When calculating the industry averages, we have been careful to exclude unusually high or low figures (ie plus or minus two standard deviations from the mean). Guarding against spurious figures ensures that our averages remain a truer representation of the industry. Chapter Four presents the latest five years of accounts available for each company. Using a series of seven graphs, company performance figures are presented alongside the following industry averages making it easy to compare individual companies with the industry. 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 24.63 26.25 18.22 18.01 18.59 24.39 Operating Profit Margin (%) 5.16 1.06 5.56 4.92 4.91 5.42 Profit Before Interest & Tax Margin (%) 5.81 10.16 6.38 5.52 6.15 5.75 Gross Profit Margin (%) Pre-tax Profit Margin (%) 4.22 9.17 5.57 4.66 5.36 5.17 Return on Total Assets (%) -0.24 2.71 1.80 2.17 2.23 0.79 Return on Capital Employed (%) -1.02 7.51 8.18 9.86 9.84 2.64 -24.22 12.12 7.46 9.01 9.85 1.23 Current Ratio 0.31 0.32 0.30 0.28 0.32 0.18 Quick Ratio 0.26 0.28 0.25 0.24 0.27 0.15 Debt Ratio 0.86 0.83 0.85 0.85 0.84 0.90 Return on Equity (%) Click here latest results65 76 to order the 61 full report52and all the 53 Credit Given (Days) 61 Credit Taken (Days) 37 42 32 29 30 53 Times Interest Earned 3.80 9.29 6.72 7.23 8.39 10.02 Fixed Asset Turnover 3.10 5.02 4.38 4.25 4.22 4.33 Stock Turnover 9.27 12.76 9.65 9.55 9.90 9.01 Debtor Turnover 6.01 7.89 6.58 7.12 6.87 5.82 188,623 273,749 264,208 248,395 252,575 195,040 31,401 45,175 37,494 37,161 39,597 38,492 Turnover Growth (% of 2012) 98.34 90.91 101.86 100.00 99.62 103.27 Operating Profit Growth (% of 2012) 94.75 76.37 96.15 100.00 104.27 102.94 Turnover per Employee (£) Average Wage (£) The Best Practice averages show what is achieveable for a well managed firm and the averages for Big Companies and Small Companies show whether investment in scale is likely to be rewarded. The difference between the various series of averages on each graph gives a measure of the variability of the results in a sector. All Companies - These averages provide a benchmark for any company in the sector. Chapter Four shows these averages as a direct comparison in the Ratio Analysis area. The trends in these averages can be thought of as indicating industry trends. So the graphs in Chapter Four are providing a benchmark of the industry performance over time against which each company can be measured. Big Companies - Calculated using the data available for the largest companies (based on Total Assets). The attractions of consolidation within the industry can be seen by considering these averages and comparing them to the averages for All Companies. Small Companies - Calculated using the data available for the smallest companies (based on Total Assets). The averages for smaller companies indicate their attractiveness for potential take-overs ie if the average performance of smaller companies exceeds that for larger companies then they become attractive acquisition targets. Best Practice - Calculated using the data for companies that are both financially strong and have been consistently profitable over previous years. Irregardless of size some companies are quite simply better managed or better placed to take advantage of industry changes than others so these averages show the potential for firms within this sector.

Companies have been ranked according to turnover, gross profit, operating profit, profit before interest & tax, pre tax profit, shareholder funds, number of employees, gross profit margin, operating profit margin, profit before interest & tax margin, pre tax profit margin, return on total assets, return on capital employed, return on equity, current ratio, quick ratio, debt ratio, credit given, credit taken, times interest earned, fixed asset turnover, stock turnover, debtor turnover, sales per employee, average wage, growth in turnover, growth in operating profit, growth in pre tax profit, growth in employees. To facilitate easy comparison of company size and financial performance, rankings have been provided in columns of descending order. Chapter Four: Company Accounts Chapter Four presents the company accounts for all of the firms listed in the report. For easier comparison between firms, the layout and presentation of company accounts has been standardised. Accompanying each set of accounts are two types of analysis. The first of which is a ratio analysis and the second is a graphical trend analysis. Please keep in mind that ratio and trend analyses are meaningless unless some type of comparative value is provided. It is for this reason that we have provided industry averages wherever possible. Our industry averages provide the reader with a benchmark against which individual companies can be compared. When reading company accounts, it is important to keep in mind that limited companies have nine months after their yearend to file their accounts with Companies House and public limited companies have six months after their yearend. Ratio Analysis The ratio analysis is located at the bottom of the page for each company. The ratios are calculated using figures taken from the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement. Using the ratios, it is possible to chart a firm's financial history and evaluate it's current position. The ratios presented in our review can be divided into five categories. Further explanation of these ratio categories can be found in Chapter Five 1) Profitability ratios illustrate the return generated on sales and investments. Return on total assets (ROTA) for example is a key indication of management effectiveness. 2) Liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet maturing short term obligations. 3) Gearing ratios measure the extent to which a firm has been financed by debt. 4) Activity ratios measure how effectively a firm is utilising its resources. 