Financial Ratios
Financial ratios measure liquidity, solvency, profitability, efficiency and the market value
of a company. As explained by Purba & Septian (2019), the five types of ratios are derived from
what they measure and they consist of liquidity or short term solvency ratios, long-term solvency
or financial leverage ratios, profitability ratios, asset management or turnover ratios, as well as
market value ratios. The financial analysis of Source Energy covers the 2016-2020 fiscal years.
Short-Term Solvency or Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to cater for its short-term obligations as
and when they fall due. Liquidity ratios are cash ratio, current ratio and quick ratio. A favorable
liquidity ratio should be 1 and above. Source Energy’s liquidity ratios are as shown in the table
below. The data to calculate the ratios were extracted from the company’s website and
finance.yahoo.com (https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/investors/ and
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SHLE.TO/financials?p=SHLE.TO)

Ratio 2.18 1.68 2.50 1.48 1.16
Cash Ratio
The cash ratio shows the amount of cash available to pay off the short-term obligations
per the cash flows statements. It is calculated by dividing the company’s cash and cash
equivalents by the current liabilities. As shown in Table 1, Source Energy had no cash and cash
equivalents at the end of 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020. In 2018, the cash ratio was 0.11 which is
way below the favorable cash ratio. That means that the company is facing liquidity risks of
having no sufficient cash to pay its short-term liabilities as and when they fall due.
Current Ratio
Weygandt, Kimmel & Kieso (2018), explain that current ratio measure the extent in
which the company’s current assets cover the short term liabilities. From Table 1, Source Energy
recorded a current ratio of more than 1 over the five years period covered in this financial
analysis. That means its current assets can cover its short term obligations. The graph below
shows a non-linear trend of Source Energy’s current ratio. There was an increase in 2017 and
2018, a decrease in 2019 and another increase in 2020. The decrease in 2019 can be explained by
the company’s adoption of the IFRS 16 Leases in January 1, 2019 which introduced the lease
liability in the company’s balance sheet.

Quick Ratio
Like current ratio, quick ratio measures the extent in which the company’s current assets
cover its short term obligations. However, quick ratio puts into consideration the fact that it takes
more time to convert inventory into cash. Besides, there is a risk of having obsolete items in the
company’s inventory. Therefore, inventory is deducted from the current assets. As shown in
Table 1, Source Energy has a quick ratio of less than 1. That means inventory accounts for a
significant portion of the current assets which may present the company with liquidity issues.
The trend over the five years follows that of the current ratio in which there was a decrease of
quick ratio in 2019. Nevertheless, the increase in 2020 suggests a positive trend in future.

Inventory Turnover
Kwak (2019) explains that inventory turnover is a ratio that shows the number of times a
company has replenished and sold all its inventory in a specified period. The higher the
inventory turnover ratio, the more effective a company is in managing its inventory. That means
the company does not order more merchandise than what is demanded and that it is efficiency in
selling merchandise at hand. Inventory turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods
��������� ���������+������� ���������
sold by average inventory. Average inventory is given by 2
.
Source Energy has a favorable inventory turnover ratio although it has been decreasing in the
past four accounting years as shown in the figure below.

Receivables Turnover
Receivables turnover shows the effectiveness of the company in formulating a credit
policy. It calculates the number of times a company collects its average receivables in a year. A
high receivables turnover ratio is always favorable. Over the past five financial years, the least
receivables turnover that Source Energy recorded was 6.0. The trend analysis shows that the
company’s receivable’s turnover has been increasing until 2019.

Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios measure the company’s ability to generate income relative to sales,
operating expenses, assets or shareholders equity. Prospective investors are particularly keen on
the profitability ratios because they do not wish to invest in a company that is making losses. As
shown in Table 4, Source Energy is not a profitable company as it has been making losses over
the past 5 financial years. That means that the company is generating losses relative to net sales,
total assets and total shareholder’s equity. It suggests weak financial health and may make the
company’s stock unattractive. Investors are less likely to invest in a company that does not
guarantee them a return at the end of every financial year in terms of dividends. The data to
calculate the ratios were extracted from the company’s website and finance.yahoo.com

recently incorporated. The market to book ratio in 2017 and 2018 was more than 1 which is an
indication that SHLE was overvalued. On the other hand, the market to book ratio for 2019 and
2020 is below 1 which suggests an undervalued SHLE. EPS measures the earnings the company
generates for every outstanding ordinary shares. Source Energy has been making losses since its
incorporation in 2017 which explains the negative EPS. The data to calculate the ratios were
