Executive Summary
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is the leading steel-making company in India. It is a
fully integrated iron and steel maker, producing both basic and special steels for domestic
construction, engineering, power, railway, automotive and defense industries and for sale in
export markets. SAIL is also among the five Maharatnas of the country's Central Public Sector
Enterprises. The Government of India owns about 86% of SAIL's equity and retains voting
control of the Company.
Global business witnessed a worldwide downturn in all sphere of business including steel
industry in the second half of 2008-09. The global economy started recovering gradually
during2009-10. SAIL has reoriented production in line with market demand, substantially
increased production of value added steel and achieved the saleable steel production of 12.6 MT
representing 114% of capacity utilization. Sales volume of saleable steel also improved by 7% at
12.1 MT as against 11.3 MT in 2008-09. The steel prices which were at its lowest
duringOctober-December 2008 started recovering gradually from January 2009 onwards, but at a
very slow pace. Towards the end of current year, the steel prices reached its peak for the
financial year 2009-10.Despite higher sales volume of saleable steel for FY 2009-10, SAIL
achieved the turnover of 43935 Crore which was lower by 9.9 % as compared to previous year
mainly due to reduction in average net sales realization of saleable steel during 2009-
10. However, as compared to CPLY, the profitability improved due to higher saleable steel
production (1.1%) and sales volume (7%), improved production of value added products (24%),
improvement in BF productivity, reduction in coke rate and specific energy consumption,
favorable impact of input prices, particularly of imported coal, nickel, Ferro manganese, silicon
manganese, aluminum etc., reduction in ocean freight on imported coal, reduction in stores &
spares consumption, repair & maintenance expenses, optimization in procurement, prudent funds
management, curtailing cost of production, etc. The profitability was affected due to lower net
sales realization, increase in royalty on minerals, higher interest cost and depreciation etc. The
profit before tax of Rs. 10132 crore was higher by Rs. 733 crore over previous year (Rs. 9399
crore).
6. 6 | P a g e
During the year, SAIL has continued its thrust on better fund management. M/s FITCH and M/s
CARE, RBI approved credit rating agencies, maintained "AAA" ratings indicating the highest
safety to SAIL's long term borrowing programmed.
This project is a sincere effort to study and analyze the Financial Management of SAIL and its
competitors and also a good experience because every manufacturing company faces the
problem of Financial Management in their day to day processes and need to analysis financial
performance against its competitors.

Introduction
The project on comparison of financial statement of SAIL with other steel sectors in India has
been a very good experience. Every manufacturing company faces the problem of Financial
Management in their day to day processes. An organizations cost can be reduced and the profit
can be increased only if it is able to manage the financial position of its firm. At the same time
the company can provide customer satisfaction and hence can improve their overall productivity
and profitability.
This project is a sincere effort to study and analyze the Financial Management of SAIL and its
competitors. The project work was divided into two phases. The first phase was focused on
company profile of SAIL, Tata Steel and JSW Steel on the bases on Background, Business
Description, Marketing and Distribution Network, CSR Initiatives, etc and the second phase was
conducted a Comparative analysis of SAIL with its competitors TATA Steel and JSW Steel on
the bases of Production Performance, Financial Performance, Ratio Analysis, Segmental Break-
up and Analysis of Cost and GSR/NSR.
The internship is a bridge between the institute and the organization. This made me to be
involved in a project that helped me to employ my theoretical knowledge about how the Analysis
of Financial Statement is done by the firm. And in the process I could contribute substantially to
the organizations growth. The experience that I gathered over the past two months has certainly
provided the orientation, which I believe will help me in shouldering any responsibility in future.

Objectives of the study
To study the financial position of the SAIL and its competitors.
To analyze the financial stability SAIL in general.
To analyze and interpret the trends as revealed by various ratios of the SAIL in particular.
Importance of the study
By Financial Performance Analysis of SAILwe would be able to get a fair picture of the
financial position of SAIL.
Protecting the property of the business.
Compliances with legal requirement.
Limitation of the study
The analysis and interpretation are based on secondary data contained in the published
annual reports of SAIL for the study period.
The comparison is rendered difficult because of differences in situations of one company
as compared to the other.
Ratios are tool of quantitative analysis only. Normally qualitative factors are needed to
draw conclusions.
