A. LIQUIDITY RATIO
Implication: As a general rule, a current ratio below 1.00 could indicate that a company might struggle to meet its
short term obligations, whereas ratios of above 1.00 might indicate a company is able to pay its current debts as
they come due. In other words, the company WALMART Inc. may have relatively fewer current assets to cover its
short-term obligations, which could indicate a potential liquidity concern.
B. QUICK RATIO
Quick Ratio = (Cash & Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivables) / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = (7,722 + 6,283) / 77,477
Quick Ratio = 14,005 / 77,477
Quick Ratio = 0.18
Quick Ratio = (Cash & Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivables) / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = (9,465 + 6,284) / 77,790
Quick Ratio = 15,749 / 77,790
Quick Ratio = 0.20
Quick Ratio = (Cash & Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivables) / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = (17,741 + 6,516) / 92,645
Quick Ratio = 24,257 / 92,645
Quick Ratio = 0.26
The result of quick ratio for Walmart Inc. is less than 1 covering the period of year 201-2021, it implies that the
company may have challenges meeting its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets alone. Quick assets
typically include cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable but exclude inventory, as inventory may take
longer to convert to cash.
For Walmart, a quick ratio less than 1 might suggest that the company relies more heavily on inventory to meet its
short-term obligations. While a quick ratio below 1 doesn't necessarily indicate financial distress on its own, it
could be a signal for investors and analysts to further investigate the company's liquidity position.
C. CASH RATIO
Implication: The cash ratio for Walmart Inc. is less than 1, it implies that the company's cash and cash equivalents alone are
not sufficient to cover its current liabilities.

A. PROFITABILITY RATIO
Implication: The gross margin for Walmart Inc. for the periods (2018-2021) is 0.25 (or 25%), it means that 25% of its
revenue remains after accounting for the cost of goods sold. A gross margin of 25% suggests that Walmart
retains a quarter of its revenue as gross profit. This can be interpreted as a measure of the company's ability to
generate profit from its core operations. However, whether this is considered high or low depends on industry
standards and the company's business model.
Implication: The operating profit margin for Walmart Inc. is less than 1%, it suggests that the company is earning less than
1 cent in operating profit for every dollar of revenue generated. Some potential implications are:
o Slim Profitability, Potential Economic Challenges
o Cost Management Considerations,
o Competitive Pressures and Investor Concerns
C. NET MARGIN
Implication: If the net margin for Walmart Inc. is less than 1%, it implies that the company is earning less than 1 cent in net
profit for every dollar of revenue generated. It's important to compare Walmart's net margin with industry
benchmarks and analyze trends over time. Additionally, considering other financial metrics, such as operating
margin, return on equity, and return on assets, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the
company's financial performance. Companies with low net margins often focus on operational efficiency, cost
control, and strategic initiatives to improve overall profitability.
Implication: The result of the return on total assets for Walmart Inc. is less than 1%, it implies that the company is
generating less than 1 cent in net income for every dollar of total assets. Generally, there is a room for
improvement.
Implication: The Return on Total Equity (ROE) for a company, such as Walmart Inc., is less than 1%, it implies that the
company is generating less than 1 cent in net income for every dollar of shareholder equity. It's crucial to
compare Walmart's ROE with industry benchmarks and analyze trends over time. Additionally, considering
other financial metrics, such as return on assets, net profit margin, and overall financial health, can provide a
more comprehensive understanding of the company's performance. Companies with low ROE often focus on
strategies to improve profitability, operational efficiency, and the effective use of equity capital.
A. EFFICIENCY RATIO
Implication: It implies that the company is generating a significant amount of sales revenue relative to its average total assets.
While a high ratio is generally positive, it should be considered alongside other financial metrics to provide a
comprehensive analysis of the company's performance and efficiency.
Implication: It implies that the company is selling and replacing its inventory at a rate that exceeds the average value of its inventory
during a specific period. While a high Inventory Turnover Ratio is generally considered positive, it's essential to consider
industry benchmarks and the specific characteristics of the company's business. Extremely high turnover ratios might
be indicative of frequent stock outs or aggressive sales tactics, which could have potential drawbacks. Additionally, a
Republic of the Philippines

Province of Rizal
Implication: It implies that the company is managing its accounts payable effectively. It's important to note that while a higher
Payable Turnover Ratio is generally positive, the specific optimal ratio can vary by industry and business model. It's also crucial to
consider the context of the company's overall financial health and strategy. Extremely high turnover ratios might indicate a potential
risk of strained supplier relationships or insufficient cash reserves. Therefore, a holistic analysis of various financial metrics is
essential for a comprehensive understanding of the company's financial management practices.
Implication: The asset turnover in the given computation is higher than 1.5. This means that the value of the assets used is lower
than the income generated from them, which speaks for high efficiency. The company therefore uses its assets very
efficiently to generate income.
Implication: The asset turnover of Walmart Inc. implies more effective utilization of investments in fixed assets to generate revenue.
Walmart Inc. is generating more revenue relative to its net fixed assets. The Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio measures
how efficiently a company utilizes its net fixed assets to generate sales.
Implication: Since Walmart’s Equity Turnover Ratio is high it implies strong sales or insufficient inventory to support sales at that
rate. The Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio measures how efficiently a company utilizes its net fixed assets to generate
sales. Conversely, a low ratio indicates weak sales, lackluster market demand or an inventory glut.
A. SOLVENCY RATIO
Here are some potential implications of a Debt to Equity Ratio greater than 1.5:
1. High Financial Leverage: A Debt to Equity Ratio exceeding 1.5 indicates a high degree of financial leverage, meaning the
company relies significantly on debt to finance its operations and growth.
2. Increased Financial Risk: Higher debt levels generally come with increased financial risk. The company may face challenges
in meeting debt obligations, especially if it experiences a downturn in business, rising interest rates, or other adverse
economic conditions.
3. Interest Expense Impact: Companies with a high Debt to Equity Ratio often incur substantial interest expenses. These
interest payments can impact profitability and reduce the amount of earnings available for distribution to shareholders.
4. Creditworthiness Concerns: A Debt to Equity Ratio above 1.5 may raise concerns about the company's creditworthiness.
Creditors and investors may view high debt levels as a potential sign of financial instability and increased vulnerability to
economic uncertainties.
5. Limited Financial Flexibility: Companies with significant debt may have limited financial flexibility. They might find it
challenging to undertake new investments, acquisitions, or other strategic initiatives without further increasing their debt
burden.
6. Market Perception: Investors and analysts may view a high Debt to Equity Ratio as a signal of financial risk. This perception
can affect the company's stock price and attractiveness to investors, especially those who prioritize lower-risk investments.
7. Potential Impact on Cost of Capital: A high Debt to Equity Ratio can influence the company's cost of capital. Lenders may
demand higher interest rates due to the perceived risk, potentially increasing the overall cost of financing.
B. DEBT RATIO
Implication: It implies that the company has a lower proportion of debt in its capital structure compared to its total assets. The Debt
Ratio is a financial metric that measures the proportion of a company's assets that are financed by debt. While a low
Debt Ratio is generally considered positive, it's crucial to assess it in the context of the industry, business model, and
Republic of the Philippines

Implication: Walmart’s has a higher interest coverage ratio indicates stronger financial health – the company is more capable of
meeting interest obligations. However, a high ratio may also indicate that a company is overlooking opportunities to
magnify their earnings through leverage.
