Suggestion to Stakeholders:

1 Creditors

They need to concentrate on Liquidity Ratios and Credit Turnover ratio

If we look at the Maruti’s Mar’12 figures it shows that Maruti can pay its obligation as compared to Tata Mar’12 value of 6

Also Quick ratio figure are better for Maruti when compared to Tata

2 Banking and Financial Institute

They need to look at the following ratios:

Profitability Ratios including Gross Profit, Operating Profit and Net Profit Ratio

Operating Profit figures for Maruti and Tata are comparable but Net Profit Ratio for Maruti exceeds Tata by considerable margin

Also, Debtor Turnover Ratio and Creditor Turnover Ratio needs to be considered Maruti takes 43 days while Tata takes 79 days For both the companies, figures have improved from the last year but debtors and creditors days should not be stretched as per the industry standard or peer review

Debt Service Coverage Ratio: shows whether the company will have enough cash accrual to pay of its term loan instalments and interest payment

Liquidity Ratio: Mainly Current Ratio As per bank standard, ideal CR is 1.33 Tata is less than 1 so the company is using its short term funds for long term purposes which is not a good sign & company should maintain

a CR of atleast 1.33 hence, company should bring in more money to pay off its current liability

3 Investor

They will consider:

Earning per share

Price Earning Ratio

If P/E is high, share is overpriced and if P/E is low share is underpriced Values needs to be compared with the industry standards, Maruti’s Mar

’12 figures at 2.3 are favourable

4 Government

They will consider:

Liquidity Ratio

Leverage Ratio

Government has to look whether the company is able to pay its

obligations and need to keep a check on bankcrupty condition

5 Management

Ratios need to be looked upon by management are:

Current Ratio

Debt Equity

Profitability Ratio

Return on Capital Employed

Return On Assets

Management will check all the ratios as different ratios concern different departments and they have to satisfy various stakeholders too

Company must add value to the shareholder to maximise the return on investment

Maruti’s Mar’12 figures it shows that Maruti can pay its obligation as compared to Tata Mar’12

Also , Maruti’s profitability ratios shows a good picture for the company depicting that management is playing a vital role and managing activites inline with the requirements

Improvement area for Tata

 Should improve upon its liquidity position as its current ratio and quick ratio are much below the industry standards

 Should try to reduce its operating expenses by taking the benefit from economies of scale and reduce the interest cost so as to improve upon the profitability ratios

 Once profitability will improve, ROE, ROA, EPS and P/E will

improve automatically

Improvement area for Maruti

 Since the Current ratio is 1.7, hence there is a room for managing current asset in a better way without reducing the ratio below 1.33, which is considered good

 Since quick ratio is very low as compared to current ratio it shows that there is a lot of dependence on inventory and other assets

which cannot be liquidated on an immediate manner and there is

a scope of better current asset management

 Company can plan some big expansion for which banks would more than willing to support since the company is having a very minimal debt on its books and has a very healthy cash accrual YOY basis

As per the facts and figures, Maruti should be rated higher than Tata Different stakeholders will have different reasons to justify that like for banks Maruti is low leveraged or rather not leveraged, has a good

liquidity position, has a better profitability, for investors Maruti has a better earnings per share and an under priced share as per the

fundamental analysis likewise in almost all the parameter Maruti is in a better position than Tata
