PREFACE
This report has been prepared as a part of our Experiential Learning project, as a part of MBA.
The report is prepared with the view to include all the details regarding the project that we carried out.
The initial portion is the description and study of Financial Statements and Steel Industry, its
History and its Current Scenario. How the Steel sector has taken a full circle from earlier being private,
later it being handed over to the Govt. and now once again with liberalization this sector is open to
private players. After taking the macroscopic view, we have given microscopic view of the sector by
studying the one of major companies JSW STEEL PVT Ltd. All the details of the company where we
have studied are mentioned in the initial part of the report. Next portion is regarding the core project
financial statement analysis through ratio analysis.
In this project we had taken Research and Ratio for describing the Company’s SWOT Analysis.
Thus as you go ahead the report will reveal the details of the work that we have done in our grand
project.

2. Research Methodology:
Financial Ratios
There are few numbers in financial statements that are significant and provide significant insights which
helps to draw meaningful inferences from their relationships to other amounts or their change from one
period to another. These tools help in establishing significant relationships and changes. The most
commonly used financial ratios are: -
1
1
It helps in the financial forecasting and planning activities.
It helps in making strategic decisions.
It helps in assessing firm’s progress and performance and inter-firm comparison
with industry average.
Liquidity Ratios: liquidity ratios measure a company's ability to pay off its short-term debts as
they come due using the company's current or quick assets. Liquidity ratios include current
ratio, quick ratio, and Fixed assets turnover ratio.
In simple terms it assesses whether a business has sufficient cash or equivalent current assets to
be able to pay its debts as they fall due. For evaluating Ashok Leyland liquidity, we examine
the following three ratios: -
Current Ratio
Quick Ratio
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Current Ratio:-
Current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It is a widely used
indicator of a company’s ability to pay its obligations in the short-term, and shows the
amount of current assets a company has per rupee of current liabilities. Current assets
and current liabilities are those that are receivable or payable in the normal operating
cycle or within 12 months after the reporting period. Current ratio is calculated as
Current assets / Current liabilities.

Ma r' 18 Ma r' 19 Ma r' 2 0
Fiscal Year
Interpretation:
In our above case while the Jsw Steel, current ratio was better in march’18 than in Mar’20.
Generally speaking, a ratio between 1.5 and 3 is preferable and indicates strong financial
performance. A Current Ratio of less than 1 indicates that your organization would be unable to
meet all of your financial obligations if they came due at the same time. While this certainly is
not good, it's not uncommon for organizations to operate in the red for short periods of time,
especially if the business is funding growth by accumulating debt. On the other hand, a high
Current Ratio may mean that the business is sitting on a large amount of cash, instead of
investing it back into the business.
Current Ratio provides investors and financial analysts with an indication of the
efficiency of your company's operating cycle. In other words, is your business able to
generate a constant revenue stream and collect account receivables in a timely manner?
These important questions tell potential investors a lot about the financial health of your
organization.
1

Quick Ratio:-
All Current assets are not equally liquid. While cash is readily available to make
payments to suppliers and receivables can be converted into cash with some effort,
inventories are two steps away from cash (sale and collection). Thus, a large current
ratio by itself is not a satisfactory measure of liquidity when inventories constitute a
major part of the current assets. Therefore, the quick ratio or acid test ratio, is computed
to supplement to the current ratio. This ratio relates relatively more liquid current assets,
usually current assets less inventories, to current liabilities.

Interpretation:
The quick ratio is an indicator of a company’s short-term liquidity position and
measures a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most
liquid assets. Since it indicates the company’s ability to instantly use its near-cash
assets (assets that can be converted quickly to cash) to pay down its current
liabilities, it is also called the acid test ratio. An acid test is a quick test designed
to produce instant results—hence, the name.
The higher the ratio result, the better a company's liquidity and financial health; the lower
the ratio, the more likely the company will struggle with paying debts.
In This case the Quick ratio of company has improved from 2018 to 2020
Inventory Turnover:-
Inventory turnover also termed as Management efficiency ratio is the number of
times a company’s inventories are turned into sales. Investment in inventory
represents idle cash. The lesser the inventory level, the greater the cash available
for meeting day-to-day operating needs and investment in productive assets.

