INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

A healthy vibrant economy provides channels to transfer fund from

individual and groups who have saved money to individual and group who

want to borrow money. The financial system is complex in both function and

structure throughout the world.

Finance is regarded as life blood of business and it is the basic foundation of

all kinds of economic activities. Finance is defined as procurement of funds

and effective utilisation of funds. Finance is very essential for smooth

running of business. Finance is needed to promote or establish the business,

acquire fixed assets and to conduct business studies.

Financial statement analysis is the process of examining relationship among

financial statement elements and making comparisons with relevant

information. The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information

contained in financial statements so as to judge profitability and financial

soundness of the firm. It is a valuable tool by investor, creditors, financial

analysts and others in their decision making process related to stocks, bonds,

other financial instruments. A financial analyst analysis the financial

statements with various tools of analysis before commenting upon the

financial health or weakness of an enterprise. The process of analysing

financial statement involves the rearranging, comparing and measuring the

significance of financial and operating data.

Financial statement analysis helps in comparing companies of different size

with each other and the most important benefit is that it provides an idea to

the investors about deciding on investing their funds in a particular company.

Financial statement analysis involves reviewing the financial statements of

an organization to gain an understanding of its financial situation. Financial

statements usually include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of

cash flows and supplementary notes. An internal analysis is conducted by

employees, executives or other individuals with access to a business firms

internal accounting records. In contrast an external analysis is conducted by

outsiders with access to published financial statements. These outsiders may

2

include creditors, investors, credit agencies, government agencies or the

general public. Tools and techniques used in financial analysis include cash

flow analysis, common-size statement analysis, cost-volume-profit analysis,

fund flow analysis, networking capital analysis and trend analysis.

Financial analysis can be conducted using either horizontal/vertical analysis

or analysis that uses ratios. Analysis by using ratio is used to calculate the

relative size of one figure in relation to another which can then be compared

to ratio for a prior period. Financial statement analysis involves careful

selection of data from financial statement for the primary purpose of

forecasting the financial health of the company. This is accomplished by

examining trends in key financial data across companies, and analysing key

financial ratio. This project entitled “A study on financial analysis of Nestle

India Limited” is mainly focusing on financial performance of Nestle India

limited for past five years.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

4

2.1 Introduction

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area,

and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time

period. A literature review can be just a simple summary of the source, but is

usually as an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis.

It helps in clarifying and defining the problem, stating the objectives, formulating

hypothesis, selecting an appropriate design and methodology of research as well

as interpreting the result in the light of research work already undertaken in the

previous studies. In this chapter an endeavour has been made to provide and

present an overview of various aspects of this study through the review of

existing literature. The sources referred include journals, books, working papers,

report related to human resources etc.

Empirical research is published in books and in scholarly, peer-reviewed

journals. However, most library database does not offer straight forward ways to

locate empirical research.

2.2 Conceptual Review

The review of literature guides the researchers for getting better understanding

of methodology used, limitation of various available estimation procedures and

database, and lucid interpretation and reconciliation of the conflicting results.

Besides this, the review of empirical studies explores the avenues for future and

present research efforts related to the subject matter. In case of conflicting and

unexpected results, the research can take the advantage of knowledge of their

researchers simply through the medium of their published works. A number of

research studies have been carried out on different aspects of performance

appraisal by the researchers, economists and academicians in India and abroad.

Different authors have analysed performance in different perspectives. The

analysis of financial statements is a process of evaluating the relationship

between component parts of financial statements to obtain a better understanding

of the firm’s position and performance.

5

Financial statement analysis is largely a study of relationship among the various

financial factors in a business as disclosed by a single set of statements. It is a

process of evaluating the relationships component parts of a financial statement

to obtain a better understanding of a firm’s positions and performance. Financial

statements analysis is an attempt to determine the significance and meaning of

the financial data so that forecast may be made of the future ability to pay interest

and debt maturities a (both current and long term) and profitability of a sound

policy. The five key elements of financial analysis is Revenues, Profits,

operational efficiency, Capital efficiency, solvency and liquidity.

