Table 1 shows the amount and percentage change of current assets. The change on cash and
cash equivalents is significant to the increase of service revenue found in the income statement, in
the Fiscal Year 2018 cash and cash equivalents records an increase of 9.5% to 16.95% on the
following year respectively from year 2017. This shows that the company is doing well on revenue
growth. Although the business received most of the payments within the invoice period ,some
accounts become overdue while others are uncollectible these reflects on the percentage change on
the receivable from -2.01% to -8.23% in which the company are still fall short on receiving
payments on cash. Due from related parties has a huge increase in the overall currents assets.
Eventually, all remaining currents assets are increasing. In addition, total current has increased
1.52% in the year 2018 and 12.48% in 2019 this indicate that LBC Express manage the cash flow of
the business well. In essence, having substantially more increase in current assets than liabilities
indicates that the business should able to meets its short-term obligations.
Table 2 shows that the Property, Plant and Equipment of the company has increased in the
year 2019, tallying an increase of 47.13% in the year 2018 and 116.25% in 2019, primarily due to
addition of computer hardware and construction in progress related to branches and warehouse due to
an increase of its net book value.. Some of the intangible asset of the company is expected to decline
its value because some are being amortized. This means that the value decreases every year as an
expense for using the item. The amount of the value of the asset decreases also decreases the
business's income for that year. Deferred tax asset has increase in the year 2019 with a percentage
change of 30.41% from a 4.40% change in 2018. The totality of current assets has significantly
incline than the non-current assets of the company throughout the year. This can be an indicator that
Table 3 shows the percentage change in the liabilities section of the financial position. An
increase in accounts payable and other payables in the year 2018 75.05% and 102.24% in the year
2019 implicates that the company has a short term obligations and continues to increase from the
year 2017 as the trend shows in its change. The dominant factor that lead the total liabilities increase
from 2017 to 2019 is the lease liabilities from 37.65% change in 2018 to 1148.89% change in 2019.
This might indicate that the company has incurred more expenses that might be hard to compensate
though revenue has increased. Bond payable increased by 23.68% in the year 2018 and a spiked of
increase in 2019 of 39.15% traceable mainly from accretion of interest and impact of higher
exchange rate. The funds are more likely being used from the acquisition of available-for-sale
investment, property and equipment. To sum it up, the company’s liability is totally increasing
through years and it’s a trend that might continue in the following years if not controlled and manage
well.
Figure 3 shows an increase of service revenue from 23.72% increase in year 2018 to 52.65%
in the year 2019. This is a good implications that the company is managing well in increasing
revenue. Relatively, the Cost of Services also increased as expected because the revenue inclined
changes this is due to an increase of cost in delivery and remittance. Cost of Services rise up to
29.63% to 69.29% in the year 2019, this lead to an increase of the gross profit of the company.
Table 4 shows a significant increase of change on gross profit 12.13% in 2018 to 20.01% in
the year 2019 is quite enough to compensate the increase of income charges and the expenses
incurred by the company. However, this indicates the lower increase of the net income of the
business and a loss in comprehensive income lowers its totality. This because of too much increase in
the expenses and lease liability of the company in the year 2019 that affect the increase of net income
in the latest year. In addition, the net income drops higher than how it increases in the year
2018(90.56%). It might be bad for the company for the following year because there be still a huge
obligation to settle due to the huge increase in the liability specifically lease liability and expenses
that lead to the decrease of the net income of the year 2019. Lease liabilities inclined by 37.65% in
the year 2018 and 1458.89% in 2019 due to the unsettlements of services vehicles through finance
lease.
As stated above the net income eventually drops down in the year 2019 the earnings per share
is also decrease.
Conclusion
LBC Express Holdings Inc. is on a good trend of increasing its service revenue. However, net
income has a huge decline in the year 2019 (-32.79%) from an increase of ₱641,115,675, a
90.56% percentage increase from the year 2017.
LBC Express Holdings Inc. is in good performance and well-positioned for future growth.
But it is necessary for the company to watch over and control the increasing costs and
expenses incurred in each period, to avoid some economic risks. It is however advantageous
for the company for having more liquid assets for easily paying off current debts.
LBC Express Holdings Inc. Asset management ratios are doing good, and mostly showed
improvement in 2019. However, total asset turnover slightly declined in the last period, due
to heavy investments in asset. Overall, there appears to be no major problems with the firms'
assets management ratios, and we're efficient enough in using its assets to generate earnings.
Recommendations:
In order to maintain the profitability of the company, it is good for them to settle their huge
liabilities and expenses, which is a big help to increase their net income yearly.
Allocation of the funds should be allocated to help increase its profitability and liability and
expense incurred in the company operations should be controlled.
