PROJECT NOTESType of AnalysisFinancial
StatementDescriptionHorizontalIncome StatementWhen
performing horizontal financial statement analysis on theincome
statement, all income statement items are expressedin terms of
their corresponding revenue or expense category inthe base
year.Horizontal income statement analysis allows a user to see
howwell a company is doing in terms of revenues, expenses
andprofits over time.The base year for the series is the oldest
year, and the changein each revenue, expense and profit line in
subsequent years isexpressed as a percentage change from the
previous year.Ideally, a company would be able to grow its
revenue at afaster rate than its expenses. If this is the case,
then thatcompany's profits would increase over time. If a
company'sexpenses are increasing faster than its revenues,
thenthat company's profits would decline over
4. time.HorizontalBalance SheetWhen performing horizontal
financial statement analysis on thebalance sheet, all balance
sheet items are expressedin terms of their corresponding asset,
liability or owner's equityitem in the base year.Horizontal
balance sheet analysis allows a user to see howwell a company
is doing in terms of assets, liabilities andowner's equity over
time.The base year for the series is the oldest year, and the
changein each asset, liability and owner's equity line in
subsequentyears is expressed as a percentage change from the
previousyear. Ideally, a company would be able to grow its
assets at afaster rate than its liabilities. If this is the case, then
thatcompany's owners' equity would increase over time. If on
theother hand a company's liabilities are increasing faster than
itsassets, then that company's owners' equity would declineover
time.Purpose ofThe purpose of performing horizontal financial
statementHorizontal Financialanalysis is to see how well a
company is doing over time, andStatement Analysisin relation
to its peers (other companies in the same industry),over that
same period. An industry analyst is looking forcompanies that
do better than their competitors over time.VerticalIncome
StatementWhen performing vertical financial statement analysis
on theincome statement, all income statement items for a given
yearare expressed as a percentage of net sales.Although vertical
income statement analysis is performed for agiven year, it can
be performed for more than one year. Oneof the benefits of
doing vertical income statement analysis overmore than one
year is that you can see how consistent acompany is in terms of
managing costs and expenses relativeto sales.When performing
vertical financial statement analysis on theincome statement for
a single year, an analyst might comparea company's cost and
expense percentages relative to thosesame percentages for its
peers. A company that has bettercontrol of its costs and
expenses relative to its peersis likely to be better managed, and
make a better investment.VerticalBalance SheetWhen
performing vertical financial statement analysis on thebalance
sheet, all balance sheet items for a given yearare expressed as a
5. percentage of total assets.Like vertical income statement
analysis, vertical balance sheetanalysis is performed for a given
year, but can also beperformed for more than one year.Analysts
look a individual companies in an industry todetermine how a
company is managing its assets and liabilitiesrelative to its
peers. A company that has lowers liabilities(as a percentage)
relative to its peers, is probably less risky,compared to a
company that has more liabilities (as apercentage of assets).The
most important asset to look at for any company in anyindustry
is how much cash they have relative to total assets,expressed as
a percentage of total assets. Cash is the mostimportant asset for
any company to have, because cash canbuy any other asset or
pay any liability.Another item to look for when performing
vertical financialstatement analysis on the balance sheet is
owners' equity.Companies that have more liabilities (as a
percentage of assets)will have smaller owner's equity (as a
percentage of assets)because liabilities and owners' equity are
on the same side ofthe balance sheet. Paradoxically, this can
make a companywith more debt (liabilities) relative to assets
more profitablebecause of the use of leverage. However too
much debtexposes the company to a greater risk of
bankruptcy.Purpose ofVertical financial statement analysis
allows a user to see expressVertical Financialall income
statement items as a percentage of sales, andStatement
Analysiscompare companies in the same industry, that might
becompletely different in size, by the same metrics.Vertical
financial statement analysis allows a user to express allbalance
sheet items as a percentage of assets to comparecompanies in
the same industry, that might becompletely different in size, by
the same metrics.RatioAs the name would imply, ratio analysis
involves (for the most)creating ratios by dividing a number in
one financial statementby another number in the same financial
statement, or dividinga number in one financial statement, by a
number in anotherfinancial statement. (Working capital
calculations typicallyare part of ratio analysis, but working
capital is not a ratio.)Purpose ofAgain, the primary purpose of
6. performing ratio anaysis is toRatio Analysisallow an analyst to
compare a company in an indsutry, to othercompanies in the
same industry, regardless of size. (When wecompare the same
ratios of companies of different sizes, in thesame industry, the
size of one company compared to its peersis not important.)
