I have updated this free template. The KEY changes in the new version is that it uses Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) to analyze operating performance of a company by breaking ROIC down into its components. Thus you can have one ratio - ROIC to analyze all the operating parameters of a company.
You can also use your own estimates of Margins, Fixed Asset Turnover, Working Days, etc and see what impact your assumptions have on the ROIC. I have given historical ranges of these inputs so that one can make informed estimates.
Have inserted some charts for the relevant data so that it can be analysed visually. Also, ROIC is calculated using Fixed Asset/Working Capital turnover (Asset/Sales) instead of %s used earlier.
As a side note: You will observe that Income Tax rates have declined by 10% in the past 3 years! Hence part of the reason net profits have increased for many companies is because of this huge deduction in IT rates. Thus, it makes sense to analyze operational performance using pre-tax ratios
Hi Amol. Very well thought-out Excel. Greatly appreciate that you have shared it here for free. One question - does Screener allow use of more than one template? I also have one from Dr. Vijay Malik and would like to use both for some time…
