In August of 2015, Felix Farmer received notice that he would be inheriting a large sum of money from his great-uncle’s will. Farmer is contemplating investing $50,000 CAD ($38,251 USD) of his inheritance in the parent company of his favorite hockey brand, Bauer. Performance Sports Group (PSG) is a leading manufacturer in the global sporting goods industry that is publicly traded on both the Toronto and New York Stock exchanges, and the parent of such highly successful brands as Bauer and Easton. This case study challenges students to calculate financial ratios, apply various other financial analyses to understand the financial performance of PSG, and complete a Porter’s (2008) Five Forces industry analysis as a means of deciding whether Farmer should invest a portion of his inheritance with PSG.

The current ratio, quick ratio, cash ratio, debt ratio, total debt/equity ratio, net margin, return on equity, interest coverage ratio, total asset turnover, inventory turnover, and receivable turnover were used as financial ratios. The CRITIC method, one of the objective weighting methods, was applied to determine the importance level of financial ratios.

This study aims to analyze trends in financial performance of a food company and test the validity of financial ratio instruments that have been used by financial practitioners and academics. For this reason, we designed an exploratory study through a single case study at a food company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). We analyze the company's financial data using a variety of ratio analysis commonly used in financial disciplines, such as operational ratios, financial ratios, and stock performance. The analysis was deepened by describing the results of factor analysis to test the validity of financial ratio instruments. We find that the company's financial performance tends to fluctuate over time. When viewed from the sales side, the company's performance showed an increase since 2010. If we observe the profit margin, the company's financial performance tends to decrease. Operational ratio trends also show a decline from 2013 to 2015. Furthermore, the results of factor analysis indicate that the ratio of net income to overall assets is the strongest indicator to measure the company's financial ratios. In contrast to previous studies, this study found that the ratio of operating income to equity was not proven valid as a measure of financial ratios. In summary, this study succeeded in providing significant contributions and novelty for practical and theoretical interests through the validation of financial ratios that are widely used so far.

Financial performance and financial equilibrium are two key aspects that should be monitored by any business manager interested in passing the test of time and overcoming unpredictable events such as economic crises. The organic link between financial performance and financial equilibrium has rarely been studied in the long run for companies listed on the stock market. The present article fills this gap in the literature by examining the degree to which financial performance influenced long-term financial equilibrium using data from 34 major companies publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and operating around the world in a wide variety of industries and sectors. The period of analysis spread over a decade (2007Q1–2020Q3) in order to cover two major crises that have marked the dawn of the third millennium and occurred relatively close to one another: the 2008 financial meltdown and the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. By means of panel data modelling, the study showed that the short-term and long-term financial equilibria of these public companies measured by current ratio, quick ratio and debt to equity ratio were significantly impacted by different financial performance indicators. The study addresses various implications of the empirical results and lays out avenues for future research.

Favo Star Fastindo Garments is Z-Score (Multivariance Discriminant Analysis) created by Prof. Edward I Altman from New York University. The mathematical equation of the Z-Score = 1.717 X I + 0.847 X2 + 3.107 X3 + 0.420 X4 + 0.998 X5.  Based on the general analysis from 2002 to 2004 and trend for 2005, it can be concluded that the financial performance of PT. Favo Star Fastindo Garments was categorized as “healthy” with declining efficiency. This was proved by all the Z-Scores that lower than healthy standard Z-Score from Altman. However, in time detailed analysis  the ZScores  tend to decrease, caused by discriminant values from  2002 – 2004 that tend to decrease, even in 2005 trend analysis the discriminant value was 3 X 3, that is smaller than standard healthy value from Altman. This was a warning for the management to instantly conduct improvement action, if not in the coming years other discriminant values may be fall which automatically the Z-Score also falls and eventually lead to the company’s bankruptcy
