E.ON SE - Company Statement
A statement by Mr. Johannes Teyssen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of E.ON SE. is given below. The following
statement has been taken from 2016 annual report.

At the 2016 Annual Shareholders Meeting, an overwhelming majority of you 99.7 percentapproved our plan to reinvent E.ON.
You gave my Management Board colleagues and me a clear task: to do everything we can to make E.ON fit for the future and,
above all, to rethink E.ON from our customers perspective. Their choices regarding our products, services, and solutions will
determine how successful E.ON will be in the new energy world. Thats why we want to meet the needs of our customerspeople,
companies, and communitieswith superior, simple, and convenient energy products and solutions. E.ONs aspiration is to
provide customers with the best that the new energy world has to offer.

One indication of E.ONs great potential is the recent uptick in our stock price. Uniper stock has also done well and, in fact, was
Europes best-performing utility stock of 2016. In dividing E.ON into the new E.ON and Uniper we paid particular attention to
safeguarding your interests. If you kept both stocks, at the end of February 2017 they were worth more together than E.ON stock
was by itself before the spinoff. And from E.ONs perspective, our core businesses are no longer burdened by the risks of the old
energy world, such as the uncertainties of commodity markets. The spinoff relieved your company and its balance sheet of most of
the burdens of the past. For example, we recorded impairment charges on power plants and businesses that the altered business
environment had rendered less valuable and got them off our balance sheet entirely when Uniper was deconsolidated. As we
repeatedly emphasized, 2016 truly was a year of transition.

In 2016 broad agreement with Germanys political leadership was reached on the phaseout of nuclear energy. Germany enacted a
law that reassigns the future responsibilities for, and arranges the funding of, the intermediate and final storage of the countrys
nuclear waste. Negotiations are currently under way for a contractual agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany regarding
these matters. The law will require your company to make a considerable financial contribution in the near future: in mid-2017 well
have to transfer just under EUR10 billion to a public fund. Although we created provisions for a large portionjust under EUR8
billionof these obligations, the risk surcharge imposed by the law has obviously had an adverse impact on our balance sheet. In
return, however, your company will be relieved of these essentially perpetual risks.

The Uniper spinoff and the funding of nuclear-waste storage left deep marks on our balance sheet. We informed you of these
matters early and transparently. In 2016 these burdens of the past affected our income statement for the last time, leading to a net
loss of EUR16 billion. However, the entire amount of this net loss is attributable to discontinued operations and nuclear energy.
With the exception of the risk surcharge, the loss is not cash-effective. Moreover, portions of the loss bear no risk for our equity
either.

But more important than looking back is looking ahead: the new E.ON is already solid from an operating perspective. In 2016 we
posted adjusted EBIT of EUR3.1 billion and adjusted net income of around EUR900 million. Our 2016 earnings were therefore at
the upper end of our forecast range. Adjusted for disposals, the E.ON Groups earnings strength actually improved relative to the
prior year. Sixty-five percent of our adjusted EBIT comes from regulated, quasi-regulated, and long-term contracted businesses.
Our three core businessesenergy networks, customer solutions, and renewablesdeliver stable earnings. In 2016 we generated
adjusted EBIT of EUR2.5 billion. In short, we have a good foundation on which to continue our companys transformation. Im
firmly convinced that much of our success will depend on our adaptability. For us, 2017 will be a year of transformation. We set
five clear objectives:

(1) Well strengthen our balance sheet and make the company financially sustainable. This is the key prerequisite for us to grow in
the future. Although our markets offer many opportunities, our financial resources are limited. Our top priority is therefore to
continue to develop our operating business while systematically prioritizing our investment expenditures (well only pursue the best
projects) and achieving our budget targets. Over the medium and long term, these steps will enable us to establish a sustainable
financial foundation from which to invest in your companys future.

(2) Were putting our customers first. Our new brand ideaLets create a better tomorrowmakes a clear commitment. In
everything we do we need to ask how it benefits our customers, what they want, and what will make their lives better. The answers
weve come up with include roof-top solar panels together with a battery storage system and, in conjunction with Sixt Leasing, a
complete e-mobility package consisting of an electric car, a charging point, maintenance service, and a green power product.