Financial statement present the financial activities and health of the business in

clear and concise manner. However the further disclosure are made as per

relevant laws, regulations and as required by accounting standard that is used.

Financial statement analysis is the process of evaluating business, projects,

budgets, and other finance related transactions to determine their performance

suitability. The main advantages of financial statement analysis is helpful to the

government agencies in analysing the taxation owed by the firm, company is

able to analyse its own performance over a specific time period, budget outline

in real- time, pattern detection and forecasting, communicate with shareholders.

The main disadvantages of financial statement analysis is making strategic

decisions based on figures and data pertaining to the current market conditions

which may fluctuate, analysis of at-one-time basis, ignores the price level

changes, influence of personal judgement.

2.3 Tools or Techniques of Financial Statements

2.3.1 Ratio Analysis

A ratio is a simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to

another number. Ratio analysis can be defined as the process of ascertaining the

financial ratios that are used for indicating the ongoing financial performance of

a company. Ratio analysis 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

6

analysis was perhaps the financial tools developed to analysis and interpret the

financial statement and is still used widely for this purpose. It is one of the most

prevalent method of analysing a balance sheet. Any number of ratio can be

prepared by comparing any two figures available in the balance sheet on profit

and loss account or both.

2.3.2 Classification of Ratios

Accounting ratio can be classified in several ways, in general accounting ratios

may be classified on the following basis;

Liquidity Ratios

Leverage Ratios

Activity Ratios

Profitability Ratios

Market Test Ratio

2.3.2.1 Liquidity Ratios

The term liquidity refers to the firm's ability to pay its current liabilities out of

it’s currently assets. Liquidity ratios are used to measure the liquidity position or

short term debt paying ability of a firm. These ratios are highly useful to creditors

and commercial banks that provide short term credit important liquidity ratios

are:

1. Current Ratio

Current Ratio is one of the oldest of all financial ratios. It was first used in 1891.

Current ratio is defined as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It shows

the relationship between total current assets and total current liabilities. It is the

measure of firm’s short term solvency. That is, its ability to meet short-term

obligations. In sound business a current ratio of 2:1 is considered as an ideal one.

Current Assets = Current assets

Current liabilities

7

2. Liquid Ratio or Quick Ratio

Liquid ratio is the ratio of liquid assets (or quick assets) to current liabilities. It

establishes the relationship between quick assets and current liabilities. It is the

measure of the instant debt paying ability of the business enterprise. It is also

called acid test ratio. An acid test ratio of 1:1 is considered to be satisfactory as

a firm can easily meet all its current liabilities. Inventory are considered to be

less liquid. It is computed as follows:

Liquid ratio = Liquid Assets

Current liabilities

3. Absolute Liquid Ratio or Cash Ratio

Cash ratio of absolute liquid ratio show the relationship between cash and current

liabilities. Absolute liquid asset includes cash in hand and cash at bank and

marketable securities are temporary investments. The acceptable norm for this

ratio is 0.75:1.

Absolute liquid ratio= cash and bank+ short term securities/current liabilities

2.3.2.2 Leverage Ratios

The term solvency means the ability of a firm to meet its long-term obligations.

The long-term creditors of firms are primary interested in knowing firms ability

to pay interest on long term borrowings, repayment of principle amount of

maturity etc. So this ratio indicates a firm's ability to meet with interest, cost and

repayment schedule associated with this long term borrowings. These ratios are:

1. Debt Equity Ratio

It shows the relationship between total debt and owned debt. It is the ratio of the

amount invested by the shareholders. This ratio reflects the relative claim of

shareholders and creditors against the Assets of the company. This ratio is also

known as external-internal equity ratio. It is computed as:

8

Debt equity ratio = Debt

Equity

2. Proprietary Ratio

Proprietary ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders or proprietors

fund and total assets. This ratio shows how much funds have been contributed

by the shareholders in the total assets of the firm. It is also known as equity ratio-

worth ratio. It is computed as:

Proprietary ratio = shareholders fund

Total asset

3. Fixed Asset Ratio

It is the ratio of fixed assets to long-term funds or capital employed. It is

computed as follows:

Fixed assets ratio= Fixed Assets (after depreciation)

Long term funds

4. Fixed assets to net worth ratio

It measures the percentage of fixed assets to network. This ratio helps to analysis

the long term solvency of the firm.

