Tiivistelmä
The aim of this paper is to give a financial analysis of Banqsoft AS. This is mainly done by calculating key performance indicators for the company between 2010 and 2013, and by benchmarking these ratios to those of other companies from the software industry (in which Banqsoft operates). Further on, the paper looks at the cost structure of the company in order to give an idea of how much capital is required to finance the operations after the biggest shareholder will be withdrawing from the company.
The calculations are illustrated both numerically and graphically, with a written analysis of each ratio. The different ratios and their analyses are connected to draw a bigger picture, based on key findings and recommendations are made.
The most important key finding is that the company seems to be running well, both compared to itself (trend analysis) and compared to other companies from the same industry. The company is amongst the most profitable companies of those observed in this paper. The company is also well able to manage short-term debt, and the company’s cash flow is positive. On the flipside, the company does seem to be quite highly leveraged, largely due to a low amount of equity, and ratios that illustrate this are likely to worsen when their biggest shareholder withdraws from the company.
