 Abstract

Financial statements provide crucial information about a company's operations and financial performance,
which is analyzed through financial statement analysis. This analysis aims to understand the connections
between various financial elements, identify strengths and weaknesses, and forecast future prospects.
Financial statements consist of two important statements - the income statement and the balance sheet, along
with other useful statements for internal purposes. Trend percentages are a tool for horizontal analysis used
to understand changes in financial condition and operational effectiveness over a selected time period. The
study of financial statements also involves calculating ratios to assess financial performance. For the purpose
of the study, the researcher collected data from secondary sources from the company's annual reports as well
as financial statement analysis journals and books. The collected data is analyzed by using trend percentages
and ratio analysis.

Key Words:

Financial Statements, Financial Statement Analysis, Trend Percentages, Ratio Analysis,

Horizontal analysis, operational effectiveness.

RELIANCE PETROLEUM
etroleums has mostly been recovered by oil drilling. Drilling is carried out after studies of structural geology,
sedimentary basin analysis, and reservoir characterisation. Recent developments in technologies have also
led to exploitation of other unconventional reserves such as oil sands and oil shale. Once extracted, oil is
refined and separated, most easily by distillation, into numerous products for direct use or use in
manufacturing, such as gasoline (petrol), diesel and kerosene to asphalt and chemical reagents used to make
plastics, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Petroleum is used in manufacturing a wide variety of materials, [2]
and it is estimated that the world consumes about 100 million barrels (16 million cubic metres) each day.
Petroleum production can be extremely profitable and was important for economic development in the 20th
century with some countries, so called oil states.

Interpretation: The term current ratio implies short-term payment ability. The above table depicts that the
company has been maintaining more or less ideal current ratio i.e. 2:1. However, in financial year 2023-24
the current ratio decreases due to its increasing amount of current liabilities. A decreasing trend of current
ratio is a sign of unfavorable liquidity position for the company.

Interpretation: RIL's Quick Ratio consistently stands at 0.01 over the three years analyzed, indicating
severe liquidity issues. While liquid assets increased from ₹15,517 Cr in 2021-2022 to ₹23,800 Cr in 2022-
2023, they dropped to ₹17,491 Cr in 2023-2024. However, current liabilities rose significantly from
₹1,241,393 Cr to ₹1,677,596 Cr during the same period. This trend suggests that RIL may struggle to cover
short-term obligations, raising concerns about its financial health and ability to quickly convert assets into
cash when needed. Effective liquidity management is essential moving forward.

Interpretation: Reliance Industries Limited's debt-to-equity ratio shows a notable trend. It improved from
0.88 in 2021-22 to 0.75 in 2022-23, indicating reduced financial leverage and better debt management.
However, in 2023-24, the ratio increased significantly to 1.15, meaning RIL now has more debt than equity.
This sharp rise suggests increased financial risk as the company is now more reliant on borrowed funds. The
jump in long-term debt from ₹19,099 Cr to ₹30,639 Cr primarily drove this increase.

Interpretation: RIL's Net Profit Ratio reflects the company's profitability efficiency over the analyzed
years. In 2021-2022, the ratio was 15.54%, indicating solid profitability with a net profit of ₹4,495 Cr on net
sales of ₹28,915 Cr. However, in 2022-2023, the ratio decreased to 10.82% despite an increase in net profit
to ₹5,763 Cr on higher sales of ₹53,254 Cr, suggesting rising costs or lower margins. In 2023-2024, the
ratio surged to 44.92%, with a net profit of ₹5,831 Cr on significantly lower sales of ₹12,978 Cr. This
dramatic increase may indicate improved cost management or changes in revenue streams, enhancing
profitability despite reduced sales.

Interpretation: RIL's Return on Equity (ROE) indicates the company's efficiency in generating profit from
shareholders' equity. In 2021-2022, the ROE was 4.31, with a net income of ₹4,495 Cr against ₹1,041 Cr in
equity. This improved to 8.29 in 2022-2023, driven by a net income of ₹5,763 Cr, despite lower equity of
₹695 Cr. However, in 2023-2024, ROE declined to 4.44, with net income slightly increasing to ₹5,831 Cr
and equity rising to ₹1,313 Cr, suggesting fluctuating profitability efficiency.

