KPIs Explained Accounts Payable Days 13.00 days A measure of how long it takes for the business to pay its creditors. A stable higher number of days is generally an indicator of good cash management. A longer time taken to pay creditors has a positive impact on Cash Flow. But an excessive lengthening in this ratio could indicate a problem with sufficiency of working capital to pay creditors. For this period, accounts payable days are below the target of 45.00 days. Accounts Payable Days = Accounts Payable * Period Length / Cost of Sales Accounts Receivable Days 0.00 days A measure of how long it takes for the business to collect the amounts due from customers. A lower number indicates that it takes the business fewer days to collect its accounts receivable. A shorter time to collect debtors has a positive impact on Cash Flow. A higher number indicates that it takes longer to collect its accounts receivable. For this period, accounts receivable days are below the maximum target of 30.00 days. Accounts Receivable Days = Accounts Receivable * Period Length / Revenue Activity Ratio 4.24 times A measure of the efficiency or effectiveness with which the business manages its resources or assets. This measure indicates the speed with which Net Operating Assets (Equity + Debt) are converted or turned into sales. This can be improved by optimising balance sheet efficiency, ie. by reducing the investment in working capital, selling-off any unused assets or by seeking ways to maximise the use of assets. For this period, the activity ratio has exceeded the target of 2.00 times. Activity Ratio = Annualised Revenue / Total Invested Capital Asset Turnover 3.79 times A measure of how effectively the business has used its assets to generate revenue. The business makes $379.00 of sales for every $100 of its asset investment. The higher the number the better the turnover. Ways to improve this metric include increasing sales using the same asset base, using capital more efficiently, and/or improve cash management by reducing inventory and receivables. For this period, the Asset Turnover is less than the target of 5.00 times. Asset Turnover = Annualised Revenue / Total Assets Breakeven Margin of Safety $167,706 The breakeven safety margin represents the gap between the actual revenue level and the breakeven point. In other words, the amount by which revenue can drop before losses begin to be incurred. The higher the margin of safety, the lower the risk of incurring losses. For this period, the breakeven margin of safety is above the threshold of $109,097. Breakeven Margin of Safety = Revenue - Breakeven Sales Volume Cash Flow Margin 24.58% A measure of the company s ability to turn sales into cash. The business converts each $100 of sales into $24.58 of Operating Cash Flow. For this period, the Cash Flow Margin was less than the target of 120.00%. Cash Flow Margin = Operating Cash Flow / Revenue Created by Page 14
KPIs Explained Cash on Hand $528,014 A measure of the cash and cash equivalents in actual possession by the company at a particular time. At the end of this period the company held $528,014 of cash and cash equivalents. Cash on Hand is above the required target of $10,000. Cash on Hand = Cash & Equivalents Cash Ratio 3.46:1 The Cash Ratio measures the availability of cash and cash equivalents there are to cover current liabilities. Few businesses have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fully cover current liabilities. Accordingly, a cash ratio of less than 1 is often acceptable. For this period, the cash ratio was 3.46:1, down from 4.30:1 last period and above the minimum target of 0.50:1. Cash Ratio = Cash & Equivalents / Total Current Liabilities COS Change -19.77% A measure of the percentage change in total cost of sales for the period. A significant increase in cost of sales may indicate the erroding of margins and should prompt action. While growing revenues, management need to monitor expense growth to ensure disciplined growth. For this period, expense growth of -19.77% was below the target of 0.25%. COS Change = (Cost of Sales - Prior Cost of Sales) / Prior Cost of Sales Current Ratio 4.21:1 A measure of liquidity. This measure compares the totals of the current assets and current liabilities. The higher the current ratio, the greater the 'cushion' between current obligations and the business's ability to pay them. Generally a current ratio of 2 or more is an indicator of good short-term financial strength. In other words, the current assets of the business should be at least double the current liabilities. For this period, the current ratio was 4.21:1, down from 5.29:1 last period and above the minimum target of 2.00:1. Current Ratio = Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities Debt to Equity 0.00% A measure of the proportion of funds that have either been invested by the owners (equity) or borrowed (debt) and used by the business to finance its assets. An appropriate mix of debt financing and equity financing will vary for each industry and business. Management are responsible to ensure that an appropriate balance between the two sources of financing is maintained. To improve this ratio, management can seek to internally generate profits and retain these profits to fund future growth, rather than borrowing additional funds. For each $100 of equity supplied by shareholders, the business is carrying.00 of debt. For this period, the debt to equity ratio is below the target of 100.00%. Debt to Equity = Total Debt / Total Equity Debt to Total Assets 0.00% A measure of the proportion of the business's assets that are financed through debt. The funds to pay for 0.00% of the business's assets have been supplied by creditors. For this period, the debt to total assets ratio is below the set target of 50.00%. Debt to Total Assets = Total Debt / Total Assets Created by Page 15
