From the Financial Report of both the ITC and HUL , It can be seen that
HULs profit is less in present year than previous year but by very little
margin, whereas ITCs profit increased than in previous year and at a
high margin. Through the financial report it shows that the stock turnover
was more in HUL than in ITC for the year 2015-2016 but the sale turnover
was higher in ITC than HUL. This may be the reason of the way ITC
introduced its large brand variations and wider distribution channel to
capture the market throughout the world.

Ratio Analysis of ITC and HUL


With some of these following ratios the comparison of both the companies
effective position can be measured.
1. Current Ratio- ITCs Current ratio is 1.654 which seems to be good
enough for a company as one company should have to maintain the
current ratio between 1 to 2, otherwise the company is not efficient
enough. Whereas HULs Current ratio is 1.03 which seems to be less
efficient but on a safe position.
2. Quick Ratio- ITCs Quick Ratio is 1.07 whereas HULs Quick Ratio
is 0.75. This shows that ITC have the better liquidity position than HUL
as Higher the quick ratio, the company can cover up for every
particular liquidity asset value.
3. Working Capital Turnover Ratio- ITCs WC T/O ratio is 3.343
which shows that the company is using the short term assets and
liabilities to secure and support sales. Whereas HULs WC T/O ratio
is much higher which indicates that the company does not have
enough capital to support sales which can lead to stage of collapsing.
4. Return on Asset Ratio- ITCs ROA is 77.84% that shows how better
they are converting the money used for purchasing goods into net
17
incomes and profits in an efficient way. HULs ROA is 29.08% which
shows less efficiency in calculating net incomes and profit.
5. Earnings Per Share Ratio- ITCs EPS is Rs-12.23 Whereas HULs
EPS is Rs-18.83 and this shows that the HUL is generating good
income through efficient utilising of stocks than ITC. Still the investors
cannot rely only on financial aspect as they expect high return at low
prices per share and according to the latest financial report ITC
stepped over HUL.
6. Inventory Turnover Ratio- ITCs Inventory turnover ratio is 4.46
whereas HULs is 12.26 that implies that HUL is generating sales for
a given amount of inventory. But as per the financial standing ITC
having low inventory turnover ratio still they are generating good sales
from their own amount of inventory.
7. Net Profit Ratio- ITCs NPR is 26.72% whereas HULs is 12.76%
which shows the most efficient company for the year 2015-2016 that
is ITC. It shows how effective they are in managing the financial
system by utilising the capital and budget in a very efficient manner.