(3) The latest generation of energy products is digitally integrated. Thats precisely our strategy. We intend to be a pacesetter in
the digitalization of the energy business. Increasingly, digitalization will be a defining feature of the solutions we offer our
customers. We already have a successful smartphone app that enables customers to manage their energy consumption and all
their communications with us. Other exciting products are on the way, this year and beyond. New solutions in our network

GCI_University_Of_Warwick_14092017125446
business such as the efficient systems we developed for the Werksviertel, a former industrial district near Munichs East train
stationalways involve digital networking.

(4) Im convinced that the new E.ON is active in the right markets. The energy future is green, distributed, and digital. But this
market is more fragmented than the conventional energy world. We face different competitors who are swift and agile. Thats why
we need to make E.ON more entrepreneurial and ensure that our offerings are better, more innovative, and faster-to-market than
all the others. When old business models become obsolete, we need to find new ones. To help us achieve all this, we intend to
reduce our bureaucracy this year, to make our organizational setup more customer-centric, and to become leaner, more
decentralized, and more agile.

(5) Management and cultural adaptation are particularly important tasks in this era of continual change. E.ON has a very
knowledgeable and dedicated team of employees who work hard each day to transform our company. We want to inspire them.
Because their efforts will make a key contribution to our success on the road ahead. We also want to further improve how we work
together and cultivate a work environment based on openness, diversity, performance, and mutual respect and support. In short,
we want to create a corporate culture that will make E.ON faster, more customer oriented, and more successful.

All of us are prepared to do our part. E.ON has great potential to become a leading company of the new energy worldthe
company of choice for customers and investors. Its within our power to seize this great opportunity and thus to actively shape the
future of E.ON and the far-reaching changes in our market.

E.ON SE - SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis - Overview


E.ON SE (E.ON) operates in the power and gas business, ranging from power generation and gas production to distribution and
sales to customers. Business performance of energy networks, vertically-integrated and diverse business model and research and
development are its major strengths, even as business performance of customer solutions is an area of concern. E.ON could
benefit from its partnerships and agreements and growth prospects for wind energy in Europe. However, nuclear decommissioning
in Germany and intense competition could pose challenges to the company.

E.ON SE - Strengths

Business Model: Integrated and Diversified


An integrated business model and diversity in generation and territory enables it to operate efficiently and capitalize on the
emerging opportunities. E.ON has a presence in the energy value chain, which enables it to cater to a substantial customer base
and achieve cost advantages. The companys business operations range from the production of oil and gas through conversion
into electricity, transmission, distribution, trading, and supply of energy to customers. Its integrated power and gas business model
enables it to exploit opportunities stemming from looming capacity shortages and converging European power and gas markets.
The company focuses on creating value by expanding its asset base in electricity and gas in Europe, while continuing to reduce
carbon exposure and invest in renewable energy. The companys diverse business lines include production, distribution, trading
and retailing of power and gas. It uses a diverse generation mix including nuclear, hard coal, biomethane, oil/gas, wind, solar PV
and other sources.

Focus on Research and Development Activities


The company focuses on R&D for the development of new projects for the E.ON Innovation Centers. E.ON works in partnership
with universities and research institutes to conduct research in a variety of areas. The flagship partnership of the company is with
the E.ON Energy Research Center at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. In FY2016, the company invested EUR14 million on
its research and development operations. In customer solutions the company focuses on developing on-line tools to engage with
its residential customers and small and medium sized businesses. It aims to implement smart home systems that meet the
customers needs on cost, comfort and convenience, and provide them with efficient and renewable heat and power solutions.
With commercial customers it focuses on growing through new energy management systems and through heat, power and cooling
solutions which use energy generated on-site. In Energy Intelligence the company focuses on increasing efficiency at E.ON sites
by analyzing data gathered from assets and using it to predict and improve performance and maintenance. In Smart grid, the aims
to minimize the cost and complexity of E.ONs roll-out of smart meters. New technologies are being developed that will make real
savings on operating costs and optimize investments for electricity, gas and heat networks.

