Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) is a Multistate Co-operative

Society. It was a unique venture in which the farmers of the country through their own Co-

operative Societies created this new institution to safeguard their interests. IFFCO

manufactures Urea and NPK/ DAP fertilizers and sells them to the co-operative societies.

The project is Working Capital Management of IFFCO. The objectives of the project are:

To analyse the working capital and working capital management policies at IFFCO

To analyse the cash management practices at IFFCO

The study is mainly based on the secondary data which refers to that form of information that

has already been collected and is available. The analysis of working capital is based on ratio

analysis to monitor overall trends in working capital and to identify areas requiring closer

management.

Working capital is not measurable by only current assets & current liabilities but there are

some other factors also that have an influence on the working capital. From the analysis of

the components of working capital, it was found that the organization is utilizing its funds

properly, the inventory is managed efficiently and the organization is able to get sufficient

short term financing. It is clear that the working capital of IFFCO is in sound position. The

suggestions can be made in the management of inventory by implementation of JIT or

Kanban and management of liquid assets including the subsidy provided by the government.

The Cash Management System at IFFCO is very sound and efficient. It has enabled the

organization to manage its funds in a proper manner resulting in better utilization and

availability of funds in cash deficit periods. IFFCO has a tie up with banks such as IOB,

HSBC Bank, ICICI Bank that are providing IFFCO with facilities such as cash management

services, personalized financial MIS to enable IFFCO to accelerate the collection and

payment of funds, debit sweep option, Anywhere banking facility, etc. The suggestion that

can be given to the organization is the implementation of RTGS (Real Time Gross

Settlement) and NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) facilities which will improve the

cash transfer at IFFCO.

IFFCO – THE ORGANIZATION

Page 5: Ratio Analysis Iffico

Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited

(IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967

as a Multi-unit Co-operative Society. It was a

unique venture in which the farmers of the

country through their own Co-operative

Societies created this new institution to

safeguard their interests. The numbers of co-

operative societies associated with IFFCO have

risen from 57 in 1967 to 38, 155 at present. On

the enactment of the Multistate Cooperative Societies act 1984 & 2002, the Society is

deemed to be registered as a Multistate Cooperative Society. The byelaws of the Society

provide a broad frame work for the activities of IFFCO as a Cooperative Society.

IFFCO commissioned an Ammonia - urea complex at Kalol and the NPK/DAP plant at

Kandla both in the state of Gujarat in 1975. Another Ammonia - urea complex was set up at

Phulpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981. The ammonia - urea unit at Aonla was

commissioned in 1988.

In 1993, IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programme of all the four plants under

overall aegis of IFFCO VISION 2000. The expansion projects at Aonla, Kalol, Phulpur and

Kandla have been completed on schedule. Thus all the projects conceived as part of Vision

2000 have been realised without time or cost overruns. All the production units of IFFCO

have established a reputation for excellence and quality.

A new growth path has been chalked out to realise newer dreams and greater heights through

Vision 2010 which is presently under implementation. As part of the new vision, IFFCO has

acquired fertiliser unit at Paradeep in Orissa in September 2008. As a result of these

expansion projects and acquisition, IFFCO's annual capacity has been increased to 3.69

million tonnes of Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 1.71 million tonnes of P2O5.

BIO – FERTILISERSBio-fertilisers are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when suitable crops are inoculated

with them. Bio-fertilisers are low cost, effective, environmental friendly and renewable

source of plant nutrients to supplement fertilisers. Integration of chemical, organic and

biological sources of plant nutrients and their management is necessary for maintaining soil

health for sustainable agriculture. The bacterial organisms present in the bio-fertiliser either

fix atmospheric nitrogen or solubilise insoluble forms of soil phosphate. The range of

nitrogen fixed per ha/year varies from crop to crop; it is 80 - 85 kg for cow pea, 50 - 60 kg for

groundnut, 60 - 80 kg for soybean and 50 - 55 kg for moongbean.

Business and Financial Review of Subsidiaries and AssociatesEven in the year of global economic meltdown, the business portfolio has been steadily

growing in tandem with the high growth aspirations. The organization have stepped up

investments in related businesses through various Joint Ventures and Associate Companies in

order to strengthen themselves further by looking at new opportunities that are unfolding and

create value addition in the core fertiliser sector.

On 31st March 2009, the total investments were Rs. 914 Crore in comparison to Rs.770.57

Crore on 31st March 2008 as per the following break-up:

Total 914.00 770.57

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEAs per its tradition, the Society has again exhibited an impressive financial performance in all

its major parameters, namely, Revenue Growth and Resource Utilisation, testifying to the

robustness of its Corporate Strategy of creating multiple drivers of growth in spite of

constraints in the availability of raw materials, the Global Economic Meltdown and

inordinate delays in receipt of large subsidy amounts from the Government of India. This was

possible due to higher production, sales volume and improvement in operating efficiencies.

