Amazon.com Income Statement Analysis Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through a broad definition of what an income statement is and why it is essential.  From this, I then discuss and define important income statement line items, such as revenues, gross profits, etc., in detail.  Finally, I offer a summary analysis of the company's important income statement line item trends.  For example,...

Amazon's Cost of Goods Sold.

Amazon's cost of goods sold for 2016 was approximately $88.2 billion.  As compared to revenues, the percentage was 64.9%.  In the next four years, the organization's cost of goods sold would increase to $233 billion.  As compared to revenues, this would be 60.4%.  A decline in COGS may mean that the organization is able to increase their prices at a faster pace as compared to their cost of goods sold growth.  The ability to increase gross profit margins like this, especially in the technology industry, is an exceptional feat.

Amazon.com Balance Sheet Analysis Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through a broad definition of what a balance sheet is and why it is important.  From this, I then discuss and define important balance sheet line items, such as cash, inventory, etc., in detail.  Finally, I offer a summary analysis of the company's important balance sheet line item trends.  For example,...

Amazon.com Property, Plant, and Equipment

Amazon's property, plant, and equipment ended 2016 at $29.1 billion.  In the next several years, the organization's property, plant, and equipment would grow substantially, ending 2020 at $113.1 billion.  As compared to sales, in 2016, the organization's property, plant, and equipment was 22.1%.  The property, plant, and equipment would grow substantially as compared to sales over the next four years ending 2020 at 31.1%.  This indicates that the organization is increasing its fixed assets at a faster pace as compared to sales.  This often means that the firm is expecting substantial long-term growth and is preparing now to support it.

Amazon.com Financial Ratios Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through definitions of various popular financial ratios, how to calculate the ratios, formulas used, etc. Also, for some popular financial ratios, I provide brief explanations of what the ratios mean as it is related to the company.

https://youtu.be/ZYMxONrHuNI

Amazon Quick Ratio

Amazon's quick ratio ended 2016 at .78.  In the next two years, the organization's quick ratio would increase slightly, ending 2018 at .85.  From this point, Amazon would maintain a quick ratio close to .86.  Overall, having a quick ratio close to one shows significant liquidity for the organization.  If there's any optimization to make, it would be for the company to slightly reduce their quick ratio back towards a .76 range.  The firm does generate cash on a daily basis.  Because of this, their liquidity needs are probably quite low due to the continued cash flow.

Amazon.com Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio

Amazon ended 2016 with a fixed asset turnover of 4.6.  In the next two years, the organization's fixed asset turnover would fall to 3.7.  Fortunately, in 2019, the organization would rebound its fixed asset turnover ending the year at 3.8.  However, the company would again fall with its fixed asset turnover ending 2020 at 3.4.  This indicates that the organization is not fully utilizing its fixed assets.  Heck, the organization is actually continually underutilizing its assets more and more, year over year.  To improve the strategy, the organization either needs to increase revenues, which would justify having the currently underused fixed assets, or divest the fixed assets and use the cash obtained for other revenue-generating purposes.

Amazon.com Return on Equity

Amazon's return on equity ended 2016 at 12.2%.  In the next year, the organization's return on equity would fall slightly to 10.9%.  Fortunately, in the next year, through 2020, the organization would achieve a substantial return on equity achievements ranging from 18.6% to 23%.  An excellent way to further improve the organization's return on equity would be to take on additional debt.  As an organization takes on debt, its reliance on equity falls.  This inevitably leads to a higher return on equity for shareholders.
