Financial statement analysis

 

 The financial statement analysis is based on the financial statement data of Outokumpu Stainless Oy in the accounting period as at 31.12.2005. The analysis also utilizes the data of the accounting periods 2001-2004.

Industry comparison   

The comparison includes 17 companies in the industry class 27100 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys. The risk of bankruptcy in the line is 2.6 %, and the risk of payment defaults 2.6 %. The risk of payment defaults is clearly lower than average.

Volume   

The turnover of Outokumpu Stainless Oy is very large (2,274 mill EUR) in relation to all active companies. This may reduce the company´s liability to risk, as the company has a considerable amount of resources related with large size. In its line, the company is clearly larger than average (2.0 mill EUR). The change in turnover from the previous period is 5.3 %. In the latest accounting period, the company employed 2,280 persons on average. The turnover per person is 998 tEUR, which is very good compared with the line (median 253 tEUR). Thus, the productivity of labour is on a very high level. The long-term development of the ratio has been very positive.

Profitability   

The operating result in % (-2.1 %) is poor, compared with the line (9.2 %), which refers to a dangerously low contribution margin. The contribution margin plummeted completely in the previous accounting period. The central ratio for profitability, return on investment, is poor (-2.7 %). This is clearly lower than the average in the line (median 20.0 %). The profitability decreased substantially in the previous accounting period. The development of the company´s profitability has been very risky in every way.

If, instead of the return on investment, the return on assets is calculated, taking also into account interest-free loans, the return ratio is -2.4 %. The return is poor, in relation to the line of business (16.3%).

Liquidity   

The liquidity is passable, measured by quick ratio (0.4), which is considerably lower than the average in the line (median 1.5). The company´s financial buffer is very small. The sales receivable turnover of the company is average (37 days) compared with the line (38 days).

Solvency   

The solvency of Outokumpu Stainless Oy is satisfactory, measured by equity ratio (30.2 %). The company´s equity ratio is clearly lower than the median in the line (62.7%). The development of solvency has weakened in the long term. The company´s net gearing is 2.0, which can be considered satisfactory. The relative indebtedness is 60.2%, which is satisfactory compared with the median in the line (38.8%).

Summary and remarks   

Because of its solvency, the company has the qualifications to also bring the profitability to at least a satisfactory level in order to secure the preconditions for activities in the long term.

The verbal interpretation of the financial statements analysis has been produced programmatically from unadjusted financial statements.
