In this project report, under the field of finance, Analysis and valuation through
financial statements of Tata steel ltd has been shown and interpreted. Tata Steel
Limited is an Indian multinational steel -making company based in Jamshedpur
Jharkhand, and is headquartered in Mumbai Maharashtra, India. It is a subsidiary
of the Tata Group.
The report is entirely based on secondary data obtained from company’s website,
financial sites, financial magazines and international journals. The balance sheet
and profit and loss statements have been used to analyze and evaluate for the
purpose of interpretation.
Financial ratios were used which helped in understanding the financial health of a
company. The ratios provide the overview performance of a company through
which comparison tests can be made.
For the completion of project report, liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, solvency
ratios, activity ratios and valuation ratios have been taken.
Valuation of the company is made from the analysis of financial statements,
Market capitalization and comparable comparison using valuation ratio
(Horizontal) methods in this report.
It was found out that both financial and valuation analysis show a good sign with
improvement and growth from the past figures. It can be ascertained that the
company will continue to grow and perform better after understanding and
analyzing the financial statements, ratios and market capitalization.
It can be seen that after the pandemic the performance of the company grew
rapidly and both the financial health and valuation improved.

Financial Statement Analysis is the process of analyzing a company’s financial
statements for decision making purposes. It helps in examining the performance
of a company in the context of industry or past performance. These statements
include the income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, notes to
accounts. Financial statement analysis is a method or process involving specific
techniques for evaluating risks, performance, financial health, and future
prospects of an organization.
Common methods of financial statement analysis include fundamental analysis,
horizontal and vertical analysis and the use of financial ratios. Historical
information combined with a series of assumptions and adjustments to the
financial information may be used to project future performance.
Often the interpreted data is used by both internal and external stakeholders such
as investors, creditors, banks, customers, employees, managers, directors, etc.
For example:-
An investor in debt securities is concerned about the company’s ability to
pay interest and to repay the principal lent.
An investor in equity securities is an owner with a residual interest in the
company and is concerned about the company’s ability to pay dividends
and the likelihood that its share price will increase.
The tool that is being used here for the analysis of financial statement is financial
ratios.
Page 8 of 60
composition of its capital structure, the prospect of future earnings, and the
market value of its assets, among other metrics.
Business valuation is a process and a set of procedures used to estimate the
economic value of an owner’s interest in a business. Various valuation techniques
are used by financial market participants to determine the price they are willing to
pay or receive to effect a sale of the business. In addition to estimating the selling
price of a business, the same valuation tools are often used by business appraisers
to resolve disputes related to estate and gift taxation, divorce litigation, allocate
business purchase price among business assets, establish a formula for estimating
the value of partners’ ownership interest for buy-sell agreements, and many other
business and legal purposes.
Valuations are needed for many reasons such as investment analysis, capital
budgeting, merger and acquisition transactions, financial reporting, and taxable
events to determine the proper tax liability.
There are several methods and techniques for arriving at a valuation—each of
which may produce a different value. The methods that are being used here are
Financial Statement Analysis, Market Capitalization and Comparing Valuation
Ratios.

