Financial ratio analysis is a valuable tool to assess a company's financial efficiency,
competitiveness, equity, and debt position.
Financial ratios are numeric relationships between different financial data points, often
expressed as percentages or proportions.
Businesses, organizations, investors, creditors, and shareholders use financial ratios to
assess a company's success, financial position, and market standing.
Financial ratios play a crucial role in decision-making processes, such as determining
solvency and protecting investments.

The primary goal of every organization is to increase profitability (Ross et al., 2003).
Profitability is the most challenging phase for any company to conceptualize (Dr. Jamil Anwar & Dr.
Said Shah, 2021).
Profitability is determined by a company's cost of sales and satisfying earnings (Heriyanto et al.,
2021).
Profitability ratios help assess a company's effective use of earnings (Harsha Vardhan et al., 2014).
Historical performance analysis and industry averages comparison provide a better understanding
(Brigham and Houston, 2012).
Profitability ratios can be divided into margin ratios and return ratios (Adjirackor et al., 2017).

Gross Profit Margin: Indicates the proportion of gross profit earned on sales (Wood
and Sangster, 2008). Formula: (Total Sales Revenue - COGS) ÷ Total Revenue
Net Profit Ratio: Measures the percentage of net profit in relation to total sales
(Zhou et al., 2022). Formula: Net profit / Total revenue
Operating Profit Ratio: Gauges how much profit a firm earns from core operations
before interest and taxes (Saputra, 2022). Formula: Operating profit / Net sales

Liquidity ratios assess a company's ability to meet short-term financial obligations
(Dr. Jamil Anwar & Dr. Said Shah, 2021).
Current ratio and quick ratio are key liquidity ratios.
Current Ratio: Measures a company's overall liquidity by dividing current assets by
current liabilities (Do et al., 2020).
Formula: Current assets / Current liabilities
1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 31
Quick Ratio: Assesses liquidity by dividing quick assets by current liabilities
(Bordeianu & Radu, 2020).
Quick assets include cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable.
Formula: (Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivable) / Current liabilities
Cash Ratio: Strictest assessment of liquidity, dividing cash and cash equivalents by
current liabilities (Maisharoh & Riyanto, 2020).
Formula: Cash and cash equivalents / Current liabilities

• Overall, these results suggest that several financial ratios are
statistically significant in explaining the variation in the
dependent variable, while others do not show statistical
significance. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.809667
indicates that the model explains approximately 81% of the
variability in the dependent variable, which is relatively high.
The F-statistic and its associated p-value (Prob(F-statistic) =
0.000000) indicate that the overall regression model is
statistically significant. The Durbin-Watson statistic (1.465118)
suggests that there may be some autocorrelation in the
residuals, which should be further investigated.

• Significant financial ratios influencing return on investment
(ROI): CuR, QR, CCC, ICR, TDTA, GPR, NPR, OPR, TATR,
TDTE, WCTR.
• These ratios are vital for assessing a company's financial
performance and profitability.
• Insignificant ratios regarding ROI: CR and FATR.
• The overall model explains 82.3% of ROI variability (R2 =
0.832), indicating a strong influence of independent variables
on ROI.

• Maintain a healthy Current Ratio (CUR) to positively impact ROI by ensuring
short-term assets cover short-term liabilities.
• Aim for a higher Quick Ratio (QR) to improve ROI, indicating the ability to
meet short-term obligations with liquid assets.
• Streamline the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) for a shorter duration, leading
to a positive ROI effect by converting inventory and receivables into cash
more efficiently.
• Monitor the Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) to ensure higher ROI by having
enough earnings to cover debt interest expenses.
• Optimize the Gross Profit Ratio (GPR) for increased ROI; focus on boosting
gross profit while managing costs.
1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 50

cost management and revenue generation.
• Improve the Operating Profit Ratio (OPR) for higher ROI, considering strategies to
increase operating profits efficiently.
• Enhance Total Asset Turnover Ratio (TATR) to increase ROI; use assets effectively
to generate revenue.
• Carefully manage Total Debt to Total Assets (TDTA) and Total Debt to Equity
(TDTE) ratios, as they can impact ROI; maintain a balanced capital structure.
• Efficiently manage Working Capital Turnover Ratio (WCTR) to positively affect
ROI.
• Overall, maintain a strong financial position, manage assets and liabilities
efficiently, focus on profitability, and carefully consider financial health and
leverage for improved ROI.

  • 7. • Please mention the research gap and novelty • Please justify the duration and sector (cement) 1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 7
  • 8. • The economic development of Pakistan is significantly dependent on the cement industry within the country. Numerous organizations within the industry are undertaking comprehensive reorganization efforts to revamp their business methods and operational operations (M. I. Khan & Hassan, 2013; Riaz, 2013). • The Karachi Stock Exchange comprises a total of 21 cement companies, together valued at around Rs. 25 billion, as listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange(Riaz, 2013). 1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 8
  • 9. • Pakistan's economic development relies significantly on its cement industry. • Many organizations in the cement industry are undergoing comprehensive reorganization efforts for sustainable corporate development, cost-effective expansion, and environmental and social responsibility. • The Karachi Stock Exchange includes 21 cement companies valued at approximately Rs. 25 billion. • The All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA) reports 24 cement plants in Pakistan. • The term "performance" has its roots in archaic French, signifying the achievement of objectives. 1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 9
  • 10. • Performance encompasses execution, implementation, achievement, and completion of responsibilities, assessed based on criteria like correctness, income generation, thoroughness, and timeliness. • In finance, performance is used to evaluate a company's policies, operations, and financial outcomes, assessing adherence to regulatory requirements and financial standing. • Financial performance evaluation is crucial for managing assets, funding, revenue, and expenditures to increase sales, profitability, and shareholder value. • It provides stakeholders with information for informed decision-making, industry analysis, and peer comparisons. • Ensuring corporate governance, risk management, profitability, and informed assessments require diligent research and reliable data. 1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 10
  • 11. • Pakistan's overall economic development is heavily influenced by the success of its cement industry. • The sector experienced significant growth between 1956 and 1966 but struggled to keep pace with the broader economy. • Privatization of the cement industry in 1990 facilitated infrastructure development. • Exceptional growth in the sector occurred over the past decade, driven by GDP growth and post- earthquake reconstruction efforts. • Pakistan's cement production exceeds domestic demand, with significant exports to countries like India, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the United Arab Emirates. 1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 11
  • 12. • Conducting financial analysis on cement companies in Pakistan is essential for detecting and resolving issues such as liquidity, profitability, and stability (Mansoor 2019; Zahoor et al. 2022a). • Financial crises' impact on both developed and developing economies is significant, making financial analysis crucial (Zahoor et al. 2022b). • The study aims to analyze cement companies' financial performance to identify key success factors and formulate strategies to enhance their performance (Sarwat et al. 2017). • Regular financial analysis in cement companies is vital for achieving financial goals and preventing potential bankruptcy (Akhtar 2012a; Yousaf 2017). 1/9/2024 Faculty of Science, Technology and Humanities 12
