10. Driven by strong economic growth number and
high level of consumption, the region is a net
Importer of scrap metal.
The high demand of scrap metal is fulfilled
through imports from the European Union and
North America. (Source: Steel Year Book 2013)
China produces almost half of world’s total crude
steel production and consumes most of its
production.
Japan, South Korea and India are three other
major players in global steel export market that
are present in this region, making it a highly
competitive region.

• Potential growth was higher during the period but it was halted due to
economic recession during the period
• Asia produce 65% of the global crude steel making it the most significant
region in the world
• Outlook for 2014 and onward is strong as economy conditions are
expected to be more favorable in coming years
• Developing economies in particular are expected to be lucrative for steel
manufactures
• Biggest threat to the steel market remains overproduction as current
global capacity exceeds the demand

12. • The steel industry in Pakistan is dominated by small and
medium-scale re-rolling mills, engaged in re-rolling,
forging and melting activities.
• Current consumption for steel is 3.5mn tonnes (Steel
Year Book 2014). Production lags behind total
consumption hence excess demand is met through
import of semi-finished and finished good .
• Pakistan is still amongst the lowest per capita consumer
of crude steel at 19.1 kg in comparison to regional
average of 262.5kg and world average of 238.2kg.
• Demand is expected to remain high, primarily due the
current Government’s focus on the infrastructural
projects.
• Local steel manufacturer compete against steel
products imported primarily from China, however
recent change in Chinese export regulation have
increased the cost of imported steel, boosting local
industry sales.

19. Comments on Financial Ratio Analysis
Profitability ratios
Profitability ratios depicted mix trend. Sales and profits over the years increased. However,
margins in 2019 dropped due to increase in average cost of scrap and related manufacturing
overheads.
Liquidity ratios
As sales volume increased over the years, liquidity position of the Company improved and
resulted in better cash flows. Therefore, ratios started improving from year 2013 and ended in
much better condition in 2019 as compared to year 2013. However, in 2019, current ratio
slightly decreased due to increase in borrowings.
Activity / turnover ratios
The ratios depicted an overall mixed trend over the years. However, inventory days and ratios
became stable 2015 onwards. Receivables days increased due to increase in outstanding
recoveries.
Investment / Market ratios Increased profitability means increased EPS and this is evident
from the figure which has gone up to 5.46 from 5.13 last year. Break-up value per share as at
the close of the year was the year to 29.82 due to increased profitability. The market value of
the share however closed at 25.16 which was lower than last year.
Capital structure ratios
These ratios have continued to get better since 2013 based on increase in equity, improved
results and healthy cash flows, which have helped the Company pay its debts at accelerated
rates and the trend is evident this year. However, long-term debt to equity ratio increased due
to increase in long-term borrowings.

2:1 is the bench mark.
This shows the ability of the company to cover its current
liabilities with current asset. As the current ratio decreases 2014
,shows that the company’s ability to pay its liabilities has been
decreased which is a bad sign.

2899970
=0.50
1:1 is the bench mark
It shows the ability of a company to pay its
current liabilities through its most liquid assets. in
2014 it decreases to 0.50 which shows that the
company cannot pay its debts without its
inventory . It should b 1:1 or higher.
So the company is not showing a good sign.
24. Working capital

2664779-3846502
= -1181733
2014
1539408-2899970
= -1360562
The decrease in working capital in 2013 has been
increased by 15% in 2014, which shows that in
both years the company’s current liabilities
exceed its current assets which is not good for
company’s health.
25. Interpretation
After the liquidity analysis we conclude
that the liquidity position of a company for
2014 is not progressive as the company is
not in a position to discharge their short
term liabilities.

the above figures show a decrease in the ratio in 2014
and it is not favorable. We can interpret that the
company has increased their cost of goods but their
sales are not increasing.

Higher is better.
As the operating profit ratio of has increased in
2014 which shows that the company have lower
down their operating expenses or may have
changed their policies with regard to expenses
but overall it’s a good sign.

Higher the ratio , higher will the firm’s ability to
pay its taxes. These figures show that the
company has lowered their expenses as the net
profit ratio has increased in 2014 and thus make
themselves able to control its cost
30. Interpretation
The decrease in gross profit ratio does not
mean that the company's sales has been
decreased as their operating profit and net
profit has been increased so the overall
profitability is satisfactory

shows that the creditors of have provided 2.1% of asset

the ratio , lower will be the risk for creditors and
investors to invest in a business because it is the
indication of greater protection to their money.

company has 3.82 rupees to pay 1 Rs tax which
shows good solvency position because higher is
better .

The company is in a better position to
finance its business by obtaining
further debts from financial
institutions or other appropriate
resources.