The Society achieved the highest ever sales turnover of Rs 32,933 Crore. This represents an

increase of 170 per cent over the previous year. While, the sales volume of fertiliser material

increased by 20 per cent to 112.58 lakh MT fertiliser during 2012-13, as against 93.24 lakh

MT in the previous year, the major increase in the sales turnover was on account of

Page 18: Ratio Analysis Iffico

18

substantial increase in the commodity prices. The performance is even more satisfying when

viewed in the light of the challenging business environment of the fertiliser industry.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Society has consistently followed transparent, democratic and professional practices in

Corporate Governance since its inception. We have carved out a strong ‘Cooperative

Identity’ and are making sincere efforts to uphold the ‘Cooperative Values’ by cherishing

‘Cooperative Principles’. The Society’s endeavour has been to achieve the highest levels of

transparency, accountability and full disclosure to its shareholders in a bid to uphold the spirit

of Cooperative Principles and Cooperative Values by following the charter as lay down by

International Cooperative Alliance (ICA). The activities of the Society have been conducted

within the provisions of the Multi State Cooperative Societies Act/Rules and IFFCO Bye-

laws. A separate detailed report on Corporate Governance is given along with the Annual

Report.

Value AddedValue Added is the wealth which an enterprise has been able to create through the collective

effort of capital, management and employees. In economic terms, value added is the market

price of the output of an enterprise less the price of the goods and services acquired by

transfer. Value Added can provide a useful measure in gauging performance and activity of

the company.

WORKING CAPITAL RATIO ANALYSIS

The main purposes of Working Capital Ratio Analysis are:

To indicate working capital management performance; and

To assist in identifying areas requiring closer management

Three key points need to be taken into account when analyzing financial ratios. These

key points are as follows:

The results are based on highly summarized information. Consequently, situations,

which require control, might not be apparent, or situations, which do not warrant

significant effort, might be unnecessarily highlighted.

Different departments face very different situations. Comparisons between them, or

with global “ideal” ratio values, can be misleading.

Ratio analysis is somewhat one-sided; favourable results mean little, whereas

unfavourable results are usually significant.

However, financial ratio analysis is valuable because it raises questions and indicates

directions for more detailed investigation.

Sources of CashThe various sources of cash that provide the money to fund the working capital include the

following:

Existing cash reserves

Payables (credit from suppliers)

New equity or loans from shareholders

Bank overdrafts or lines of credit

Long term loans

Profit or net income

Inventory ManagementInventories constitute the most significant part of current assets. Inventories are stock of the

product, a company is manufacturing for sale and components to make that product. The

various forms of inventory in a fertilizer manufacturing company are:

Page 25: Ratio Analysis Iffico

25

Raw Materials are those basic inputs that are converted into the finished products through

the process of manufacturing.

Work-In-Progress inventories are semi-manufactured products.

Finished Goods inventories are completely manufactured products.

Stores & Spares, loose tools, chemical catalysts, packing & Construction materials

OBJECTIVES OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

The problems faced by an organization in the context of inventory management are:

To maintain a large size of inventory for efficient and smooth production & sales

operation

To maintain minimum investment in inventories to maximize profitability

To ensure continuous supply of materials, spares & finished goods.

To avoid both overstocking & under stocking of inventory

To eliminate duplicate stock orders. This is possible with the help of a centralized

purchasing system.

To design proper organization for inventory management

Both Excessive & Inadequate Inventories are not desirable. The objective of Inventory

Management is to determine & maintain the optimum level of inventory investment. The

optimum level of inventory will lie between two danger points of excessive & inadequate

inventories.

Excessive stocks can place a heavy burden on the cash resources of a business.

Insufficient stocks can result in lost sales, delays for customers etc.

The key is to know how quickly the stocks are moving or how long each item of stock sits on

shelves before being sold. Average stock holding periods are influenced by the nature of the

business.

The key issue for a business is to identify the fast and slow stock movers with the objective

of establishing optimum stock levels for each category and thereby minimize the cash tied up

in the stocks.

Factors to be considered when determining the optimum stock levels include:

What are the projected sales of each product?

How widely available are each component, raw materials, etc.?

How long does it take for delivery by the suppliers?

Page 26: Ratio Analysis Iffico

26

Can one remove the slow movers from one’s product range without compromising on

the best- sellers?

Page 27: Ratio Analysis Iffico

27

For better stock control, following measures can be adopted:

Review the effectiveness of existing purchasing & inventory systems.

Know the stock turnover for all major items of inventory.

Apply tight controls to the significant few items & supply control for the remaining.

Sell off outdated or slow moving merchandise.

Consider the idea of outsourcing the manufacturing of the product to another

manufacturer.

Review security procedures to minimize losses through deterioration, pilferage,

wastage & damages.

To facilitate furnishing of data for short-term & long-term planning & control of

inventory

Receivable ManagementAccounts Receivable refers to the amount owed by the debtors to the business. They are

usually created because of trade credit that is given to the customers of the business.

These receivables have three characteristics:

It involves an element of risk, which should be carefully analyzed.