Fixed asset to net worth ratio = Fixed assets

Shareholders fund

5. Capital Gearing Ratio

This ratio is used to analyse the capital structure of a company. The capital

gearing or leverage ratio refers to the proportion between fixed income bearing

funds and equity shareholders fund. The capital gearing ratio is computed as

follows:

9

Capital gearing ratio = fixed income bearing funds Equity/ shareholders fund

i.e., Preference share capital + debentures + long term loans

Equity Shareholders fund

6. Solvency Ratio

This ratio expresses the relationship between total Assets and total liabilities of

a business. It measures the solvency of the business. This ratio is known as

solvency ratio. This ratio is generally expressed as a proportion. The following

formula is used for computing solvency and ratio.

Solvency ratio = Total assets

Total debt

Interest coverage ratio

The interest coverage ratio is a debt ratio and profitability ratio used to determine

how easily a company can pay interest on its outstanding debt. The interest

coverage ratio may be calculated by dividing a company's earnings before

interest and tax (EBIT) by its interest expense during a given period by the

company's interest payments due within the same period.

The interest coverage ratio is sometimes called the times interest earned (TIE)

ratio. Lenders, investors, and creditors often use this formula to determine a

company's riskiness relative to its current debt or for future borrowing

Interest coverage ratio = EBIT

Interest

10

2.3.2.3 Activity Ratio

These ratios indicate efficiency in Asset Management. These ratios are also

known as efficiency ratios or performance ratios of assets utilization ratios. The

ratio indicates the cash elasticity of current assets. This ratio indicates the speed

with which the resources are turned over or converted into cash. These ratios are

also known as turnover ratios. It should be noted that turnover ratios are always

expressed in number of times, i.e., rate of turning over. Important activity or

turnover ratios are:

1. Inventory Turnover Ratio

Inventory or stock turnover ratio shows the relationship between cost of goods

sold and average inventory on stock. It is also called merchandise turnover ratio,

it is obtained by dividing cost of goods sold by average stock. Stock turnover

ratio is computed by the following formula:

Stock turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold

Average stock

2. Debtors Turnover Ratio

Debtors‟ turnover ratio explain the relationship between net credit sales and

average debtors including bills receivable. This ratio shows how quickly debtors

are realized or converted into cash. It is also known as receivables turnover ratio.

The following formula used for calculating debtor’s turnover ratio:

Debtors turnover ratio = Net credit sales

Debtors including B/R

3. Creditors Turnover Ratio

It shows the relationship between net credit purchase and average creditors

including bills payable. This ratio indicates the number of times the creditors are

11

paid. It is also called payable turnover ratio, it is computed by the following

formula:

Creditors turnover ratio= Net Credit Purchase

Average Creditors including B/P

4. Working capital turnover ratio

Current asset will change with change in sales. This means working capital is

related with States. The relation between sales and working capital is called

working capital turnover ratio. This ratio shows how many times the working

capital is turned over to produce sales. Working capital turnover ratio is

computed by the following formula:

Working capital turnover ratio = Net sales

Working capital

5. Fixed asset turnover ratio

For knowing whether fixed asset or effectively utilized or not, fixed asset

turnover ratio is used. Fixed asset turnover ratio establishes the relationship

between net sales and fixed asset. It measures the efficiency with which a firm

is utilizing its fixed assets in producing sales. It is computed as follows:

Fixed asset turnover ratio = Net sales

Net fixed assets

2.3.2.4 Profitability Ratios

The term profitability refers to the ability of a firm to earn income. The

profitability of a firm can be easily measured by its profitability ratios.

