hello friends welcome to the investment banking module of Wallstreetmojo
[15]
today's topic is capitalization ratio and friends as you all know that every
[23]
ratio plays a very important role in the financial analysis of any particular
[28]
company capitalization ratio is one of the most important ratio when we are
[33]
deciding on the investment strategy of a particular company and unlike other
[39]
ratios capitalization ratio itself can be divided into three parts basically
[46]
capitalization ratio helps to evaluate how much portion of the company's debt
[52]
is invested into the business operations that means out of the total capital of
[57]
the company how much is the portion of debt the company has and therefore the
[63]
capitalization ratio can be divided into three parts let us try to first
[69]
understand what are the three different capitalization ratio that we have been
[73]
talking about the capitalization ratio formula can be understood in three
[78]
different parts or three different formulas what are they number one debt
[84]
to equity ratio number two long term debt to capitalization ratio and number
[90]
three total debt to capitalization ratio and friends while each of these three
[97]
formulas or each of these three ratios holds at different importance in the
[102]
ratio analysis but all the three can be classified as capitalization ratio why
[109]
because each of these three formula basically helps to evaluate the
[114]
proportion of debt to the total capital of the country let us try to understand
[120]
first what capitalization ratio means capitalization ratio is primary tells us
[126]
how the company is using that debt as part of its financing strategy we have
[132]
already discussed about it basically using capitalization ratio we
[136]
are able to identify how much debt the company is using and total financial
[142]
portion or total investment in the company let us try to understand very
[147]
briefly what each of these three capitalization ratio helps us understand
[151]
let us start a discussion with debt to equity ratio
[156]
what does debt to equity ratio means debt to equity ratio is nothing but
[160]
total debt divided by shareholders equity as you all know that the capital
[167]
of the company can be can be from two sources one equity and the other sources
[173]
is debt equity ratio basically helps us identify how much portion of my total
[180]
capital is dead for example if I am saying a debt to equity ratio of a
[186]
particular company is 2.5 is to 1 or if I am saying the debt equity ratio of a
[194]
company is 2.5 what does it mean it means for every dollar of equity
[200]
invested in the company the company has 2.5 dollars of debt let us try to
[206]
understand this with the help of an example suppose that debt of a company
[211]
is $500,000 and equity of the same company is say 7 $50,000 in that case
[221]
what will be my debt to equity ratio my debt to equity ratio will be $500,000
[230]
/ 750000 dollars that means 0.67 will be my debt to equity
[237]
ratio and what it indicates it indicates for every one dollar of equity invested
[244]
in the company the total amount of debt which is invested in the company will be
[250]
0.67 dollars let us try to compute it suppose in this case my equity was 750000
[257]
dollars and there I am saying what I'm saying the debt equity ratio
[262]
indicates how much debt will be invested in the company for every dollar of
[266]
equity investor so when I'm multiplying 750000
[270]
dollars with the debt-to-equity ratio it should give me 500,000
[274]
dollars okay now this is about the debt to equity ratio it helps us understand
[281]
the capital structure of the company the second ratio is long-term debt to
[287]
capitalization ratio friends the debt can be also divided into two parts
[292]
short-term debt and long-term debt short-term debt are those external
[297]
borrowings which the company takes to meet the short-term obligations of the
[302]
company usually for a period of less than 1 year and long-term debt is that
[308]
debt which the company takes to meet its long term liability or meet to fund its
[313]
long term business requirement which is usually more than a year that means a
[319]
repayment schedule of those debts are usually more than a year long-term debt
[323]
to capitalization ratio holds important in a sense that if I want to identify
[329]
that out of my total capital or total capital which is invested in the company
[335]
how much is my long-term debt that is very important because the repayment
[340]
schedule of short term debt will be in in a year and therefore we need to
[345]
understand what is the portion of long-term debt in my total capital okay
[350]
capitalization ratio means long term debt to capitalization ratio means long
[356]
term debt divided by capitalization and what does capitalization here means
[361]
capitalization here means long term debt and the shareholders equity that is
[367]
called as capitalization so basically this ratio means long term debt divided
[373]
by long term debt plus shareholders equity please note we are not
[379]
considering short term debt over here clear now moving on to the third and the
[385]
last capitalization ratio which is total debt to capitalization ratio this is no
[390]
different than the second ratio which we discussed the only difference is here we
[396]
are talking about total debt that means we are talking about both short-term
[401]
debt as well as long-term debt so the
[404]
numerator will be total debt that means short-term debt + long-term debt and
[409]
the denominator will be long-term debt + short-term debt + shareholder
[414]
equity here the definition of capitalization is long-term debt +
[420]
short-term debt + shareholders equity friends we have understood about the
[425]
formula let us try to understand with the help of a practical example as you
[431]
can see over here this is the chart of a company debt to equity ratio and what
[438]
what you can see the debt to equity ratio of the company has increased
[442]
significantly over the last 8 to 10 years and currently the debt to equity
[447]
ratio of the company is 2.792 what does this indicate this
[452]
indicate that for every dollar of equity which is invested in the company the
[459]
company has a debt of dollar 2.792 ok so this helps
[466]
us understand how much leverage or how much debt levered the company is how
[473]
much is that portion of debt in the company's total capital thank you