It is based on economic value

It implies futurity.

To maintain a proper flow of funds in the business in order to make timely payments to the

creditors, to buy raw materials & to run the day-to-day activities of the business, it is essential

that the debtors make their payments on time. The interval between the date of sale & the

date of payment has to be financed out of the working capital. Thus, trade debtors represent

investment.

Objectives of Receivable Management

The objective of Receivable Management is to promote sales & profits until that point is

reached where the returns that the company gets from funding receivables is less than the

cost that the company has to incur in order to fund these receivables. However, to maintain

these receivables the company has to incur certain costs such as:

Page 28: Ratio Analysis Iffico

28

Additional fund requirements for the company – When a firm maintains

receivables, some of its resources remain blocked in them so to finance the activities

during that time gap the firm requires funds.

Administrative Costs

Collecting Costs

Defaulting Costs

The size of receivables or investment in Receivable Management is determined by the

firm’s credit policy & level of sales. Receivable management is the process of making the

decision of selection of trade debtors in which the funds could be invested or to whom money

can be given.

Receivable management involves the careful consideration of the following aspects: -

Forming the credit policy

Executing the credit policy

Formulating & executing the collection policy

The Credit Policy is the policy followed by the company with respect to the credit standards

adopted, any incentive in the form of cash discount offered, and also the period over which

the discount can be utilized by the customers & the collection effort made by the company.

All these variables underlying a company’s credit policy influence the volume of sales and

hence the profits of the company.

Cash Management

Cash, the most liquid asset and also referred to as the life blood of a business enterprise and

is of vital importance to the daily operations of the business firms. Its efficient management

is crucial to the solvency of the business because cash is the focal point of the fund flows in a

business. If a business has no cash and no way of getting any cash, it will have to close down.

Cash Management is concerned with the managing of:

Cash flows into and out of the firm.

Cash flows within the firm

Page 29: Ratio Analysis Iffico

29

Cash balances held by the firm at a point of time for financing deficits or investing

Surplus cash.

Cash Management refers to management of cash balance and the bank balance and also

short term deposits. The term cash may be used in two different ways:

1) It may include currency, cheques, drafts, demand deposits held by the firm i.e. pure

cash or generally accepted cash equivalents.

2) In a broader sense, it also includes near cash assets such as marketable securities and

short term deposits with banks. For cash management purposes, the term cash is

used in this broader sense i.e. it covers cash, cash equivalents and those assets which

are immediately convertible to cash.

Objectives of Cash Management

The cash management strategies are generally built around two goals:

To provide cash needed to meet the obligations, and

To minimize the idle cash held by the firm

The risk return trade-off of any firm can be reduced to two prime objectives for the firm’s

Cash Management System:

1) Meeting the Cash Outflows: This will help the firm in avoiding the chance to

default in meeting financial obligations otherwise the goodwill of the firm is

adversely affected. Also this will further help in availing the opportunities of getting

cash discounts by making early or prompt payments and meeting unexpected cash

outflows without much problem.

2) Minimizing the Cash Balance

Page 30: Ratio Analysis Iffico

30

Loans and AdvancesLoans and Advances are one of the important factors of working capital. In current assets

loans and advances play a significant role. When we talk about the working capital

management it is necessary to consider Loans & Advances, as they are a major component of

Current assets and along with the equity of the company for a source of generating cash in the

organization.

While analyzing the loans & advances position of IFFCO the following ratios have to be

calculated for better understanding i.e.

Loans and advances to Current Assets ratio

Loans and advances to Working capital ratio

Operating CycleOperating Cycle is the times duration required to convert sales, after the conversion of

resources into inventories, into cash. The operating cycle of a manufacturing company

involves three phases:

Acquisition of resources such as raw material, labour, power and fuel etc.

Manufacture of the product which includes conversion of raw material into work-

in-progress into finished goods.

Sale of the product either for cash or on credit. Credit sales create account receivable

for collection.

Operating Cycle

The operating cycles are of two types:

1. Gross Operating Cycle

2. Net Operating Cycle or Cash Conversion Cycle

Gross Operating Cycle

Gross operating cycle is a tool which measures the total number of days from the day the

purchases are made or the stock arrives to the day all the collections are made. Cash is said to

be blocked till the collections have been collected. So the sooner the cash is received from the

consumers the better is for the company as they get cash for further production. Gross

Operating Cycle is given as follows:

Operating cycle (OC) =

Days Inventory Outstanding(DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding(DSO)

Cash Conversion Cycle

The cash conversion cycle (also referred to as CCC or the net operating cycle) is the

analytical tool of choice for determining the investment quality of two critical assets -

inventory and accounts receivable. The CCC tells us the time (number of days) it takes to

convert these two important assets into cash. A fast turnover rate of these assets is what

creates real liquidity and is a positive indication of the quality and the efficient management

of inventory and receivables.

The cash conversion cycle is comprised of three standard, so-called activity ratios relating to

the turnover of inventory, trade receivables and trade payables. These components of the

CCC can be expressed as a number of times per year or as a number of days.

