Return on equity of company is 14.60 % that is above the industry average. ROE
represents the efficiency of company in managing its operations very efficiently and effectively.
The investors are concerned with the return over their investments in equity of firm (Boyas and
Teeter, 2017). The return is required to be adequate for attracting other investors for making
investments in the company. This represents how efficiently the resources of organisation are
being utilised for generating returns.
Gross profit margin of company is 24.35%. that represents the company is effectively
managing its operational costs. Gross profit represents the income left with the company after
carrying out cost of goods. This should be high so that company is available with enough funds
for carrying out its other business costs.
Operating margin represents the income left with the company after carrying out the
business cost incurred during the year. Operating margin of company is 10.22% that shows
company is having adequate returns left after carrying out the business.
Assets turnover represents the sales generated over the assets of company. Higher is the
turnover more efficiently the assets are being utilised for generating revenues for company
(Haskins, 2017). Company is having a asset turnover of 328.11% that is high and good.
Inventory turnover refers to the movement of inventories in the business. The inventory
turnover of a company should be high and in the present case it is 309.84 % that represents that
inventory is moving fast.
Average collection period is 59 days that is around 2 months, as the companies are
required to give credits for increasing their sales. This helps in having adequate operating cash
cycle reducing the working capital requirement.
Current ratio of company is 1.90 that is not very low and near to the standard. The ratio
represents that company is having strong liquidity position for meeting its short term obligations.
Quick ratio of company is 0.82 that is considerably low.
The debt equity ratio of company is 64.01% that shows company uses high debt for
financing its business operations. Though the performance of company is adequate and good,
company is having high financial risks (Rodrigues and Rodrigues, 2018). It should adopt for new
sources of finance like equity as this will decrease the financial risk in business.
