Question #1

Using the accompanying financial statements (Excel Workbook), assess The Home Depot concerning liquidity, solvency, profitability, and stock performance. For each area, you should calculate the ratios we discussed in class and provide a brief analysis of the ratios calculated. You do not need to perform vertical analysis for this assignment. I include historical stock price information and outstanding common share information below.

You do not need to look beyond the financial statements to complete this assignment. Use attachments as reference.

classified as a current liability two years ago and was paid out last year. This results in the current ratio, working capital, and the acid-test ratio being relatively low two years ago. They all increased last year, but then decreased this year. The main reason is that current liabilities increased fairly significantly this year. Even though the current ratio, working capital, and acid-test ratio are fairly low this year, none indicate a problem with short-term solvency. ACT 5140 Chat 1 Felo Short-Term Assessment (2) Days to collect A/R decreased back to the level from two years ago. Since A/R is a relatively small component of total assets, the decrease is not very significant. A good sign is that days to sell decreased again. This means Starbucks on average sold inventory 11 days quicker than just 2 years ago. Free cash flow was quite large this year, even though purchases of PPE were the largest over the time period. This is because of a large amount of CFO. All in all, I classify short-term solvency as a strength of Starbucks.

Two years ago a decrease in equity also caused this to increase. Normally a negative interest coverage ratio (two years ago) is a very bad sign. Although I am sure Starbucks would prefer that it was positive, we can again attribute this to the litigation charge. Without that, it would have been highly positive. The firm does not appear to be in any danger of not being able to meet interest payments or their long-term obligations.

While it is certainly an issue, profitability is generally positive. The gross margin % has increased for the third year in a row. It is especially important because the days to sell decreased, meaning Starbucks sold its products faster while increasing prices faster than cost of sales increased. Another positive sign is that asset turnover increased significantly. This means that its assets generated more sales than in the past. This is especially important since it decreased the previous year. ACT 5140 Chat 1 Felo Profitability Assessment (2) Return on sales increased this year. This means that income increased faster than did sales revenue. Another way of saying it is that each dollar of sales generated more income. Either way, it is a good sign. ROA also increased, meaning each dollar of assets generated more income than in the last year. ACT 5140 Chat 1 Felo Profitability Assessment (3) Shareholders should be pleased with the high ROE. Starbucks experienced significant positive financial leverage (ROE > ROA) over this time period. About the only negative thing is the average interest rate increased again. Since it is well below ROA, it is not likely to be an issue.

However, both are significantly higher this year than two years ago, even after adjusting for the litigation charge. The DuPont analysis shows that asset turnover and return on sales both increased this year. This means that each dollar of assets generated more sales and each dollar of sales generated more income. ROE increased because of the increase in ROA and because of positive financial leverage. ACT 5140 Chat 1 Felo Stock Performance Is this stock appropriate for me?

This doubled the number of shares of stock available. All numbers have been adjusted for this. I would classify Starbucks as more of a growth stock. There is a substantial \"gap\" between book and market value. This indicates relatively high risk, meaning investors expect it to have relatively high growth. Although it has started paying dividends, they provide a relatively small yield. ACT 5140 Chat 1 Felo Stock Performance (2) The past and \"adjusted\" P/E ratios indicate that the market was expecting Starbucks to grow significantly, as they are well above the market average of 16. As we see by the adjusted closing prices, it has grown quite significantly. The fact that Starbucks has increased its dividends per share may indicate it is trying to \"shift\" into a hybrid stock (growth and income). However, the increase has not kept pace with increases in EPS and stock price. We know that because dividend payout and dividend yield decreased this year.

One item of note is the % of revenue coming from company-operated stores. Decreasing this is part of Starbuck's strategy. In the past few years this % decreased, but it increased this year. Since the litigation was related to CPG, the increase in the % of sales from company-operated sales may be the result of the litigation. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo I/S Assessment - 2 A second item of note is the consistent decrease in cost of sales as a % of total net revenues. This means that Starbucks was able to increase its prices faster than its cost of sales increased every year. Store operating expenses also increased more slowly than did total net revenues until this year, where they increased a little faster than did total net revenues. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo I/S Assessment - 3 Operating income as a % of total net revenues increased this year. This means operating income increased more than did total net sales. If we remove the impact of the litigation from the middle 2 years, we see a nice steady increase in the percentage. This is a good sign for Starbucks. Net earnings attributable to Starbucks also increased as a % of total net revenues. This is also a good sign for Starbucks. Taken all together, this analysis is quite positive for Starbucks.

While this may be more risky with respect to liquidity, it is likely to result in greater long-term growth, as long-term assets generally produce higher returns than do current assets. We see that cash and short-term investments have both decreased as a percentage of total assets. This is likely because Starbucks is investing in longterm assets (using the cash and investments to pay for them) and because the cash and investments were used to pay for at least part of the litigation charge. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo Balance Sheet Assessment - 2 Property and equipment increased as a % of total assets. This means these grew faster than did total assets. Goodwill also increased (fairly substantially) as a % of total assets. These are both consistent with Starbucks investing in higher growth assets (new stores and buying other companies). The one potential downside is that Starbucks may be adding new stores too quickly. This got Starbucks in trouble several years back. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo Balance Sheet Assessment - 3 Current liabilities as a % of total assets increased slightly this year. Increases in accounts payable (purchases of inventory on credit) and stored value cards (gift cards) explain most of this increase. Accrued liabilities as a % of total assets also increased this year. This could be a way for Starbucks to conserve cash. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo Balance Sheet Assessment - 4 Long-term debt as a % of total assets decreased a bit this year after a large increase the year before. This debt was probably used for the litigation payment and the p&e purchases. While adding long-term debt is risky, the solvency analysis shows Starbucks is not in any danger of missing debt payments. Borrowing now at historically low interest rates is a smart move.

This doubled the number of shares of stock available. All numbers have been adjusted for this. I would classify Starbucks as more of a growth stock. There is a substantial \"gap\" between book and market value. This indicates relatively high risk, meaning investors expect it to have relatively high growth. Although it has started paying dividends, they provide a relatively small yield. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo Stock Performance (2) The past and \"adjusted\" P/E ratios indicate that the market was expecting Starbucks to grow significantly, as they are well above the market average of 16. As we see by the adjusted closing prices, it has grown quite significantly. The fact that Starbucks has increased its dividends per share may indicate it is trying to \"shift\" into a hybrid stock (growth and income). However, the increase has not kept pace with increases in EPS and stock price. We know that because dividend payout and dividend yield decreased this year. ACT 5140 Chat 2 Felo