CCC = Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)

- Days Payable Outstanding (DPO)

Page 32: Ratio Analysis Iffico

32

The cash conversion cycle (CCC) measures how fast a company can convert cash on hand

into even more cash on hand. The CCC does this by following the cash as it is first converted

into inventory and accounts payable (AP), through sales and accounts receivable (AR), and

then back into cash. Generally, the lower this number is the better for the company.

The components of CCC are calculated as follows:

Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO)

This addresses the question of how many days it takes to sell the entire inventory. The

smaller this number is the better.

Days Inventory

Outstanding

(DIO)

=

Average Inventory

Cost of Goods sold (COGS) /

365

Broadly, the smaller number of days, the more efficient a company - inventory is held

for less time and less money is tied up in inventory. Instead, money is freed up for

things like research and development, marketing or even share buybacks and dividend

payments. If the number of days is high, that could mean that sales are poor and

inventories are piling up in warehouses.

If inventory days are increasing, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Companies

normally let inventories build up when they are introducing a new product in the

market or ahead of a busy sales period. However, if you don’t foresee an obvious

pickup in demand coming, the increase could mean that unsold goods will simply

collecting dust in the stockroom.

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)

This looks at the number of days needed to collect on sales and involves Accounts

Receivables. While cash-only sales have a DSO of zero, people do use credit

extended by the company, so this number is going to be positive. Again, smaller is

better.

Days Sales

Outstanding (DSO)=

Average Accounts Receivable

Net Sales / 365

If a company's collection period is growing longer, it could mean problems ahead.

The company may be letting customers stretch their credit in order to recognize

greater top-line sales and that can spell trouble later on especially if customers face a

cash crunch. Getting money right away is preferable to waiting for it - especially since

Page 33: Ratio Analysis Iffico

33

some of what is owed may never get paid. The quicker a company gets its customers

to make payments, the sooner it has cash to pay for salaries, merchandise and

equipment, loans and, best of all, dividends and growth opportunities.

Days Payables Outstanding (DPO)

This involves the company's payment of its own bills or Accounts Payables. If this

can be maximized, the company holds onto cash longer, maximizing its investment

potential; therefore, a longer DPO is better.

functions to be evaluated:

1. Inventory Turnover Ratio

2. Inventory to Working Capital Ratio

3. Inventory to Current Assets Ratio

4. Inventory to Sales Ratio

Page 34: Ratio Analysis Iffico

34

1. Inventory Turnover Ratio

The inventory turnover measures that how well the company can manage to sell its

inventory. Another way of saying is how efficiently the company turns inventory into

sales. The purpose is to ensure the blocking of only required minimum funds in

inventory.

Importance of Inventory Turnover

If the company can quickly sell its inventory, the inventory turnover will be higher.

Conversely, if the company cannot sell its inventory well, then the inventory turnover

will be low. One has to watch this figure closely – if the inventory ratio climbs too

high, then the company may be keeping too little inventory. This could cause lost

profits due to customer orders that had to wait until inventory arrived.

Inventory

Turnover Ratio=

Cost of Goods sold (COGS)

Average Inventory

2. Inventory to Working Capital ratio

The inventory to working capital ratio measures how well the company is able to

generate cash using working capital at its current inventory level. This ratio shows the

relationship between investments made in inventory & the total net investment in

working capital. Inventory is an important part of working because of its direct impact

on the profits of the organization. The value of inventory is susceptible to changing

price levels, fluctuation in business activities, variation in consumer demand,

obsolescence & other unpredictable factors that determine the market conditions.

Therefore, working capital should be sufficient to provide a cover for the possible

losses in inventory value.

Importance of Inventory to Working Capital

An increasing Inventory to Working Capital ratio is generally a negative sign,

showing the company may be having operational problems.  If a company has too

much Working Capital invested in Inventory, they may have difficulty having enough

Working Capital to make payments on Short-Term Liabilities and Accounts Payable. 

This is a great ratio to be used with several others to really pick apart the inner

workings of a company.

Page 35: Ratio Analysis Iffico

3. Inventory to Current Assets Ratio

Inventory is one of the largest components of the current assets. The position of

inventory indicates operational efficiency of organization. The inventory to current

assets ratio measures how much percentage of current assets is formed by the

inventories. This ratio is essential as inventories are the most illiquid of all current

assets as sometimes it becomes difficult to convert inventory ( raw materials, work-in-

progress and finished products ) into cash on a short notice.Importance of inventory to current assets

An increasing inventory to current assets ratio is a negative sign. It means that more &

more percentage of current assets is being constituted by the inventories. This

indicates poor operational efficiency of the organization. Also it shows that the funds

invested in current assets to meet obligations on a short notice are actually illiquid to

some extent & it may be difficult to convert them into cash immediately. On the other

hand, if the position of inventory is lower in current assets, it indicates higher

operational efficiency of the organization. Normally, less than 50 % of current assets

are treated as average position of inventory.

