INTRODUCTION

Ratio analysis is a process of identifying the strength and weakness of the firm by
properly establishing relationship. Analysis of financial statements means
establishing relationship between the items in financial statements for determining
the financial strength and weakness of the business. Therefore, the main purpose
of financial statement analysis is to utilise information about the past performance
of the company in order to predict how it will fare in the future. Another important
purpose of the analysis of financial statements is to identify potential problem
areas and troubleshoot those.

The ultimate aim of any business enterprise is to earn maximum profit. A firm
should earn profits to survive and grow over a long period of time. Profit is an
excess of revenues over associated expenses for an activity over a period of time.
Profit is an excess of revenues over associated expenses for an activity over a
period of time. Management should try to maximise its profit keeping in mind the
welfare of the society. The creditors want to get interest regularly and principle
regularly.
Owners want to get reasonable return on investment. At the end of accounting
period financial statements are prepared by the business enterprise to know the
result of the business operation and the financial position. The financial statement
provides a summarised view of financial position and operation of a firm. Therefore,
much can be learned about a firm from careful examination of its financial
statement

Mahindra and Mahindra Limited has marked its presence with significant
achievements and commands a market leadership status with regard to its
service. It is one of the largest manufactures in Indian automotive industry. Over
the years the company improved with regard to its service. This project is thus
an earnest attempt to analyse profitability of Mahindra and Mahindra Limited

ADVANTAGE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

The advantages of financial statement analysis are listed below:

• The most important benefit if financial statement analysis is that it provides

an idea to the investors about deciding on investing their funds in a
particular company.

• Another advantage of financial statement analysis is that regulatory

authorities like IASB can ensure the company following the required
accounting standards.

• Financial statement analysis is helpful to the government agencies in

analyzing the taxation owed to the firm. Above all, the company is able to
analyze its own performance over a specific time period

LIMITATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

• Financial Statements Are Derived from Historical Costs -Transactions

are initially recorded at their cost. This is a concern when reviewing
the balance sheet, where the values of assets and liabilities may
change over time. Some items, such as marketable securities, are
altered to match changes in their market values, but other items, such
as fixed assets, do not change. Thus, the balance sheet could be
misleading if a large part of the amount presented is based on
historical costs.

• Financial Statements Only Cover a Specific Period of Time - A user

of financial statements can gain an incorrect view of the financial
results or cash flowsof a business by only looking at one reporting
period. Any one period may vary from the normal operating results of
a business, perhaps due to a sudden spike in sales or seasonality
8
 effects. It is better to view a large number of consecutive financial
statements to gain a better view of ongoing results.

• Financial Statements Could be Wrong Due to Fraud- The

management team of a company may deliberately skew the results
presented. This situation can arise when there is undue pressure to
report excellent results, such as when a bonus plan calls for payouts
only if the reported sales level increases. One might suspect the
presence of this issue when the reported results spike to a level
exceeding the industry norm, or well above a company’s historical
trend line of reported results.

• Financial Statements Do Not Cover Non-Financial Issues-The

financial statements do not address non-financial issues, such as the
environmental attentiveness of a company's operations, or how well it
works with the local community. A business reporting excellent
financial results might be a failure in these other areas.

• Financial Statements May Not Have Been Verified- If the financial

statements have not been audited, this means that no one has
examined the accounting policies, practices, and controls of the issuer
to ensure that it has created accurate financial statements. An audit
opinion that accompanies the financial statements is evidence of such
a review.

• Financial Statements Have No Predictive Value- The information in a

set of financial statements provides information about either historical
results or the financial status of a business as of a specific date. The
statements do not necessarily provide any value in predicting what
will happen in the future. For example, a business could report
excellent results in one month, and no sales at all in the next month,
because a contract on which it was relying has ended.

Methods or tools or technique of financial statement analysis

Ratio analysis – Ratio analysis is a technique of analysis, comparison and

interpretation of financial statement. It is a process through which various ratio
are calculated and on that basis conclusions are drawn which become the
base of managerial decision.

Ratio analysis is the comparison of line items in the financial statements of a

business. Ratio analysis is used to evaluate a number of issues with an entity,
such as its liquidity, efficiency of operations, and profitability. This type of
analysis is particularly useful to analysts outside of a business, since their
primary source of information about an organization is its financial statements.

Importance of ratio analysis

1. Financial Statement Analysis- Understanding financial statements are

important for stakeholders of the company. Ratio analysis helps in
understanding the comparison of these numbers; furthermore, it helps in
estimating numbers from income statements and balance sheets for the
future. For e.g. Equity shareholder looks into the P/E ratio ,the Dividend
payout ratio, etc. while creditors observe Debt to Equity ratio, Gross margin
ratio, Debt to asset ratio, etc.

2. Efficiency of Company-Ratio analysis is important in understanding

the company’s ability to generate profit. Return on Asset, Returns on Equity
tell us how much profit the company is able to generate over assets of the
firm and equity investments in the firm, while gross margin and operating
margin ratios tell us the company’s ability to generate profit from sales and
operating efficiency.

