Financial Analysis: Getting a Company’s Financial and Operational Activities in Order
Financial analysis of a business is one of the key components of successful commercial operations and financial stability. It allows for an objective assessment of the company’s actual position, the identification of existing risks, the discovery of positive growth factors, and the forecasting of the company’s future development.
An analysis of a company’s financial condition consists of three main components:
- Analysis of the company’s financial position and capital structure.
- Assessment of capital efficiency and capital intensity.
- Analysis of the company’s financial stability.
RBC Group offers comprehensive tools for automating the calculation of key financial indicators, generating financial statement components, and providing a clear overview of a company’s financial and operational activities—or even a group of companies. You can request demo access directly on our website to experience firsthand all the benefits and capabilities of our solution.
Data sources and how to work with them
Financial analysis of a company draws on several data sources. The main ones are:
- A balance sheet contains information about the company’s assets and liabilities by reporting period.
- A statement of income and financial results, showing revenues, expenses, net income, and net losses.
- A statement of changes in equity, providing data on the company’s equity and changes in its value.
- Cash flow statements reflecting receipts and payments, as well as their equivalents, for the reporting periods.
- Other financial documents are analyzed as appropriate.
Our app allows you to use all of these and other data sources to perform financial ratio analysis and other analyses, such as budget-to-actual, trend, and comparative analyses. More details are provided below.
Financial Analysis: Key Methods
Vertical analysis
This method of analysis is based on setting current figures to 100% and then calculating the percentage of the total for selected items. This makes it possible to determine the relative weight of the various components.
As part of a vertical analysis, also known as a structural analysis, the following indicators are analyzed:
- assets—for subsequent optimization;
- capital—to determine its weighted average cost;
- cash flow—by business segment and for various purposes.
This method is quite common, but it is by no means the only one.
Horizontal analysis
It is also known as the “time-series” method. This implies that we compare data across different periods. In this way, we can clearly see the growth rates of the industries we are interested in, track trends, and observe how they are influenced by objective factors.
This method is often used by companies whose operations and profitability are heavily tied to seasonality. The most objective results can be obtained by combining the vertical and horizontal methods.
Comparative Analysis
A convenient method for comparing different sets of metrics—not only within the company, but also against competitors’ data.
This allows you to:
- compare with competitors to identify the most advantageous position;
- conduct objective industry-wide analysis;
- compare comparable data across different departments within the company;
- analyze current metrics and compare them with targets to track whether the company is falling behind or, conversely, exceeding its targets.
The comparative method can be used either independently of other methods or in combination with them.
Trend Analysis
In fact, this is a variation of the horizontal method, but it is typically classified as a separate category. The key feature of this method is the use of indicators from a specific period as a baseline. This baseline is then used as a reference point when comparing indicators with those from other periods.
Factor Analysis
In this case, multivariate analysis is used, which makes it possible to examine the impact of individual factors on the outcome. Factors taken into account include socioeconomic changes and transformations, price fluctuations, changes in legislation, and much more.
At the same time, almost any factor can be broken down into its individual components, thereby providing an even more objective assessment of its impact on the company’s financial performance.
Analysis of ratios
This is an important method for accurately calculating a company’s liquidity and solvency ratios. It also helps determine whether the company has sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations, as well as how quickly and easily its assets can be converted into cash if necessary.
Analysis of an Organization’s Financial Stability
A company’s financial stability is one of its key characteristics, especially in times of market uncertainty and instability.
By using a set of diverse ratios, it is possible to accurately assess the company’s financial condition and analyze its absolute indicators of financial stability.
A company’s financial stability is influenced by a wide range of factors that must be taken into account:
- the company’s current position in the commodity and financial markets;
- the production and sale of competitive and in-demand products;
- the level of dependence on creditors and investors;
- the size and structure of production costs, as well as their ratio to revenue;
- the amount of reserve capital;
- the efficiency of cash and commercial operations;
- the company’s asset potential, and much more.
There are various methods for analyzing a company’s financial stability—ranging from fairly basic to automated, intuitive, and easy-to-understand. We offer the latter option.