The study of financial performance can be only a means to know about the financial
condition of the company and cannot show a through picture of the activities of the
company.

ResearchMethodology
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. So, the research
methodology not only talks about the research methods but also considers the logic behind the
method used in the context of the research study. During my project work, I have used a lot of
data to understand concept of comparative financial statements and Ratio Analysis. The data
collected was interpreted and then used as information in project.
Source of Data Collection
The required data for the study are basically secondary in nature and the data are collected from
the audited reports of 2009- 2010 of the SAIL and its competitors- TATA Steel and JSW and
from reference books.
Methods of Data Analysis
The data collected were edited, classified and tabulated for analysis. The analytical tools used in
this study are:
Comparative Financial Statements.
Ratio Analysis.

Understanding TheoreticalBackground
Meaning
Financial statement analysis is a systematic process that examines past and current financial
data for the purpose of evaluating performance and estimating future risk and potentials. The
complex data given in these financial statements is divided/ broken into simple and valuable
elements and relationship are established between the elements of the same statements or
different financial statements. This process of division, establishing relationship and
interpretation thereof to understand the working and financial position of a business is known as
analysis of Financial Statements. Financial statement analysis is used by investors, creditor,
security analysts, bank lending officers, managers, governmental agencies, suppliers, and many
other parties who rely on financial data for making economic decisions about a company.
Tools ofFinancial Statements Analysis
Comparative Financial Statements
Common-Size Financial Statements
Trend Percentage
Ratio Analysis
Fund Flow Statement
Cash flow Statement
(Here for this study Comparative Financial Statements and Ratio Analysis were taken)
Comparative Financial Statements
It shows the operating results for a number of accounting periods so that change in data in terms
of money and percentage from one period to another may be known. Here we have make the
Comparative Financial Statements of SAIL, TATA Steel, JSW Steel and RINL.
22. 22 | P a g e
Objectives of Comparative Financial Statements
To analyze the income and expenditure for two or more years.
To analyze the increase or decrease in the income and expenditure in terms of rupee and
also the percentage.
To review the business operations of the last year and its likely effect on the current years
operations.
Ratio Analysis
Ratio is simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to another. It may be
defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions. Ratio analysis is an important
technique, which is widely used for interpreting financial statement. The technique serves as a
tool for assessing the current and long-term financial soundness of a business. It is also used to
analysis various aspects of operating efficiency and level of profitability. Thus, Ratio analysis is
a study of relationship among various financial factors in a business.
Objectives of Ratio Analysis
To judge the earning capacity (profitability), financial soundness (position) and operating
efficiency of a business organization.
To help in business planning and forecasting.
To locate the weak spots in the business and take remedial action.
Estimate about the trend of the business.
23. 23 | P a g e
ClassificationofRatios
Classification of ratio is made based on requirement by end users and they indicate symptoms as
characteristic of the company.
Debt- Equity Ratios
It is used to compute the soundness of the long- term financial position of the firm. This ratio
expresses a relationship between debt (external equities) and equity (internal equities).
Debt- Equity Ratio = Debt (Long-term Loans)
Equity (Shareholders™ Funds)
Acceptable Debt-Equity Ratio is 2:1 which means debt can be twice the equity.
PAT (profit after tax) to Avg. Net Worth Ratio
Return on Average Net Worth = Profit after Taxes X 100
Average Net Worth
(Net Worth = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + Reserves & Surplus
Miscellaneous Expenses to the extent not written off or adjusted - Foreign Currency Monetary
Translation Diff Account).
Debtor Turnover Ratio
This ratio establishes the relationship between net credit sales and average debtors of the
year. Average debtors are calculated by dividing the sum of debtors in the beginning and at the
end by 2.
Debtor Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales
Average Debtors
Average Age of Debtors = 365days or 12months
Debtor Turnover
Average Age of Debtors is also called Debtors Velocity or Average Collection Period or Period
of Credit given. It is used to find out the period within which debtors are realized.
24. 24 | P a g e
Earnings per Share
EPS indicates the quantum of net profit of the year that would be ranking for dividend for each
share of the company being held by the equity share holders.
Earnings per Share = Net profit after Taxes - Preference Dividend
No. of Equity Shares
This ratio helps in evaluating the prevailing market price of share in the light of profit-
earningcapacity. The more the earning per share better is the performance and prospects of the
company.
