Financial Ratios and Intrafirm Analysis of Pakistan State Oil 2
Introduction Pakistan State Oil1 (PSO) is the largest Oil Marketing Company (OMC) in Pakistan commanding over 70% of the market share. The Government of Pakistan (GOP) is a major stake-holder in the company. Pakistan State Oil Company Limited is a public company incorporated in Pakistan under the repealed Companies Act, 1913 (now Companies Ordinance, 1984) and is listed on Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad stock exchanges. The address of its registered office is PSO House, Khayaban-e-Iqbal, Clifton, Karachi. The principal activities of the Company are procurement, storage and marketing of petroleum and related products. It also blends and markets various kinds of lubricating oils.2 Fluctuations3 in the international oil prices have severely affected the economy of Pakistan. There are, at one hand, accusations of outrageous profits by the OMCs, while on the other hand, the oil industry is mired in circular debt and is struggling for survival. Government directives for uninterrupted supply of fuel to the power-generation companies, irrespective of mounting receivables, have put a major strain on the OMCs and the Oil Refineries, as the GOP is unable to retire its debts to these companies. Till April 2006, the fuel prices were set by Oil Companies Advisory Committee4 (OCAC) as per the formula provided to them by the government. Now, Oil and Gas Regulation Authority5 (OGRA) sets the fuel prices according to the information provided to them by the oil companies. Therefore, it would be interesting to study the financial ratios and do a trend analysis using the main indicators to gain a better insight into the actual state of affairs. PSO’s financial statements prepared for the year ended June 30, 2008 have been used for this research, and the key documents are appended at the end of this report.

Profitability Ratios Analysis A closer look at the trends of the world oil prices7 shows that an OMC’s profit margins fluctuate in a similar manner.
All ratios appear to have risen sharply in 2008. This is attributable to the steep rise in world oil prices. As the profit margins were a percentage of the fuel price, thus gains and losses were a direct function of fluctuations in international price, and thus impacted the profitability. The basic reason why all the profitability ratios are affected is a huge inventory gain.

Asset Utilization Ratios’ Analysis Compared to last year, inventory turnover was high due to increased sales volumes, and debtor turnover decreased significantly. Total assets turnover trend is more or less the same whereas fixed assets turnover shows a consistent rise. As Asset Utilization ratios are a measure of management’s efficiency, this implies that the management is doing a good job, and company resources are being used to optimize profits.

Investment Ratios’ Analysis As is evident from the Earnings per Share graph, the company has been highly profitable. The consistent rise in the Break-up Value over the years is an indicator of credible amount of assets and places the company in a very favourable position in potential investors’ eyes. Even though investment ratios have taken a positive turn, the company was not able to declare generous dividends due to the liquidity issues caused by the nonretirement of debts due from the government on account of the power-generation companies. Inspite of the economic crunch which has severely affected cash flows of all players in the industry, PSO has done exceptionally well, as is evident from the Earnings per share and Market value per share for 2008.

QuickRatio
Leverage Ratios’ Analysis The relationship of owners’ equity to borrowed funds is an important indicator of financial strength. Interest Cover is far stronger in 2008 (16.4) as compared to 2007(6.86). PSO mainly resorts to short-term financing and has no long term loan as of 2008. This financial year, it resorted to Rs10.9 bn of short-term borrowings. Thus, inspite of high profitability, huge receivables have contributed to the negative cash flows. There is a mild variation in the current ratio over the years indicating a more or less continuation of the same trend, indicating that the company has been able to maintain the balance between its current assets and liabilities, whereas the quick ratio is in a steady but constant state of decline, which is probably due to the huge inventory, caused by the steep rise in world oil prices.
