Several techniques are commonly used as part of financial statement analysis. Three
of the most important techniques include horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and
ratio analysis. Horizontal analysis compares data horizontally, by analyzing values of
line items across two or more years. Vertical analysis looks at the vertical affects line
items have on other parts of the business and also the business’s proportions. Ratio
analysis uses important ratio metrics to calculate statistical relationships.
1
As mentioned, there are three main financial statements that every company creates
and monitors: the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.
Companies use these financial statements to manage the operations of their business
and also to provide reporting transparency to their stakeholders. All three statements
are interconnected and create different views of a company’s activities and
performance.
Financial statements are maintained by companies daily and used internally for
business management. In general both internal and external stakeholders use the
same corporate finance methodologies for maintaining business activities and
evaluating overall financial performance.
The finding of the study can be used to know the operational efficiency of the
business. It is helpful in measuring the solvency of the firm and useful for
comparison of present and past results. It also helps in measuring the profitability,
Inter-firm comparison, bankruptcy and failure detection, and also helps in
forecasting. The study confined to IT sector of Wipro. Findings will useful to the
management to help in their decision making for the benefit of the company.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses
of the firm. It is done by establishing relationships between the items of financial
statements like the balance sheet, profit and loss account, etc. Financial analysis can
be undertaken by management of the firm, viz., Owners, creditors, investors, and so
on. Financial analysis may be done with the help of ratios and undertaking a ratio
analysis.
2.1.1 Definition
5
2.2.1.1 Liquidity Ratios
It measures the ability of the firm to meet its short term obligations, that is the
capacity of the firm to pay its current liabilities as and when they fall due. These
ratios reflect the short term financial solvency of the firm. The failure to meet the
obligations on due time may result in bad credit image and loss of creditors
confidence, on the other hand very high degree of liquidity is also not desirable since
it would imply that funds are idle and earn nothing. So it is necessary to have a
balanced liquidity.
The various ratios that interprets about the liquidity of the firm are:
1. Current Ratio:
The current ratio measure the short term solvency of the firm. It establishes
the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. It is calculated
by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
A current ratio of 2:1 is considered satisfactory. The higher the ratio, the
greater the margin of safety.
2. Quick Ratio:
It has been an important indicator of the firms liquidity position and is used as
a complementary ratio to current ratio. It establishes the relationship between
quick assets and current liabilities. It is calculated by dividing quick assets by
current liabilities.
6
A quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory financial
condition. Quick ratio is a more penetrating test of liquidity than the current
ratio, yet it should be used cautiously.
It means absolute quick assets worth one half of the worth of current liabilities
are sufficient for satisfactory liquid position of a business.
It is a fact that sufficient profits must be earned to sustain the operation of the
business to be able to obtain funds from investors for expansion and growth to
contribute towards the responsibility of welfare of the society in business
environment and globalization. The profitability ratios are calculated to measure the
operating efficiency of the firm.
7
The following are the ratios used for the analysis:
8
4. Rate of Return on Equity:
Rate of return on equity shows what percentage of profit is earned on the
capital invested by ordinary shareholders. It is used to understand the total
profit earned on the shareholders investment.
The relationship between assets and sales is known as assets turnover ratio or activity
ratios. Several activity ratios can be calculated upon depending on the group of
assets, which are related to sales.
9
Inventory turnover ratio = COGS .
Average stock
The solvency or leverage ratios throws light on the long term solvency of a firm
reflecting its ability to assure the long term creditors with regard to periodic payment
of interest during the period and loan repayment of principal on maturity or in
predetermined instalments at due dates. The ratio is based on the relationship
between borrowed funds and owners capital and it is calculated from the balance
sheet and profit/loss account.
1. Debt-Equity Ratio:
It indicates the relationship describing the lenders contribution for each
rupee of the owners contribution is called debt-equity ratio. Debt equity
ratio is directly computed be dividing total debt by net worth. Lower
the debt equity ratio, higher the degree of protection.
