Singapore ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in consumer electronics, information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and on a growing financial services sector. Real GDP growth averaged 8.6% between 2004 and 2007. The economy contracted 0.8% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but rebounded 14.8% in 2010, on the strength of renewed exports, before slowing to 5.2% in 2011 and 1.3% in 2012, largely a result of soft demand for exports during the second European recession. Over the longer term, the government hopes to establish a new growth path that focuses on raising productivity, which has sunk to an average of about 1.0% in the last decade. Singapore has attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology production and will continue efforts to establish Singapore as Southeast Asia's financial and high-tech hub.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY

 

Compound Annual Growth Rate

 

The company's CAGR is 1.3% (5 years).

 

CAGR is the year-over-year growth rate of a company over a specified period. Instead of looking at the average growth rate, CAGR allow users to look at the annualized growth rate of a company over a given period, a more indicative measure of growth of a company’s performance over a given period.

 

 

Profitability

The group yielded a rate of net profit on sales of 0.49 per cent in FY12. The group is now able to book in SGD - SIN 0.00 of profit for every SGD - SIN of sales.

 

 

Liquidity

 

Current ratio stood at 1.33 times in FY12. This means that the group has SGD - SIN 1.33 of current assets for every SGD - SIN of current liability incurred.

 

A minimum figure of 1.0 would be considered the lowest limit that this figure should reach. Any business that has a current ratio near 1.0 may be heading for liquidity problems, and would need to be closely monitored. A figure greater than 2.0 would be more desirable, to act as a buffer against any short-term liquidity problems, and give creditors/bank managers a degree of comfort when granting credit/finance.

 

 

Leverage

Total debt-to-equity ratio notched 2.25 times in FY12. This means that the group requires additional external financing of SGD - SIN 2.25 for every SGD - SIN injected into its operations.

 

Generally, a total debt-to-equity ratio of less than 0.5 times is preferred. The ratio measures the proportion of the company's reliance on external debt for financing, relative to the shareholder's fund. A lower ratio would imply a greater financial safety and operating freedom for the company.

 

 


Efficiency Ratio

 

Return on equity was 7.37 per cent for Subject in the current financial period. The return on equity measures the return earned on the owner's investment.  Generally, the higher this return, the better off the owner.

 

Return on assets stood at 2.27 per cent. The return on asset measures the overall effectiveness of management in generating profit with its available assets.

 

Total assets turnover ratio logged at 4.60 times in FY12. This ratio measures the group's ability to make productive use of its total assets to generate sales which reflects the efficiency of the management in utilising its resources.
