I.
TAX RATIO:
2014 2013 Tax ratio
128,796- 123,045- income tax expense
0.31%- 0.31%- income tax expense/TA
Table 23: tax ratio
No change in the tax ratio which means it has no impact on ROA.
II. PROFIT MARGIN:
2014 2013
21% 22% profit margin= Net income/TR=(TR-TE-
Taxes)/TR
Table 24: profit margin
In the above table, we noticed that the profit margin decreased from 2013 to 2014. PM is
a measure of cost control. Although in 2014 the total expense ratio decreased but the
company weren’t able to control it. This probably pushed the ROA to be lower in 2014
and consequently ROE.
Moreover, more ratios were calculated in order to evaluate BLOM BANK
performance such as net interest margin, non interest margin, net operating margin,
burden margin, efficiency ratio and spread. All these ratios were consistent with the
decrease of ROA and then the decrease of ROE in 2014.