Interpretation: The solvency ratio of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has shown fluctuation over the
three-year period. In 2021-22, the ratio was 0.16, which improved to 0.19 in 2022-23, but then declined
significantly to 0.11 in 2023-24. A lower solvency ratio indicates higher financial risk, as it shows the
company has more liabilities compared to assets. The declining trend in 2023-24 suggests RIL's ability to
meet its long-term financial obligations has weakened. This could be concerning for stakeholders as
generally, a solvency ratio below 1.5 is considered risky in financial analysis.
 FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
 Findings:
1. Profitability Analysis:

 The profitability ratios (e.g., Return on Equity, Net profit ratio) indicate that Reliance Insurance
Company has shown consistent growth over the past few years. However, the company’s profitability
has been slightly lower compared to the industry average, reflecting a need for improved operational
efficiency.
 Reliance Insurance has maintained a healthy underwriting profit margin, but its expense ratio
remains higher than some of its competitors, indicating room for cost control.

2. Liquidity Position:

 The liquidity ratios (e.g., Current Ratio, Quick Ratio) reveal that Reliance Insurance maintains a
solid liquidity position, ensuring it has enough resources to cover its short-term liabilities. However,
compared to industry leaders, its liquidity levels may need slight improvement to ensure better risk
management during adverse periods.

3. Solvency and Leverage:

 Reliance Insurance’s solvency ratios (e.g., Debt-to-Equity, Solvency Ratio) show a strong capital
structure with low reliance on external debt. The company has consistently been able to meet its
long-term obligations, ensuring financial stability.
 While the company's debt levels are manageable, leveraging more efficiently may help in optimizing
capital returns.

4. Claims Settlement Efficiency:

 Claims settlement ratio has been found to be satisfactory, with the company processing and paying
out claims on time. However, compared to industry benchmarks, there is room for faster claim
processing, which could improve customer satisfaction and retention.

5. Investment Portfolio:

 Reliance Insurance has a diversified investment portfolio that contributes positively to its overall
revenue. However, the analysis showed that its returns from investments could be further optimized
by diversifying into more profitable assets, similar to strategies employed by competitors.

6. Growth in Premium Income:

 The company has shown steady growth in premium income over the analysis period. However, the
growth rate has been somewhat lower compared to its peers, suggesting a need for enhanced
marketing and customer acquisition strategies.
  Suggestions:
1. Improve Operational Efficiency: Implement cost-reduction measures to bring down the expense ratio.
This could involve automating processes, renegotiating supplier contracts, or outsourcing certain non-
core activities.
2. Enhance Customer Service and Claim Settlement: Focus on improving the claims processing speed by
introducing digital tools and simplifying the claims procedure to improve customer satisfaction and
retention. Consider incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict and process
claims more efficiently.
3. Optimize Investment Strategies: The company should re-evaluate its investment portfolio to ensure
higher returns. Diversifying into higher-return assets such as equities or real estate (while maintaining
risk management strategies) could improve overall investment income.
4. Strengthen Premium Growth: Develop new marketing strategies to attract a larger customer base,
including targeting underinsured sectors or introducing more customer-friendly products. Digital
marketing channels and partnerships with third-party financial advisors could help boost premium
income.
5. Review and Optimize Pricing Strategy: Perform a detailed competitive analysis to assess the current
pricing strategy. Align premium pricing with market trends and customer expectations to stay
competitive without compromising profitability.
6. Leverage Technology: Invest in technological advancements, such as digital platforms for customer
interaction and claims management, to streamline operations and reduce overhead costs.

 Conclusion:
The financial performance analysis of Reliance Insurance Company reveals a stable and growing
business with a strong capital structure, a diversified investment portfolio, and steady profitability. However,
in comparison with industry benchmarks, there are areas where the company can improve, particularly in
operational efficiency, premium growth, and claims settlement processes.

With strategic interventions in optimizing expenses, investment management, and customer service, the
company can further enhance its competitive position in the insurance industry. Reliance Insurance should
continue to leverage its strengths, such as its solid liquidity position and solvency, while addressing the gaps
identified in profitability and growth compared to industry peers. The company’s ability to adapt to these
suggestions will be critical to sustaining long-term financial health and market leadership.