Interpretation:
The inventory turnover ratio was high in 2019 for JSW Steel indicating better
inventory management. The reduction in 2020 implies that the sales revenue is not
gearing up based on the Inventory. The inventory turnover implies an average
inventory holding period.
Solvency Ratios: Also called financial leverage ratios, solvency ratios compare a
company's debt levels with its assets, equity, and earnings to evaluate whether a
company can stay afloat in the long-term by paying its long-term debt and interest on
the debt. Examples of solvency ratios include debt-equity ratio, debt-assets ratio, and
interest coverage ratio.
Debt-to Equity Ratio:- Mix of debt and equity can increase the return on equity for two
key reasons:-

Debt-to equity ratio is fluctuating and was highest in 2020.
Profitability Ratios: these ratios show how well a company can generate profits from
its operations. Profit margin, return on assets, return on equity, return on capital
employed, and gross margin ratio are examples of profitability ratios.
Profitability ratios measure the degree of operating success of a company. We have used
three most commonly used ratios to evaluate profitability:-
Profit Margin
Asset Turnover
Return on Assets
Profit Margin: - This ratio, also known as return on sales (ROS), measures the amount
of net profit earned from each rupee of revenue.
NP Margin

Fiscal year
Interpretation: Profit margin reduced in 2019-20 to 8.23% from 10.52 % in 2018-19 and
was higher than 7.11in 2017-18. Profit margin provides some indication of the cushion
available to the company in the event of an increase in costs or a drop in selling prices,
because of recession or greater competition.
This is a measure of a firm’s efficiency in utilizing its assets. It indicates how many
times the assets were turned over in a period in order to generate sales. If the assets
turnover is high, we can infer that the enterprise is managing its assets efficiently. A low
assets turnover implies the presence of more assets that the business needs for its
operations.

In 2019-20, JSW Steel Fixed Assets Turnover reduced to 1.01 % from 1.5% in 2018-19.
Interpretation:
Increase in asset turnover could be because of capacity reduction, regular
equipment maintenance, timely availability of raw materials and power, effective
management of inventories, receivables and cash, better industrial relations and so
on. The reduction is due to increase in assets in 2018 predicting more sales revenue
in the next 3 years.
Return on Asset: -
Return on assets also known as return on investment, is a measure of profitability
from a given level of investment. It is an excellent indicator of a company’s overall
performance. Return on asset is calculated as Profit / Assets
The efficiency ratio is typically used to analyze how well a company uses its assets
and liabilities internally. An efficiency ratio can calculate the turnover of
receivables, the repayment of liabilities, the quantity and usage of equity, and the
general use of inventory and machinery. An efficiency ratio measures a company's
ability to use its assets to generate income. For example, an efficiency ratio often
looks at various aspects of the company, such as the time it takes to collect cash
from customers or the amount of time it takes to convert inventory to cash. This
makes efficiency ratios important, because an improvement in the efficiency ratios
usually translates to improved profitability.
Inventory turnover
Debtors turnover ratio or Receivable turnover ratio
Investment turnover ratio
Fixed asset turnover ratio
Asset turnover ratio
Each of the above different efficiency ratios focuses on a different aspect of the
business. Ultimately, when the efficiency ratios all indicate the business is being
run efficiently.
Inventory turnover is a gauge of how fast a retailer sells through its inventory and
needs to replace it. This metric is vital for understanding which products attract
consumers and drive sales for the retailer. The longer items stay in a retailer's
possession the bigger the hit on potential revenue and profits they can expect. The
faster you "turn" your inventory, the more inventory you will need and hopefully
sell.
The formula for assessing inventory turnover is a simple one: Sales ÷ Inventory.
The accounts receivable turnover ratio, also known as the debtor’s turnover ratio, is
an efficiency ratio that measures how efficiently a company is using its assets. The
accounts receivable turnover ratio measures the number of times over a given period
that a company collects its average accounts receivable.
The formula for assessing accounts receivable turnover ratio is Net Credit Sales /
Average Accounts Receivable.
The investment turnover ratio helps us measure the ability of a company to generate
revenues using the debt and capital that have been invested in the business. In general,
the higher the investment turnover ratio, the more efficient the company is in generating
revenues from its debt and equity capital.
The formula for assessing investment turnover ratio = Sales Revenue / (Shareholders’
Equity + Debt Outstanding)
Fixed Asset Turnover (FAT) is an efficiency ratio that indicates how well or efficiently
the business uses fixed assets to generate sales. This ratio divides net sales by net fixed
assets, over an annual period. The net fixed assets include the amount of property, plant,
and equipment, less the accumulated depreciation. Generally, a higher fixed asset ratio
implies more effective utilization of investments in fixed assets to generate revenue.
This ratio is often analyzed alongside leverage and profitability ratios.
The formula for Fixed Asset turnover is = Net Sales / Average Fixed Assets
The asset turnover ratio, also known as the total asset turnover ratio, measures the efficiency
with which a company uses its assets to generate sales. The asset turnover ratio formula is equal
to net sales divided by the total or average assets of a company. A company with a high asset
turnover ratio operates more efficiently compared to competitors with lower ratios.