5) Growth ratios measure a firm's ability to maintain its financial position given the recent economic climate. Trend Analysis or Graph Analysis The trend analysis can be seen in up to seven graph illustrations which accompany each set of company accounts. Using the trend analysis, one can see company and industry changes over time. More specifically, it is possible to see whether or not a firm's financial position is improving or deteriorating. The following graph illustrations listed one through seven are provided for each company. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Credit Worthiness Credit Control Debt Ratio & Current Ratio Annual Sales (% of 2013) Turnover Analysis Sales Per Employee Profit Margins January 2015 Edition Chapter Two Introduction | 13 Subscribe Now Example Trend Graph 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Widgets Limited Values Industry Average Values The example graph is typical of the trend analysis provided for each company. Keeping in mind that both the absolute values and the slope of the trendlines are significant, such a graph can tell an important story concerning a firm's financial history. Assuming that our example graph is illustrating sales generated by Widgets Limited in comparison with those generated by the industry (ie the industry average), here are a few possible interpretations. Please note that the annual industry average equals total sales for a given year divided by total sales in 2013. Firms without a sales value for each consecutive year following 2013 have been excluded from the summation of the divisor. Industry sales fell from 105 to 100 between the years 2012 and 2013, whereas sales generated by Widgets Limited increased during this period. In spite of a shrinking market, sales for Widgets Limited increased from 70 to 100 resulting in a gain in market share. Sales continued to increase between 2013 and 2015 as illustrated by the firm's positive trendline slope. At this point in time, however, the industry began to gain some ground. The industry and Widgets Limited were generating sales at the same rate and as a result, no market share was gained on this occasion. Between 2014 and 2015, although the company had an increase in sales by 23% (ie 110 to 135), Widgets Limited lost its market share due to industry sales increasing at a greater rate. Making Sense of Modified Accounts Please be aware that figures are not always as they appear to be in company accounts. There are a couple of reasons for this. Many firms employ very skilful accountants who massage annual figures in an attempt to disguise a company's full or otherwise considered private financial position. Then there are those legal reporting requirements which allow small and medium sized firms to file partial or modified accounts. A small firm may choose to disclose its annual balance sheet figures only. Whereas, a medium sized firm may choose to file a modified profit and loss statement omitting its details on sales. In some cases, however, if annual figures reflect exceptionally well upon the company's operations, a small or medium sized firm may decide to file a complete set of accounts. A small company may file modified accounts with Companies House (ie a shortened balance sheet and abbreviated notes) as long as it meets two out of the three following criteria: 1) The firm's annual turnover is less than £6,500,000. 2) The firm's average balance sheet total does not exceed £3,260,000. 3) The firm's average number of employees does not exceed 50 persons. A medium sized company may file modified accounts with Companies House (ie a complete balance sheet, a director's report and a modified profit and loss statement omitting the annual turnover figure) as long as it meets two out of the three following criteria: 1) The firm's annual turnover is less than £25,900,000. 2) The firm's average balance sheet total does not exceed £12,900,000. 3) The firm's average number of employees does not exceed 250 persons. 14 | Chapter Two Introduction January 2015 Edition odd-page-marker Subscribe Now Although modified accounts are more open to interpretation errors, there is still a great deal of information which can be extracted. For example, all companies are required to file a balance sheet providing the figures necessary to calculate a firm's current ratio, quick ratio, debt ratio and two trend charts. Companies filing modified accounts are not required to file a turnover figure. However, it is possible to calculate an approximate turnover figure using the following ratios. The stock turnover ratio can be very accurate when reviewing wholesale industries. The fixed asset turnover ratio can be very accurate when reviewing manufacturing industries. The debtor turnover ratio can be very accurate when reviewing contracting industries, particularly local government agencies. Ratio analysis is not an exact method and you will need to use your judgement when choosing the best ratio to use. Example calculations are provided below for each ratio. Annual figures for Industry Averages can be found on page three in the Executive Summary. Annual figures for stock, total fixed assets and debtors for respective companies can be found in Chapter Five. Approximate Turnover for 2015 for Widget Limited = Industry Average Stock Turnover for 2015 x Stock for 2015 for Widget Limited Approximate Turnover for 2015 for Widget Limited = Industry Average Fixed Asset Turnover for 2015 x Total Fixed Assets for 2015 for Widget Limited Approximate Turnover for 2015 for Widget Limited = Industry Average Debtor Turnover for 2015 x Debtors for 2015 for Widget Limited The stability of these ratios is stated in the Executive Summary. This should indicate the degree of confidence that is safe to apply to your approximate turnover figures. Chapter Five: Terms & Ratios We have always found it useful to provide our readers with a chapter explaining the terminology and formulas as we have used them in our review. For the reader to better understand the data and analyses provided throughout the review, it is useful to know how the various terms and ratios have been applied.