Business Performance: Energy Network


E.ONs energy network segment is the second largest contributor to its revenue stream. In FY2016, the segment accounted for
35% of the total companys revenue and increased 7.8% year-on-year. For the FY2016, the segment reported revenue of
EUR13,334 million, as compared to EUR12,373 million in FY2015. The company reported an increase in sales in Germany by
7.3% to EUR13,205 million in FY2016 as compared to EUR12,312 million in FY2015, primarily because of higher sales in
conjunction with the REL. The rise is mainly attributable to increase in installed generating capacity and in the amount of electricity
fed into the companys distribution networks. The sales also increased owing to higher gas passthrough.

E.ON SE - Weaknesses

Business Performance: Customer Solutions


The companys energy network segment is the largest contributor to its revenue stream. In FY2016, the segment accounted for
57.5% of the total companys revenue and decreased 12.6% year-on-year. For the FY2016, the segment reported revenue of
EUR21,948 million, as compared to EUR25,102 million in FY2015. The segment reported a decline in power sales by 2.6% and
gas sales by 14%. This segment had around 21.4 million customers as of December 31, 2016, compared to 22.7 million in the
previous year. The power sales in Germany to residential and small and medium enterprise customers were lower due to a
reduction in average consumption and to keen competition. The power sales to industrial and commercial customers and to sales
partners declined, primarily because of the transfer of E.ON Energie Deutschlands wholesale customers to Uniper Energy Sales
at the end of 2015. The power sales in the UK decreased due to declining customer numbers and customers energy-saving
behavior. The segment also reported a decline in gas sales by 5.8% due to lower customer numbers.

E.ON SE - Opportunities

Growth Prospects for Renewable Energy: Wind


The increasing necessity to secure energy supply, energy independence and minimization of carbon footprint is leading to growth
in demand for renewable sources of energy such as wind. According to European Wind Energy Association's (EWEA) latest

GCI_University_Of_Warwick_14092017125446
findings, European Union (EU) countries are expected to install 75 GW of wind energy by 2020, reflecting an increase of 64% in
installed wind power capacity, bringing the total to 192.4 GW by 2020 with offshore installations amounting to 23.5 GW. EWEA
expects total investments of up to EUR124 billion in wind energy by 2020 with Germany, France, the UK, Poland and Italy being
the leading markets. Regulatory stability is not fully achieved throughout Europe; however, in major onshore markets such as
Germany, France, the UK and Poland, policy reforms have been finalized rapidly and the new regulatory frameworks are
conducive to growth in wind power installations. Increasing confidence in the UK, faster deployment in France and the Netherlands
will help push offshore installations in the EU to 23.5 GW. EWEA estimates production of 442 TWh of wind power, which could be
sufficient to meet 14.9% of electricity consumption in 2020.

Partnerships and Agreements


As part of its business strategy, the company establishes collaborations and agreements with other companies to enhance its
business portfolio and bring non-dilutive capital into the company. In March 2017, E.ON entered into a partnership with Dow
Benelux to build, own and operate a large gas-fired boiler plant for their largest production site in Europe. The new boiler plant will
be able to generate up to 350 tons of steam per hour for the production processes on the Terneuzen site and will be taken into
operation by the end of 2019. In the same month the company entered into a partnership with CLEVER to roll out ultra-fast
charging stations for electric vehicles along the main European motorway corridors. This partnership will bring ultra-fast chargers
to initially 20 YX service stations across Norway. The ultra-fast chargers will be installed from 2018 to 2020. In February 2016, the
company entered into a partnership with Dresden-based SOLARWATT GmbH. Under the terms of partnership, the company will
develop its own electricity storage system. Through the new electricity storage system, the company will become a leading
provider of electricity storage systems in Germany and continually expand its intelligent solutions for its customers.

