Profitability Ratios are the end all be all. Is the company making money? Or is it not? By looking at the profit ratios, companies identify if they are doing well or if it’s time to make some changes.
= Gross Profit / Net Sales
Is your COG too high? Are your sales too low? Gross Profit Margin tells how much a business charges. If you have a high Gross Profit Margin, then you’re giving your business flexibility to spend on overhead.
= Operating Income / Net Sales
Excluding debt and taxes, does your business make money? Are you able to operate with your cost of goods and overhead? A low operating profit margin may indicate the business has too much overhead, too much expensive cost of goods sold, or too low prices.
= Net Income / Revenues
Does your business put money in your bank account? The Net Income Margin tells you just that by finding how much money is leftover. A High Net Income margin is preferred to a lower one. But results vary based on companies. If a company is growing, they’ll have a negative Net Income Margin to grab market share as opposed to returning profits.
= Net Income / Total Assets
Do your assets generate a return and by how much? If your Return on Assets is low, then you’re assets need updating, changing or managing to better generate profits.
Efficiency Ratios deem how well a company conducts business by guaging inventory, assets, and sales to see how easily the company can make money. These ratios are important for evaluating business processes.
= Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
How quickly do you sell your product? One way to know is to see how your inventory sells. Are you a service based business with sales extended on credit?

A higher Inventory Turnover Ratio points to faster inventory sold while a lower inventory turnover suggests weak sales.
= 365 Days / Inventory Turnover Ratio
How often is inventory sold? A continuation from Inventory Turnover ratio, a high Days of Sales Outstanding means a longer time for credit sales to cash.
= Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
How quickly are your sales landing in the bank account? Are the credit sales paid slowly relative to company’s in your industry? Or do your customers love you so much they pay quicly?
