hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo friends today we are
[16]
going to learn a topic that has called return on equity formula now this is a
[20]
part and parcel of the ratio analysis topic let's understand this formula in
[27]
detail as you can see there is a formula that is available to you return on
[31]
equity which is your net income divided by your shareholders equity so you can
[35]
see it all a sign and there are so many people right then that's been denoted in
[39]
the formula itself let's understand this what exactly this formula is all about
[44]
now the return on equity formula is one of the most financed is the most common
[51]
finance formula it's a very common finance formula shareholders used to
[55]
find the return on their investments
[61]
return on their investments now let's say they have invested in a company now
[67]
they will look at the net income of the of the company absolutely that's what
[72]
their shareholders are going to do for the year and they will also look at the
[77]
shareholders equity at the same time if there is any movement they will also try
[82]
and have a look at the shareholders equity of the year and finally they will
[86]
compare the two to come up with the the ratio which we call as your roe which is
[93]
your return on equity formula now the formula again it goes something like
[98]
this roe is equal to your net income
[104]
/ your shareholders equity right this is your formula let's
[112]
understand this with an example so that we have some really a crystal clear idea
[116]
about what the formula is all about and then post factor we'll take the
[120]
explanation the interpretation part which I consider is at as the most
[125]
important let's take a simple example to
[127]
illustrate the return on equity formula let's say there's a company called
[133]
Vegas and company it has the net income this is for 2017
[141]
net income of $120,000 and they have their shareholders
[147]
equity
[150]
which is $6,00,000 right so based on this what we need to find is the ROE
[158]
the roe formula goes something like this the net income
[164]
/ your shareholders equity right which gives us 20% as our answer so the ratio
[171]
should be also be compared with the roae of the similar companies of the same
[179]
industry okay to make a sense of whether roae of
[184]
vegas and company is higher or lower now based on this we'll take a real-life
[192]
example of a company called Nestle so that we can also correlate with the
[197]
companies that have the details now this is basically the consolidated income
[203]
statement or the profit and loss account for the year ended 31st December 14 and
[208]
15 this is the data for 14 and 15 there are some sales figure which is 88,785
[213]
and 91,612 this is the Nestle's sales and there are some of the
[219]
details that have been given the trading profit operating profit and so on and so
[222]
forth and finally then we receive our net income that is the profit for the
[226]
year which is 9,467 and 14,904 but that's not
[233]
it we need the second part of our formula which is the shareholders equity
[237]
we can we absolutely receive the net income later but what about the
[241]
shareholders equity so this is your income statement and for the
[245]
shareholders equity we need to go back or we need to go to the balance sheet
[248]
formula so this is the consolidated balance sheet as on the 31st December
[253]
2014 and 15 data for you can say Nestle's balance sheet now the total
[261]
liability and equity is 123 992 and 133 450 so as you can see the 2014 data and
[269]
this is the 2015 data we can make the calculation something like this will
[275]
take up the data for the profits for both the years okay so we'll we'll come
[280]
over here we'll say Nestle's calculation and we have data for 2014 and let's say
[287]
for 2015 and then 2014 date over here we'll have net income and the
[293]
shareholders equity that's what we are supposed to calculate let's go in over
[299]
here and take the net income data which is a 14904 and 9467
[303]
so 14904 and 9467 sorry
[311]
this is 9467 2015 and 14 9 0 4 4 2014 this is the data for
[320]
your net income now let's get the data for your shareholders equity
[324]
but if you go to see the total liabilities and equity over here is 123
[329]
and 992 and 133 450 but we have to take the total equity and not the total
[333]
liabilities in equity so let's take up this figures 63 986 in 71 884 come over
[341]
here input the data for 2015 that was 63 986 and for 2014 it was 71 884 so now
[350]
based on this we can calculate our return on equity roae which is your net
[356]
income divided by shareholders equity right
[360]
and over here to control our so we have over answers now we have now tried to
[367]
solve a real-life example that is colgate it over here and Colgate sorry for 2014
[370]
is 21% and out of 2015 is a 15% so that's a pretty good number
[377]
now not bad Aarohi of Nestle has decreased from 2014
[384]
to 2015 it was 21% and it has reduced to 15% not good I mean
[390]
there's a reduction by 5 to 6% around now in this
[396]
particular calculation what we have used as we have used the average equity over
[402]
here ok in the denominator so in many years Colgate's ratio was in the range
[409]
of 90% close enough to debt so if you see the chart over here now right from
[415]
the return on owners equity that is ROE from December 8 onwards to December
[420]
15 it was 93% close enough to in the 90 range the average goes around
[428]
90 even though the net income has reduced around 34% right here
[433]
the RO has roe has increased during this years because of the share buyback and
[438]
also the accumulated losses which further lowering the shareholders equity
[443]
in the denominator side you can see the roe has increased immensely from
[450]
December 2014 that was 126.4% to directly jump to 327.2 - that's a
[457]
huge rise a massive rise so the reason was as I told you the buyback and the
[463]
accumulated losses which which lowered down the shareholders equity and in away
[467]
your denominator got reduced now let's understand the explenation portion of
[472]
the shareholders equity or sorry the ROA formula as you can see you know there
[478]
are the two components in the formula the first component is the net income so
[483]
if you look at the income statement basically income statement then you will
[489]
you would be able to find the net income as the last item and in this case the
[495]
public companies you may see that the net income is the second last item in
[501]
few countries it's mandatory for public companies to show forth the EPS after
[506]
they calculate the net income for the Europe the second component in here is
[511]
the shareholders equity no this is how the shareholders equity
[518]
looks like common stock preferred stock and you add up any paid of capital which
[522]
is common stock preferred stock that retain earnings you deduct any Treasury
[525]
shares and translation reserves you have a minority interest and so on and so
[529]
forth now let's understand the use of the return on equity formula see this
[534]
formula if it results in higher ratio it means higher is good it means that the
[539]
shareholders equity has been rightly used to produce the right returns on the
[542]
other hand if the ratio is you can say lower it means that the efficiency of
[546]
the company is in utilizing its equity is also lower and as a result result the
[550]
result the return is also lower the higher the ratio is better and would be
[557]
the efficiency of the company thus every investor should look at the company as
[560]
the higher our roe however they also need to look at the other financial
[564]
ratios to get a holistic view of how a company has been operating thank you
[568]