Business Initiatives
Business initiatives would help the company to expand its presence and improve financial performance. In line with this, in March
2017, E.ON has launched pilot projects for the rollout of smart meters. After the completion of the rollout in 2027, around 20% of all
electricity customers in Germany are expected to have these intelligent metering systems. In February 2016, the companys
offshore wind farm Amrumbank West was officially put into operation. The Amrumbank West is another lighthouse project for wind
power at sea. The project will be followed by offshore wind projects to make sure the energy industry and industrial policy potential
of offshore wind is not left untapped.

E.ON SE - Threats

Safety Concerns: Nuclear Decommissioning


The safety concerns regarding nuclear power plants have led many countries to switch from nuclear energy to other sources of
energy, which resulted in the need to decommission nuclear plants. Nuclear accidents such as those at the Chernobyl nuclear
power plant and Three Mile Island generating station led to anti-nuclear sentiments globally. In the recent past, Germany imposed
a three-month moratorium on the extension of operations of existing nuclear power plants in the country, after which it shut down
seven of the countrys oldest nuclear reactors. Later, the government decided to conduct safety assessments to ensure the safety
of nuclear power plants. However, the German government eventually decided to completely phase out nuclear energy from
energy generation in the country. Germanys nuclear power plants are now likely to be shut down by 2022 at the latest.
Decommissioning of nuclear reactors due to safety concerns globally will compel E.ON to look at alternative sources for
generation.

Competition
E.ON operates in a highly competitive power industry. Failure to sustain competitive advantage in such a highly competitive
industry will affect the companys market share. It encounters competition from independent power producers (IPPs), trading
companies, retail electric providers, cooperatives and regulated utilities to supply electricity and electricity related products. In the
power production markets, the companys competitors may have extensive and diversified developmental or operating experience
and greater financial resources. In recent years, competition is increasing in the electricity industry in obtaining power sales
agreements and acquiring existing power generation assets. In certain markets, these factors led to reduced electricity prices, and
caused higher acquisition prices for existing assets. The competitive electricity markets and highly efficient gas-fired power plants
also led to price pressures in certain power markets. This is likely to exert pressure on the companys pricing policy. As alternative
energy is becoming an increasingly lucrative option, a significant number of players are entering the market, which increased
competition among power producers.

Reliability Concern: Gas Supplies


The company procures natural gas from Russia, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. It is active at various gas trading
markets in Europe. However, it faces the risk of supply interruptions from gas procurement sources, which could be due to
technical problems at production facilities or the transmission system that may affect gas transmission. Moreover, some of the
recent events in Eastern Europe heightened concerns in parts of Western Europe about the reliability of Russian gas supplies. The
companys reliance on a few markets increases uncertainty as non-reliability of gas supplies could increase its business risks.

Sep 07, 2017: LOC Renewables signs MOU to boost Taiwanese offshore wind
LOC Renewables together with four other parties, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining their intention to work
together to further offshore wind farm development and construction in Taiwan.
Together with the CR Classification Society, Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, Taiwan Electric Research & Testing Center
and Electronics Testing Center, LOC will look to enhance the quality, safety and reliability of offshore wind farm construction in the
South China Sea region.

With offices throughout the region in Seoul, Singapore and Vung Tau, Vietnam, LOC s team of offshore renewable engineering
consultants are ideally placed to support our Taiwanese colleagues as they look to expand the country s offshore wind capacity
and attract developers," said RV Ahilan, Group Director of Renewables Advisory & Energy Technology at LOC Renewables.

LOC has long been involved in offshore wind energy in Asia, having acted as technical consultant on the Bac Lieu wind farm in
Vietnam when the first phase began construction back in 2011. We re looking forward to bringing this experience, and the vast
knowledge we have built up in European offshore wind energy, to the fledgling Taiwanese market - helping it to fulfil its potential,"
he added.

Hard on the heels of having marine warranted the Tamra project in Korea, LOC Korea is currently providing marine warranty
surveying services on the country s 60MW Southwest Offshore wind farm, demonstrating successful knowledge transfer from the
European offshore wind industry to the growing Asian offshore wind industry.

Under the terms of the MOU, the five parties will co-operate and share expertise in a number of areas, most notably construction,
research into suitable technologies and marine warranty surveying. In addition, the co-signers will host a technical seminar on
these topics.