3. Debt-Asset Ratio:
The debt ratio measures how much of the firm's asset base is financed
using debt. You calculate this by dividing a company's debt by its
assets. If a firm's debt-to-assets ratio is 0.5, that means, for every 1 unit
of debt, there are 2 units worth of assets.
11
comparative balance sheet and comparative statement of profit and loss. In this study
the focus is on comparative balance sheet.
Comparative balance sheet analysis is the study of the trend of the same items, group
of items and computed items in two or more balance sheets of the same business
enterprise on different dates. Comparative balance sheet of an enterprise as on two or
more dates is used for comparing assets, liabilities and capital and ascertaining
increase and decrease in those items. It is horizontal analysis of balance sheet in
which each item of assets, equity and liabilities is analyzed horizontally for two or
more accounting periods.
Common size statements are a form of analysis and interpretation of the financial
statement. It is also known as vertical analysis. This method analyses financial
statements by taking into consideration each of the line items as a percentage of the
base amount for that particular accounting period. These statements are always
expressed in terms of percentages. There are two types of common size statements
namely common size balance sheet and common size income statement. In this the
focus is on common size balance sheet.
A statement in which balance sheet items are expressed as the ratio of each asset to
total assets and the ratio of each liability is expressed as a ratio of total liabilities is
called common-size balance sheet. The most valuable aspect of a common size
balance sheet is that it supports ease of comparability. Common size balance sheet
shows the makeup of a company’s various assets and liabilities through the
presentation of percentages.

2.3 EMPIRICAL LITERATURE
A few studies in this field of IT industry were found in the course of review of
literature. Contents of the important ones are briefly discussed below:
Somesh Kumar (2007) examined in his study the growth performance and past and
present trend of Indian IT industry. He also discussed about the government policies
and it's effect, with adverse or favourable. He described how IT sector acts as a
catalyst of growth and development.
T.S.Srinivasan (2005) examined in this study the growth rate of revenues as earned
by IT/ITES sector and its growing contribution towards GDP. He made the
comparison of spending on this sector between India and China and also presented
the consequences of trouble with Y2K problems with its effect on this sector that
made great differences in revenues. But still the consistent growth rate can be
observed from this study.
Balaji Parthsarathy (2004) discussed in his study the different phases of the IT
industry starting prior to 1984. He presented the revenues earned by this industry
from international as well as from domestic market, percentage of export revenues
and share of software technology parks in such revenues from pre liberalized period.
Suma. S. Athreye (2003) discussed about the growth of Indian software companies
during different periods and showing the growth of software exports for different
13
times with a detailed study on slow down period. This study also presented the
picture of financial liberalization along with the evolution in Indian software industry
where the evolving strategies of firm lie at the heart of an unfolding dynamic of
sectors growth.
Aarti Shah (2003) discussed Information Technology scenario can be viewed from
different perspective that Indian IT industry as an industry caters to the IT
requirements and its deployment within Indian industry. To make the improvement in
business efficiency new solutions and ideologies are being accepted by helping in
automating business
Neeraj Verma (2007) discussed about the problems of linear growth with its
overcome measures in Indian Software industry. Opening up the Indian market to the
foreign players and the economic reforms of 1990 acted as a catalyst for Indian
Software industry Continues increase in export in export as well as domestic
revenues accompanied with growing number of employees indicates a total
spectacular growth. It also specifies two different models of revenue recognition.
Zaheer Hussain (2008) The impact of IT is not restricted to its passive contribution to
GDP alone. IT acts as a transformational agent in Indian economic development
helps to promote infrastructure like power, road, electricity etc. Growth of domestic
market shows a CAGR of 23% over 05-06. The infrastructures cost tends to going
down with this prosperous growth. But several problems like absence of active
demand, scarcity in proper infrastructure also exists. It also recognizes that a vibrant
and innovative domestic IT market is sine qua non for sustaining the countries IT
industry’s competitive advantage.
14
Rafiq Dossani (2005) discussed in his study the evolution of India’s software
industry and the effect of rigid and hostile government policies concerned this sector
internal as well as international market. He also shows that technologically
sophisticated industry can develop even when many conditions typically present
elsewhere are missing. He also examined the conditions in which transnational entry
was made.