KPIs Explained EBIT Growth -32.03% A measure of the percentage change in EBIT for the period. A combination of growth in revenues and growth in profits presents a balanced measure of growth For this period, EBIT growth of -32.03% was less than the target of -25.56%. EBIT Growth = (Earnings Before Interest & Tax - Prior Earnings Before Interest & Tax) / Prior Earnings Before Interest & Tax Economic Profit $799,064 This measure is underpinned by the concept that a business only adds value for its shareholders if it makes a profit in excess of its cost of capital. Economic profit is calculated as the amount by which profits exceed or fall short of the required return for shareholders. A positive economic profit represents that the business is creating shareholder value. A negative economic profit means that the business is destroying shareholder value. For this period, the economic profit of $799,064 generated by the business exceeds the target of. Economic Profit = Annualised NOPAT - (Weighted Average Cost of Capital * Total Invested Capital) Equity Change -2.63% A measure of the percentage change in Total Equity for the period. Total Equity changed by -2.63%. For this period, change in equity was less than the target of 0.25%. Equity Change = (Total Equity - Opening Total Equity) / Opening Total Equity Equity to Assets 89.40% A measure of the proportion of the business's assets that are financed by shareholder's equity. The funds to pay for 89.40% of the business's assets have been supplied by shareholders. For this period, the equity to total assets ratio is above the set target of 50.00%. Equity to Assets = Total Equity / Total Assets Expense Change -4.15% A measure of the percentage change in total expenses for the period. While growing revenues, management need to monitor expenses. A significant increase in expenses may indicate the erroding of margins and should prompt action. For this period, expense growth of -4.15% was below the target of 0.25%. Expense Change = (Expenses - Prior Expenses) / Prior Expenses Expense-to-Revenue Ratio 83.58% A measure of how efficiently the business is conducting its operations. While growing revenues, management need to monitor the change in expenses. A significant rise in the expense-to-revenue ratio may indicate the erroding of margins and should prompt action. For this period, the expense-to-revenue ratio is below the target of 89.07%. Expense-to-Revenue Ratio = (Cost of Sales + Expenses) / Revenue Created by Page 16
KPIs Explained Free Cash Flow $110,166 Free cash flow is the cash generated by the business, after paying its expenses and investing for future growth. It is the cash left after subtracting capital expenditure from operating cash flow. The term free cash flow is used because this cash is free to be paid back to the suppliers of capital. Gross Margin Return on Inventory 3,786.43% A measure of the average amount that the inventory returns above its cost. GMROI assists to monitor the investment in inventory and the resulting gross margin earned by this investment. A result higher than 100% indicates that the business is selling its products for more than what it costs to acquire. For this period, the GMROI exceeds the target of 150.00%. Gross Margin Return on Inventory = Annualised Gross Profit / (Inventory + Opening Inventory) / 2 Gross Profit Growth -11.84% A measure of the percentage change in gross profit for the period. For this period, gross profit growth of -11.84% was less than the target of -7.41%. Gross Profit Growth = (Gross Profit - Prior Gross Profit) / Prior Gross Profit Gross Profit Margin 77.18% A measure of the proportion of revenue that is left after deducting all costs directly related to the sales. For each $100 in sales the business retains $77.18 after deducting the cost of sales. The gross profit serves as the source for paying operating expenses. The gross profit margin can be further improved by improving price, volume and cost of sales management. For this period, the gross profit margin % is above the required target of 75.48%. Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Revenue Growth Equilibrium 67.81% A measure of the self-funding rate of growth the business can sustain from its retained earnings (assuming a constant debt-to-equity ratio). The growth equilibrium is also commonly known as the sustainable growth rate. When the actual growth rate is less than the sustainable growth rate this indicates that the business has sufficient cash to fund its own growth. When the actual growth rate is above the sustainable this indicates that only a portion of growth is being funded by retained earnings. Additional funding will be required from outside sources to fund the deficit. For this business, a growth of 67.81% can be self-funded. For this period, the growth equilibrium exceeded the target of 0.00%. Growth Equilibrium = Annualised Retained Income / Opening Total Equity Inventory Days 32.00 days A measure of how efficiently the business converts inventory into sales. A lower number of days is generally an indicator of good inventory management. A shorter time holding inventory has a positive impact on cash flow. But a low result can also mean there is a shortage of inventory. Conversely, a high result may indicate overstocking. For this period, inventory days are above the maximum target of 20.00 days. Inventory Days = Inventory * Period Length / Cost of Sales Created by Page 17
KPIs Explained Net Cash Flow $1,885 Net cash flow is the cash left after subtracting expenditures from financing activities from the free cash flow. Financing activities include the inflow of cash from investors such as banks and shareholders, as well as the outflow of cash to shareholders as dividends. Net Debt Change -0.36% A measure of the percentage change in Net Debt for the period. Net Debt is calculated as Total Debt (short-term and long-term debt) less Cash & Equivalents. For this period, change in debt of -0.36% was less than the target of 0.00%. Net Debt Change = (Net Debt - Prior Net Debt) / Prior Net Debt Net Income Growth -32.03% A measure of the percentage change in Net Income for the period.