As the Taiwanese offshore wind industry develops, LOC Renewables will assist in the evaluation and review of offshore wind
projects, from conception and planning through to operations and maintenance.

Dr Liou Ming-Jong, Director General of the Bureau of Standards, Metrology & Inspection at Taiwan s Ministry of Economic Affairs,
and who witnessed the Memorandum, said: Cooperation with LOC in marine warranty survey (MWS) will play an important role
for insurers underwriting for the Taiwanese offshore wind farm construction. We plan to have our third party certification team
work with LOC to carry out MWS for Taiwanese offshore wind farms, and further promote these investment opportunities to the
whole industry."

Following yesterday s signing of the MOU, and in addition to hosting a delegation consisting of representatives from each of the
other co-signing bodies, LOC Renewables took its guests to a briefing, hosted by E.ON as construction service provider to the
Rampion Offshore Wind project currently being built off the UK south coast by E.ON, the Green Investment Bank Ltd and
Enbridge.

Aug 31, 2017: E.ON uses smart meters for the first time to control customer systems
E.ON is one of the first companies in Germany to control photovoltaic (PV) systems using intelligent metering systems, commonly
known as smart meters. An additional unit, a so-called control box, prevents grid congestion by flexibly controlling power
generation by the solar panels.
The PV systems are connected to the grid operated by Bayernwerk, one of E.ON s regional distribution subsidiaries. Flexible
output control makes E.ON a pioneer in implementing the technical requirements of the VDE Network Technology Forum (FNN),
and in the use of control boxes as part of a fully functional test system. FNN is the organization developing technical standards in
this field.

Control boxes and smart meters cannot only be used to reduce and increase the power output of PV modules from a remote
location. The devices also provide information about the technical condition of the solar panels as well as other measured values.
The data as well as encrypted control signals are transmitted via a communication gateway inside the smart meter. This ensures
compliance with the maximum security standards defined by the Federal Office for Information Security.

What sounds pretty simple is an important milestone on the path towards the digital, smart electricity grid," says Paul-Vincent
Abs, who is responsible at E.ON for smart meters. The control box/smart meter combination allows both the generation and
consumption of renewable energy to be optimized."

The work done by E.ON in this field is sponsored by the Ministry of Economics as part of the "Smart Energy Showcase - Digital
Agenda for the Energy Transition" (SINTEG) program. The aim of this initiative is to develop and demonstrate model energy
supply solutions for the future in so-called showcase regions.

Aug 28, 2017: E.ON begins construction on 385MW Arkona offshore wind project in Germany
Construction work on the 385MW Arkona offshore wind project owned by E.ON and Statoil has commenced in the German Baltic
Sea.
E.ON, which is responsiblefor the construction and operation of the offshore wind farm, said that the first foundations of the
1.2bn offshore wind project have been laid successfully in the seabed. Towards the end of last month, the common substation
with grid operator 50Hz was installed.

E.ON plans to have 60 monopiles installed for the Arkona wind park prior to the mounting of the transition pieces, towers and
turbines on them. Weighing up to 1,200 tons, the steel tubes have a 7-8m diameter.

As per the German energy firm, the initial construction phase of the offshore wind project will have 400 people engaged with the
number expected to reach 600 during the peak period.

Located 35km northeast of Rgen island, the Arkona offshore wind project will feature 60 turbines from Siemens, each of 6MW
capacity in the SWT-6.0-154 range. The wind turbines are planned to be installed by Siemens in summer 2018.

The Mukran Port in Sassnitz will serve as the base port of the offshore wind project and also host its operations once
commissioned.

VBMS in April had bagged the contract from E.ON to install 65 inter array cables for the Arkona wind project with the cabling work
set to begin next year.

The Arkona offshore wind farm is slated to be commissioned in 2019 and the supply from itwill meet the power consumption
needs of up to 400,000 households.

Apart from that, the Arkona wind project will help in offsetting 1.2 million tons of carbon emissions every year.

Aug 25, 2017: E.ON starts construction on 385MW Arkona offshore wind farm
E.ON has announced the start of construction work at the 385MW Arkona offshore wind farm off the coast of German Baltic Sea.