Profitability ratios are always based on sales. Important profitability ratios are:

12

1. Gross profit ratio :

Gross profit or sales profit or gross margin is the difference between revenue and

the cost of making a product. This is the ratio of gross profit to sales expressed

as percentage. It is also known as gross margin. It is calculated as follows:

G/P ratio = Gross profit x100

Net sales

2. Operating ratio

Operating ratio expresses the relationship between operating cost and sales. It

indicates the overall efficiency in operating the business. The formula for

computing operating ratio is as follows:

Operating ratio = Cost of goods sold + operating expenses x 100

Sales

3. .Net profit ratio

Net profit ratio is the ratio of net profit earned by a business and its net sales. It

measures overall profitability. It is calculated as follows

N/P Ratio= Net profit x 100

Net Sales

4. Operating profit ratio

Operating profit ratio Explain the relationship between operating profit and net

sales. It is calculated by the following formula:

Operating profit ratio= operating profit x 100

Net sales

13

5. Return on investment (ROI)

ROI measures the overall profitability. It establishes the relationship between

profit or return and investment. It is also called the accounting rate of return. It

is computed as follows:

ROI = Profit before interest and tax x 100 /Capital employed

6. Return on shareholders fund

This is the ratio of net profit to shareholders fund or net-worth. It measures the

profitability from the shareholders point of view. It is calculated as follows:

Return on shareholders fund = Net profit after interest and tax x 100 Shareholders

fund

2.3.2.5 Market Test Ratio

Market test ratio are used for evaluating the shares and stocks which are traded

in the market. The value of shares in the stock exchange depends upon a number

of factors like book value of shares, future profitability of company, return on

equity shares, earnings per share, Dividend policy, dividend per share, dividend

pay-out ratio etc. Important Market test ratio are as follows:

1. Dividend per share

The dividend paid to equity shareholders on a per share basis is DPS. In other

words, it is a dividend paid to equity shareholder divided by the number of equity

shares outstanding. The formula is

DPS = Dividend paid to equity shareholders

No. of equity shares

2. Dividend pay-out ratio

Dividend pay-out ratio measures the relationship between the dividend

paid to equity shareholders and the earnings belonging to them. It may be

expressed as follows:

14

Dividend pay-out ratio= Dividend paid to equity shareholders

Net profit belonging to equity shareholders

3. Earnings per share

This ratio indicates the profit available to equity shareholders per share basis. It

is calculated as:

EPS = Net profit available to equity shareholders

No. of equity shares

4. Price earnings ratio

This ratio gives a fair idea about the potential market price of a share. This ratio

is mainly used to value the company's performance as expected by equity

shareholders. It indicates expectations about the future of a company. It is

computed as below:

Price earnings ratio = Market price per share

EPS

2.3 Empirical Literature

Mital Menapara and Dr. Vijay Pithanda (2010) studied about financial

performance through. “A study on financial performance of selected

companies during pre-post-merger and acquisition". From his literary

work, their problem as per current scenario corporate restructuring is one

of the most widely used strategic tools. In diurnal news we come across

frequently with the headlines of merger, acquisition etc.

Sharma Nishi (2011) studied the “financial performance of passenger

and commercial vehicle segment of the automobile industry” in the terms

of four financial parameters namely liquidity, profitability, leverage and

managerial efficiency analysis for the period of decade from 2001-02 to

2010-11. The study concludes that profitability and managerial efficiency

of Tata motors as well as Mahindra & Mahindra ltd are satisfactory but

their liquidity position is not satisfactory. The liquidity position of

commercial vehicle is much better than passenger vehicle segment.

