CHAPTER: I
INTRODUCTION
Weston and Brigham (1994) define profitability as the net surplus of a large number of policies
and decisions “. Profit being an absolute figure fails to indicate the adequacy of income and
changes in efficiency resulting from financial and operational performance of an enterprise. Much
difficulty and confusion come home while interpreting the absolute figures of profit in case of
historical or inter firm comparison due to variation in the size of investment or volume of sale etc.
Such problems are handled by relating figures of profit either with the volume of sales or with the
level of investment.
A quantitative relationship is thereof established either in the form of ratios or percentages. Such
ratios are named as profitability ratios. Thus, profitability may be regarded as a relative term
measurable in terms of profit and its relation with other elements that can directly influence the
profit. No doubt, profit and profitability are closely related and mutually interdependent, yet they
are two different concepts.” The accounting concept of profit measures what has been
accumulated; the analytical concept of profitability is concerned with future accumulation of
wealth” (Basant,1978).

Paul(2000)states that a company or association of persons can be created at law as legal person so
that the company in itself can accept limited liability for civil responsibility and taxation incurred
as members perform (or fail) to discharge their duty within the publicly declared “birth certificate”
or published policy .Because companies are legal persons ,they also may associate and register
themselves as companies-often known as a corporate group .When the company closes it may need
a “death certificate” to avoid further legal obligations.
Chaudhary (1977) explains the word “business” can potentially include almost all economic
activities undertaken by humans, but it may be more prudent to confine the term to activities that
involve production or exchange of articles or goods. The history of business, like the history of
economic activities, can be most easily divided into three phases-businesses in pre-industrialized
world, business during the industrialization and finally business in the networked world.
Evolution of industry
Evolution of commerce
Evolution of companies:
Industrial development is the key to rapid economic progress of a country. Handicrafts and cottage
industries have been in Nepal since ancient times, but industrial development is still in its infancy.
Historically, the industrial development process began after the establishment of Biratnagar Jute
Mill. It was the first joint stock company of Nepal established under Company Act; this act has
been revised in 1957,1964, and 1997(2053 Chaitra). Nepal Bank Limited was established in 1937
for the development and growth of industry and trade (Basant,1978).
In between 1936 and 1949 a number of industries ,particularly in the fields of cotton textile ,sugar
match ,hydropower ,rice, and oil mills ,and cigarettes were set up in the south eastern and eastern
terai region Between 1945 and 1949 ,the prevailing war time inflator conditions and scarcity of
goods in the market provided a rare opportunity to these enterprise to make high profits .After the
second world war ,the demand for the goods produced in Nepal went into decline along with the
profits which resulted fall in confidence in industries and shutdowns(Chandra,2000).

The total number of public companies and proprietorship firms registered before 1950 reached the
figures of 59 and 299 respectively. In Nepal, development plans were implemented only from
1956(2013 B. S). The First-Year plan was implemented as a trial development corporation in
1959.In the same year, Nepal Factory and Factory Workers Act was also passed to allow industrial
development. In the plan period private firm registration act,1957 and industrial policy ,1960 was
announced (Pandey,1995).
In the Second Three Year Plan (1962-65) eleven public enterprise were established i.e. Birgunj
Sugar Factory, Janakpur Cigarette Factory, In the private sector sugar, metal, handicraft, hotel,
soap, biscuit, and sweets industries, etc. were established. Patan and Hetauda Industrial Estates
were established in the plan period. The Third Five Year Plan (1965-70) recognized
industrialization as an essential component of economic growth and gave it third priority. In this
plan period, Bansbari Leather and Shoe Factory, Agriculture Tools Factory, Himal Cement
Company, Nepal Tea Development Corporation, Dairy Development Corporation, were
established (Chandra ,1994).
The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Five Year Plans also emphasized the need to attract
private sector investment in industries. During the Eight Plan HMG adopted privatization,
economic liberalization and open market policies. Keeping in mind the condition of public
enterprises, HMG initiated privatization efforts from the Eighth Plan. The new revised industrial
policy (1992) has been greatly liberalized and made transparent. Foreign Investment and
Technology Transfer Act (B.S.2050) was reviewed to attract foreign investment and to emphasize
the transfer of advanced technology and efficient management. The Ninth plan (1997-2001)
continued to emphasize privatization and economic liberalization. The core objectives of the Tenth
plan (2002-2007) is participation in the private sector and to create additional employment in both
rural and urban areas to reduce poverty (Paul,2000).
Dabur Nepal Private Limited was established as an Independent Group Company in 1992.
Established with the objective of making you look and feel good. Dabur Nepal Private Limited has

medicinal plants that have immense value in Ayurvedic medicines), Nursery and Bee-keeping
Development Program (for production of medicinal plants and honey).
The study aims to find out the answer to the following questions:
• To analyze the relationship between Working Capital Efficiency and Profitability in Dabur
Nepal
• To examine the relationship between the size of the firm and profitability of Dabur Nepal.
• In this perspective, the current study will examine the Nepalese context of quality services and
its products. It would help in knowing the weak points and making improvements, as there`s
tough competition in the global arena.
• The study is not representing the overall company. It is basically a micro study.
• It is very difficult to know the activities of each department due to the short span of time.
• There are many factors that affect the company. However, only those factors, which are related
to profitability, are considered in this study.