GCI_University_Of_Warwick_14092017125446
The Arkona offshore wind farm is a joint venture between E.ON and the Norwegian energy company Statoil. The wind farm is
estimated to be build with a cost of1.2bn.

Itwill be located about 35km from the coast near the island of Rgen. It will include 60 of Siemens SWT6.0-154 turbines.

Each of these turbines will generate 6MW of energy and will have a rotor diameter of 154m. The turbines will be installed on
grounded monopile structures.

As per E.ON, the first foundations at the site have already been laid in the seabed, marking the start of the construction of the
wind farm.The next stage of the construction involves installation of60monopiles, on whichthe transition pieces, towers and
turbines will be mounted later.

The company said that there are about 400 people working on the project during the beginning of the construction phase. The
project is expected to provide jobs for 600 people during its busiest period.

Theoffshore wind farm, which is expected to become operational in 2019, will produce enough energy to be supplied to 400,000
German households. The wind farm will also help inoffsetting 1.2 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

E.ON says that majority of the power generated from the project will be delivered to the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Last year,E.ON awarded VBMS a contract to install 65 inter array cables for the Arkona wind farm.The contract's scope includes
route engineering, surveying, a pre-lay grapnel run, trenching, termination and testing of the 65 cables.

Aug 24, 2017: Construction begins for the Arkona offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea: E.ON
Construction work on the Arkona wind project in the German Baltic Sea has begun. E.ON reports that the first foundations have
been successfully laid in the seabed. A total of 60 so-called monopiles will be installed for the Arkona wind park before the
transition pieces, towers and turbines are mounted on them. The foundation for the common substation with grid operator 50Hertz
was installed end of July.
The steel tubes have a diameter of between seven and nearly eight metres and weigh up to 1,200 tons. Since production started
in September 2016, the manufacturer EEW Special Pipe Constructions in Rostock has processed about 53,000 tons of steel for
the Arkona project.

In terms of transport to the construction site, the monopiles are sealed at both ends, launched and floated to the construction site.
There, the heavy-load crane ship Svanen will hammer the monopiles (which have a maximum length of 81 metres) 40 metres
deep into the seabed - at water depths ranging from 23 to 37 metres. A modern sound-proofing system ensures that the noise
from this work is minimised for marine fauna.

400 people are working on the Arkona project at the beginning of the construction phase. The project will employ up to 600 people
during its busiest period. A large part of the value from the project will be generated for the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The base port for the project and its subsequent operation is the Mukran Port in Sassnitz on the island Rugen.

E.ON is also introducing innovation in the form of steel foundations for environmental protection in offshore wind parks. Together
with partner companies, E.ON has developed a new technology for anti-corrosion protection and is the first offshore company to
use this. A new coating process significantly reduces the impact to the sea during the operation period, as compared to
conventional processes.

The Arkona project is located 35 kilometres northeast of the island of Rgen. The wind farm will have a capacity of 385 megawatts
(MW) and will be able to supply up to 400,000 households with renewable energy from 2019 onwards. Compared to
conventionally produced electricity, Arkona will save up to 1.2 million tons of CO2 annually. The project will see the installation of
60 Siemens six-megawatt turbines. Arkona is a joint venture between E.ON and the Norwegian energy company Statoil.

Aug 21, 2017: CWind to install fibre optic cable at 400MW Rampion offshore wind farm
CWind, the subsidiary of Global Marine Group (GMG) has secured a contract for installing fibre optic cable at the 400MW Rampion
offshore wind farm, being built off the coast of Sussex, UK.
The contract has been awarded by German electric utility company E.ON.

The installation of the fibre optic cablewill help in establishing a vital communications link for the wind farm and the work is
expected to be completed by the end of this month.

CWind's installation will centre ona 96-fibre armoured cable supplied from Hexatronic. To ensure appropriate cable protection in
the hard chalk seabed, it will be installed bythe CS Recorder using the proven Hi-Plough.

The Rampion offshore wind farm is expected to generate enough electricity to satisfy the power needs of about 347,000 UK
households or about half of the homes in Sussex region.

