Financial statement analysis

 

The financial statement analysis is based on the financial statement data of Anttila Oy in the accounting period as at 31.12.2007. The analysis also utilizes the data of the accounting periods 2003-2006.

 

Industry comparison              

The comparison includes 10 companies in the industry class 52122 (Retail sale in department stores) from the period 2007. The risk of bankruptcy in the line is 0.0 %, and the risk of payment defaults 0.0 %. The risk of payment defaults is clearly lower than average.

 

Volume              

The turnover of Anttila Oy is very large (559 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 (7.2 mill EUR). The change in turnover from the previous period is 3.0 %. In the line, the turnover decreased in the previous period. The company´s turnover has developed in a clearly more positive way than in the line. Due to this, the subject may fast increase its market share, provided that the trend continues in the future. In the latest accounting period, the company employed 2,045 persons on average. The turnover per person is 273 tEUR, which is very good compared with the line (median 168 tEUR). Thus, the productivity of labour is on a very high level.

 

Profitability     

Also the operating result in % (3.5 %) is good, compared with the line (1.5 %). The central ratio for profitability, return on investment, is very good (31.7 %). This is clearly better than the average in the line (median 7.4 %), and indicates really good possibilities for operation. In the long term, the development of profitability has been exceptionally positive.

If, instead of the return on investment, the return on assets is calculated, taking also into account interest-free loans, the return ratio is 14.4 %. The company has a lot of interest-free loans, due to which the return on assets remains on a considerably lower level than the return on investment. Thus, the company has succeeded in acquiring a lot of financing with favourable terms and to raise the return to be calculated for capital at interest. The return on assets is very good, in relation to the line of business (5.4%).

 

 

 

Liquidity             

 

The liquidity is satisfactory, measured by current ratio (1.2), which is considerably lower than the average in the line (median 1.3). The company´s financial buffer is very small. The average age of accounts receivable of the company (24 days) is long compared with the line of business (11 days). The sales receivable are received to cash really slowly, which encumbers the liquidity and may indicate risk-bearing clients.

 

Solvency            

The solvency of Anttila Oy is passable, measured by equity ratio (21.0 %). Median of the equity ratio in the line is 14.9 %. The company´s net gearing is 1.8, which can be considered satisfactory. The relative indebtedness is 22.1%, which is good compared with the median in the line (25.0%). However, in the light of the capital structure indicators, the company´s debt burden is high.

Summary and remarks           

The company has the qualifications to improve its solvency in the future, provided that the profitability remains on the present level.

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