Inventory to Current Assets

Ratio

= Inventory X 100Current Assets

4. Inventory to Sales Ratio

The Inventory to Sales ratio measures the percentage of inventory the company

currently has on hand to support the current amount of sales. 

Importance of Inventory to Sales

An increasing Inventory to Sales ratio is generally a negative sign, showing the

company may be having trouble keeping inventory down and/or Net Sales have

slowed, and can sometimes indicate larger financial problems the company may be

facing.  Viewing this ratio over several periods reveals the important aspect of the

company's ability to manage inventory while attempting to increase sales.  It is also

important to compare this ratio among several companies to gauge how well each one

performs, and to compare their ratios to industry averages.

Ratios related to Receivable Management

1. Debtors turnover ratio

2. Average collection period

3. Debtors to current assets ratio

4. Debtors to working capital ratio

5. Debt to Equity Ratio

1. Debtors Turnover Ratio

This ratio is also known as Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio. Accounts

Receivable is the amount that customers owe the company. The Accounts

Receivable Turnover measures the number of times Accounts Receivables were

collected during the year. This is also a measure of how well the company collects

sales on credit from its customers, just as Average Collection Period measures this in

days.

Importance of Accounts Receivable Turnover

A high or increasing Accounts Receivable Turnover is usually a positive sign –

showing the company is successfully executing its credit policies and quickly turning

its Accounts Receivables into cash. A possible negative aspect to an increasing

Accounts Receivable Turnover is that the company may be too strict in its credit

policies and missing out on potential sales.

Debtor Turnover Ratio = Net Sales

Average Accounts Receivable

Page 37: Ratio Analysis Iffico

37

2. Average Collection Period

The Average Collection Period measures the average number of days it takes for the

company to collect revenue from its credit sales.  The Average Daily Sales is the Net

Sales divided by 365 days in the year. The company will usually state its credit

policies in its financial statement, so the Average Collection Period can be easily

gauged as to whether or not it is indicating positive or negative information.

Importance of Average Collection Period

This ratio reflects how easily the company can collect on its customers.  It also can be

used as a gauge of how loose or tight the company maintains its credit policies.  A

particular thing to watch out for is if the Average Collection Period is rising over

time.  This could be an indicator that the company's customers are in trouble, which

could spell trouble ahead.  This could also indicate the company has loosened its

credit policies with customers, meaning that they may have been extending credit to

companies where they normally would not have.  This could temporarily boost sales,

but could also result in an increase in sales revenue that cannot be recovered, as

shown in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

Average Collection

Debtor Turnover Ratio

3. Debtors to Current Assets Ratio

Debtor to current assets ratio indicates the position of debtors in total current assets.

This ratio is calculated by debtors with current assets. Debtors are one of the largest

components of current assets. If debtors are average or less than average, it indicates

proper realization of debtors. On the other hand, if debtors are very heavy on respect

of other current assets, it indicates poor recovery of the company.

Debtors to Current Assets

Ratio

= Debtors X 100Current Assets

Page 38: Ratio Analysis Iffico

4. Debtors to Working Capital Ratio

Debtor to working capital ratio is one of the important ratios for analysis of working

capital management. Working capital is directly related with the position of debtors. If

debtors are lower as compared to working capital, it indicates proper and smooth

utilization of working capital. But on the other hand, the amount of debtor is very

large in that condition, working capital blocked and operational efficiency is directly

affected.

Debtors to Working

Capital Ratio

= Debtors X 100Working Capital

5. Debt to Equity Ratio

Debt to Equity ratio describes the lenders contribution for each rupee of the owners’

contribution. The ratio is directly computed by dividing total debt by equity or net

worth.

Debt to Equity

Ratio=

Debt

Equity

Importance of Debt to Equity Ratio

The ratio shows the extent to which debt financing has been used in the business. A

high ratio means that claims of creditors are greater than those of owners. A high level

of debt introduces inflexibility in the firm’s operations due to the increasing

interference and pressure from creditors. A low debt-equity ratio implies a greater

claim of owners than capital.

1. Working Capital Ratio or Current Ratio

The working capital ratio (or current ratio) attempts to measure the level of liquidity,

that is, the level of safety provided by the excess of current assets over current

liabilities. The current ratio compares all the Current Assets of a company to all the

Current Liabilities.  What this ratio basically tells us is if the company had to sell all

its readily available assets, would it be able to pay off its immediate debt? 

Importance of Working capital ratio or current ratio

At a minimum, you would hope the company whose financial performance you are

analyzing could meet to pay its Current Liabilities if it were to liquidate all its Current

Assets.  This would translate to a Current Ratio of 1:1 - the point where the Current

Assets equal the Current Liabilities.  As with all the other performance ratios, the

Current Ratio value depends on the industry in which the company is operating.  It is

also important to know what assets make up most of the Current Assets.  Inventory

and Accounts Receivable, which are part of the Current Assets, cannot always be

counted on as easily transferred to cash.  Cash and Marketable Securities comprising

the majority of the Current Assets would definitely be favorable. Knowing this, would

the company you are analyzing truly be able to meet its financial obligations is it in

fact had to sell its Current Assets?  The Current Ratio rising over time will be

favorable.

