Horizontal and Vertical Analysis
• Three main ways to analyze financial statements
• Horizontal analysis
• Year-to-year comparison
• Vertical analysis
• Compare different companies
• Using industry averages
• Compare company’s performance against the industry averages

Horizontal Analysis
• This analysis is conducted by reviewing consecutive balance sheets, income statements, or statements of cash flows from period to period.
• The most important information revealed is trend.
• Two techniques are popular: year-to-year change analysis and index-number trend analysis.

Year-to-Year Change Analysis
19
1) When a negative amount appears in the base and a positive amount in the next period (or vice versa), we cannot compute a meaningful percentage change.
2) When there is no amount for the base period, no percentage change is computable.
3) When the base period amount is small, a percentage change can be computed but the number must be interpreted with caution. This is because it can signal a large change merely because of the small base amount used in computing the change.
4) When an item has a value in the base period and none in the next period, the decrease is 100%.

Index-Number Trend Analysis
• Form of horizontal analysis
• Indicates business direction
• How have things changed over the years?
• Select a period of three to five years
• Base year is the earliest year and a normal year;
• Base year is selected and set equal to 100%;
• Subsequent years expressed as a percentage of the base period.
27

Vertical Analysis • Is also referred to as common-size financial statement analysis.
• Shows relationship of each item to a base amount on financial statements;
• Income statement: each item expressed as percentage of net sales
• Balance sheet: each item expressed as percentage of total assets or total liabilities and equity.
• Remember total assets = total liabilities and equity
29
Vertical Analysis
• Useful in understanding the internal makeup of financial statements;
• In analyzing a balance sheet, it stresses two factors:
1) Source of financing
2) Composition of assets
• Especially useful for intercompany comparisons.

The analysis – short recap
• The goal of analyzing a financial statement is essentially to determine if the story it tells is good, bad or indifferent.
• In other words, to evaluate the financial health of a business.
• The analyst draws a few initial conditions, than puts the financial statement into context:
• by comparing it with income statements of earlier periods (past results )
• by comparing it with income statements of other companies. 46
The analysis - short recap
• Comparative Financial Analysis: it provides a comparison of a company ‘s financial performance over multiple periods (year-to-year analysis). It is possible to determine trends.
• Common-size Statement Financial Analysis: it helps to compare different companies and to provide a benchmark analysis.
47
Ratio Analysis • Ratio analysis is among the most popular and widely
used tools of financial analysis.
• Provide a quick and (relatively) simple means of evaluating the financial health of a business (company).
• Computation of a ratio is a simple arithmetic operation, its interpretation is more complex.
• A ratio must refer to an economically important relation, to be meaningful.
48
Ratio Analysis • Ratios relate one figure appearing in the financial
statement to some other figures appearing there (e.g., operating profit in relation to capital employed or in relation to assets) or to some other resources of the business (e.g., net profit for employee, sales revenue per square metre of selling space, etc.).
• Ratios are very helpful when comparing different businesses, even if involved in different scale of operations (e.g. expressing operating profit in relation to capital employed).
• They are one of the starting points of the analysis, not an end point! 49
Factors affecting ratios • Economic events
• Industry factors
• Managament policies
• Accounting methods
• Reliability of the numbers
• Skillful of analyst in application and interpretation
50
Any limitation in accounting measurements impact the effectiveness of ratios.
Ratio Interpretation • It is not necessary to compute all possible ratios to
analyze a situation.
• Ratios, like most techniques in financial analysis, are not relevant in isolation.
• They are usefully interpreted in comparison with:
• prior ratios
• predetermined standards
• ratios of competitors.
• The variability of a ratio across time is often as important as its trend.
51
Cash Flow Analysis • It is primarily used as a tool to evaluate the sources and
uses of funds.
• It provides insights into how a company is obtaining its financing and deploying its resources.
• It also is used in cash flow forecasting and as part of liquidity analysis.