Debashish Rei and Debashish Sur (2001) studied the profitability

analysis of Indian food products industry: “A case study of Cadbury India

Ltd.” The study attempts to measure the profitability scenario of Cadbury

India Ltd. and analyses the relationship among various profitability ratios

and their joint impact using multiple correlation co-efficient and multiple

regression method. The study on the inter-relation between the selected

ratios regarding the company’s position and performance and profitability

of the company revealed both negative and positive association.

Imran Khan (2016) Here he studies analyse the “financial performance

of Britannia” from 2011-2012 to 2015-2016 and has used ratio analysis

as the tool for the same. Through his study he found that sales, operating

profit margin, net profit margin are in an increasing trend and debt equity

16

ratio and return on assets how decrease. He also put up some suggestions

like current asset should be increased, debt capital should be increased.

Dr. Ramya and Dr. S Kavitha (2017) they studied “financial

performance of Maruti Suzuki Ltd from 2010-2015”. Profitability ratio

activity ratio are used for the study. They found that gross profit ratio,

current ratio, asset turnover ratio, net profit turnover ratio all declined

when we reach 2014-2015. They also come to conclusion that the

calculation in the financial statement are prepared by desired management

and policies that it cannot produce complete picture about its

performance.

Singh Amarjit and Gupta Vinod (2012) explored an overview of

automobile industry. Indian automobile industry itself as a manufacturing

hub and many joint ventures have been setup in India with foreign

collaboration. SWOT analysis done there are some challenges by the

virtue of witch automobile industry faces lot of problems and some

innovative key features are keyless entry, electrically controlled

mechanisms enhanced driving control, soft feel interiors and also need to

focus in future on like fuel efficiency, emission reduction safety and

durability.

Sneha Lata and Dr. Robin Anand (2017) they conducted “financial

performance of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd before merger and after

merger with the Korean company from the year 2007-2017”. They used

tools such as ratio analysis, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test.

Company’s profit margin has been pulled back after merging that from

18% it went down to 13%.The merger made for increasing profit has

declined the value of business of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd and the

reason they are stating are that sometimes other merger took place in the

recent years may be the reason for decline.

17

Huda Salhe Meften and Manish Roy Tirkey (2014) have studied the

“financial analysis of Hindustan petroleum corporation ltd.” The study is

based on secondary data. The company has got excellent gross profit ratio

and trend is rising in with is appreciable indicating efficiency in

production cost. The net profit for the year 2010-11 is excellent & it is 8

times past year indicating reduction in operating reduction in operating

expenses and large proportion of net sales available to the shareholders of

company.

Dr. M Ravichandran& M Venkat Subramanian (2016) studied on

Force Motors formerly known as Bajaj Tempo from 2010-2015. They

used ratio analysis, comparative financial statement analysis. The

company’s financial performance is good that it shows an increase in

reserve and surplus and decrease in borrowings. They suggest that it can

further improve by concentrates on its operating, administrative and

selling expenses and by reducing the expenses.

Vijayakumar A. (1996) has studied about "Assessment of Corporate

liquidity a discriminate analysis approach" in this research he has revealed

that the growth rate of sales, leverage, current ratio, operating expense to

sales and vertical integration was the important variables which determine

the profitability of Companies. In this study discriminating Z' scores have

been calculated with the help of discriminate function and according to

the 'Z' is scores the companies are ranked in order of liquidity.

CHAPTER Ⅲ

INDUSTRY AND COMPANY

PROFILE

18

3.1 Industry Profile

India is the world's second largest producer of food and has the potential of being

the biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The food industry is a complex,

global network of diverse business that supplies most of the food consumed by

the world's population. The term food industries covers a series of industrial

activities directed at the production, distribution, processing, conversion,

preparation, preservation, transport, certification and packaging of foodstuffs.

The food industry today has become highly diversified, with manufacturing

ranging from small, traditional, family-run activities that are highly labour-

intensive, to large, capital-intensive and highly mechanized industrial processes.

