPH.
4. PROFITABILITY RATIOS
An indication of good financial health & how effectively the firm is being managed. The
percentage of profit the firm earns in return to its assets, equity & sales
BSRM: BSRM’s gross profit margin increased in 2016 because sales increased. Later in 2017
and 2018 it started to fall. Because they were not having enough sales.

GPH ISPAT 1.56 1.55 3.05 3.44
BSRM: BSRM earns $6.14 per share in 2015 which indicates a strong profitability position of
the company. It also indicates that investors will be willing to pay more for the company
with higher profits. In 2016 the EPS dropped to $3.67 per share almost half of what it was in
2015. This is due to the lower profits in 2016 and this indicates a poor management of the
company. EPS increased by $1.32 per share in 2017 which is still lower than the value of
2015. The company’s cost of goods sold is increasing every year which makes profits and
EPS lower. In 2018 the EPS became $5.27 per share which is a good indicator of improving
performance of the company but EPS increased by a very insignificant amount from 2017 to
2018 which is $0.27 per share. The company’s management should focus on its EPS because
it is an important indicator of success of a company and it is affecting their market price per
share.

GPH ISPAT: GPH makes an earring of $1.56 per share in 2015 which is very less according to
their number of common stock outstanding. This is due to the lower profits of the company.

the investors to rethink for investing in this company causing a lower share price. In

2015.This reflects that the company is having the same management problem which

a better performance than the previous years. It also shows that the company is making
more money for each share of its stock. In 2018 EPS became $3.44 per share, which is
higher than the EPS of 2017. Gradually the company’s EPS is increasing year after year,
which means the company is doing well than the previous years. The higher the EPS the

TIME SERIES ANALYSIS
BSRM: In 2015 BSRM’s price earning(P/E) ratio was $15.69 this indicates that the investors
were paying $15.69 for each $1 of earrings. It also tells us that investors were willing to pay
a higher share price because of growth expectations in the future. The price earning(P/E)
ratio increased by $9.91 in 2016. A higher ratio than the previous year indicates a higher
degree of confidence that investors have in the firm’s future performance. However, in 2017
the price earning(P/E) ratio fell to $18.22. This could be due to the increasing debt of the
company. In 2018 the price earning(P/E) ratio again declined by $4.92 and this is due to
lower market price, which means investors are willing to pay less for the company’s share.
And it also indicates that investors are loosing confidence in the success of the firm.

bad indicator for the company. This indicates that investors are loosing confidence in
the company. The ratio became $4.07 in 2018, which means price earning(P/E) ratio has

RECOMMENDTION
1. LIQUIDITY: GPH ISPAT’s liquidity position was better than BSRM over the first 3 years
period but its current liability increased in 2018 due to which the ratio became worse
than BSRM. GPH should try and reduce its current liabilities so that it can gain it
position back in future years.
2. ACTIVITY: GPH needs to improve its activity ratios or else they will face obsolete.
They have high average collection period time which they need to reduce and collect
their money faster from its debtors and also they have low inventory turnover, low
fixed asset turn over and low total asset turnover. Therefore, they need to be more
efficient in using its assets and inventories.
3. SOLVENCY/DEBT RATIOS: BSRM needs to reduce its liabilities as it has more
liabilities compared to its assets than GPH ISPAT. If BSRM does not reduce its
liabilities, then it will face problems in repaying its debts but the ratio is less than 1
so it is not in high risk. Despite having high debt ratios, the company’ times interest
earned ratio is higher than GPH. GPH ISPAT has better ability to service debt as the
ratio is lower than BSRM and this means that the company has more assets than its
liabilities.
4. PROFITABILITY: Overall GPH has a better profitability ratio than BSRM and BSRM
should try and improve its profitability ratios and try and manage the firm more
efficiently to generate more sale. Also the company should try to reduce its cost of
goods sold & expenses so that its Gross Profit Margin & Net Profit Margin gets better
in the future.
5. Market Ratios: Market Ratios for BSRM is better than GPH ISPAT. We can say the
GPH ISPAT is not performing well as their Earning per share is lower than BSRM but it
is improving over time. This may mean that they are not generating enough income
compared to the no. of common stocks outstanding. They should try and increase
their net income to support these ratios.
CONCLUSION
Overall we can see that GPH ISPAT is performing better in most cases than BSRM as
supported by the ratios calculated, though we can see in some cases BSRM has been
performing better than GPH ISPAT but according to the overall report we can conclude that
investing in GPH ISPAT is less risky because it has enough assets to meet its liabilities. So in
our opinion, investing in GPH ISPAT is safer. But both the companies need to improve their
performance in the sectors they are lagging behind.
