Explanation / Answer

The company has a very stable operation as evident from the stable Gross profit and operating profit.

The Gross profit ratio (which is the % of Gross profit to Sales) is 83.29% in 2016, having marginally increased from 83.04% in 2014.

The operating expenses as percentage of sales are also consistent, which resulted in operating income of 14.94% (close to 15%) on sales. However, as against the marginal increase in Gross profit percentage in 2016, the operating income as a percentage of sales, has marginally reduced from 15.07% (5565000/36918000*100) in 2014 to 14.94%. This could be due to marginal increase in operating expenses. Hence, the advantage gained from trading benefits is offset by the increase in operating expenses.

There was significant reduction in Non recurring expenses in 2016, compared to the previous years. As a result, a sharp increase in Net income is observed in 2016. Net income after tax as a % of sales in 2016 is 7%, as against 5.1% in 2014. This increased bottom line has resulted in increase in EPS by 75% ((7.3-4.16)/4.16*100=75%).

The Trend analysis statement shows the trend of various items by keeping a base year, which is 2014. Similarly, in common size statement, all items of income and expenses are presented as a % of sales. All the above analysis, can be inferred from the Trend analysis statement and common size statement.
