Need help with the Financial Analysis below.

Attached are the financial statements for Wal-Mart for 2014 and 2015. Also the instructions on how to perform a vertical and horizontal analysis as well as the ratios that need to be calculated can be found in the attached PowerPoint starting on slide 6.

Part 1

Perform a vertical and horizontal analysis of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.?s income statements and balance sheets as of January 31, 2015. In performing this analysis, consider any notable trends or changes that you observe that may provide useful information concerning its financial condition. Also use as many years? worth of statements as you feel necessary. You should write up your results in paragraph form.

Part 2

Assess Wal-Mart, Stores Inc. concerning liquidity, solvency, profitability, and stock performance as of January 31, 2015. For each area, you should calculate the ratios we discussed in class and provide an analysis of the ratios calculated. I include historical stock price information and outstanding common share information below.

Fiscal Year Ended	1/31/2015	1/31/2014	1/31/2013	1/31/2012
Adjusted Closing Price	$83.94	$71.97	$65.79	$56.32

ACT 5060 - Accounting for Decision Makers Appendix A - Financial Analysis ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Financial Analysis Assessing past performance Predicting future performance Comparisons Identifying trends ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Sources of Information Financial statements Footnotes to financial statements Summary of accounting principles used Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD & A) Auditor's report Comparative financial data in 10-K ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Financial Analysis Tools Looking at statements as a whole Vertical analysis / Horizontal analysis Ratio analysis ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Vertical & Horizontal Analysis Figures in statements as a % of base Allows for comparison of firms of different sizes and of different time periods Helps us to identify trends and changes in relative size of figures I/S - base is net sales B/S - base is total assets ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Ratio Analysis Over time (horizontal analysis) Other companies or industry averages Benchmarks ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Ratio Analysis Categories Short-term solvency (liquidity) Long-term solvency Profitability performance Stock performance ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Short-Term Solvency Liquidity Current ratio Working capital Acid-test ratio Inventory turnover Days sales in inventory A/R turnover Days sales in receivables Free cash flow ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Short-Term Solvency Assessment Some of these ratios are skewed by the litigation charge since it was classified as a current liability last year and was paid out this year. This results in the current ratio, working capital, and the acid-test ratio being relatively low last year. They have all increased this year, but are still lower than 2 years ago. Even though they are lower, none indicate a problem with short-term solvency. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Short-Term Assessment (2) Although days to collect increased again, A/R is a relatively small component of total assets, making the increase less of a worry. A good sign is that days to sell decreased again, this time by nearly 9 days. This means Starbucks on average sold inventory 11 days quicker than just 2 years ago. Free cash flow was negative this year, largely because the litigation charge was paid. Without this, FCF would have increased in the current year. Also, purchases of PPE have increased significantly the last 2 years. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Long-Term Financial Condition Solvency Debt-to-equity ratio Times-interest earned ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Long-Term Assessment Debt to equity increased significantly the last 2 years, largely due to an increase in debt. In the previous year, a decrease in equity also caused this to increase. Normally a negative interest coverage ratio (last year) 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 last year. The firm does not appear to be in any danger of not being able to meet interest payments or their long-term obligations. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Performance Analysis Profitability performance Stock performance ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Profitability Performance Asset turnover Return on sales Gross margin % Return on assets Return on equity Average interest rate ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Profitability Assessment This is skewed by the litigation charge last year. While it is certainly an issue, there are some positive things to say about profitability. The gross margin % has increased for the second 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. Also, \"store operating expenses\" (a major expense) has also decreased as a % of total net revenues. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Profitability Assessment (2) One bad sign is that asset turnover decreased significantly. This means that its assets generated less sales than in the past. This is a sign that a company has over saturated the market place. After taking out the impact of the litigation charge for the past 2 years, return on sales and ROA both decreased this year. Although higher than 2 years ago, the decrease this year is not positive. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Profitability Assessment (3) Shareholders should be pleased with the high ROE. After removing the litigation charges, Starbucks experienced significant positive financial leverage (ROE > ROA) over this time period. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo DuPont Analysis of ROA This allows us to analyze the two \"components\" of ROA Asset turnover x Return on Sales Helpful when assessing reasons for changes in ROA Can also be applied to ROE ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo DuPont Analysis of ROA ROA and ROE are both negatively impacted by the litigation charge last year. If this is removed, ROA and ROE both increased last year. The DuPont analysis shows that asset turnover decreased, but the return on sales increased. The increase on return on sales outweighed the decrease in asset turnover. In the current period, both decreased, leading to a decrease in ROA. ROE increased because of the positive financial leverage. ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Stock Performance Is this stock appropriate for me? Growth investors vs. Income investors Book value per share Earnings per share Price earnings ratio Dividend yield Dividend payout ACT 5060 Appendix A Felo Stock Performance Assessment 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 5060 Appendix A Felo Stock Performance (2) EPS, P/E ratio, and dividend payout ratios are skewed by the litigation charge last year. The past and \"adjusted\" P/E ratios indicate that the market was expecting Starbucks to grow significantly. As we see by the adjusted closing prices, it has grown quite significantly, although it did decrease this past year. This is likely due to the litigation, as the charge was not announced until after 9/29/13. The fact that Starbucks has increased its dividend payout ratio may indicate it is trying to \"shift\" into a hybrid stock (growth and income).
