Economic Analysis
Economic analysis deals with the analysis of operating in the overall
economy. In security analysis, the expected course of the economy must be
inquired into because overall economic conditions and economic activities
affect corporate profits and investors expectations and thereby affect the
security prices in decisions.
Industry Analysis
The profitability of an industry depends upon its stage of growth. These
externalities depend on the availabilities of inputs power and interrelations
between the economy and industry. In India, companies like HUL, ITC,
Colgate, Dabur have been a dominant force in the FMCG sector.
The FMCG sector has grown at an annual average of about 11 per cent over
the last decade. The overall FMCG market is expected to increase at (CAGR)
of 14.7 per cent to touch US$ 110.4 billion during 2012-2020, with the rural
FMCG market anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 17.7 per cent to reach US$
100 billion during 2012-2025. Food products are the leading segment,
accounting for 43 per cent of the overall market. Personal care (22 per cent)
and fabric care (12 per cent) come next in terms of market share.
Growing awareness, easier access, and changing lifestyles have been the key
growth drivers for the consumer market. The Government of India's policies
and regulatory frameworks such as relaxation of license rules and approval of
51 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand and 100 per cent
in single-brand retail are some of the major growth drivers for the consumer
market. According to the study conducted by AC Nielsen, 62 of the top 100
brands are owned by MNCs, and the balance by Indian companies. Fifteen
companies own these 62 brands, and 27 of these are owned by Hindustan
UniLever.

Liquidity Ratios
Interpretation
Current Ratio:
The current ratio is a liquidity and efficiency ratio that measures a ability to
pay off its short-term liabilities with its current assets.
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
A higher current ratio is always more favorable than a lower current ratio
because it shows the company can more easily make current debt payments.
HUL is maintaining a stable current ratio above 1. A current ratio of
1.03 in 2016 would mean that the company has 1.03 times more current
assets than current liabilities. Book value of current assets is almost
the same as book value of current liabilities in case of HUL. It
indicates managerial efficiency. Unilever solely focuses on branding

Inventory turnover:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
The inventory turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio that shows how effectively
inventory is managed by comparing cost of goods sold with average
inventory for a period. This measures how many times average inventory is
"turned" or sold during a period. FMCG goods would normally have higher
inventory turnover ratio because the goods are cheap and are consumed very
fast and on the top they are perishable also.
HUL have a high and increasing inventory ratio which indicates that
the company does not overspend by buying too much inventory and
wastes resources by storing non-salable inventory. It also shows that
the company can effectively sell the inventory it buys, which indicates
the increase in sales.
Receivables turnover:
Receivables turnover = Net revenue /Average Receivables
Receivables turnover ratio measures company's efficiency in collecting its
sales on credit and collection policies.
Receivable turnover ratio of HUL has decreased from 38.5 to 18.06 in
2016 which is bad for the company. The lower the ratio is the longer
receivables are being held and the risk to not be collected increases. A
low receivables turnover ratio implies that the company should reassess its credit policies in order to ensure the timely collection of
credit sales that is not earning interest for the firm.
Payables turnover:
Payables turnover = Purchases/Average payables
The accounts payable turnover ratio is how many times a company can pay
off its average accounts payable balance during the course of a year. The
turnover ratio of HUL is falling from one period to another, this is a
sign that the company is taking longer to pay off its suppliers than it
was before and may be an indicator of worsening financial condition.
Asset turnover:
Asset turnover = Net Revenues / Average total assets
This ratio shows how efficiently a company can use its assets to generate
sales, so a higher ratio is always more favorable. A ratio of .5 means that each
Rupee of assets generates 50 paisa of sales.
HUL has a very high Asset Turnover ratio. Higher turnover ratios
mean the company is using its assets more efficiently.