Chapter: II
Profitability Ratios
11
Here the profitability ratios that business owners should look at regularly are Gross Profit Margin
Ratio, Operating Profit Margin Ratio, Net Profit Margin Ratio and Other Common Size Ratios.
The three measurements of profits – gross profit, operating profit and net profit – all come from
your company’s income statement (Troy, 1996).
Gross profit is what is left after the costs of goods sold have been subtracted from net sales. (Cost
of goods sold, also called “cost of sales,” is the price paid by your company for the products it sold
during the period you are looking at. It is the price of the goods, including inventory or raw
materials and labor used in production, but it does not include selling or administrative expenses.)
The ratio of gross profit as a percentage of sales is an important indicator of your company’s
financial health. Without an adequate gross margin, a company will be unable to pay its operating
and other expenses and build for the future.
A company’s gross margin is a very important measure of its profitability, because it looks at your
company’s major inflows and outflows of money: sales (money in) and the costs of goods sold
(money out). It is a real measure of profitability, because it must be high enough to cover costs
and provide for profits. Because it is an important barometer, you should monitor it closely. In
general, the company’s gross profit margin ratio should be sFigure. It should not fluctuate much
from one period to another, unless the industry the company is in is undergoing changes which
affect the costs of goods sold or pricing policies. The gross margin is likely to change whenever
prices or costs change.
The operating profit margin is an indicator of your company’s earning power from its current
operations. This is the core source of your company’s cash flow, and an increase in the operating
profit margin from one period to the next is considered a sign of a healthy, growing company. (If
12
your company’s operating income is not sufficient to generate the cash you need to keep operating,
you must find other sources of cash.)
In general, the operating profit margin is an indicator of management skill and operating efficiency.
It measures your company’s ability to turn sales into pre-tax profits. It is a ratio that you can use
to compare your company’s competitive position to others in the same industry. Because it looks
at a company’s operating income before taxes are subtracted, the operating profit margin is
sometimes considered a more objective evaluator than the net profit margin ratio.
While the calculation and evaluation of the gross profit margin ratio, the operating profit ratio, and
the net profit margin ratio are important, there are many other helpful tools you can use to get real
information from the data in your company’s income statement.
One of the most useful ways for the owner of a small business to look at the items listed on the
income statement is to see how each one relates to sales. This is done by constructing “common
size” ratios for the entire income statement. The phrase “common size ratio” may be unfamiliar to
you, but it is simple in concept and just as simple to create. You just calculate each line item on
the income statement as a percentage of total sales. (Divide each line item by total sales, then
multiply each one by 100 to turn it into a percentage.)
Profitability ratios compare income statement accounts and categories to show a company ability
to generate profits from its operations are:
13
Return on capital employed or ROCE is a profitability ratio that measures how efficiently a
company can generate profits from its capital employed by comparing net operating profit to
capital employed. It is a long-term profitability ratio because it shows how effectively assets are
performing while taking into consideration long-term financing. Return on capital employed
formula is calculated by dividing net operating profit or EBIT by the employed capital.
The return on equity ratio or ROE is a Profitability ratio that measures the ability of a firm to
generate profits from its shareholder’s investments in the company. In other words, the return on
equity ratio shows how much profit each common stockholder’s equity generates. ROE is also
an indicator of how effective management is at using equity financing to found operations and
grow the company.
Margin Ratios
2.2.1 Gross Profit Margin: Gross Profit Margin is a percentage value, specially a form of profit
dividend by net revenue. It is used to determine the value of incremental sales, and to guide pricing
and promotion decisions.

2.2.2 Net Profit Margin: It measures how successful a company has been at the business of
making a profit on each rupee sales. It is one of the most essential financial ratios.Net margin
includes all the factors that influence profitability whether under management control or not. The
higher the ratio, the more effective a company is at cost control.

In the above figure, the net profit margin of different fiscal year has been shown. As per the
figure, the highest rate of margin is 8% in FY 2020/21 and lowest is 2% in FY 2021/22.
2.2.3 Operating Profit Margin Ratio: Operating margin takes into account the costs of producing
the product or services that are unrelated to the direct production of the product or services, such
as overhead and administrative. It is calculated by dividing your operating profit (OP) by your net
sales (NS).

In the above figure, Fiscal Years and Operating Profit Margin have been measured in X-axis and
Y-axis respectively. From the above Figure it is clear that operating profit has been increasing till
2020/2120 and has decreased in 2020/2021. A higher operating margin is more favorable
compared with a lower ratio because this shows that the company is making enough money from
its ongoing operations to pay for its variable costs as well as its fixed costs.