I. BALANCE SHEET - A statement that lists a business’s assets, liabilities,
and owners’ equity at a specific point in time.
II. INCOME STATEMENT- A statement that summarizes a
business’s revenues, expenses, and profits over a period
III. CASH FLOW STATEMENT- A statement that captures how cash
flow is affected by activities from the balance sheet and income statement,
categorized into operating, investing, and financing activities
FINANCIAL KPIs
Financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIS) are metrics organizations use to track,
measure, and analyze the financial health of the company. These financial KPIs fall
under a variety of categories, including profitability, liquidity, solvency, efficiency,
and valuation. By understanding these metrics, we can be better positioned to
know how the business is performing from a financial perspective. These metrics
and KPIs should be made available internally and distributed on a weekly or
monthly basis in the form of email updates, dashboards, or reports. The metrics
below are used in this study to analyze financial soundness of the three
mentioned companies. These are typically found in the financial statements and
most important for managers and other key stakeholders within an organization.
The ratios used in this study to analyze and interpret the financial statements are:
CURRENT RATIO is a liquidity ratio that helps you understand whether the
business can pay its short-term obligations—that is, obligations due within one
year— with its current assets and liabilities.
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
QUICK RATIO, also known as an acid test ratio, is another type of liquidity ratio
that measures a business’s ability to handle short-term obligations. The quick
ratio uses only highly liquid current assets, such as cash, marketable securities,
and accounts
Page 10 of 60
receivables, in its numerator. The assumption is that certain current assets, like
inventory, are not necessarily easy to turn into cash.
Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
Page 11 of 60
DEBT-TO-EQUITY RATIO is a solvency ratio that measures how much a company
finances itself using equity versus debt. This ratio provides insight into the
solvency of the business by reflecting the ability of shareholder equity to cover all
debt in the event of a business downturn. DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO (DPR)
determines the amount of dividend paid to shareholders in relation to the total
amount of net income the company generates. In other words, the dividend pay-
out ratio measures the percentage of net income that is distributed to
shareholders in the form of dividends.
Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholder’s equity
Business Valuation
A business valuation is a general process of determining the economic value of a
whole business or company unit. Business valuation can be used to determine the
fair value of a business for a variety of reasons, including sale value, establishing
partner ownership, taxation etc.. Owners will often turn to professional business
evaluators for an objective estimate of the value of the business.
The valuation of a business is the process of determining the current worth of a
business, using objective measures, and evaluating all aspects of the business.
Page 12 of 60
A business valuation might include an analysis of the company's management, its
capital structure, its future earnings prospects or the market value of its assets.
The tools used for valuation can vary among evaluators, businesses, and
industries. Common approaches to business valuation include
1) Valuation through review of financial statements,
The shareholders’ equity, or net worth, of a company equals the total assets
(what the company owns) minus the total liabilities (what the company owes). If
your company does well, its profits increase and its net worth increases too. Net
worth serves as an on-going measurement of the company’s health, analogous to
a blood- pressure measurement of an individual. Management and investors
watch this figure closely. It is also of great interest to potential lenders to the
company (along with other measures). Companies with high net worth relative to
sales and good cash flow histories have the most success in attracting lenders.
Book Value is the value of shareholders’ equity of a business as shown on the
balance sheet statement. The book value is derived by subtracting the total
liabilities of a company from its total assets.
In the usual case, Net Worth is made up of two figures. One is labeled “capital,”
“owner’s equity,” “partner’s equity,” or “shareholder equity.” This line is the
equivalent to the money initially received for shares sold in the company to all
investors (or paid in by partners); in a privately held company it includes the
owner’s initial capital contributions along with that paid in by other investors. The
second line is labeled “retained earnings.” This represents profits (net income
after tax) retained by the company for future investment or debt retirement after
deducting dividends paid out (if any). Capital and retained earnings together are
Net Worth.
Value of a company = net worth= capital+ retained earning= Assets – external
liabilities