3. Financial performance
There are few facts in financial statements that are significant and provide significant
insights which helps to draw meaningful inferences from their relationships to other
amounts or their change from one period to another. These tools help in establishing
significant relationships and changes. The most commonly used analytical techniques
are:-
1. Horizontal Analysis
2. Vertical Analysis
3. Trend Analysis and
4. Ratio Analysis
Horizontal Analysis
Horizontal analysis looks at amounts on the financial statements over the past years and
present comparative information for at least two years. Horizontal analysis calculates the
amount and percentage changes from the previous year to the current year. While the
amount is useful, converting it to percentage is more useful in appreciating the order of
magnitude.

INCOME
Interpretation: -
The above information is revealing. In 2019-20, the sales were down by 16.81% % and profit
after tax also down by 34.85%. Other income and exceptional items consist mostly of non-
operating items and are highly volatile and while Other income shot up by 55.06%, exceptional
items was -1309 crore in 2019-20 which was not occurring in 2018-19 as per the P&L statement
attached in the annexures. Because of the same, the profit after tax was down Rs. 4292 crore.
Without Exceptional items, the Gross Profit was 5601 crore.
Vertical Analysis:
Vertical analysis reports each amount on a financial statement as a percentage of another item.
For example, the vertical analysis of the balance sheet means every amount on the balance sheet
is restated to be a percentage of total assets. The results of vertical analysis are presented in the
form of common size statements in which the items within each statement are expressed in
percentages of some common number and always add up to 100.

Interpretation:
Current Ratio:- Current ratio shows the proportion of current assets of a business in relation to its
current liabilities. Current ratio expresses the extent to which the current liabilities of a business
(i.e. liabilities due to be settled within 12 months) are covered by its current assets (i.e. assets
expected to be realized within 12 months). A current ratio of 2 would mean that current assets
are sufficient to cover for twice the amount of a company's short-term liabilities.

current ratio is also sacrosanct to the investment required in the industry.
Quick Ratio - also known as Acid Test Ratio, shows the ratio of cash and other liquid resources
of an organization in comparison to its current liabilities. Quick ratio shows the extent of cash
and other current assets that are readily convertible into cash in comparison to the short-term
obligations of an organization. A quick ratio of 0.5 would suggest that a company is able to settle
half of its current liabilities instantaneously.
