DPS (1,717) (1,179) (1,717) (1,719) (5,927)

 The table of Dividend per Share shows negative value for the 5 years. This
inconsistency over the period of time shows a very bad image and performance
of the entity to its shareholders.

3. Dividend Payout Ratio

Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

Dividend 0 0 0 0 0
Payout Ratio

The Dividend payout ratio is 0 which clearly shows that no earnings in any form
of dividend is not given to any shareholders. Null payout ratio indicates that the
company is retaining all of its earnings to fuel its growth.

4. Retention Ratio

Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

Retention 1 1 1 1 1
Ratio

As the Dividend payout ratio is 0, the retention ratio will obviously be 100% as
the company Faisal Spinning Mills Limited does not buy any dividend from the
shareholders. In the analysis of the year 2014 to 2018 it shows that there is no
dividend payout. Therefore giving the retention ratio of 100%.

5. Growth Rate:

Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

Growth Rate 0.18 0.06 0.05 0.11 0.16

The growth rate in 2014 is 18% which means that the company has the ability to
or is trying to grow at this rate using its current resources but in the next two
years i.e. 2015 and 2016 its growth rate falls to 6% and 5% respectively.
However, it increases to 11% and 16% in the year 2017 and 2018 respectively
depicting an increased sustainability.

 Profitability Ratios
1. Net Profit Margin:
Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Net Profit 0.06 0.02 0.02 0.04 0.04
Margin

The net profit margin in 2014 shows that 6% of the net profit is being generated
from sales. The ratio decreases in the subsequent two years in 2015 and 2016
by 2%. However there is a gradual increase by 2% in the years 2017 and 2018.
This shows that the profit is being generated from other sources as the net profit
margin is extremely low in comparison with other companies’ net profit margin,
thus, depicting that the company is not doing well.

2. Operating Margin

Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

Operating 0.08 0.05 0.03 0.06 0.07
Margin

In 2014, the company made only 8% profit on its revenue after paying off its
variable and direct expenses and before payment of its taxation and interest.
This means that only 8% of the revenue is available for the payment of non-
operating costs. Same goes for the ratios for the remaining four years, however,
if we do a relative comparison we would see that the ratio first decreased
relatively from 2015 to 2016 by 5% and then increased by 4% in 2018. The
overall profit of the above 5 years is actually less than the year 2014 showing
reduced sales of the company.

Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

Pre-Tax 0.14 0.05 0.03 0.08 0.10
Margin

The pre-tax margin of 0.14 indicates that 14% of the total revenue is taxable. The
higher this ratio is the more profitable a company is because it symbolizes the
companies’ ability of meeting all its expenses and still be profitable enough to
pay tax. In 2015 and 2016 the ratio decreases thus making the company less
profitable and then the ratio increases consecutively in the two following years
initially by 5% and then by a further 2%, thus showing that the companies’ profit
 in terms of sales is slightly increasing. However, the average profit in terms of
sales has decreased from 2014.

investment it has received. The company has a return of 17% of the net profit to
the equity holders. This ratio however, decreases in the year 2015 and 2016 by
13% which means that the rate of return to the shareholders is decreasing and
then an increase is observed in 2017 and 2018 by 8%. This indicates that there
the incredibly less return on the equity portion of the company.

to PBT

The ratio of 2014 tells us that 12% of the EBT is taken up by the administrative
expenses. This ratio shows the percentage with which the administrative
expenses have an effect on EBT. The ratio increases then in the year 2015 and
2016, and then decreases in 2017 and 2018. This decrease shows the increase
in the administrative expenses in the relative years.

therefore, indicating towards a greater income and less operating expenses.

its assets which is low as per the standard. We can see that in the following
years this cash ratio increases till 2017 to 50% and then decreases to 37% in

According to the standard of 2:1, the above 5 years have a very high current ratio
i.e. from 2.48 till 2.84, depicting that a lot of investment is done in the current
assets which is not a good thing for the company, regardless of the fact that it
increases the companies’ ability to pay of its current liabilities.

 The net working capital first decreases from year 2014 to 2015 but then it increases
from 2016 till 2018 thus depicting that the company has the potential to invest and to
grow. The working capital increases by Rs.1,075,462,793. This potentially hints
towards greater and greater investment in the current assets over the five years,
which is particularly not a good thing.

cash more in the initial years rather than later. In the financial year of 2014, the
receivables pertaining to sales were turned 31 times and so on. However, the decrease
in this ratio is of 15.34 times by 2018, thus indicating towards either a decrease in
