If we compare PSO and Shell Pakistan it is clear that PSO is in better position to pay its liabilities because PSO has 1.4 rupees on average to pay its 1 rupee liability.
2- Quick ratio = current assets- inventories / liabilities Year 2010 2011 2012 PSO 0.8 .73 0.85 Shell Pakistan 0.43 0.46 0.43
Both companies have excess of inventory that disable them to pay 1 rupee of liability on average PSO have 0.8 rupee to fulfil its one rupee liability and shell have 0.45 rupee for one rupee of liability.
3- I nternal measures = current assets / average daily operation cost Average daily operation cost= total cost deprecation interest / 365 year 2010 2011 2012 PSO 99 118 123 Shell Pakistan 50 63 58
From the upper calculated ratios it is clear that PSO has liquidity for more days as compare to shell, for PSO 115 days liquidity is available and shell has 56 days liquidity on average.
Shell Pakistan has average 22% debt financing and PSO has 8 % on average which shows goodness of Pakistan state oil.
2- Debt to equity ratio = total debt / total equity Year 2010 2011 2012 PSO 44% 60% 90% Shell Pakistan 106% 95% 197%
Financial manager think that a good company is that in which debt to equity ratio should be 60 % equity and 40 % debt but in upper both cases PSO has maximum 90 % debt means PSO has 1.9 rupee from debt if company has 1 rupee from equity. But in case of Shell it is quite surprising to see shell has minimum debt to equity ratio is 95% and maximum it has 197 % in the year 2012.
3- Equity multiplier = 1+ total debt/ total equity
Times interest earned ratio is very important from the creditors view point. PSO high ratio ensures a periodical interest income for lenders. Shell is with weak ratio may have to face difficulties in raising funds for their operations.
6- Cash coverage ratio = EBIT depreciation/ interest
The cash coverage ratio is useful for determining the amount of cash available to pay for interest, and is expressed as a ratio of the cash available to the amount of interest to be paid. The ratio should be substantially greater than 1:1both PSO and Shell have good ratio except Shell in 2012 it is very low percentage.
Asset management ratio:
1- I nventory turnover = CGS/ inventory Year 2010 2011 2012 PSO 12.17 8.243 11.18 Shell Pakistan 15.01 11.58 11.71
Days in inventory turnover = 365/ inventory turnover Year 2010 2011 2012 PSO 29.99 44.28 32.65 Shell Pakistan 24.317 31.52 31.17
In this case Shell is doing well then PSO because inventory turnover reflects the efficiency of firm to convert its inventory to sale, PSO has an average 10 inventory turnovers less then shell which is 12.
PSO is good in his collection of receivable rather than shell on average PSO collects its receivables 45 times in a year and shell is behind PSO which collects its receivables 20 times in a year.
PSO is efficiently utilize its NWC to generate sales on other hand Shell has negative NWC.
5- Fixed assets turnover = sales/ net fixed asset
Year 2010 2011 2012 PSO 83.69 83.23 106.36 Shell Pakistan 17.206 19.96 21.94 A financial ratio of net sales to fixed assets. The fixed-asset turnover Ratio measures a company's ability to generate net sales from Fixed-asset investments And PSOS utilisation is good then shell which is Very low as compare to PSO.
The total asset turnover ratio measures the ability of a company to use Its assets to efficiently generate sales in this case Shell is doing well comparatively because it has an average of 5 times. Profitability ratio:
It also reflects the generation of net income from equity and both companies are similar here also. 4- Earnings per share = net income/ no of share outstanding
Upper calculation shoes that PSO earning per share is far better than shell Pakistan.
KARACHI: Despite an energy shortfall, Pakistans oil consumption declined by three percent in FY12 to 19.1 million tonnes as against 19.7 million tonnes recorded in FY11, according to the data of Oil Companies Advisory Committee (OCAC).
This is the second consecutive year that oil consumption has posted a decline. The reduction primarily came from seven percent decline in Furnace oil (FO) sales, which account for approximately 45 percent of total oil consumption in Pakistan.
Despite electricity shortage, cash problems amid circular debt prompted power units to consume lower furnace oil for electricity generation which declined by seven percent to 8.4 million tonnes, said Nauman Khan, an analyst at Topline Securities.
According to estimates, power sector consumed five percent lower FO as the government increased gas supplies by four percent, which is cheaper source of generation for power units as power sector has been given priority over other sectors in terms of gas allocation.
Moreover, liquidity constraints with oil marketing companies (OMCs) also led to restricted FO supplies.Diesel sales declined by one percent to 6.8 million tonnes primarily due to infiltration of smuggled diesel from Iran, whose share in local market has increased in the past few months.
Sales of petrol depicted a robust growth of 21 percent on the back of growing auto market and rising gas curtailment to compressed natural gas (CNG) sector prompting consumers to switch towards gasoline. Its share of total oil consumption rose to 14 percent in FY12 as against 12 percent last year.
Amongst the individual companies, Pakistan State Oil continued to remain the major victim of circular debt with an approximately 80 percent market share in FO segment. The companys sales decline by three percent in FY12 to 12.4 million tonnes but was able to maintain its market share.
Attock Petroleum Limited, on the other hand, benefited from higher petrol sales with the companys sales increasing by 13 percent in the year. Further, company expanded its market share by 1pps to eight percent in FY12.
A major dent came to Shells sales in FY12, down 29 percent, as the company lost its ground in HSD sales that contribute over 55 percent to Shells volume. The companys market share declined by 3pps to 10 percent as against 13 percent in FY12.