2)Comparing valuation ratios
Comparable valuation ratio analysis is the process of comparing valuation ratios
from past 5 years to analyze their enterprise value. A company’s valuation ratio
determines whether it is overvalued or undervalued. It aids in understanding the
growth and past performances.
Page 13 of 60
3) Market Capitalization value
Market value is the amount of money a knowledgeable buyer of the company is
likely to pay for it. Market value is based on a company's projected future
earnings as an "on-going" business. A profitable company with low debt, a well-
established history of steady earnings, and good cash flow will fetch the highest
price. Other factors play a role, including its technological know-how, market
share, and the presence or absence of competing buyers. In the case of a service
business where the most important asset is represented by individuals with
special skills and knowledge, the willingness of such people to continue on with
the business will play a major role.
Market capitalization refers to how much a company is worth as determined by
the stock market. Market capitalization is the simplest method of business
valuation. It is calculated by multiplying the company’s share price by its total
number of shares outstanding. For example, as of January 3, 2018, Microsoft Inc.
traded at $86.35.1 with a total number of shares outstanding of 7.715 billion, the
company could then be valued at $86.35 x 7.715 billion = $666.19 billion.
Page 14 of 60
multiplier adjusts future profits against cash flow that could be invested at the
current interest rate over the same period of time. In other words, it adjusts the
current P/E ratio to account for current interest rates.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method
The DCF method of business valuation is similar to the earnings multiplier. This
method is based on projections of future cash flows, which are adjusted to get the
current market value of the company. The main difference between the
discounted cash flow method and the profit multiplier method is that it takes
inflation into consideration to calculate the present value.
Liquidation Value
Liquidation value is the net cash that a business will receive if its assets were
liquidated and liabilities were paid off today.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
The iron and steel industry in India is among the most important industries within
the country. India surpassed Japan as second top steel producer with production
standing at 111.2 million tons (MT) in 2019. As per world steel, India's crude steel
production in 2018 was at 106.5 tons (MT), 4.9% increase from 101.5 MT in 2017,
means that India overtook Japan as the world's second largest steel production
country. Japan produced 104.3 MT in year 2018, decrease of 0.3% compared to
year 2017. Industry produced 82.68 million tons of total finished steel and 9.7
million tons of raw iron. Most iron and steel in India is produced from the iron
ore.
The growth in the Indian steel sector has been driven by domestic availability of
raw materials such as iron ore and cost-effective labor. Consequently, the steel
sector has been a major contributor to India’s manufacturing output. The Indian
steel industry is modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived for
continuous modernization of older plants and up-gradation to higher energy
efficiency levels.
Indian steel industry is classified into three categories - major producers, main
producers and secondary producers.
In FY21, the production of crude steel and finished steel stood a 102.49 MT and
94.66 MT, respectively. According to CARE Ratings, crude steel production is
expected to reach 112-114 MT (million tons), an increase of 8-9% YoY in FY22. The
consumption of finished steel stood at 93.43 MT in FY21.
In May 2021, finished steel production stood at 7.8 MT. In June 2021, SAIL’s crude
steel production stood at 1.30 MT and saleable steel production was 1.27 MT.
Page 16 of 60
Exports and imports of finished steel stood at 10.79 MT and 4.75 MT, respectively,
in FY21. In April 2021, India’s export rose by 121.6% YoY, compared with 2020. In
FY20, India exported 8.24 MT of finished steel.
In 2019, the Government introduced Steel Scrap Recycling Policy with an aim to
reduce import.
The industry is also benefitting from the developments happening across various
industries. The new Vehicle Scrappage policy will help in reducing the steel prices
since the policy enables recycling the materials used in old vehicles. In 2021,
Indian Railways is planning to procure over 11 lakh tons of steel from Steel
Authority of India Limited (SAIL) for the track renewal and laying new lines across
the country.
In June 2021, Mr. T.V. Narendran, the newly elected CII president and MD of Tata
Steel, in an interview with The Telegraph, stated that steel companies have firmed
their plans to invest Rs. 60,000 crore (US$ 8.09 billion) over the next three years—
this is was the biggest private sector investment plan announced in recent times.
Under the Union Budget 2021-22, the government allocated Rs. 39.25 crore (US$
5.4 million) to the Ministry of Steel.
There are more than 50 iron and steel industries in India. Given
below are some of the major steel plants:

The iron and steel industry in India is organized into three categories: main
producers, other major producers, and secondary producers. In 2019-2 the main
producers i.e. SAIL, TISCO and RINL had a combined capacity of around 50% of
India’s total steel production capacity and production. The other major producers
— ESSAR, ISPAT and JVSL — account for around 20% of the total steel production
capacity.

ACQUISITIONS
NatSteel in 2004: In August 2004, Tata Steel agreed to acquire the steelmaking
operations of the Singapore-based NatSteel for $486.4 million in cash. NatSteel
had ended 2003 with turnover of $1.4 billion and a profit before tax of
$47 million. The steel businesses of NatSteel would be run by the company
through a wholly owned subsidiary called NatSteel Asia Pvt. Ltd. The acquisition
was completed in February 2005. At the time of acquisition, NatSteel had a
capacity of about 2 million tonnes per annum of finished steel.
Millennium Steel in 2005: Tata Steel acquired a majority stake in the Thailand-
based steelmaker Millennium Steel for a total cost of $130 million. It paid
US$73 million to Siam Cement for a 40% stake and offered to pay 1.13 baht per

Data collection - Main data for the project is the annual financial reports of each year
in Tata steel included in our studies. As the nature of the study relates to financial
performance and valuation, the data used was secondary data. For the
measurement of financial ratios of the company, annual financial report of the
company must be used. For the valuation of company the data for market
capitalization was collected. Four main financial statements were used such as
Balance sheets, Income statement, Cash flow statement, statement of
shareholder’s equity.
Sample Size- The sample size consists of the private company Tata steel 5 year
annual report. Last five years data has been collected i.e. from 2019 to 2024.
Data analysis- The research design applicable for the proposal study is of analytical
nature. As the use of facts information are already available and analysing these
to make a critical evaluation of the material. Quantitative technique is employed
to analyze the data. We used the model for performance evaluation of Tata steel.
In this work by using the data from financial report such as balance sheet, income
statement and cash flow statement of the respected private company and using
ratio analysis method we investigated the performance of Tata steel.
Formula and Basic Concepts
Ratio analysis -Ratio analysis involves the methods of calculating and interpreting
financial ratios to assess the firm’s performance and status. It is a widely used tool
of financial analysis. It can be used to compare the risk and return relationships of
firms of different sizes. Ratio analysis is defined as the systematic use of ratio to
interpret the financial statements so that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm
as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be
determined. Ratio analysis studies levels and changes of relative measurements of
financial performance. This method is the most commonly used in the world
practices of financial analysis because of its relative simplicity and availability of
Page 29 of 60
data sources. When using the ratio analysis one can tell how profitable a business
is to show if it has enough capital to meet its obligations and even suggest
whether its shareholders are satisfied by an increasing value of the company or
not. Ratio analysis can also help to confirm whether a company is doing better this
year than it was last year.
Financial ratios that are being analyzed are as follows:
Gross profit margin = (Revenue – Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue x 100
Return on capital employed = net operating profit or earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT)/capital employed
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholder’s equity
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Total assets turnover ratio = Net Sales / Total Assets.
Page 30 of 60
Net Operating Profit per Share = net income + net after-tax interest
expense (or net income plus net interest expense) multiplied by 1,
minus the tax rate/ no. of shares outstanding

2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
INTERPRETATION:
It can be seen that the Gross Profit Margin was on an increase from 2023 to 2024.
In 2020 there was a massive decrease in the gross profit margin to 18.1%. for which
the appropriated reason that can be ascertained is country facing Pandemic.
The GPM% rose back to 27.4% in 2021 which shows the company’s good
financial health.

INTERPRETATION:
A good rule of thumb is that a ROCE of 15% or more is reflective of a decent business operations
and ascertains that it is generating a return well above its WACC.
It can be seen that the ROCE % IS IN CONTINOUS RISE4 FROM 2023 to 2024.
In 2019 it was more then 15% therefore showing strong and growing profitability.
In 2020 due to the Pandemic the return decreased to mere 9.77%. which is
acceptable considering the abnormal external environment which affected every
aspect at large.
It can be seen that in 2021 the ROCE is again recovering rapidly and is on a rise. It
Page 40 of 60
reached 15.53% ROCE.

INTERPRETATION:
A good current ratio is anything over 1, which shows the company has more than enough cash to
meet its liabilities while using its capital effectively.
It can be seen that the current ratio of Tata Steel is below 1. In 2017 it was 0.55 then
it rose to 0.64 in 2018 but fallen again to 0.55 in 2019.
In 2020 it again fell to 0.42 but in 2021 it recovered back rapidly to .61 which shows
that the liquidity of the company is not sufficient.

INTERPRETATION:
This ratio helps in understanding whether the company is able to pay off its current debts
without selling its long term assets. A quick ratio of 1:1 is preferable.
It can be seen that the quick ratio from 2017 to 2020 was within 0.25 to 0.30 which
is very less.
In 2021 it rose to 0.42 which shows improvement from past but is still not a good ratio.

