    • 3.8 Analysis of corporate profitability

    Profitability refers to the ability of a business to make a profit. There are many financial ratios that reflect the profitability of an enterprise, and the main ones commonly used are: return on assets, profit rate, and asset turnover.

    1. Return on assets

    The return on assets is the comparison of the profit of the enterprise with the size of the enterprise.

    ROA=

    Profit

    ×100%

    Total assets

    There are many ways to define profit, for example: profit can be divided into profit before tax or profit after tax. The calculation formula of the ratio should remain unchanged for many years. For example, if the pre-tax profit is used as the numerator, it will remain unchanged, otherwise it will lose its comparative value.

    Case: Yongzheng Company's return on assets in 2004 and 2007

    2004

    2005

    2006

    2007

    Assets

    1 million

    1.2 million

    1.4 million

    1.6 million

    Pre-tax profit

    200,000

    220,000

    240,000

    260,000

    Return on Assets

    20%

    18.9%

    17.1%

    16.2%

    It can be seen from the above table that although the unit's profit and assets are increasing, its return on assets has dropped from 20% to 16.2%, indicating that its profitability has declined, and it is a downward trend year by year .

    2. Profit rate

    Profit rate is the ratio of corporate profit to sales revenue, which is divided into two forms: gross profit rate and net profit rate.

    Gross Margin =

    Gross profit (i.e. sales revenue - cost of sales)

    ×100%

    Sales revenue

    Net profit margin=

    Net profit (i.e.: sales revenue - sales cost - management expenses, etc.)

    ×100%

    Sales revenue

    Analysts can compare profit margins for the same business in different years, and they can compare profit margins for different businesses. If a business has a gross profit margin of 25 percent and its competitor has a gross profit margin of 35 percent, the analyst looks for the reason for the difference. The cost of the business may be too high, and it may lose out to the competition as a result. Falling profit margins are also a concern. If a business's net profit margin is 15% in the first year and the net profit margin suddenly drops to 5% in the second year, this may be a red flag.

    3. Asset turnover

    The asset turnover ratio is the value of sales revenue and total assets, which is used to measure the ability of a company to use assets to earn income.

    Asset turnover =

    Sales revenue

    times

    Total assets

    Asset turnover is a measure of a business's ability to sell. The faster the turnover, the stronger the sales ability.

    4. Basic ratio and decomposition ratio

    The above three ratios are interrelated and are sometimes referred to as base ratios and split ratios.

    ROA=

    Profit Margin

    ×

    Asset Turnover

    Return on Assets=

    Profit

    ×

    Sales revenue

    Sales revenue

    Total assets

    If a company's return on assets is 30%, it may be realized by a profit rate of 15% and a capital turnover rate of 2 times; it may also be realized by a profit rate of 5% and a capital turnover rate of 6 times. In short, the return on assets is determined by both the profit rate and the asset turnover rate. To maintain a good financial condition of a company, both are indispensable.
