Netflix's Income Statement Analysis Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through a broad definition as to what an income statement is and why it is important.  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,...

Netflix Cost of Goods Sold.

Netflix’s cost of goods sold as compared to revenues in 2017 was 65.5%.  In the next four years, the organization’s cost of goods sold as compared to revenues would continually decline, ending 2021 at 58.4%.  The decline in the cost of goods sold as compared to revenues shows that the firm is continually increasing its gross profit margin.  This is an excellent trend. 

Further, the organization’s cost of goods sold growth rate over the last five years, on average, was 22.8%.  Comparing this with the organization’s revenue growth rate, which was 26.4% annually, on average, for the last five years, shows that the firm is again continually expanding its gross profit margin.

Netflix's 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,...

Netflix Property, Plant, and Equipment

Netflix’s property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) were $319 million in 2017.  In the next four years, the organization’s property, plant, and equipment would balloon to $1.3 billion in 2021.  As compared to sales, the organization’s property, plant, and equipment was 21.9% in 2017.  As of 2021, this percentage was 34.5%.  This shows that the firm is acquiring property, plants, and equipment at a faster pace as compared to sales growth.  This phenomenon may lead to the underutilization of company assets, specifically fixed assets, if the trend continues.  From an investor’s perspective, this is a poor trend.

Netflix's 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.

Netflix's Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio

Netflix’s fixed asset turnover was 36.6 in 2017.  As of 2021, the firm’s fixed asset turnover would fall substantially, ending the year at 22.4.  If the company is expecting substantial growth in the near to moderate term, then the decline in fixed asset turnover may be justifiable.  However, this trend has continued for several years.  From this, it’s almost evident that the company is underutilizing fixed assets.  From an investor’s perspective, this is a poor trend.

Analyst Grade: C

Netflix's Return on Equity

Netflix’s return on equity (ROE) was 15.6% in 2017.  For the next several years, the company would increase its return on equity, ending 2021 at 32.2%.  This trend indicates that the company may be shifting its capital structure to rely more on debt as compared to equity.  If this is the case, then the firm is also continually increasing its financial risk.  From an investor’s perspective, this is a good trend.