INTERPRETATION:
It tells how much debt the co. has for every 1 Rs of equity. In general the ratio of less than 0.6 is
acceptable but is considered when it’s below 0.4.
Here it can be seen that in 2017 debt to equity ratio was at 0.61 which is very high
showing unhealthy leveraging.
Then onwards from 2018 it started to improve till 2019. In 2020 it rose back to
0.56 which is again considered high and not good for a company.
Page 44 of 60
But it can be seen that in 2021 it came to 0.31 which is an acceptable leverage and is
good for the company. Risk analysts like investors and lenders can ascertain trust
when the ratio is around 0.30.

INTERPRETATION:
Inventory turnover is the rate that inventory stock is sold, or used, and replaced. A higher ratio
tends to point to strong sales and a lower one to weak sales. A low turnover implies weak sales
and possibly excess inventory, also known as overstocking. A high ratio, on the other hand,
implies either strong sales or insufficient inventory. For most industries, the best inventory
turnover ratio falls between 5 and 10.
Here it can be seen that the inventory turnover ratio of Tata steel is between 5 to 8
which is acceptable as per industry standards.
It can be seen that the turnover is continuously rising from 2017 to 2021 showing
better and strong sales.
Page 46 of 60
In 2020 the ratio was seen dropped a little to 5.64 but is acceptable still knowing
that the challenges that were faced during the pandemic.

INTERPRETATION:
The asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of a company's assets in generating revenue or
sales. It compares the amount of sales (revenues) to its total assets as an annualized
percentage. The higher the asset turnover ratio, the more efficient a company is at generating
revenue from its assets. Conversely, if a company has a low asset turnover ratio, it indicates it is
not efficiently using its assets to generate sales. Asset turnover ratio that's above 0.5. Is
considered acceptable as per the industry standards.
Here it can be seen that ratio is above 0.5 from 2017 to 2021 showing good
Page 48 of 60
asset management.
In 2020 there was a decline to 0.52 but it is again on the path to recover by showing
a ratio of 0.61 in 2021.

From the above work It have examined that the company is at good pace and with
good profits the company is at good financial position .Financial analysis
determines a company’s health and stability, providing an understanding of how
the company conducts its business.
It was found that the ratios like gross profit margin (%), return on capital
employed, debt equity ratio, and inventory turnover ratio showed good figure
while ratios like current ratio and quick ratio were not according to the company
standards.
While calculating the value and analyzing it can be made out that the company
was undervalued in the market before but with the management performing
better after the pandemic the value of the company rose tremendously.
The valuation ratios too show a good sign with improved and growth from the
past figures. It can be ascertained that the company will continue to grow and
perform better after understanding and analyzing the financial statements, ratios
and market capitalization.
Page 56 of 60
With the above analyses and findings it is concluded that
Current position of the company is in a past 5 year high with share value at
1315 Rs.
Stability of the company is also considerable as the debt to equity ratio,
gross profit margin and ROCE are as per industry standards showing good
figures.
It can be seen that the performance of the company was increasing and
getting better slowly before pandemic but after the pandemic the
performance grew rapidly and both the financial health and valuation
improved.
Investment in the company can be said preferable as the ROCE of the
company matches the ideal for the industry. The debt to equity ratio also
shows a very good figure. How ever it can be seen that the current ratio
and quick ratio are not up to the mark.
The calculation of valuation and analysis from all the three methods used
Asset pricing, comparable comparison and market capitalization shows an
observation that the company’s value is increasing which is a good sign for
a company.

Like any other study, this study also undergoes various limitations. It is important to
know that financial statement analysis has its limitations as well. Different
accounting methods adopted by different firms’ changes the visible health and
profit levels for either better or worse. Different analysts may get different results
from the same information. Hence, we must conclude that financial statement
analysis is only one of the tools (although a major one) while taking an investment
decision.
This report is entirely based on secondary data as reference, considering the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. So, this analysis was subject to all limitations of
primary data. The quality of secondary research is scrutinized closely but there
may be chances of bias that might have crept in since the origins of the
information may be questionable. The validity and reliability of the information
obtained has been critically evaluated. The source of data has been checked
though some data may be old and out of date offering little value in present
scenario. Also, there were many malicious websites offering incorrect information
but the authenticity of this research was maintained by taking proper action.
The researcher encountered certain other difficulties in obtaining the exact figures
and up to date data required to analyze the financial data. The researcher
resorted to different other methods of carving out the required information to
overcome this difficulty.