Current Ratio
It is the relationship between the current assets and current liabilities and is computed to assess
the short-term financial position of the enterprise.
Current Ratio = Current Assets
Current Liabilities
As a conventional rule a Current Ratio of 2:1 is considered most satisfactory. Higher the current
ratio, greater the short-term solvency.
PBT/Turnover
PBT/Turnover = Profit before Tax

From the above summarized & re- drawn P&L A/cs, the apparent observations are as under:
The sales quantity of SAIL is 12.11 which was improved CPLY by 7% but TATA has
significant advantage in sales realization per tonne of saleable steel sales. The GSR/t of
Tata Steel at 42873/t is higher by Rs. 6592.3 as compared to SAIL but SAIL has
advantage of Rs. 2264.6/t as compared to GSR/t of JSW steel.
Higher per tonne sale realization of TATA is mainly due to enrichment of product mix.
Other factors such as reduction in credit tenure, shortened supply lead time, introduction
of price extras, Customer meets, new supply points, domestic and export sales, etc may
also contributed to variation in realization per tonne of saleable steel.
The NSR/t of SAIL at 34110.0 is lower by Rs. 5949.7 as compared to TATA but higher
by Rs. 2092.5 as compared to JSW Steel and 6% decrease over CPLY in SAIL in net
sales turnover while there is an increase of 3% in Tata Steel.
However, on expenditure side, total expenditure per tonne of saleable steel sales is lower
in SAIL by about Rs. 3482.7/t as compare to TATA. Apart from production mix which
affects the cost, the item wise analysis of expenditure are as under:-
Raw Material expenditure in TATA is lower by Rs. 3901/t as compared to SAIL. One of
the reasons of lower expenditure in Tata Steel would be lower imported coal as compared
to SAIL. Over CPLY there is 15% and 7% decrease in SAIL and TATA respectively
whereas in JSW, there is increase about 66% in raw material consumed.
Employee/Staff cost in Tata Steel at Rs.3666.9/t if saleable sales is lower in comparison
to SAIL Employee cost at Rs. 4288.2/t. Labour productivity in SAIL is 226 Tonnes
CS/M/Y and in Tata, it was 510 tonne CS/M/Y. Over CPLY there is 2% and 2% increase
in JSW and TATA respectively whereas in SAIL, there is decrease about 36% in staff
cost.
EBIDTA up by 55% to Rs. 4,806 crores (Rs.8401.6/t) mainly due to reduction in cost of
production relative to last year and foreign exchange gains of Rs. 412.95 crores in JSW
Steel and over CPLY, there is change about 109% whereas EBIDTA up by 8.5% to Rs.
28. 28 | P a g e
11,871 crore (Rs. 9802.9/t) in SAIL and in TATA, EBIDTA up by 4% to Rs. 9805.88 crore (Rs
15892.8/t).
The profitability of SAIL was affected due to lower net sales realisation, increase in royalty
on minerals, higher interest cost and depreciation etc. The profit before tax (PBT) of Rs.
10132 crore (Rs. 8366.7/t) was higher by Rs. 733 crore over previous year (Rs. 9399 crore)
and profit after tax (PAT) was Rs. 6754 crore (Rs. 5577.5/t) which was higher by Rs. 583
crore i.e., 9% increase over CPLY and JSW also posted a highest ever Profit after Tax of Rs.
2,022.74 crores (Rs. 3536.3/t), up 341% over CPLY whereas there is a decrease of 1% (Rs.
11692.5/t) and 3% in PBT and PAT (Rs. 8179.6/t) respectively in TATA Steel which affects
its profitability during the FY09-10.
Share Capital in SAIL is Rs. 4130.40/crore whereas in Tata Steel, it is Rs. 887.41./crore and
in JSW, it is 527.11/crore. EPS Basic is Rs. 16.35/share in SAIL and Rs. 60.26/share in
TATA whereas Rs. 106.34/share in JSW Steel.
Staff cost to Total cost is higher in SAIL which is 17% whereas 13% and 2% in TATA and
JSW respectively.
EBIDTA Margin (EBIDTA/Net Sales Turnover) is higher in TATA which is 40% as
compared to SAIL (29%) and JSW (26%).
A further analysis of cost and profitability has been attempted between SAIL, Tata Steel and
JSW Steel on like to like basis in part of the note.

