1. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
FOREWORD
Nestlé S.A. is the largest food and beverage company in the world with a
manufacturing facility or office in nearly every country of the world, Nestlé
often is referred to as "the most multinational of the multinationals." Nestlé
markets approximately 7,500 brands organized into the following
categories: baby foods, breakfast cereals, chocolate and confectionery,
beverages, bottled water, dairy products, ice cream, prepared foods,
foodservice, and pet care.
The object of this piece of paper is to present the current situation of
Nestlé regarding its ratio analysis. We all have learned a lot by preparing
this project. It provides us a chance to view the practical use of ratio
analysis in market. The practical importance of this analysis is not
something hidden or fake but it is something that can distinguish us in the
market.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First of all we are much thankful to our ALLAH, by the help of which we are
able to complete our work.
Secondly, we are thankful to MR. ADNAN MASOOD, Business Controller
Dairy, having an experience of 10 years, and MR. IJAZ AHMAD Control
Coordinator of Supply Chain Division, having an experience of 13 years in
NESTLE Pakistan Ltd. In providing every kind of information and relative
material we needed. They treated us very well and encouraged at every
step that build up our thoughts and increase our knowledge a lot.
Special attention to the thing is that only knowing about formulas doesn’t
make any sense or help out in ratio analysis but it’s all about the

5. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
The origins of the Nestlé Company go all the way
back to 1867, when Henri Nestlé created a
nutritious product for infants that could be used
by mothers who were unable to breast-feed.
Henri Nestlé made use of his family escutcheon,
the "Nest", a graphic translation of his name,
little nest, to personify the business. Evocative of
security, maternity and affection, nature and
nourishment, family and tradition, this symbol
remains the central element in the Nestlé corporate
identity.
Merchant, chemist and inventor Henri Nestlé,
established in Vevey, Switzerland, makes a
breakthrough when his new formula saves the life
of a premature infant. Later that year, he begins
production of his new product, Farine Lactée
Nestlé. In the years since Nestlé developed his
infant formula, the history of the Nestlé Company
has been marked by many firsts.
The first commercially sold infant formula; the first condensed milk
produced in Europe; the first milk chocolate; the first soluble coffee; the
first freeze-dried coffee; the first granulated instant coffee -- to name just a
few. Today, the Nestlé Company has grown and expanded to include the
widest range of wholesome foods for people throughout the world.
Nestlé now produces the world's favorite brands in 489 factories
worldwide. In 130 years of growth and diversification, we have never lost
sight of our core business: improving the quality of people's lives through
high-quality, nutritious, and convenient prepared foods and beverages.
Today, Nestlé brands are known on every continent, and some products --
like Nescafe, Carnation and Maggi -- are sold in more than 100 countries.
Nestlé, in its 129th year of operation, is the largest food company in the
world and is still based in Vevey, Switzerland.

6. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
Nestlé has been serving Pakistani consumers since 1988, when the parent
company, the Switzerland-based Nestlé SA, first acquired a share in
Milkpak Ltd. Today Nestle is fully integrated in Pakistani life, and are
recognized as producers of safe, nutritious and tasty food, and leaders in
developing and uplifting the communities in which they operate.
The first half of the 1990s proved to be a favorable time for Nestlé: trade
Barriers crumbled and world economic markets developed into a series of
More or less integrated trading areas. The opening of Central and Eastern
Europe, as well as China, and a general trend towards liberalization of
direct foreign investment was good news for a company with interests as
far-flung and diverse as Nestlé. While progress since then has not been as
encouraging, the overall trends remain positive. Nestlé is looking forward
for stronger financial position.
Nestle is committed to the following Business Principles in all countries,
taking into account local legislation, cultural and religious practices:
• Nestle's business objective is to manufacture and market the
Company's products in such a way as to create value that can be
sustained over the long term for shareholders, employees,
consumers, and business partners.
• Nestle does not favor short-term profit at the expense of successful
long-term business development.
• Nestle recognizes that its consumers have a sincere and legitimate
interest in the behavior, beliefs and actions of the Company behind
brands in which they place their trust, and that without its consumers
the Company would not exist.
• Nestle believes that, as a general rule, legislation is the most
effective safeguard of responsible conduct, although in certain
areas, additional guidance to staff in the form of voluntary business
principles is beneficial in order to ensure that the highest standards
are met throughout the organization.
• Nestle is conscious of the fact that the success of a corporation is a
reflection of the professionalism, conduct and the responsible
attitude of its management and employees. Therefore recruitment of
the right people and ongoing training and development are crucial.
• Nestlé continues to maintain its commitment to follow and respect all
applicable local laws in each of its markets.

7. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios which
are derived from the information in a company's financial statements. The
level and historical trends of these ratios can be used to make inferences
about a company's financial condition, its operations and attractiveness as
an investment.
One of the ways in which financial statements can be put to work is
through ratio analysis. Ratios are simply one number divided by another;
as such they may or not be meaningful. In finance, ratios are usually two
financial statement items that may be related to one another and may
provide the prudent user a good deal of information. Of the myriad of ratios
that could be generated, some will be more meaningful than others.
Generally ratios are divided into four areas of classification that provide
different kinds of information:
1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
2. TURNOVER RATIOS
3. DEBT RATIOS
4. PROFITABILITY RATIOS
1. LIQUIDITY RATIOS
A class of financial metrics that is used to determine a company's ability to
pay off its short-terms debts obligations. Generally, the higher the value of
the ratio, the larger the margin of safety that the company possesses to
cover short-term debts.
A company's ability to turn short-term assets into cash to cover debts is of
the utmost importance when creditors are seeking payment. Bankruptcy
analysts and mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios to
determine whether a company will be able to continue as a going concern.
2. ACTIVITY RATIO
Accounting ratios measure a firm's ability to convert different accounts
within their balance sheets into cash or sales.
Companies will typically try to turn their production into cash or sales as
fast as possible because this will generally lead to higher revenues.
7
8. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
Such ratios are frequently used when performing fundamental analysis on
different companies. The asset turnover ratio and inventory turnover ratio
are good examples of activity ratios.
The most used activity ratios are INVENTORY TURNOVER, AVERAGE
COLLECTION PERIOD, AVERAGE PAYMENT PERIOD and TOTAL
ASSET TURNOVER.
3. DEBT RATIO
A ratio that indicates what proportion of debt a company has relative
to its assets. The measure gives an idea to the leverage of the company
along with the potential risks the company faces in terms of its debt-load.
A debt ratio of greater than 1 indicates that a company has more debt than
assets; meanwhile, a debt ratio of less than 1 indicates that a company
has more assets than debt. Used in conjunction with other measures of
financial health, the debt ratio can help investors determine a company's
level of risk.
Generally used DEBT RATIOS are DEBT RATIO and TIME INTEREST
EARNED RATIO.
4. PROFITABILITY RATIOS
A class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to
generate earnings as compared to its expenses and other relevant costs
incurred during a specific period of time. For most of these ratios, having a
higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a
previous period is indicative that the company is doing well.
These are closely linked with income ratios, which shed light upon the
overall effectiveness of management regarding the returns generated on
sales and investment.

9. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity ratios include the current ratio and the quick ratio. Different
analysts consider different assets to be relevant in calculating liquidity.
Some analysts will calculate only the sum of cash and equivalents divided
by current liabilities because they feel that they are the most liquid assets,
and would be the most likely to be used to cover short-term debts in an
emergency.
1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current assets include cash, marketable securities, inventory, and
prepaid expenses. Current liabilities includes accounts payable (1 year
or less), current portions of long-term debt, and salaries payable. The
current ratio measures the ability of the firm to pay is current bills while
still allowing for a safety margin above their required amount needed to
pay current obligations
FOR 2005:
Current ratio = 3,518,718 / 4,333,228
Current ratio = 0.812
FOR 2006:
Current ratio = 4,627,685 / 5,224,488
Current ratio = 0.886
FOR 2007:
Current ratio = 5,623,823 / 5,978,522
Current ratio = 0.941
9
10. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
2) Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
The quick ratio is similar to the current ratio but eliminates the
inventory figure in the current assets section of the balance sheet.
The inventory figure is thought to be the least liquid figure and
should thus, be eliminated. Generally, the quick ratio should be
lower than the current ratio because it eliminates the inventory figure
from the calculation.
For 2005:
Quick ratio = (3,518,718 – 1,742,904) /4,333,228
Quick ratio = 1,775,814 / 4,333,228
Quick ratio = 0.410
For 2006:
Quick ratio = (4,627,685 – 2,236,646) /5,224,488
Quick ratio = 2,391,039/5,224,488
Quick ratio = 0.458
For 2007:
Quick ratio = (5,623,823 – 2,829,879)/ 5,978,522
Quick ratio = 2,793,944/5,978,522
Quick ratio = 0.467

11. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
ACTIVITY RATIO
An indicator of how rapidly a firm converts various accounts into
cash or sales. In general, the sooner management can convert
assets into sales or cash, the more effectively the firm is being run.
1. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods / Total Inventory
The inventory turnover ratio measures the number of times during a
year that a company replaces its inventory. The turnover is only
meaningful when comparing other firms in the industry or a
company’s prior inventory turnover. Differences in turnover rates
result from differing operating characteristics within an industry. The
higher the inventory turnover rate means the more efficiently a
company is able to grow sales volume
For 2005:
Inventory Turnover = 12,357,079/ 1,742,904
Inventory Turnover = 7.090
For 2006:
Inventory Turnover = 15,778,330/2,236,646
Inventory Turnover = 7.054
For 2007:
Inventory Turnover = 20,291,270/ 2,829,879
Inventory Turnover = 7.170
11
12. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
2. Avg. collection period=Accounts Receivable/(Sales / 360 days)
Total accounts receivable includes all outstanding credit obligations
from customers. The sales figure includes sales for the prior four
quarters of financial performance. The figure may also include
amounts on a quarterly basis only. The accounts receivable period is
a measure of a company’s ability to collect accounts receivable
within a timely and reasonable period. The accounts collection
period varies from industry to industry. The smaller the accounts
receivable period, the more effectively a company is in managing
and collecting money from customers.
For 2005:
Avg. Collection period = 865,897 / (17,142,363 / 360 days)
Avg. Collection period= 865,897 / 47,617.675
Avg. Collection period= 18.18 days
For 2006:
Avg. Collection period = 2,109,314 / (22,030,958/360 days)
Avg. Collection period = 2,109,314 / 61,197.11
Avg. Collection period = 34.47 days
For 2007:
Avg. Collection period = 2,022,387 / (28,235,393/360 days)
Avg. Collection period = 2,022,387 / 78,431.65
Avg. Collection period = 25.79 days
12
13. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
3. Avg. Payment Period = Accounts Payable/(Purchases/360 days)
The accounts payable turnover ratio includes all outstanding
obligations that a company owes its creditors. The total
purchases include a percentage of sales based on historical
figures.
For 2005:
Avg. Payment Period = 2,233,660 / (9,496,409/360)
Avg. Payment Period = 2,233,660 / 26,378.91
Avg. Payment Period = 84.68 days
For 2006:
Avg. Payment Period = 2,296,078 / (11,676,369/360)
Avg. Payment Period = 2,296,078 / 32,434.36
Avg. Payment Period = 70.79 days
For 2007:
Avg. Payment Period = 3,151,288 / (16,006,343/360)
Avg. Payment Period = 3,151,288 / 44,462.06
Avg. Payment Period = 70.88 days

14. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
4. Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
The total asset turnover is a measure of how efficiently and
effectively a company uses its assets to generate sales. The higher
the total asset turnover ratio, the more efficiently firm’s assets have
been used.
For 2005:
Total Asset Turnover = 17,142,363 / 8,836,780
Total Asset Turnover = 1.94
For 2006:
Total Asset Turnover = 22,030,958 / 12,927,902
Total Asset Turnover = 1.704
For 2007:
Total Asset Turnover = 28,235,393 / 15,848,574
Total Asset Turnover = 1.782
14
15. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
DEBT RATIOS
Debt ratios measure the total amount and proportion of debt within the
liabilities section of a firm’s balance sheet. These figures are normally
appropriate for comparing a company performance from one period to
another.
a) Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets
The debt ratio is calculated by dividing the total liabilities by total
assets. The higher this ratio, the greater the degree of outside
financing by creditors. It indicates that the firm is more highly
leveraged (debt) and highly risky for creditors.
For 2005:
Debt Ratio = 6,881,733 / 8,836,780
Debt Ratio = 77.88%
For 2006:
Debt Ratio = 10,396,822 / 12,927,902
Debt Ratio = 80.42%
For 2007:
Debt Ratio = 11,736,869 / 15,848,574
Debt Ratio = 74.06%
15
16. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
b) Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Interest
Times interest earned ratio measures the ability of the firm to service
all debts. The figure will indicate how many times a company can
cover its fixed contractual obligations to its creditors. The higher the
times interest earned ratio, the more likely the firm can meet its
obligations. The figure is determined from the income statement by
finding the operating profit margin. The operating profit margin is the
profits of the firm before interest and taxes are subtracted. The
interest figure is the interest obligations for the prior four quarters of
financial performance from the use of long term debt funds.
For 2005:
Times Interest Earned = 2,114,085 / 180,108
Times Interest Earned = 11.74
For 2006:
Times Interest Earned = 2,640,418 / 447,774
Times Interest Earned = 5.90
For 2007:
Times Interest Earned = 3, 511,145 / 584,434
Times Interest Earned = 6.01
16
17. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
The profitability figures measure the ability of the business firm to earn a
profit from its operations through assets, sales, and equity.
a. Gross Profit Margin = ( Sales - Cost of Goods Sold )/ Sales
The gross profit margin indicates the percentage of each sales dollar
remaining after a firm has paid for its goods. The higher the GPM
the better pricing flexibility and cost management controls a firm has
in its operations
For 2005:
Gross Profit Margin = (17,142,863 – 12,357,079)/17,142,863
Gross Profit Margin = 4,785,784 / 17,142,863
Gross Profit Margin = 27.92%
For 2006:
Gross Profit Margin = (22,030,958 – 15,778,330)/22,030,958
Gross Profit Margin = 6,252,628 / 22,030,958
Gross Profit Margin = 28.38%
For 2007:
Gross Profit Margin = (28,235,393 – 20,291,270)/28,235,393
Gross Profit Margin = 7,944,123 / 28,235,393
Gross Profit Margin = 28.14%
17
18. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
b. Operating Profit Margin = Operating Profits / Sales
The operating profit margin indicates the profits of the company
before interest and taxes are deducted from firms operations. The
higher the operating profit margin, the greater pricing flexibility a firm
has in its operations. However, it could also indicate the degree of
cost control management a firm possesses.
For 2005:
Operating Profit Margin = 2,114,085 / 17,142,863
Operating Profit Margin = 12.33%
For 2006:
Operating Profit Margin = 2,640,418 / 22,030,958
Operating Profit Margin = 11.99%
For 2007:
Operating Profit Margin = 3,511,145 / 28,235,393
Operating Profit Margin = 12.44%

25. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
Conclusions and recommendations
Company has the current ratio of 0.812 in 2005, 0.886 in 2006, and 0.941
in 2007 that is not a good ratio as a current ratio of at least 2.0 is cited
acceptable in manufacturing firms. So it shows that firm is not able to pay
its short term obligations as they come due.
Company’s quick ratio is 0.410 for 2005, 0.458 for 2006, and 0.467 for
2007 that is not good because the quick ratio of 1.0 is acceptable in
manufacturing firms. As quick ratio provides a better measure of overall
liquidity only when a firm’s inventory cannot be easily converted into cash.
So it shows that company is not in good condition to pay its short term
obligations.
Company’s inventory turnover is 7.090 for 2005, 7.054 for 2006 and 7.170
for 2007. As inventory turnover shows the liquidity of firm’s inventory and
so is compared in the same industry or with firms past inventory turnover.
In this ratio Analysis Company has maximum inventory turnover in 2007
Average collection period of firm for 2005 is 18.18 days, for 2006 is 34.47
days and for 2007 is 25.79 days. The average collection period is
meaningful only in relation to the firm’s credit terms. If the firm’s credit term
is greater than average collection period then that average collection
period will be acceptable.
Firm’s average payment period for 2005, 2006 and 2007 are 84.68, 70.79
and 70.88 days respectively. This figure is meaningful only in relation to
the average credit terms extended to the firm. A good average payment
period should be less than the average credit terms extended.
The total assets turnover of the firms for 2005 is 1.94, for 2006 is 1.704
and for 2007 is 1.782. Total assets turnover shows that how much
efficiently firm is using its assets. The given figures show that company
turnover its assets 1.94 times in 2005, 1.704 times in 2006 and 1.782
times in 2007.
Company’s debt ratio for 2005, 2006 and 2007 are 77.88%, 80.42% and
74.06% respectively. It means that firm has financed its 77.88% assets by
debt in 2005, and 80.42 % assets in 2006 and 74.06% in 2007 as these
25
26. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT RATIO ANALYSIS
ratios are high so they shows the firm’s degree of indebtedness and the
more financial leverage it has.
Gross profit margin of firm for 2005, 2006 and 2007 are 27.92%, 28.38%
and 28.14% respectively. The firm has higher gross profit in 2006. The
higher gross profit margin is better as it shows the lower relative cost of
merchandise sold.
Company’s operating profit margins for 2005, 2006 and 2007 are 12.33%,
11.99% and 12.44% respectively. Operating profit margin shoes the “pure
profits” that is profits without interest, taxes and preferred stock dividends.
The firm has high operating profit in 2007 that is not a good indicator of
firm’s position.
Net profit margin of firm for 2005 is 6.701%, for 2006 is 6.19% and for
2007 is 6.39%. The high net profit margin is better as it shows the
percentage of each sales dollar remain after all costs and expensive
included interest, taxes and preferred stock dividends has been deducted.
The firm’s net profit margin is not s good and the maximum net profit
margin is 6.701% in last three years.
Firm has earned earnings per share for 2005, 2006 and 2007 Rs. 25.33,