The wind farm will feature 116 turbines to be supplied by Vestas. Each of the turbines will generate about 3.45MW of electricity.
GCI_University_Of_Warwick_14092017125446
Located 17km from Sussex coast, the wind farm is spread across in an area of 79km2.

Global Marine Group s subsidiary CWind managing director Lee Andrews said It is a pleasure for CWind to continue working with
Rampion. We are well placed to support the project, with a comprehensive track record of successful cable installations.

Ratio Definitions
Capital Market Ratios
Capital Market Ratios measure investor response to owning a companys stock and also the cost of issuing stock.
Price/Earnings Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual income
Ratio (P/E) earned per share. It is a financial ratio used for valuation: a higher P/E ratio means that investors
are paying more for each unit of income, so the stock is more expensive compared to one with
lower P/E ratio. A high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the
future compared to companies with a lower P/E. Price per share is as of previous business close,
and EPS is from latest annual report.

Calculation: Price per Share / Earnings per Share

Enterprise Enterprise Value/EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) is a valuation multiple that is often used in parallel with,
Value/Earnings or as an alternative to, the P/E ratio. The main advantage of EV/EBITDA over the PE ratio is that
before Interest, Tax, it is unaffected by a companys capital structure. It compares the value of a business, free of debt,
Depreciation and to earnings before interest. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares
Amortization outstanding last reported. Other items are from latest annual report.
(EV/EBITDA)
Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash and Cash Equivalents) / (Net Income
+ Interest + Tax + Depreciation + Amortization)

Enterprise Enterprise Value/Sales (EV/Sales) is a ratio that provides an idea of how much it costs to buy the
Value/Sales companys sales. EV/Sales is seen as more accurate than Price/Sales because market
capitalization does not take into account the amount of debt a company has, which needs to be
paid back at some point. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares
outstanding last reported. Other items are from latest annual report.

Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash and Cash Equivalents) / Sales

Enterprise Enterprise Value/Operating Profit measures the companys enterprise value to the operating
Value/Operating profit. Price per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding last reported.
Profit Other items are from latest annual report.

Calculation: (Market Cap + Debt + Preferred Stock - Cash and Cash Equivalents) / Operating
Income

Enterprise Enterprise Value/Total Assets measures the companys enterprise value to the total assets. Price
Value/Total Assets per share is as of previous business close, and shares outstanding last reported. Other items are
from latest annual report.

Calculation: Net Income / Weighted Average Shares

Dividend per Share Dividend is the distribution of a portion of a companys earnings, decided by the board of
directors, to a class of its shareholders.
Dividend Cover Dividend cover is the ratio of companys earnings (net income) over the dividend paid to
shareholders.

Calculation: Earnings per share / Dividend per share

Book Value per Book Value per Share measure used by owners of common shares in a firm to determine the
Share level of safety associated with each individual share after all debts are paid accordingly.

Calculation: (Shareholders Equity - Preferred Equity) / Outstanding Shares

Cash Value per Cash Value per Share is a measure of a companys cash (cash and equivalents on the balance
Share sheet) that is determined by dividing cash and equivalents by the total shares outstanding.

Calculation: Cash and equivalents / Outstanding Shares

Profitability Ratios
Profitability Ratios are used to assess a companys ability to generate earnings, based on revenues generated or resources
used. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitors ratio or the same ratio from a previous
period is indicative that the company is doing well.
Gross Margin Gross margin is the amount of contribution to the business enterprise, after paying for direct-fixed
and direct-variable unit costs.

Calculation: {(Revenue-Cost of revenue) / Revenue}*100

Operating Margin Operating Margin is a ratio used to measure a companys pricing strategy and operating
efficiency.

Calculation: (Operating Income / Revenues) *100

Net Profit Margin Net Profit Margin is the ratio of net profits to revenues for a company or business segment - that
shows how much of each dollar earned by the company is translated into profits.

Calculation: (Net Profit / Revenues) *100

Profit Markup Profit Markup measures the companys gross profitability, as compared to the cost of revenue.

