2UNDERSTAND THE Income Statement DATA

The income statement (ODA) provides information on the effectiveness of the company. If you compare the ODA of several consecutive years, you can clearly follow the trends in the operating activities of the company / company in question. On this basis, you can plan strategies in terms of sales, stocks, fixed costs. ODA is one of the most valuable summaries of how much a company wins or loses during the year. This is done by deducting the cost and expenses from the income, and the net financial result is a profit or loss, it clearly shows how profitable the business is - namely
therefore, every investor or financial institution is interested in it.

Operating Revenues

Understanding Operating Revenues

Distinguishing operating revenue from total revenue is important as it provides valuable information about the productivity and profitability of a company's primary business operations. Despite recording operating revenue separately on financial statements, some firms may attempt to mask decreases in operating revenue by combining it with non-operating revenue. Understanding and identifying the sources of revenue is helpful in assessing the health of a firm and its operations.

Operating Expences

learn about the operating expenses

Operating expenses are necessary and unavoidable for most businesses. Some firms successfully reduce operating expenses to gain a competitive advantage and increase earnings. However, reducing operating expenses can also compromise the integrity and quality of operations. Finding the right balance can be difficult but can yield significant rewards.

3 What is on the Balance sheet

The balance sheet is a snapshot representing the state of a company's finances at a moment in time. By itself, it cannot give a sense of the trends that are playing out over a longer period.  For this reason, the balance sheet should be compared with those of previous periods. It should also be compared with those of other businesses in the same industry since different industries have unique approaches to financing.

The most valuable information to look for in the balance sheet is the decrease or increase of current or short-term receivables and inventories and their relationship to the level of operating revenue. Short-term receivables and inventories shouldn't be a vast majority of company's operating revenues, but the general rule is that should be within the limits determined by the Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio in the observed industry. Notice the value of current receivables and long-term receivables and their relationship in operating income and operating result.

4 Financial Ratios

Ratio Analysis is the core of financial analysis. Ratios provide input for evaluating and comparing a company to its competitors, or to an industry average. Ratios provide the vital signs used to measure one company’s health, allowing to look further into specific aspects of the company’s activities. For example, the company may be profitable, but certain ratios could indicate that it doesn't manage inventory well, or that it has cash flow issues.

Return & Profitability

Prudent investors know that a precise definition of return is situational and dependent on the financial data input to measure it. An omnibus term like profit could mean gross, operating or net, before tax or after tax revenues or income. An omnibus term like investment could mean selected, average or total assets, debt or equity.

Gross Margin

The gross profit margin shows us what% of sales remain to cover fixed costs and to generate net profit. It is also used to define the Break-Even Point, at which sales coincide exactly with fixed and variable costs and above which the business begins to generate profit.

Net Margin

Net profit margin is one of the most important indicators of a company's financial health. By tracking increases and decreases in its net profit margin, a company can assess whether current practices are working and forecast profits based on revenues. Because companies express net profit margin as a percentage rather than a lev amount, it is possible to compare the profitability of two or more businesses regardless of size.

Liquidity Ratios

Liquidity is the ability to convert assets into cash quickly and cheaply.  Liquidity ratios are most useful when they are used in comparative form. This analysis may be internal or external. For example, internal analysis regarding liquidity ratios involves using multiple accounting periods that are reported using the same accounting methods. Comparing previous time periods to current operations allows analysts to track changes in the business.  In general, a higher liquidity ratio shows a company is more liquid and has better coverage of outstanding debts.
Alternatively, external analysis involves comparing the liquidity ratios of one company to another or an entire industry. This information is useful to compare the company's strategic positioning in relation to its competitors when establishing benchmark goals. Liquidity ratio analysis may not be as effective when looking across industries as various businesses require different financing structures. Liquidity ratio analysis is less effective for comparing businesses of different sizes in different geographical locations.

Benchmark or compare company to competition

Use real time comparison feature. It is very important, because through it we have the opportunity to compare financial information of up to 10 companies in the same time. 
Comparison functionlity is a strong analytical tool, which is available only on Company Guru app. Compare companies in terms of competitiveness, market position, comparative analysis of customers, suppliers or partners.
Compare the company to its peers, industry benchmark, or good companies from your portfolio and go again through all these steps. This way you will find better insight into all the parameters observed. Whether they are larger, smaller or the same and draw conclusions about the performance of the particular company.

Analyze and compare with our dynamic Graph

check operating revenues retrospectively and follow the trend

For Profitability compare Gross Margin and EBITDA

Gross Margin as indicator makes sense only if being compared with industrial average or competition. This way you will understand if these values are within normal range or less than an average.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is calculated using company net earnings, before interests, taxes and depreciation and amortization. It is used as an approximation for current operational profitability as well as the cash flow. This measure allows you to compare the profitability of the different companies, neutralizing the effect of paying interest rates from different sources of financing, various administrative jurisdictions (ignoring taxes) and the way to acquire and maintain assets (ignoring depreciation and amortization). You can compare a business with another, even from other industries.

The negative EBITDA tells us that the company has problems with profitability and cash flow. On the other hand, a positive EBITDA does not mean that the company generates (enough) cash.

For Liquidity monitor Current Liquidity ratios

Compare the liquidity of one company to another checking the Current Liquidity Ratios. More liquid companies are better prepared for market disturbances, such as price war as well as more unlikely to get into trouble in the near future.