Conclusion: The above mentioned industrial and company reviews do not contain
sufficient information on the performance of Wipro, so, this project is done with the
aim to fulfill the financial analysis of Wipro so that the management use the findings
for decision making for the benefit of the company.

CHAPTER 3
INDUSTRY AND COMPANY
PROFILE
INDUSTRY AND COMPANY PROFILE
Indian IT industry begin in the years of 1970s and contributing to the economic
growth and helping industrial growth it achieved a major breakthrough in 1990s.The
year of 1995-1996 was a smashing year for the Indian IT and computer industry.
With height quality and price performance IT industry led to outsmart all the other
sectors of the country. Industry has grown six-fold in revenue terms, and hence
contributing to GDP by more than 9.3% in FY 2016-2017.In the same year, India
contributed as world’s NO.1 sourcing destination with a significant share of 55%.
The Indian software industry hence being one of the most significant and crucial
industries of Indian economy holds utmost importance and cannot be unseen. This
paper analyses some IT companies of India and enables us to better understand their
performance.

emphasizing on better technology enabled delivery mechanisms for a multitude of
government projects. Further, with the new digital India and start up Indian initiatives
being launched, the domestic market for software services has a bright future ahead.
Abundant supply across segments, mainly lower-end, such as ADM. Lower supply in
higher-end areas like IT/Business Consulting, but competition is very tough.
Competition is global in nature and stretches across boundaries and geographies. It is
expected to intensify due to the attempted replication of the Indian off shoring model
by MNC IT majors as well as small startups.
During the 1970s and 1980s, the company shifted its focus to new opportunities in
the IT and computing industry, which was at a nascent stage in India at the time. On
7 June 1977, the name of the company changed from Western India Vegetable
Products Limited, to Wipro Products Limited. In 1982, the name was changed again,
from Wipro Products Limited to Wipro Limited. Wipro continued to expand in the
consumer products domain with the launch of "Ralak" a Tulsi based family soap and
"Wipro Jasmine", a toilet soap.
As the organisation grew and diversified into operations of Hydraulic Cylinders and
InfoTech, the name of the organisation didn’t adequately reflect its operations. Azim
Premji himself in 1979 selected the name “Wipro” largely an acronym of Western
India Products Ltd. Thus was born the brand Wipro. The name Wipro was unique
and gave the feel of an “international” company. So much so that some dealers even
sent their cheques favouring Wipro (India) Ltd. By the early 90’s, Wipro product
basket had soaps called Wipro Shikakai, Baby products under Wipro baby soft,
Hydraulic cylinders branded Wipro, PC's under the brand name Wipro, a joint
17
venture company with GE named Wipro GE and software services brand named
Wipro. The Wipro logo was a “W”, but it was not consistently used in the products.
It was clearly felt that the organisation was not leveraging its brand across the various
businesses.
Wipro Limited, together with its subsidiaries and associates is a leading India based
provider of IT services and products, including business process outsourcing
services, globally. Further, Wipro has other businesses such as India and Asia IT
services and products and consumer care and lighting. Wipro is headquartered in
Bangalore, India.
Wipro is the world’s first CMM level 5 certified software services company and the
first outside USA to receive IEEE software process award. Wipro is a $3.5 billion
global company in information technology services, R&D services, business process
outsourcing. Team Wipro is 75,000 strong from 40 nationalities and growing. Wipro
is present across 29 countries, 36 development centres, investors across 24 countries.

services, technology infrastructure support services, and research and development
services. The company provides a range of enterprise solutions primarily to
Fortune1000 and global 500 companies. Its services extend from enterprise
application services to e business solutions.
18
Technology Infrastructure Service:
Wipro's R&D services are organised into three areas of focus: telecommunication
and inter-networking, embedded systems and internet access devices, and
telecommunications and service providers. The company provides software and
hardware design, development and implementation services in areas, such as fibre