odd-page-marker Subscribe Now Chapter Five Terms & Ratios Balance Sheet Items The balance sheet represents a snapshot of a company's assets. It does not however reflect a complete or otherwise considered "private" financial position of a firm. It is simply a record of the uncharged expenses to date. The balance sheet is often open to manipulation. Depending upon what sort of public impression is desired, financial changes occurring within a company may be disclosed or concealed by massaging the balance sheet. It is consequently important to read the notes to accounts. Failure to do so could lead to misleading conclusions about a firm's financial position. Full notes to company accounts can be obtained direct from Companies House. The balance sheet breaks down as follows: total assets = (fixed assets + current assets) - current liabilities, is equivalent to or otherwise financed by, long term liabilities + shareholder funds. Fixed assets are generally those assets that a firm does not intend to trade, but that it may intend to use for producing goods or marketing services. Fixed Assets Total Tangible Assets Includes land, buildings, industrial plants, machinery, fixtures and fittings and vehicles, etc. Tangible assets may be revalued incurring large fluctuations in balance sheet values. If a company comparison is made using balance sheet values alone, differing asset valuation dates may lead to misrepresentation. For example, although there may be no material difference in value of tangible assets between firm #1 and firm #2, firm #1 that purchased a building and some machinery five years prior followed by revaluation of these purchases four years later is likely to have a greater tangible asset value than identical firm #2 that has not yet revalued the same new purchases. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are generally goodwill payments made by a firm upon acquisition of a second firm. That is, payments for assets are made in excess of the recorded book value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets also include the value of a brand or trade name, although this is subject to serious debate in some accounting circles. Investments Investments include deposits held in banks, shares of subsidiary companies held by the parent company and any other long term assets not described above. Current assets are generally those assets that are intended for liquidation sooner rather than later. Current Assets Stock Stock includes raw materials, bought-in components, work in progress, finished goods, loose tools and consumables (ie stationery, petrol and packing materials). The recorded value of stock is most often dependent upon the policies made by management. Identical stock owned by separate firms may be valued differently on the balance sheet. This would depend upon whether "last in first out" (LIFO) or "first in first out" (FIFO) accounting policy is applied. Unless two companies implement similar valuation policies, it is difficult to say which out of the two companies possessing different levels of stock while generating similar levels of turnover is less or more efficient. However, if the differences in stock held are great between the two companies, it is likely that a factor other than the firm's accounting policy is responsible for this difference. Bear in mind that for many January 2015 Edition Chapter Five Terms & Ratios | 707 Subscribe Now small firms, the stock value recorded in the balance sheet is determined by company management and is not necessarily checked by outside auditors. Debtors Debtors are customers owing money to the company for goods or services supplied as of the balance sheet date. A high level of debt is clearly bad for the operation of any firm. It not only increases the need for working capital, it increases the financial risk to company operation. Cash & Liquid Assets Cash and liquid assets include monies held in current and short term deposit accounts. Other Current Assets Other current assets include quoted company shares, tax reserve certificates, other marketable securities, monies owed by group companies and any other assets not listed separately. Current liabilities generally include monies owed by creditors falling due within one year. This includes short term loans from banks or shareholders, additional bank overdrafts, advance payments made by the firm, monies owed by the firm to parent or subsidiary firms (ie group companies), taxation Current Liabilities Trade Creditors Trade creditors are the firm's trade suppliers which the firm owes monies to for goods received. These outstanding funds are payable within one year. This is money owed by the company as of the balance sheet date. Bank Loans & Overdrafts These are short term loans owed by the company falling due within one year such as bank loans and overdrafts from additional outside sources. Other Current Liabilities Total of all other liabilities falling due within one year including VAT, social security, etc. These totals are the result of adding and subtracting the various sections previously detailed and are measures of the net financial position of the firm. Balance Sheet Totals Working Capital Working capital is the balance of current assets minus current liabilities. It is a measure of the short term funds involved in a firm's operation. Net Assets Net assets = (total fixed assets + total current assets) - total current liabilities. Total net assets = the balance sheet total and is equivalent to capital employed. Capital Employed Capital employed = total shareholder funds + long term loans + any other long term liabilities. Capital employed is the money directly used to finance the business. Keep in mind that in order for the balance sheet to "balance," capital employed needs to equal net assets. Long Term Liabilities 708 | Chapter Five Terms & Ratios The Company finances its operations over the long term using a mixture of loans, share capital and retained earnings. January 