Many food industries depend almost entirely on local agriculture produce or

fishing. The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing its

contribution to world food trade every year. In India, the food sector has emerged

as a high-growth and high-profit sector due to its immense potential for value

addition, particularly within the food processing industry. The total food

production in India is likely to double in the next ten years and there is an

opportunity for large investments in food and food processing technologies,

skills and equipment, especially in areas of Canning, Dairy and Food Processing,

Specialty Processing, Packaging, Frozen Food/Refrigeration and Thermo

Processing. Fruits & Vegetables, Fisheries, Milk & Milk Products, Meat &

Poultry, Packaged/Convenience Foods, Alcoholic Beverages & Soft Drinks and

Grains are important sub-sectors of the food processing industry. The Indian food

and grocery market is the world’s sixth largest, with retail contributing 70 per

cent of the sales. The Indian food processing industry accounts for 32 per cent

of the country’s total food market, one of the largest industries in India and is

ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth.

According to Ministry of Food Processing India, Food Processing Industry

accounts for about 32% of the country’s total food market, the Food Processing

Industry is one of the largest industries in India and is ranked fifth in terms of

production, consumption, export and expected growth. The Indian Food

19

Processing Industry has grown by 11% in the last decade and is expected to reach

$480 billion by 2020. The industry contributes to 14% of the country’s

manufacturing GDP, 13% of exports and 6% of total industrial investment. The

food industry has a large influence on consumerism. Food Processing Industry is

not only the need of the hour but also has the potential to bring prosperity in rural

economy and contribute to the socio economic development of the country. It is

certainly the pathway of a new future for India. However, the real challenge is

to develop industry in a way which takes care of small scale industry along with

attracting big ticket domestic and foreign investments. Indian food processing

industry is primarily export oriented. With the export growth rate of around 15%,

its share in the international market is only 1.7%. Again, only 2% of the total

food produced in India is processed for further consumption. Food consumption

drives demand, and this depends on population growth. The profitability of

individual companies depends on efficient operations, because products are

commodities subject to intense price competition. Companies compete largely

based on cost and their ability to distribute the finished product. Large companies

have economies of scale in purchasing and distribution. Small companies can

compete effectively in local or regional markets and by developing popular

products. The Indian food processing industry accounts for 32 per cent of the

country’s total food market, one of the largest industries in India and is ranked

fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth.

The Ministry of Food Processing Industries is a ministry of the Government of

India responsible for formulation and administration of the rules and regulations

and laws relating to food processing in India. The ministry was set up in the year

1988, with a view to develop a strong and vibrant food processing industry, to

create increased employment in rural sector and enable farmers to reap the

benefits of modern technology and to create a surplus for exports and stimulating

demand for processed food. The ministry is currently headed by Narendra Singh

20

Tomar, a Cabinet Minister who is also the Minister of Agriculture & Farmers

Welfare and Minister of Rural Development.

Reasons for the growth of the food industry

Increased urbanization in the country has given a boost to the food industry in

India.

Majority of the women in the country are working as a result of which families

have extra income which they are spending in buying food.

The standard of living in the country has improved as a result of which there

has been an increased demand for food.

Supermarkets and malls have opened all over the country and this has helped

in making shopping for food a pleasurable experience.

The consumers can select, inspect and pick up food items that they like in an

ambience that is comfortable. This too has helped to boost the sale of food

products in the country.

3.2 Company Profile

Nestle India Limited, is the Indian subsidiary of Nestle which is a Swiss

multinational company. Nestle was founded in 1867 in Geneva, Switzerland by

Henri Nestle. Nestle's first product was "Farine Lactee Nestle", an infant cereal.

