TASK 1
Financial Analysis of Samsung and Apple.
Financial Analysis is defined as the process of assessing and evaluating the suitability,
profitability, viability, solvency and stability of the business performance, projects and finance-
related business entities. It is used in improving profit levels, cash flow of a business
organisation by analysing whether it is stable, solvent, liquid or profitable helpful in achieving
the business objectives with the available resources with the relevant financial information
(Williams, E.E. and Dobelman, J.A., 2017).
Profitability ratio analysis
Company's profitability depicts financial performance of the company. It represents how
profitable the fund of owner has been used in the company (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H.,
2015). Profitability ratio used by company to evaluate ability of company to generate income as
compared to cost and expenses associated during a particular period. The profitability ratio
includes -
1. GP ratio = Gross profit / net sales * 100
Years Apple Samsung
2014 38.59% 37.79%
2015 40.06% 38.46%
2016 39.08% 40.42%
2017 38.47% 46.03%
It is used to find out operational performance of the company. It shows the relationship
between gross profit and net sales. Gross profit is derived by dividing gross profit by net sales. If
net sales are given then to arrive at gross profit cost of goods sold are deducted from net profit
(Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015). Gross profit of companies should be sufficient to meet
out its expenses and higher the ratio higher the profit of the company and vice versa. Of Apple is
fixed throughout the years. In Samsung the gross profit was stable till 2016 but it increased at a

high speed in 2017 because Samsung launched products with new technologies and has
expanded its operations in the market which lead to high customer base and increase in gross
profit.
2. NP ratio = Net profit / net sales * 100
Years Apple Samsung
2014 21.61% 11.19%
2015 22.85% 9.32%
2016 21.19% 11.10%
2017 21.09% 17.26%
When net profit divided by net profit after tax it gives net profit ratio. It includes both
cash and non cash items to calculate the net profit of the company (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant,
P.H., 2015). The net profit of the apple in stable and more than Samsung as it has low operating
expenses. The cost of I phone is too high which gives it a competitive advantage over Samsung
whereas Samsung do not have economies of scale and is still is a close rival to Apple in context
to smart phones.
Liquidity ratio analysis
This ratio defines the ability of firm to pay its debt without raising capital from outside means.
This ratio depicts the ability to convert assets into cash quickly (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H.,
2015).
1. Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities
Years Apple Samsung
2014 1.08 2.21
2015 1.11 2.47

2016 1.35 2.59
2017 1.28 2.19
Current ratio shows the proportion of company's assets to its liabilities. Higher the
current ratio better the company's ability to convert its assets into liquid form.
Apple's current ratio has been stable but decreased in compared to last year as its ability to pay
debt decreased but yet its 1.28 which is a good current ratio. On the other hand Samsung has
maintained great current ratio which shows that its ability to pay debt is more than that of Apple
(Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015).
2. Quick ratio = Current assets - (stock + prepaid expenses)
Years Apple Samsung
2014 1.05 1.78
2015 1.08 2
2016 1.33 2.26
2017 1.23 1.73
It is company's short term liquidity position which helps to cover current liabilities.
Quick ratio is obtained by dividing quick assets to current liabilities. The quick ratio of Samsung
is better in comparison to Apple as Samsung has more quick assets and less current liabilities
which helps the company in achieving growth (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015).
Solvency ratio analysis
It describes the financial position of company that how much a company is financially sound to
make payments and pay off its long-term obligations in long run (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant,
P.H., 2015).
1. Long term debt to equity ratio = Long-term debt / shareholders’ equity
Years Apple Samsung

2014 0.26 0.01
2015 0.45 0.01
2016 0.59 0.01
2017 0.73 0.01
Long term debt to equity ratio describes the financial solvency position of a company. The
good ratio for a company is considered when it employs more debt & generate higher earnings
than amount needed for debt related payments & thus improves shareholders return (Sayed,
S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015). A high ratio represents the higher level of leverage in the
company which is considered riskier from lenders’ and investors’ perspective. On the other
hand, a lower ratio indicates that the company is financially supported by the capital of its
shareholders. In above case, the ratio of Apple Inc. is increasing every year which is not good
and will be unable to pay interest amount on debt as & when the cash flow declines. Whereas
Samsung is having a constant ratio from last four years which defines good financial and
solvency position of company (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015).
Efficiency ratio analysis
It defines that how effectively and efficiently the company is using its assets for generating
income and revenue (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015).
1. Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / average stock
Years Apple Samsung
2014 53.18 7.41
2015 62.82 6.84
2016 58.64 6.47
2017 40.37 5.97

In simple meaning, it defines that how many times the company has replaced or sold its
inventory during a given period of time i.e. how effectively the company is able to convert its
inventory into sales. The ideal ratio is between 4 to 6. A higher ratio implies strong sales, better
liquidity & also emphasises on inadequate inventory levels. On other hand, low ratio means poor
liquidity and overstocking of inventory. In above case, the ratio of Apple Inc. is very high which
means that company is having very high sales, but it can lead to stock-out situation as well which
can affect business profits. Whereas Samsung is having ideal ratio that depicts company is able
to convert its inventory into sales easily and having better liquidity (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant,
P.H., 2015).
2. Total assets turnover ratio = Sales revenue / average total assets
Years Apple Samsung
2014 0.79 0.89
2015 0.89 0.85
2016 0.70 0.8
2017 0.66 0.85
It defines that how effectively and efficiently the company is using its assets for
generating income or revenue and for increasing sales of the company. High ratio means the
company is more efficient whereas low asset turnover ratio indicates that company is not using
its assets efficiently to generate sales income. In above case, Apple Inc. is having increasing ratio
trend till 2015, after that company is having a decreasing assets turnover ratio which depicts that
company is not using its assets efficiently to generate sales income. In case of Samsung,
company is having a mix match of increasing and decreasing ratio (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant,
P.H., 2015).
3. Fixed assets turnover ratio = Sales revenue / average fixed assets

Years Apple Samsung
2014 1.12 1.79
2015 1.28 1.72
2016 1.04 1.70
2017 0.99 1.74
It is used to measure that how effectively the company is able to generate sales revenue
or sales income by using the fixed assets of the company. It helps in measuring the operating
performance of the business. In above case, Apple Inc. is having a ratio of 1.12 in 2014 which
increases to 1.28 in 2015 i.e. company is conducting operating activity in its best possible way.
After that company is having declining trend which is not good. Whereas, Samsung is having a
ratio of 1.79 in 2014 which decreases to 1.72 and 1.70 in 2015 & 2016 respectively. After 2016,
the company is having an increasing trend which implies that company is using its fixed assets
effectively (Sayed, S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015).
Investment ratios analysis
It helps in assessing the performance of a company's share or stock. It studies the relationship
between the money invested and return earned on it in form of profits (Sayed, S.S.M. and
Sawant, P.H., 2015).
1. Earnings per share = (Net income - preferred dividend) / Number of shares outstanding
Years Apple Samsung
2014 6.45 3.06
2015 9.22 2.52
2016 8.31 3.16
2017 9.21 5.9

Earning per share describes the net income earned per share. It is defined as that portion
of profit earned by company which is distributed to each equity holders after making payments
to debenture and preference holders. A high and growing EPS is considered good for company as
it is generating profits to both company as well as shareholder's. In above case, Apple Inc. is
having increasing EPS which indicates that company is earning profits. On the other hand,
Samsung is having a EPS of 3.06 in 2014 after which it declines to 2.52 that means company is
having low profits at that time. After 2015, Samsung is having increasing EPS trends (Sayed,
S.S.M. and Sawant, P.H., 2015).
