The Usefulness of Financial Ratios in Discriminating Between Healthy and Distress
Companies: A Case of an Islamic Bank
Nerma Saračević & Nataša Šarlija
MOTIVATION OF THE RESEARCH (1/2) Financial ratios have important role in
estimating company’s creditworthiness. Financially healthy company can be
distinguished from the financially distressed company by examining financial ratios.
Financial ratios are usually divided into 5 groups: Liquidity Activity Profitability Efficiency Leverage
MOTIVATION OF THE RESEARCH (2/2) In focus of many researchers : Chan & Shimerda (1981)
reviewed 26 articles that classified 65 financial ratios incorporated in predictive studies between 1966-1975
41 financial ratios important in prediticion of company’s failure. Pinches, Mingo and Caruthers classified useful ratios in seven
factors: Return on Investment Capital Turnover Financial Leverage Short-term Liquidity Cash-position Inventory Turnover Receivables Turnover
THE AIM OF THE RESEARCH
Investigate which set of financial ratios is important in the analysis of companies which are clients of an Islamic bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Some authors ( Zeni&Ameer,2010; Ardiansyah&Quoyum,2010; Anwar&Watanabe, 2010; Abdou et al.,2014, Pok, 2012; Ahmadi et al., 2012) investigated the role of financial ratios in assessing the quality of companies for financing by IBs.
PREVIOUS RESEARCH Investigation of the ratios belonging to each of
the 5 groups: liquidity, activity, profitability, efficiency and leverage: Healthy companies have higher liquidity ratios Increase in leverage ratio lead to financial distress Higher activity ratios mean higher chances of surviving
during the recession Healthy companies have higher efficiency ratios Lower profitability ratios for distressed companies
Differences in diversity of the ratios

PREVIOUS RESEARCH (1/2) Analysis of financial ratio is a step to the
development of distress prediction model. Most famous prediction models:
Altman z-score Model (1968) composed of the following ratios: working capital/ total assets , retained earnings/total assets, market value equity/book value of total debt, sales/total assets;
Olson o-score Model(1980) included the following ratios: size, total liabilities/total assets, working capital/total assets,current liabilities/current assets, net income/total assets, funds provided by operational/total liabilities, and change in net income.
PREVIOUS RESEARCH (2/2) Some others models in developing countries
Abbas & Rashid (2011) composed Model for non-financial companies in Pakistan. It consists of three ratios: sales/ total assets, EBIT/ current liabilities, and cash flow ratios.
Sarlija & Jeger (2011) analyzed Model composed of the four ratios ( total revenue/total assets, total revenue/short-term assets, ((short term assets- inventory)/ sales), equity/total assets) during the time before recession and period at the beginning recession in Croatia.
Altman et al (2014) made the study in international context where they found that re-estimated z”-score Model is improved for B&H.
Laitinen & Suvas (2013) made model for 30 European countries including B&H. Most important variables for B&H are assets and return of assets.
METHODOLOGY Available data set is consisted of 419 companies from one IB
in B&H Financial statements over the period 2009-2013:
Distressed company - if it wasn’t able to pay a single obligation continously over the period longer than 90 days
Calculated financial ratios of liquidity, leverage, activity, efficiency and profitability

earnings to assets are statistically significant in most of the analyzed years
- healthy companies have higher profitability ratios.
CONCLUSION The most important ratios: profitability ratios
and activity ratios. Liquidity ratios are not found to be significant Unusual: liquidity ratios as well as leverage
ratios are not proven to be important in distinguishing between healthy and distressed companies
FUTURE RESEARCH Develop multi-factor model Include other financial indicators related to income
statement e.g. total liabilities/total income, cash flow
Include ratios which indicate companies’ performance over time.
The specificity of Islamic financial instruments should be included
This study is the first step towards developing a model of the internal rating in the Islamic bank which predicts probability of default