Current Ratio =Current Assets

Current Liabilities

Page 40: Ratio Analysis Iffico

2. Liquid Ratio or Acid-Test Ratio or Quick Ratio

Liquid ratio is also known as Acid-test ratio or Quick ratio. Liquid ratio is a more

vigorous test of liquidity than current ratio. The term “liquidity” refers to the ability of

the firm to pay its short term obligations as & when they become due. Current assets

include inventories and prepaid expenses, which are not easily converted into cash

within a short span of time. So, quick ratio may be referred to as the relationship

between quick assets i.e. (current assets – inventories) & current liabilities. An asset is

said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short span of period without

loss of value.

Importance of Liquid Ratio

If a company one is analyzing looks good while testing it against the Current Ratio,

then the Quick Ratio should be your next test to apply.  Companies with steadily

rising Inventories may look good with the Current Ratio, but will have a deteriorating

effect on the Quick Ratio, since we subtract the Inventory out. The Quick Ratio rising

over time is favorable.

Quick Ratio =Current Assets – Inventories

Current Liabilities

3. Cash to Current Assets Ratio

This ratio basically measures what percentage of the current assets is formed by the

cash component. This is a more stringent measure of liquidity as it considers the most

liquid current asset.

Importance of Cash to Current Assets Ratio

High or increasing Cash to Current Assets ratio is generally a positive sign, showing

the company's liquid assets represent a larger portion of its Total Current Assets. 

It also indicates the company may be better able to convert its non-liquid assets, such

as inventory, into cash.

4. Sales to Current Assets Ratio

The Sales to Current Assets ratio measures how well a company is making use of its

assets in generating sales.  This ratio is most valid in industries where companies hold

the majority of their own inventories in-house, as opposed to having their customers

hold their inventory for them.

Importance of Sales to Current Assets

The Sales to Current Assets ratio is best measured over several periods compared to

industry averages, as the amount of Current Assets varies widely among companies

and industries. Decreasing Sales to Current Assets ratio is generally a negative

sign, indicating the company may have slowed production, decreasing the amount of

inventory and resultantly the Current Assets.

5. Working Capital Turnover Ratio

The Working Capital Turnover ratio measures the company's Net Sales from the

Working Capital generated. Note that another ratio exists, the Sales to Working

Capital Ratio also measures Net Sales to Working Capital. We chose to interchange

the usual components of Working Capital (Total Current Assets - Total Current

Liabilities) with an alternate method (shown above).  With two similar ratios using

slightly different methods to compute Working Capital, plotting both of these ratios

together to see their differences would be wise.

Importance of Working Capital Turnover

A high or increasing Working Capital Turnover is usually a positive sign, showing

the company is better able to generate sales from its Working Capital.  Either the

company has been able to gain more Net Sales with the same or smaller amount of

Working Capital, or it has been able to reduce its Working Capital while being able to

maintain its sales.  Efforts to streamline the operations of the company will often

show favorably in this ratio.

6. Sales to Working Capital Ratio

The Sales to Working Capital ratio measures how well the company's cash is being

used to generate sales.  Working Capital represents the major items typically closely

tied to sales, and each item will directly affect this ratio. 

Importance of Sales to Working Capital

An increasing Sale to Working Capital ratio is usually a positive sign, indicating the

company is more able to use its working capital to generate sales. Although

measuring the performance of a company for just one period reveals how well it is

using its cash for that single period, this ratio is much more effectively used over a

number of periods.  This ratio can help uncover questionable management decisions

such as relaxing credit requirements to potential customers to increase sales,

increasing inventory levels to reduce order fulfillment cycle times, and slowing

payment to vendors and suppliers in an effort to hold on to its cash.

4. Net Profit Margin

1. Return on Assets (ROA)

ROA is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA

tells how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. The ROA

figure gives investors an idea of how effectively the company is converting the

money it has to invest into net income. The higher the ROA number, the better,

because the company is earning more money on less investment.

2. Return on Equity (ROE)

Page 43: Ratio Analysis Iffico

The return on equity is net profit after taxes divided by average equity. It measures the

rate of return on the ownership interest of the common stock owners. It measures a

firm's efficiency at generating profits from every unit of shareholders' equity. ROE

shows how well a company uses investment funds to generate earnings growth.

Return on Equity (ROE) = Profit After Tax

3. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)

ROCE is used to prove the value the business gains from its assets and liabilities, a

business which owns lots of land but has little profit will have a smaller ROCE to a

business which owns little land but makes the same profit.

It basically can be used to show how much a business is gaining for its assets, or how

much it is losing for its liabilities.