10
3. Planning and Forecasting- From a Management and investor point of
view, ratio analysis helps to understand and estimate the company’s future
financials and operations. Ratios formed from past financial statement
analysis helps in estimating future financials, budgeting, and planning for the
future operations of the company.

4. Identifying Risk and Taking Corrective Actions- The company

operates under various business, market, operations related risks. Ratio
analysis helps in understanding these risks and helps management to
prepare and take necessary actions. Leverage ratios helping performing
sensitivity analysis of various factors affecting the company’s profitability like
sales, cost, debt. Financial leverage ratios like Interest Coverage ratio and
Debt Coverage ratio tell how much the company is dependent on external
capital sources and the company’s ability to repay debt.

5. Peers Comparison- Investor, as well as the company’s management,

makes a comparison with Competitors Company to understand efficiency,
profitability and market share. Ratio analysis is helpful for companies to
perform SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis
in the market. It also tells whether the company is able to perform growth or
not over a period from past financials and whether the company’s financial
position is improving or not.

6. Financial Solvency- The company’s ability to pay short-term debt is

determined by liquidity. Current Ratio, Acid-test ratio tells us whether a
company is able to pay its short-term obligation within a year. The company
continuously runs analysis on past financial statements to understand and
prepare for payment of short-term obligations.

11
7. Decision Making- Ratios provide important information on the
operational efficiency of the company, and the utilization of resources by the
company. It helps management to forecast and planning for future, new
goals, concentrate on the different markets, etc.

Types of Ratio

Liquidity ratios – liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet

its current obligations as and when they become due. Liquidity
ratios measures the short term solvency of a business and for this
purpose following ratio can be computed:

a) Current ratio = current ratio is a most widely used ratio to judge

short term financial position or solvency of a firm. it can be
defined as relationship between current assets and current
liabilities. current ratio of 2 : 1 is considered as satisfactory.

Current Ratio= current assets / current liabilities

b) Liquidity Ratio = it is also called as Quick ratio or Acid test ratio,

measures the ability of business to pay its short term liabilities
by having assets that are readily converted into cash. These
assets are namely cash, marketable securities and account
receivables.

Liquid Ratio= current asset–inventory–prepaid expenses /current liabilities

c) Absolute liquid Ratio= This ratio is also known as super quick

ratio and establishes relationship between absolute liquid
assets

12
 and liquid liabilities. The ideal level of absolute liquid ratio is
0.5:1 .

Absolute liquid ratio= cash and bank balance/current liabilities

d) Cash ratio = the cash ratio is a measures of the liquidity of a

firm, namely the ratio of the total assets and cash equivalents.

Cash ratio= cash and bank balance/ current assets

Solvency Ratio

Solvency ratio - this ratio examines whether the total realizable

amount from all assets of a firm is enough to pay all of its
external liability or not. In this context this ratio shows the
relationship between total assets and external liabilities of the
firm.

Solvency means ability of a firm to pay its liability on due date.

Solvency is tested on the basis of the ability of the concern to
pay its long term liability at due time.
The ratios to be used for this purpose are called as ‘ ratio of
financial position’ or stability ratio. The main ratio of this
category are as follows;

a) Debt equity Ratio- this ratio reflects the long term financial
position of a firm and is calculated in the form of relationship
between external equities or outsider’s funds and internal
equities or shareholders fund. Debt equity ratio may also be
called as ‘ratio long term debt to shareholders funs’.

13
 Debt Equity Ratio= long term debts/ shareholder funds
Or debt/equity

b) Proprietary ratio- This ratio indicates the relationship

between proprietors fund and total assets. Greater is the
proprietor funds better is the position of the creditor.

Proprietary ratio=proprietary funds or

shareholders funds/Total assets

Profitability ratio
- Profitability ratio is used to evaluate the company’s ability togenerate
income as compared to its expenses and other cost associated with
the generation of income during a particular period. This ratio
represents the final result of the company.

The main category of this ratio are :

a) Gross profit ratio- This ratio measures the marginal profit of the
company. This ratio is also used to measure the segment revenue. A
high ratio represents the greater profit margin and it’s good for the
company.

Gross profit ratio = Gross Profit /Sales × 100

Gross Profit= Sales + Closing Stock – opening stock – Purchases –

Direct Expenses

b) Net profit ratio-This ratio measures the overall profitability of company

considering all direct as well as indirect cost. A high ratio represents
a positive return in the company and better the company is.

14
 Net profit ratio = Net Profit / Sales × 100
Net Profit = Gross Profit + Indirect Income – Indirect Expenses

c) Return on equity - This ratio measures Profitability of equity fund

invested the company.
It also measures how profitably owner’s funds have been utilized to
generate company’s revenues. A high ratio represents better the
company is.