In 1905, Nestle acquired the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. Nestle’s

relationship with India started 1912, when it began trading as The Nestle Anglo-

Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Export) Limited, importing and selling

finished products in the Indian market. The company is headquartered in

Gurgaon, Haryana. The company's products include food, beverages, chocolate,

and confectioneries. The company was incorporated on 28 March 1959 and was

21

promoted by Nestle Alimentana S.A. via a subsidiary, Nestle Holdings Ltd. As

of 2020, the parent company Nestle owns 62.76% of Nestlé India. The company

has 8 production facilities in various locations across India. With eight factories

and a large number of co-packers, Nestle India is a vibrant Company that

provides consumers in India with products of global standards and is committed

to long-term sustainable growth and shareholder satisfaction. The Company

insists on honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of its business and expects

the same in its relationships. This has earned it the trust and respect of every

strata of society that it comes in contact with and is acknowledged amongst

India's 'Most Respected Companies' and amongst the 'Top Wealth Creators of

India'. Nestlé India, one the biggest players in FMCG segment, has a presence in

milk & nutrition, beverages, prepared dishes & cooking aids & chocolate &

confectionery segments. Nestle India manufactures products of truly

international quality under internationally famous brand names such as

NESCAFE, MAGGI, MILKYBAR, KIT KAT, BAR-ONE, MILKMAID and

NESTEA and in recent years the Company has also introduced products of daily

consumption and use such as NESTLE MILK, NESTLE SLIM MILK, NESTLE

Dahi and NESTLE Jeera Raita. Nestle has created brands like Nestle Milkmaid,

Nestle Everyday, Maggi Noodles, Maggi Soups, Polo, Kit Kat, Nescafe & many

more. The objective of Nestle is “We unlock the power of food to enhance

quality of life for everyone, today and for generations to come” and their motto

is ‘Good food, Good life’. As per the market-wise position Nestlé India stands

first in instant noodles & ketchups, second in healthy soups, No.1 in instant

coffee, & No.2 in overall chocolate category. The company innovates new

product & renovates existing one providing high quality, safe food products at

affordable prices. In June 2015, Nestle India's instant noodles product 'Maggi

Noodles' was banned by the Government of Delhi for a 15 day period after lead

and monosodium glutamate in samples of the product were found to be beyond

permissible limits. On 5 June 2015 Maggi noodles were banned nationwide by

the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). The ban was

overturned on 13 August 2015 following the Bombay High Court's order and

22

samples of Maggi Noodles were ordered to be retested within 6 weeks by three

labs authorized by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration

Laboratories. Nestle was fined ₹45 lakh for the incident by the district

administration. Between 5 June 2015 when the noodles were first banned and 1

September 2015, Nestle recalled 38,000 tonnes of Maggi Noodles from stores

and incinerated them at 11 cement plants across India Nestle eventually cleared

the Bombay High Court mandated lab tests and Maggi Noodles were allowed to

be manufactured and sold again.

It’s 1867 in Switzerland, and a premature baby cannot breastfeed, which is

worrying in an era when many infants die of malnutrition due to a lack of

effective breast milk alternatives. Henri Nestle learns about the case and feeds

the child his new ‘farine lactee’ infant food. It is the only product that the boy

can digest, and he survives. Word of Nestle’s success spreads rapidly, and

through determination, commitment and a pioneering spirit he builds a thriving

business. His life-saving innovation is the model for all those that follow

throughout Nestle’s 150 years, which show the company’s skill in meeting and

anticipating consumers’ changing needs. Worldwide, people now consume more

than one billion servings of Nestle products per day. The company operates in

over 197 countries and employs almost 340,000 people. It’s a far cry from the

small-scale business that Henri Nestle founded in Vevey, Switzerland. But

Nestlé still embraces his values, his famous ‘Nest’ logo, and its headquarters in

the city. The company’s early success was due to its investment in science-based

products and modern factories to produce them efficiently. Railways and

steamships gave Nestle & Anglo-Swiss access to new urban markets worldwide,

and it made savvy use of modern advertising media – newspapers, magazines,

billboards – to educate people on product benefits. Namely, nutrition, quality,

safety, affordability and taste. It’s a blueprint for success that, bar a few

necessary updates, still applies today. One other benefit that Nestle products have