2015 Edition odd-page-marker Subscribe Now Total Long Term Loans Total of loans from group companies, directors or hire purchase comitments to the company of a long term nature (ie falling due in excess of one year). Other Long Term Liabilities Any other long term liabilities such as provisions for tax or pensions or balance sheet minorities. Issued Capital Paid up share capital such as preferred and ordinary stock in circulation. Retained Earnings Total of earnings from previous years which have been retained by the firm. Revaluation Reserve Revaluation of assets such as land & buildings may occur. This is the amount of revaluation is recorded. Shareholder Funds Paid up share capital, such as preferred and ordinary stock in circulation, total of earnings from previous years which have been retained by the company, plus any revaluation or other reserves. Profit & Loss Items Turnover (Sales) Turnover equals the total revenue earned during the year which has been generated by normal trading operations, excluding VAT. Cost Of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold include the total marginal costs of production such as raw material costs. Gross Profit Gross profit = turnover - cost of goods sold. Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses include advertising, distribution and service costs, sales expenses and other overheads. Operating Profit Operating profit = gross profit + other operating income - administrative expenses - other operating charges. Exceptional Items Exceptional items are items of a non-recurring nature. These items are added or deducted before pre-tax profit has been declared. Non-trading Income Non-trading income is financial income such as dividends and interest. Profit Before Interest & Tax This is the profit generated using all the assets in the business which is distributed amongst those who have provided the assets. Interest Paid Total of all interest payments made by the company in the year. Pre-tax Profit Pre-tax profit is the income generated prior to taxation. Tax Paid Tax is money payable to the government in the financial year based upon earnings in the previous year. Extraordinary Items Extraordinary items are items of a non-recurring nature. Extraordinary items are generally larger and less usual than exceptional items. They are added or deducted after pre-tax profit has been declared. Minority Interests This occurs when consolidated group accounts include subsidiaries which are not wholly owned. This is a payment to equity shareholders of these other companies. Dividends January 2015 Edition Dividends are monies distributed to shareholders. Chapter Five Terms & Ratios | 709 Subscribe Now Retained Profit Retained profit is money available for distribution after all expenses have been met.

Current Ratio Current Assets Current Liabilities The current ratio is the most commonly used measure for short term solvency. It indicates the extent to which short term claims by creditors (ie current liabilities) are covered by current assets. Normally, a firm is expected to collect payment from its customers (ie debtors) and pay its suppliers (ie creditors) within the same time frame. The current ratio measures the extent to which this can be accomplished. Quick Ratio (Acid Test) Current Assets - Stock Current Liabilities The quick ratio measures a firm's ability to pay off its current liabilities. This is a harsher measure of a firm's liquidity than current ratio.

There are two types. Debt ratios take figures from a firm's balance sheet. Whereas, times interest earned ratios take figures from the profit & loss statement. Gearing Ratios Debt Ratio Total Debt Total Assets Debt ratio measures the extent to which borrowed funds have been used to finance a firm's operation (ie the proportion of total funds provided by creditors). Clearly, creditors prefer lower debt ratios, since they indicate decreased risk of company liquidation. Please note that total debt = current liabilities + long term liabilities, and total assets = current assets + fixed assets. A debt ratio or gearing of 0.5 would indicate that the shareholder funds were matched by various forms of loan capital. Similarly, a debt ratio of 0.8 would indicate that the various creditors were supplying £4 to every £1 supplied by the shareholders. Times Interest Earned Profit Before Interest & Tax Interest Paid Times interest earned measures the extent to which profits may be allowed to decrease before a firm is forced to default on its annual loan interest payments. Keep in mind that taxation does not affect a company's ability to make its interest payments. All interest payments are deducted from profits prior to declaration. Activity Ratios Activity ratios measure the efficiency of asset use. Stock Turnover Turnover Stocks Stock turnover measures the amount of stock held by a firm in relationship to its size. This ratio indicates whether or not the level of stock held by the firm is reasonable. The significance of the stock turnover ratio could be increased by replacing the stock value figure as of the balance sheet date with an average stock value figure for the year. Credit Given (Days) Debtors x 365 Turnover The credit given ratio measures how long a firm waits before collecting payment from its customers. Some firms record gross turnover rather than commission earnings. In such cases, this ratio will be distorted. Credit Taken (Days) Trade Creditors x 365 Cost of Goods Sold The credit taken ratio measures how much credit a firm is receiving from its suppliers. As with the measure of days credit given distortions may arise. Fixed Asset Turnover January 2015 Edition Turnover Chapter Five Terms & Ratios | 711 Subscribe Now Total Fixed Assets The fixed asset turnover ratio indicates how capital intensive a firm is. Debtor Turnover Turnover Debtors The debtor turnover ratio is an indication of how well a company is managing its debtors. The figure tend to be consistent within the industry.
