PREVIEW OF CHAPTER 1
Financial statement analysis is an integral and important part of the broader field
of business analysis. Business analysis is the process of evaluating a company’s eco-
nomic prospects and
risks. This includes an-

loans, how to value a business in an initial public offering (IPO), and how to evaluate
restructurings including mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. Financial statement
analysis is the application of analytical tools and techniques to general-purpose finan-
cial statements and related data to derive estimates and inferences useful in business
analysis. Financial statement analysis reduces reliance on hunches, guesses, and intu-
ition for business decisions. It decreases the uncertainty of business analysis. It does not
lessen the need for expert judgment but, instead, provides a systematic and effective
basis for business analysis. This chapter describes business analysis and the role of
financial statement analysis. The chapter also introduces financial statements and
explains how they reflect underlying business activities. We introduce several tools and
techniques of financial statement analysis and apply them in a preliminary analysis of
Colgate. We also show how business analysis helps us understand Colgate’s prospects
and the role of business environment and strategy for financial statement analysis.

sword: while reducing sales volatility, it also fosters fierce competition for market share.
Colgate has been able to thrive in this competitive environment by following a carefully
defined business strategy that develops and increases market leadership positions in cer-
tain key product categories and markets that are consistent with the company’s core
strengths and competencies and through relentless innovation. For example, the com-
pany uses its valuable consumer insights to develop successful new products regionally,
which are then rolled out on a global basis. Colgate also focuses on areas of the world
where economic development and increasing consumer spending provide opportuni-
ties for growth. Despite these strategic overtures, Colgate’s profit margins are continu-
ously squeezed by competition. The company was thus forced to initiate a major
restructuring program in 2004 to reduce costs by trimming its workforce by 12% and
shedding several unprofitable product lines.
6 Financial Statement Analysis
Colgate’s brand leadership together with its international diversification and sensible
business strategies have enabled it to become one of the most successful consumer
products companies in the world. In 2011, Colgate earned $2.43 billion on sales rev-
enues of $16.73 billion. During the past decade, Colgate’s operating profit margin has
averaged above 20% of sales, which translates to an average return on assets of almost
30%, suggesting that its business is extremely profitable. Colgate then uses its small eq-
uity base and significant amount of debt financing to leverage its return on equity to
above 100%, one of the highest of all publicly traded companies. The stock market has
richly rewarded Colgate’s excellent financial performance and low risk: the company’s
price-to-earnings and its price-to-book ratios are, respectively, 19 and 21, and its stock
price has significantly outperformed the broader market.
In our discussion here, we reference a number of financial performance measures,
such as operating profit margins, return on assets, and return on equity. We also refer to
certain valuation ratios such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book, which appear to
measure how the stock market rewards Colgate’s performance. Financial statements
provide a rich and reliable source of information for such financial analysis. The state-
ments reveal how a company obtains its resources (financing), where and how those re-
sources are deployed (investing), and how effectively those resources are deployed (op-
erating profitability). Many individuals and organizations use financial statements to
improve business decisions. Investors and creditors use them to assess company
prospects for investing and lending decisions. Boards of directors, as investor represen-
tatives, use them to monitor managers’ decisions and actions. Employees and unions use
financial statements in labor negotiations. Suppliers use financial statements in setting
credit terms. Investment advisors and information intermediaries use financial state-
ments in making buy-sell recommendations and in credit rating. Investment bankers use
financial statements in determining company value in an IPO, merger, or acquisition.
To show how financial statement information helps in business analysis, let’s turn to
the data in Exhibit 1.3. These data reveal that over the past ten years Colgate’s net
income increased by 89%. Much of this growth was fueled by a significant growth in
