Darden's 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,...

Darden Restaurant Cost of Goods Sold.

Darden Restaurant’s cost of goods sold (COGS) was $2.3 billion in 2018.  In 2022, their cost of goods sold was $2.9 billion.  The firm’s average growth rate annually for the last five years was 8%.  This trend indicates that the organization’s cost of goods sold had grown consistently faster than its revenues.  Unfortunately, this trend is unsustainable.  Either the organization needs to increase prices to cover the raw material cost increases or do a better job negotiating the raw material costs with suppliers.  From an investor’s perspective, this is a poor trend.

Darden Restaurant 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,...

Darden's Property, Plant, and Equipment

Darden Restaurant’s property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) were $2.4 billion in 2018 or 33% of sales.  In 2022, their property, plant, and equipment were $3.3 billion, or 39.6% of sales.  This trend indicates that the company is using more fixed assets while generating fewer sales per dollar of assets.  This trend should be concerning for investors.

Darden Restaurant Financial Ratios Sample

Darden Restaurant Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio

Darden Restaurant’s fixed asset turnover in 2018 was 3.33.  In 2022, their fixed asset turnover was 2.87.  This trend indicates the organization, again, continually underutilized fixed assets under management.  The firm either needs to divest underutilized fixed assets or implement strategies to increase revenues and further optimize fixed assets under management.  From an investor’s perspective, this is a poor trend.

Analyst Grade: C

Darden's Return on Equity

Darden Restaurant’s return on equity (ROE) in 2018 was 27.1%.  In 2022, their return on equity was 43.3%.  This trend indicates the organization is generating more revenues on a consistent basis using equity provided by investors.  From an investor’s perspective, this is a good trend.
