9.what is your overall evaluation of HTCM’s financial condition?
10. What is the market’s assessment of HTCM’s financial condition? Explain. Does the market’s assessment confirm or refute your analysis?
11. Based on your evaluation of HTCM and the market’s assessment of the firm, would you accept employment with the company? Explain.
9) The financial condition of the company depends on six key 6 key ratios namely current ratio, quick ratio, return on equity (ROE), earnings per share (EPS), price to earnings (P/E) and debt to equity (D/E). From the given data, all these parameters have improved simultaneously.
Current ratio has improved from 2.04x in CY15 to 1.53x in CY16, quick ratio also improved from 0.99x in CY15 to 0.71x in CY17, ROE also grew from 14.70% in 29.60% in CY17, EPS grew from $ 0.71 in CY15 to $ CY1.78 & hence P/E ratio has declined from 24.3x to 10.4x during the same period, D/E also improved from 94.70% to 229.80% in the same period. Hence, HTCM’s financial condition sounds healthy.
10) Sales grew at a compunded annual growth rate (cagr) of 17% from CY15 to CY17. EBITDA margins grew by 130 bps from 2.2% in CY15 to 3.5% in CY17. Similarly, Net Income margins (PAT to Sales) also grew from 2.2% in CY15 to 3.5% in CY17. Dividend payout ratio consistent at 0.3 of Net Income. The FCFF (free cashflow to the firm) is declined from $-1611.2 in CY16 to $-1314.8 to CY17 due to increase in capital expenditure during the same period, which is fine. So, market’s assessment of HTCM’s financial condition will confirm my analyses.
CY16 | CY17 | |
EBIT | 3,221 | 5,626 |
Tax rate | 0.34 | 0.34 |
Depreciation | 908 | 1292 |
Capex | 2,780 | 3,838 |
Change in WC | 1,865 | 2,482 |

11) Based on my evaluation of HTCM and the market’s assessment of the firm, I would accept employment with the company because every financial parameters is improving which states that the company is doing good in its business operations. It will be a good opportunity to work for this company due to sound career progression.