4. Net Profit Margin

Net Profit Margin ratio is measured by dividing profit after tax by sales:

Net Profit Margin = Profit After Tax

Sales

Importance of Net Profit Margin

Net profit margin ratio establishes a relationship between net profit and sales and

indicates management’s efficiency in manufacturing, administering and selling the

products. This ratio is the overall measure of the firm’s ability to turn each rupee sales

into net profit.

AnalysisThe inventory turnover ratio at IFFCO is 19.040 in 2012-13. It means that that the

company is turning its inventory of finished goods into sales 19.040 times in a year and is in

good position. There had been a decrease in the inventory turnover ratio from 7.479 in 2012-

10 to 5.036 in 2010-11. During this period, there was a large amount of inventory in the

company because of the purchase of the Paradeep production plant. During all other period,

the turnover is always increasing.

AnalysisThe Inventory to Working Capital Ratio measures how well the company is able to

generate cash using working capital at its current inventory level. An increasing inventory to

working capital ratio is generally a negative sign, showing the company may be having

operational problems. If a company has too much working capital invested in inventory, they

may have difficulty having enough working capital to make payments on short term liabilities

and accounts payable.

Inventory to working capital ratio for IFFCO has been decreasing consistently with

increasing very marginally in the year 2011-12 and in 2012-13.

Inventory (in Crores) Current Assets (in crores)Inventory to Current Assets Ratio

AnalysisThe Inventory to Current Assets Ratio measures that how much percentage of current

assets is formed by the inventories. An increasing inventory to current assets ratio is a

negative sign. It means that more & more percentage of current assets is being constituted by

the inventories. This indicates poor operational efficiency of the organization. Also it shows

that the funds invested in current assets to meet obligations on a short notice are actually

illiquid to some extent and it may be difficult to convert them into cash immediately.

Normally, less than 50 % of current assets are treated as average position of inventory.

IFFCO has shown a decrease in this ratio over the past years, which indicates a GOOD

inventory position for IFFCO and, the ratio was never been above 38%.

AnalysisThe Inventory to Sales Ratio measures the percentage of inventory the company currently

has on hand to support the current amount of sales. An increasing Inventory to Sales ratio is

generally a negative sign, showing the company may be having trouble keeping inventory

down and/or Net Sales have slowed, and can sometimes indicate larger financial problems the

company may be facing. 

As per the data of IFFCO, this ratio had increased initially till the year 2010-11but is falling

down consistently after that time, which is a POSITIVE sign indicating good movement of

inventory.

Debtors (in Crores) Current Assets (in crores)Debtors to Current Assets Ratio

AnalysisDebtors to Current Assets Ratio indicates the position of debtors in total current assets.

This ratio is calculated by debtors with current assets. If debtors are average or less than

average, it indicates proper realization of debtors. On the other hand, if debtors are very

heavy in respect of other current assets, it indicates poor recovery of the company.

As Per the table, the Debtors to Current Assets Ratio for IFFCO decreased from 2008-09 to

2009-10 and then increased in the year 2011-12 and then decreasing onwards. The decrease is

a healthy sign showing proper realization of debts in 2012-13.

Analysis

Working capital is directly related with the position of debtors. If debtors are lower as

compared to Working Capital, then it indicates proper and smooth utilization of working

capital. But on the other hand, the amount of debtor is very large in that condition, Working

capital blocked and operational efficiency is directly affected.

From the data, it can be seen that this ratio for IFFCO has been decreasing which is good for

the company. There was a increment in the year 2011-12 due to increase in the debtors but

Debt (in Crores) Equity (in crores) Debt to Equity Ratio

Analysis

The ratio shows the extent to which debt financing has been used in the business. A high ratio

means that claims of creditors are greater than those of owners. A high level of debt

introduces inflexibility in the firm’s operations due to the increasing interference and pressure

from creditors. A low debt-equity ratio implies a greater claim of owners than capital.

At IFFCO, this ratio is increasing every year. It means that increase in debt of the

company is more than the increase in the equity. In the year 2012-13, it increased to 3.234

from 1.837 in the year 2011-12 because of the major increase in the short term loans from the

banks.

Quick Assets (in Crores) Current Liabilities (in crores)Quick Ratio

Analysis

Position of Liquid ratio is very good. The Quick Ratio of 1:1 is considered to be

satisfactory. This is so because if the quick assets are equal to the current liabilities then the

company may be able to meet its entire short-term obligations pretty conveniently.

The quick ratio of the company is above 1 for all the five years. The quick ratio was 3.161

and 3.061 during the year 2010-11and 2011-12 respectively. This is due to large amount of

inventory at IFFCO during that period. However, the reason for this is the purchase of

Paradeep production plant during that period.

working capital more efficiently with the passing years. The decrease of the ratio in the previous

years was due to the increase in inventory holding which was required for the Paradeep production

plant.

figure gives investors an idea of how effectively the company is converting the money it

has to invest into net income. The higher the ROA number, the better, because the company

is earning more money on less investment.

At IFFCO, the ROA is increasing from the year 2010-11 which is good for the company.