Calculation: Gross Income / Cost of Revenue

Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios are used to determine a companys ability to pay off its short-terms debts obligations. Generally, the higher
the value of the ratio, the larger the margin of safety that the company possesses to cover short-term debts. A companys
ability to turn short-term assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance when creditors are seeking payment.
Bankruptcy analysts and mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios to determine whether a company will be
able to continue as a going concern.
Current Ratio Current Ratio measures a companys ability to pay its short-term obligations. The ratio gives an
idea of the companys ability to pay back its short-term liabilities (debt and payables) with its
short-term assets (cash, inventory, receivables). The higher the current ratio, the more capable
the company is of paying its obligations. A ratio under 1 suggests that the company would be
unable to pay off its obligations if they came due at that point.

Calculation: Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio Quick ratio measures a companys ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid
assets.

Calculation: (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Cash Ratio Cash ratio is the most stringent and conservative of the three short-term liquidity ratio. It only
looks at the most liquid short-term assets of the company, which are those that can be most
easily used to pay off current obligations. It also ignores inventory and receivables, as there are
no assurances that these two accounts can be converted to cash in a timely matter to meet
current liabilities.

Calculation: {(Cash and Bank Balance + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities)}

Leverage Ratios
Leverage ratios are used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of the companys methods of
financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations. There are several different ratios, but the main factors
looked at include debt, equity, assets and interest expenses.
Debt to Equity Ratio Debt to Equity Ratio is a measure of a companys financial leverage. The debt/equity ratio also
depends on the industry in which the company operates. For example, capital-intensive
industries tend to have a higher debt-equity ratio.

Calculation: Total Liabilities / Shareholders Equity

Debt to Capital Debt to capital ratio gives an idea of a companys financial structure, or how it is financing its
Ratio operations, along with some insight into its financial strength. The higher the debt-to-capital ratio,
the more debt the company has compared to its equity. This indicates to investors whether a
company is more prone to using debt financing or equity financing. A company with high debt-to-
capital ratios, compared to a general or industry average, may show weak financial strength
because the cost of these debts may weigh on the company and increase its default risk.

Calculation: {Total Debt / (Total assets - Current Liabilities)}

Interest Coverage Interest Coverage Ratio is used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on
Ratio outstanding debt, calculated as earnings before interest and tax by interest expense.

Calculation: EBIT / Interest Expense

Efficiency Ratios
Efficiency ratios measure a companys effectiveness in various areas of its operations, essentially looking at maximizing its
use of resources.
Fixed Asset Fixed Asset Turnover ratio indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to generate
Turnover sales. A higher ratio indicates the business has less money tied up in fixed assets for each
currency unit of sales revenue. A declining ratio may indicate that the business is over-invested
in plant, equipment, or other fixed assets.

Calculation: Net Sales / Fixed Assets

Asset Turnover Asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a companys use of its assets in generating sales
revenue to the company. A higher asset turnover ratio shows that the company has been more
effective in using its assets to generate revenues.

Calculation: Net Sales / Total Assets

Current Asset Current Asset Turnover indicates how efficiently the business uses its current assets to generate
Turnover sales.

Calculation: Net Sales / Current Assets

Inventory Turnover Inventory Turnover ratio shows how many times a companys inventory is sold and replaced over
a period. A low turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio implies
either strong sales or ineffective buying.

Calculation: Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory

Working Capital Working Capital Turnover is a measurement to compare the depletion of working capital to the
Turnover generation of sales. This provides some useful information as to how effectively a company is
using its working capital to generate sales.

Calculation: Net Sales / Working Capital

Capital Employed Capital employed turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a companys use of its equity in
Turnover generating sales revenue to the company.

Calculation: Net Sales / Shareholders Equity

Net income per Net income per Employee looks at a companys net income in relation to the number of
Employee employees they have. Ideally, a company wants a higher profit per employee possible, as it
denotes higher productivity.

Calculation: Net Income / No. of Employees

a larger percentage of its income to expenses. If the efficiency ratio is getting lower, it is good for
the bank and its shareholders.