C. Ratio Analysis
A brief ratio analysis has also been attempted between SAIL and domestic competitors (Tata
Steel, JSW Steel and RINL).The ratios of competitors are either taken from published Annual
Reports or re-computed for like to like comparison.
The major Ratios for the year 2009-10 are tabulated below:
S.NO. RATIOS UNITS SAIL TATA JSW STEEL
STEEL
1. Debt Equity Times 0.50:1 0.61:1 1.07:1
2. PAT to Avg. Net Worth % 21.98% 15.12% 23.66%
3. Average Age of Debtors Days 29 8 11
4. EPS Rs/Share 16.35 60.26 106.34
5. PBT/Turnover % 24.99% 28.83% 15.49%
6. PAT/Turnover % 16.65% 20.17% 11.11%
7. Current Ratio Times 3.52 1.15 0.72
Debt- Equity Ratio: Increase in the ratio of SAIL in FY09-10 is due mainly on account of
increase in borrowings for capital expenditure while the debts are decreased in Tata Steel due
to stringent credit control measures and lower exports. There is decrease in Debt- Equity
ratio of JSW from 1.24:1 to 1.07:1 is due to additional borrowings for expansion projects.
PAT (profit after tax) to Avg. Net Worth: The ratio is highest for JSW at 23.7% followed
by SAIL at 22% and 15% for Tata Steel. The ratio has decreased for SAIL and increased for
JSW due to an increase in the Company’s profit. The ratio of Tata Steel is declined due to
issue of Cumulative Preference Shares.
Average Age of Debtors: The ratio is one part of measuring efficiency of fund/working
capital management. The collection period is 8 days for Tata Steel and 10 days for JSWas
compared to 29 days for SAIL. One of the reasons for higher age of debtors SAIL may be
due to compulsive credit sales to Govt. Departments/PSU.
30. 30 | P a g e
Earnings per Share (EPS): EPS at Rs. 106.34 per share is highest for JSW as compared to
Rs. 16.35 for SAIL and Rs. 60.26 for Tata Steel. The lower EPS in case of SAIL is due to its
large paid up capital base (Rs. 4130 crores) as compared to Tata Steel and JSW.
Current Ratio: The ratios compute the number of times the current assets are in excess over
current liabilities. SAIL has a high ratio i.e., 3.52 which shows that it has enough liquidity
while JSW has low ratio i.e., 0.72 which means company is unable to meet its current
liabilities on time.

C. Employee Cost -
Employee cost in Tata Steel at Rs.3666.9/t if saleable sales is lower in comparison to SAIL
Employee cost at Rs. 4288.2/t.
The manpower of Tata Steel as on 31.03.10 was 34,101 as against on the same date in SAIL.
The manpower is 1, 16,950 for 5 ISPs in SAIL and in JSW Steel, the manpower is near about
7,703.
Average employee cost in Tata Steel is around Rs. 6.92 lakhs per annum per employee as
compared to Rs. 4.63 lakhs per annum in SAIL and in JSW Steel, it is around 4.73 lakhs.
Labour productivity in SAIL is 226 Tonnes CS/M/Y and in Tata, it was 510 tonne CS/M/Y.
In JSW Steel, Employee remuneration and benefits are increased from 288.75 crores to 365.2
crores mainly because of annual increments and rise in manpower relating to operations, on
commissioning of new facilities at Vijayanagar, which were under construction in last year.
In SAIL, the Employee remuneration and benefits were decreased with a significant change
around 36% over CPLY whereas there is 2% and 2% increase in JSW and TATA
respectively.
While in Tata Steel, the Staff cost or Employee remuneration and benefits was higher mainly
due to annual increases in salary and allowances partly offset by lower charges of employee
benefits towards gratuity and ESS on account of higher discounting rates applied for actuarial
valuation.
33. 33 | P a g e
D.Other Operating Cost -
Cost of Store & Spare is almost comparable. The cost is lower by Rs. 35.48/t in SAIL as
compared to Tata Steel. The part of difference may be due to proportion of stores and spares
internally manufactured, freight component, difference in requirements, procurement rate,
etc.