Earlier it was decreasing as there was increase in the assets due to purchase of the production

FINDINGS

After the analysis of the components of current assets & current liabilities and the

trends of working capital, we find that

Current assets are increasing more than current liabilities. But the current ratio has

decreased as the percentage increase in current liabilities is more than the current

assets.

Cash and Bank Balances have decreased during this period which indicates proper

utilization of funds at IFFCO.

Position of inventory is Very Good in current assets (22.564%). Inventory Turnover

Ratio increases consistently, which shows greater degree of utilization of inventory

during the study period.

Position of Debtors to Current Assets is 5.307%. This ratio had decreased during this

period with an increase in the year 2011-12. This increase was due to the significant

increase in the debts of the company.

Loans and Advances are increasing every year and contribute majorly to current

assets. This means that the company is not facing any problem to get the required

short term financing.

Large part of working capital is involved in maintaining inventory and it depends on

the level of inventory every year.

Working capital of the company had increased till 2010-11after which it has remain

constant with small changes.

Debt to equity ratio increased during the year 2012-13 as the debt increased due to

increase in short term borrowings.

Inventory as a component of current assets was high during the beginning of the

period after which it has continuously decreasing.

Net profit margin decreased in the year 2012-13 because of the significant increase in

the raw material prices and consequent increase in subsidy. Looking on the trends,

IFFCO has been able to manage the profits.

The major variation in the ratios during this period is due to the purchase of Paradeep

production plant.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

Working capital is one of the most important aspects of operational efficiency of business.

Working Capital plays a very important role in the functioning of any organization. Both the

current assets and current liabilities are very much influencing factors on the working

capital of an organization.

After the discussion and analysis of the financial position of IFFCO Ltd., it is clear that the

working capital of IFFCO is in sound position. Working capital is not measurable by only

current assets & current liabilities but there are some other factors also that have an

influence on the working capital.

In current assets, there are two most important factors, Debtors and Inventory that affect

working capital. In IFFCO Ltd., Inventory and Debtors are efficiently managed to strengthen

the position of the organization both in short term and long terms.

After analyzing and interpreting the financial data of INDIAN FARMERS FERTILIZER

COOPERATIVE LIMITED (IFFCO) with the help of Ratio Analysis, the following

suggestions were given to the organization for further betterment & improvement in the

working capital:

The present status and levels of current assets is extremely good and therefore it

requires proper maintenance.

The current percentage of inventory is high which is not good for operational

efficiency and sound working capital and thus, it need to be controlled by using

various inventory management techniques such as JIT or Kanban. Another alternative

would be to have varying stock or inventory levels during the different seasons or

even months and, thereby, altering the production to suit such needs.

Cash balances have a lower percentage in current assets. This requires some concern

as cash and bank balances are the most liquid of all current assets.

As the sales turnover majorly consists of subsidiary, the company shall also depend

less on subsidy which is dependent on the annual budget fixed by the government of

India, i.e., when the total outflow of any financial year is more than the budgeted

Page 69: Ratio Analysis Iffico

69

subsidiary, the manufacturers/ importers have to wait for additional budget or their

subsidiary get realized in the next financial year.

As the Government of India wants the fertilizers to be supplied at minimum price,

they are compensating manufacturers/ importers by means of subsidy. The

government should device a method whereby the price of fertilizers should increase

every year to some extent. This will reduce the subsidy burden on the government and

companies will be able to realize cash against their sales.

CONCLUSION The organization IFFCO is basically a Farmer’s Organization. It functions in the

cooperative sector of India and is owned by the Government of India along with the

cooperative societies. IFFCO is one of the most profitable and financially secure

fertilizer companies in India.

The generation of funds through sale is a seasonal factor. 70% of Sales activity in the

business of fertilizers is in Monsoons and the balance 30% is spread throughout the

rest of the year. The month from April to September is known as Kharif Season and

from October to March is known as Rabi Season. Thus, it becomes imperative for the

organization to have such cash management system in place that would enable the

organization to plan the excess cash obtained during surplus periods and ploughs them

back into the operations of the organization during deficit periods.

The Cash Management System at IFFCO is very sound and efficient. It has enabled

the organization to manage its funds in a proper manner resulting in better utilization

and availability of funds in cash deficit periods.

Today IFFCO has a tie up with banks such as IOB, HSBC Bank, ICICI Bank that are

providing IFFCO with facilities such as cash management services, personalized

financial MIS to enable IFFCO to accelerate the collection and payment of funds,

debit sweep option, Anywhere banking facility, etc. All these facilities have helped

IFFCO in having faster, more secure and more reliable collection and payments of

funds and cheques from its various Area/State Offices.

However, despite all the advantages of this New Cash Management System such as

receiving the proceeds from the sale of fertilizers within First day of sale, reduction

in the amount of interest loss suffered by IFFCO due to late arrival of payments, daily

report of deposits made at various locations, location wise report, credit forecast

report, monthly cumulative report date wise/ location wise, monthly charging

statement, monthly cheque return statement, customized reports as per mutual

agreement etc. the cash management system can be further improved.
