3inancial ratios analysis is important to boards% mana&ers% shareholders% investors and others who make $ud&ments about the financial health of or&aniCations. -ne widely accepted method of assessin& financial statements is ratio analysis% which uses data from the balance sheet and income statement to produce values that have easily interpreted financial meanin&. Companies routinely evaluate their financial condition by calculatin& various ratios and comparin& the values to those for previous periods% lookin& for differences that could indicate a meanin&ful chan&e in financial condition. Many companies also compare their own ratio values to those for similar or&aniCations% lookin& for differences that could indicate weaknesses or opportunities for improvement. 3inancial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios which are derived from the information in a companyFs financial statements. The level and historical trends of these

ratios can be used to make inferences about a companyFs financial condition% its operations and attractiveness as an investment. 3inancial ratios are calculated from one or more pieces of information from a companyFs financial statements. 3or eAample% the Gnet profit mar&inG is the net profit from operations divided by the total sales or revenues of a company% eApressed in percenta&e terms. 9n isolation% a financial ratio is a useless piece of information. 9n conteAt% however% a financial ratio can &ive a financial analyst an eAcellent picture of a companyFs situation and the trends that are developin&.
