REVERSE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Organizations that operate in the same industry have similar corporate and financial decisions, leading to similar financial characteristics. With some knowledge of the different operating, investing, and financing decisions across industries, financial ratios may be used to identify an industry (see Exhibit 1 for the definition of ratios used).

In this problem, using the financial statement data provided in Exhibits 2, 3, and 4, you are required to match the companies with their industry. Use the EXCEL template (Reverse_template.xls) provided to answer the problem. The list of industries is provided below.

The list of industries is as below:

Liquor producer and distributor

Discount airline

Commercial bank (items fitted into the same categories as the non-financial firms)

Computer software company

Large integrated oil and gas company

Mobile phone service operator

R&D-based pharmaceutical manufacturer

Retail grocery company

R&D-based semiconductor manufacturer

The template provided to you has 5 columns. The first column is the broader classification of industries such as Retail, Financial, High-Tech etc. The second column is the same list of industries as provided above. The third column describes the financial characteristics of these industries. These characteristics should help you in matching the companies to the industries. You are free to do some additional research, if required, on the specific industry to understand its financial characteristics.

You need to fill columns 4 (Company No.) and column 5 (Reason). The reason should clearly articulate why did you match a specific company to a specific industry, focussing on the ratios and other data provided to you.

An airline might be more capital intensive High technology industries would be expected to have high research and development R&D-based semiconductor intensity (ratio of R&D expenses to sales), and high return on sales (patent protection, manufacturer brand value). They may also have low debt ratios because of the low collateral value of intangibles or growth opportunities. High technology industries would be expected to have high research and development intensity (ratio of R&D expenses to sales), and high return on sales (patent protection, R&D-based pharmaceutical brand value). They may also have low debt ratios because of the low collateral value of High-Tech manufacturer intangibles or growth opportunities. A pharmaceutical manufacturer would be Industry expected to have the high gross profit margin and high inventories, and a high day's inventory.