always offered is convenience, and this became especially important after World

War Two, when more women entered the workplace, and people demanded

foods that were easy to prepare. By 1938, people could ‘start the day with a

23

Nescafé’, the world’s first great-tasting instant coffee, simply by adding hot

water. By 1948 they could enjoy Nesquik, a cocoa-based powder that dissolves

easily in cold milk. And by 1957, they could finish the day with Maggi pasta

‘ready meals’ in cans, which were hugely successful. Cans weren’t new, but

nutritious meals in cans were, and this quickly became a high-growth segment

for Nestle. Such foods had a long shelf life, were easy to heat then eat, and you

could even enjoy them cold. Cans were also simple to transport, so you could

consume them on a camping trip, for instance, along with your cup of Nescafe.

Such products helped to shape our modern world, and life would never be the

same. From the 1960s, you could also enjoy the convenience of Nestle frozen

foods and ice creams, which the company entered as domestic fridges and

freezers grew in popularity. In 1986 Nestle went one step further by creating its

own breakthrough Nespresso system, which changed the way we experience

premium coffee. Nespresso is another Nestle innovation that enhances people’s

quality of life, everywhere, every day. In doing so it brings pleasure, an emotion

we associate strongly with chocolate. Nestle first entered this key business in

1904 when it took on export sales for Peter & Kohler, later adding brands such

as Cailler and KitKat. Today Nestle business spans beverages, waters, dairy,

confectionery, petcare, even skincare. In 2011 the company extended its

leadership in Nutrition, Health and Wellness by creating Nestle Health Science,

to develop nutritional healthcare products that target optimal brain health, for

example, or healthy aging. Such innovations will help Nestlé address the global

challenges of malnutrition, growing and aging populations and obesity. This

same passion for nutrition underpins a commitment to improve products by

reducing salt, sugar and saturated fats, and fortify them with vitamins, minerals,

vegetables and whole grains. The main objectives of Nestle India ltd is to

manufacture and market the company’s products in such a way so as to create

value that can be sustained over the long term for consumers, shareholders,

employees and business partners. Nestle aims to create value for consumers that

can be sustained over the long term by offering a wide variety of high quality,

safe food products at affordable prices. The company continuously focuses its

24

DATA ANALYSIS AND

INTERPRETATION

26

Data analysis and interpretation

Data analysis and interpretation is the main heart of the study. It is the process

of inspecting, cleansing and transforming and modelling data with the goal of

discovering useful information, suggestion, conclusion and supporting decision

making. For this purpose, secondary sources are mainly used in this study. The

collection of secondary data was done by examination of relevant information

from the companies already published sources. The main tool used for data

analysis and interpretation is ratio analysis.

After identifying a research topic, doing a literature background research,

establishing philosophical assumptions and focus problem, deciding on an

appropriate research paradigm and methodology with specific purpose,

designing a research plan and collecting sufficient data, the next step in the

research process is data analysis and interpretation, which precedes reporting of

research. Data analysis is a process that involves examining and moulding

collected data for interpretation to discover relevant information, draw or

propose conclusions and support decision-making to solve a research problem.

meaning are identified and information is interpreted.

The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial analysis. It is

the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios. The ratio analysis is

used to study the liquidity, profitability and solvency position of the company. It

is with the help of ratios that the financial statements can be analysed more

clearly and decision making can be made from such analysis

various short term liabilities.

Fluctuations in the ratios show that there are some kind of management

problems or production problems that exist in Nestle India pvt ltd. the top

management should take necessary step to assemble the management and

workers in best way.

The pricing strategies should be in such a way that it should be affordable

to all kinds of customers and to improve supply chain policies.

In order to improve it’s solvency as well as liquidity, the company has an

opportunity of trading on equity even to the legitimate extent, the

company may request bank to convert a part of the overdraft in to the

medium term loan, which would ultimately the financial health of the

company.

It is advisable to take more efforts to increase the overall efficiency of the

business.