Power & Fuel cost is lower in Tata Steel which is Rs.1969.3/t as compared to Rs. 25663.3/t
in SAIL. Lower cost in Tata Steel may be due to additional volumes of purchased power to
cater to its requirement for additional production whereas SAIL purchased electricity from
outside including JVCs. The power purchase rate in Tata Steel is around Rs. 2.84/kwh and
avg. cost from own generation is about Rs. 2.08/kwh. For SAIL, the avg. power purchase
cost is Rs. 3.46/kwh and for JSW, the avg. power purchase cost is Rs. 3.52.
Repair & Maintenance cost Rs. 451/t in SAIL as against Rs. 1566.64/t in Tata Steel. This
repair and maintenance expenses for SAIL and Tata Steel includes repairs on building and
Plant & Machinery under the heading of store and spares, Employees' Remuneration &
Benefits, etc.
Interest cost of Tata is higher as compared to SAIL and JSW. It is around Rs. 1508.4 crores
(Rs.2342.2/t) in Tata Steel and Rs 402.51 crores (Rs. 318.2/t) in SAIL and Rs. 822.68 crores
in JSW Steel.
Freight and handling expenditure are higher in Tata Steel by Rs. 1573.8/t as compared to
SAIL. The reason may be higher volume of steel dispatches by both rail and road and port
handling charges under this head by Tata. This may resulted in lower expenditure in Tata
Steel as compared to SAIL.
Depreciation is higher in Tata as compared to SAIL and JSW. It is around Rs. 1083.1crores
(Rs.1682 /t) in Tata Steel and Rs 1337.29 crores (Rs. 1058.6/t) in SAIL and Rs.
1123.41crores in JSW Steel.
Other Expenses is higher in TATA at Rs. 8205.1/t as compared to Rs. 1705.3/t for SAIL.
34. 34 | P a g e
E. GSR/NSR -
Tata Steel has significant advantage in sales realization per tonne of saleable steel sales. The
GSR/t of Tata Steel at 42873/t is higher by Rs. 6592.3 as compared to SAIL but SAIL has
advantage of Rs. 2264.6/t as compared to GSR/t of JSW steel.
Higher per tonne sale realization of Tata Steel is mainly due to enrichment of product mix.
Other factors such as reduction in credit tenure, shortened supply lead time, introduction of
price extras, Customer meets, new supply points, domestic and export sales, etc may also
contributed to variation in realization per tonne of saleable steel.
The NSR/t of SAIL at 34110.0 is lower by Rs. 5949.7 as compared to Tata Steel but higher
by Rs. 2092.5 as compared to JSW Steel and 6% decrease over CPLY in SAIL in net sales
turnover while there is an increase of 3% in Tata Steel.

Conclusion
In this project, I draw an Inter Firm Comparison between SAIL and its competitors and ratio
analysis; these statements and ratios are very useful to interpret financial position of the
company. From that it is clear that the SAIL, TATA and JSW are in advanced stage.
On the basis of analysis of financial statements and Ratios of SAIL we may conclude that the
overall working stability soundness have improved over the years.
SAIL registered a turnover of Rs. 43,935 crore. EBIDTA of Rs. 11,871 crore - a growth of
8.5%. Profit before Tax (PBT) of Rs. 10,132 crore, higher by 8% - second highest since
inception. Profit after Tax (PAT) of Rs. 6,754 crore, higher by 9.5%.
Produced 14.5 million tonnes of Hot Metal, 13.5 million tonnes of crude steel and 12.6
million tonnes of saleable steel. Best ever sales of 4.45 million tonnes of long products,
higher by 3% over last year.
Highest ever labour productivity of 226 tonnes/ man/ year. Best ever coke rate at 517 Kg/thm
(1% improvement). Best ever specific energy consumption at 6.72 Gcal/tcs (Previous best of
6.74 Gcal/tcs achieved in FY'09).
The debtor’s turnover ratio is lower for SAIL compared to its competitors which shows that
the debtors are less liquid implying inefficient management of debtors/sales.
The proportion of current assets to total assets has increased comparing to current liabilities
which serve as an evidence for good working capital position of the company.
The current ratio for SAIL is more than other competitors which shows that it has enough
liquidity in comparison to other competitors.
The debt equity ratio is 0.50 which is lower than the competitors. This means that it is more
traditionally financed in comparison to other competitors. It has lower debt so it can easily
raise debt in future.
SAIL is more efficient and effective to utilize its fund