Return on equity =Profit after Tax/ Net worth x 100

Where, Net worth = Equity share capital, and Reserve and Surplus

d) Return on capital employed- Return on capital employed (ROCE) is a

financial ratio that can be used in assessing a company's profitability
and capital efficiency. In other words, this ratio can help to understand
how well a company is generating profits from its capital as it is put to
use.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) = net profit before interest and tax /capital employed X 100

e) Operating profit ratio - Operating profit ratio establishes a relationship

between operating Profit earned and net revenue generated from
operations (net sales). operating profit ratio is a type of profitability
ratio which is expressed as a percentage.

Operating profit ratio = operating profit / net sales X 100

 INDUSTRY PROFILE

The India automotive market demand was pegged at 4,266,062 units in 2019. The
market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% from
2020 to 2027. According to statistics published in April 2018 by the European
Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), India is ranked fourth in the top ten
global car-
producing countries. The country’s automotive sector is powered by the rising
population, increasing disposable income, and ease of availability of credit and financing.
Additionally, the market is expected to experience elevated demand for commercial
vehicles from the flourishing logistics and passenger transport sector. Government
initiatives and policies are prominent factors influencing market growth and are expected
to upkeep the growth over the coming years
.
In an attempt to promote market growth, the Ministry of Finance had announced a cut in
the corporate tax rate in 2019. This revision in corporate taxes is anticipated to attract
FDI in the country’s manufacturing sector, which is expected to help the automotive
industry marginally. Furthermore, Government initiatives like Make in India and
Automotive Mission Plan 2026 have boosted the Indian automotive sector. The
Automotive Mission Plan 2026 is a collective vision of India's automotive industry and
the government that aims to make the Indian automotive industry the driving factor of the
Make in India initiative. In February 2019, the Indian government approved a fund
requirement of USD
1.39 Billion for the financial years 2020-22 for the FAME-II scheme.

Apart from growing passenger vehicle demand, Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) are
anticipated to record substantial growth in the next seven years. LCVs' growth prospects
look favorable, owing to a positive outlook of the country's overall logistics industry. As
retail e-commerce has witnessed a boom over the last few quarters, the hub-n-spoke
business model's proliferation is anticipated to favor sales of LCVs. Vendors are
increasingly focusing on untapped regional markets, including rural and semi-urban
areas, in the country to improve sales. Better credit and financing options are expected
to elevate growth opportunities in these markets over the forecast period.

The increasing adoption of technology in vehicles, industry supply chain and business
models is projected to change the automotive market outlook over the forecasted period.
The advent of automated, electrified, and connected vehicles are aiding the market
growth by making driving easier, safer, and comfortable. Growing awareness of
environmental hazards of emissions from ICE vehicles promotes the users to adopt
alternative fuel vehicles. Government focuses on the shift to electric mobility by providing
tax rebates and
17
subsidies for the adoption of electric vehicles. Thus, the electric mobility trend coupled
with the emergence of technologically advanced vehicles is expected to upkeep the
market growth from 2020 to 2027.
The India automotive market has experienced considerable growth in recent years and
achieved record sales in 2018. However, the market experienced a slump in the year
2019 due to its economic slowdown. Although the market was anticipated to revive in
2020, the spread of the novel coronavirus has further delayed the revival. Growing
preferences for Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), rising demand for commercial vehicles in
the logistic sector, and pent-up demand are certain factors expected to drive the market
over the coming years. Additionally, the electrification of vehicles, especially, three-
wheelers, and small passenger cars, is expected to be a major factor influ encing market
growth in the future

A ratio of 1.1 is said to be the ideal quick ratio. To indicate that the company has in its possession
enough assets which may be immediately liquidated to pay off the current liabilities. The table shows
that the highest liquid ratio of Tata steel is 1.08 in the year 2021and 1.07 in the year 2020 and it
is 1.06 for the year2022 that is more than the ideal ratio. Hence the liquid ratio of the company is
satisfactory

ANALYSIS
The high proprietary ratio indicates that a company has a sufficient amount of equity to support the
function of business. The ideal value of the proprietary ratio depends on the risk appetite of the
investors. If the investor agrees to take a large amount of risk, then a lower proprietary ratio is
preferred. It is inferred from the table that the proprietary ratio of Mahindra and Manidra in the year
2020 (0.68) and in the year 2021 (0.58) and in the year 2022 is same as2021 . Hence the proprietary
ratio of the company is satisfactory.

 CHAPTER 8 – CONCLUSION

The study was conducted with the main objective of analyzing the profitability position
of Mahindra and Mahindra ltd over the last three years from 2020 to 2022. It is found
that ratios are calculated from the financial statements’ which are prepared as desired
by the management and policies adopted on depreciation and stock values and thus
produce only a collection of facts expressed in monetary term and cannot produce
complete and authentic picture of the business and also may not highlight other factors
which affects performance.

Profitability ratios shows that the company profits are very fluctuating every year,
sometimes it is relatively high or close to the average or standard ratio or sometimes it
is very low. The company is becoming inefficient in the utilization and application of
resources to get maximum return. So this is the right time to revise their policies to
overcome the decrease in returns. It is better to change the strategies on sales and in
managing cost of the company.
