Interpretation
Profitability Ratios
The increase in profit after tax by 27% compared to prior year is mainly attributable to volume
growth, new product launches, effective cost controls and reduced taxation charge in current year.
Gross Profit ratio improved to 39% from 38% last year despite inflationary pressures owing to
improved product mix. Net Profit to sales ratio improved to 17% from 14% last year mainly on
account of improved gross margins, effective cost controls and reduced prior year taxation charge
in current year.
Liquidity Ratios
The increase in cashflows from operating activities is mainly derived from improved profitability
and better working capital management which accordingly resulted in increase in cash and cash
equivalents by Rs 1,939 million as compared to last year. Increase in cash & cash equivalents has
resulted in increase in liquidity ratios such as quick / acid test ratio (2015: 2.81, 2014: 2.76) and
cash to current liabilities (2015: 2.51, 2014: 2.39).
Activity / Turnover Ratios
Operating cycle has declined overall from 44.17 days in 2014 to 30.96 days in 2015 due to better
inventory management which has resulted in reduced number of days in inventory.
Total assets turnover ratio declined from 1.58 in 2014 to 1.40 in 2015 due to increase in cash &
cash equivalents as explained above.
Fixed assets turnover ratio declined from 5.96 in 2014 to 5.70 in 2015 due to increase in capital
expenditure from Rs. 661 million in 2014 to Rs. 1,174 million in 2015.
Investment / Market Ratios
Earnings per share increased from Rs 28.77 in 2014 to Rs 36.64 in 2015 as a result of the increase
in profit after tax by 27% compared to prior year as mentioned above.
P/E ratio declined from 24.70 in 2014 to 17.33 in 2015, mainly due to decline in market price per
share from Rs 710.68 in 2014 to Rs 635.00 in 2015.
Dividend yield ratio increased from 1.1% in 2014 to 4.7% in 2015 and Dividend pay-out ratio
increased from 0.27 (times) in 2014 to 0.82 (times) in 2015, on account of increased dividend
payout in the current year from Rs 7.8 to Rs 30.00 per share.
Break-up value per share has increased from Rs 111.05 in 2014 to Rs 132.27 in 2015 due to
increase in total equity this year by Rs 2,078 million as compared to prior year.
Market capitalization has declined from Rs 69,576 million in 2014 to Rs 62,167 million in 2015
due to decline in market price per share from Rs 710.68 in 2014 to Rs 635.00 in 2015.
Capital Structure Ratios
There is no short-term or long-term debt as at balance sheet date, therefore capital structure ratios
like financial leverage ratio, weighted average cost of debt and debt to equity ratio are not relevant.