Return Ratios:
2.2.4 Return on Assets (ROA): Return on Assets measures how efficiently a company can
manage its assets to produce profits during a period. Since company assets' sole purpose is to
generate revenues and produce profits, this ratio helps both management and investors see how
well the company can convert its investment in assets into profits.

In the above figure, Fiscal Year and ROA have been measured in X-axis and Y-axis respectively.
It shows that the return on assets ratio of the company is not sFigure in the last five fiscal years.
There is high fluctuation in return on assets ratio. And there is a very low return on assets ratio in
last fiscal year’s i.e. 2021/22.
2.2.5 Return on Equity (ROE): Return On equity is the amount of net income returned as a
percentage of shareholder’s equity. Return on equity measures a corporation profitability by
revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. In
other words, the return on equity ratio shows how much profit each common stockholder’s equity
generates. ROE is also an indicator of how effective management is at using equity financing to
fund operations and grow the company.

Higher values are generally favorable meaning that the company is efficient in generating income
on new investment. Investors should compare the ROE of different companies and also check the
trend in ROE over time. From the above Figure it is clear that ROE is highest in the year 2020/21
and decreases in the year 2021/22.
Liquidity Ratio:
Liquidity ratios measure a company’s ability to pay debt obligations and its margin of safety
through the calculation of ratios including the current ratio, quick ratio, and operating cash flow
ratio.

In the above figure, Fiscal Years and Current Ratio have been measured in X-axis and Y-axis
respectively. The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company’s ability to pay short-
21
term and long-term obligations. Liquid ratios should be 1. From the above Figure, it is clear that
the current ratio of the company is satisfactory.
2.2.7 Quick Ratio: The quick ratio is a measure of how well an associate can meet its short-term
financial liabilities. It is also known as the acid-test ratio.

In the above figure, Fiscal Years and Quick Ratio have been measured in X-axis and Y-axis
respectively.
If the quick ratio is higher, the company may keep too much cash on hand or have a problem
collecting its account receivable. Higher quick ratio is needed when the company has difficulty
borrowing on short term notes. A quick ratio higher than 1:1 indicates that the business can meet
its current financial obligations with the available quick funds on hand.
A quick ratio lower than 1:1 may indicate that the company relies too much on inventory or other
assets to pay its short-term liabilities. From the above Figure, it is clear that the quick ratio of the
company is not satisfactory.
Leverage Ratios:
A leverage ratio is meant to evaluate a company’s debt levels. The most common leverage ratios
are the debt ratio and debt-to-equity ratio.
2.2.8 Debt Ratio: A debt ratio is simply a company’s total debt divided by its total assets. The
formula is:

In the above figure, Fiscal Years and Debt Ratio have been measured in X-axis and Y-axis
respectively. In the general, a lower ratio is better. Value of 1 or less in debt ratios shows good
financial health of a company. From the above Figure it is clear that the debt ratio of the company
is satisfactory as it is decreasing.
2.2.9 Debt to Equity Ratio: The debt-to-equity ratio is a measure of the relationship between the
capital contributed by creditors and the capital contributed by owners. It also shows the extent to
which shareholders equity can fulfill a company’s obligation to creditors in the event of
liquidation.

In the above figure, Fiscal Years and Debt to Equity Ratio have been measured in X-axis and Y –
axis respectively. In general, a high debt-to equity ratio indicates that a company may not be able
to generate enough cash to satisfy its debt obligations. However, low debt-to-equity trios may also
indicate that a company is not taking advantage of the increased profits that financial leverage may
bring. This is why comparison of debt ratios is generally most meaningful among companies
within the same industry, and the definition of a “high” or “low” ratio should be made within this
context.
25
Here the profitability ratios that business owners should look at regularly are Gross Profit Margin
Ratio, Operating Profit Margin Ratio, Net Profit margin measures how successful a company has
been at the business of making a profit on each rupee sales. Net profit margin ratio of the company
has been at the business of making a profit on each rupee sales. Net profit margin ratio of the
company shows decreasing trend throughout the study period. In the year 2021/22, the ratio was 2
percent. So, it shows that the company is in a satisfactory position. Operating profit has been
increasing till 2020/2120 and has decreased in 2020/2021. Return on Assets ratio measures a
corporation’s profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money
shareholders have invested. Higher values are generally favorable meaning that the company is
efficient in generating income on new investment. From the study it is clear that ROE is highest
in the year 2020/2120 and has decreased in the year 2021/22.
The liquidity ratio measures the ability of affirm to meet its short-term obligations and select the
short –term financial solvency of a firm. The liquidity position of the company in terms of current
ratios shows that the ratios of the company are always below the normal standard (i.e. 2:1). It
shows that the liquidity position in terms of current assets to current liabilities of the company is
better. So, it is concluded that the company has a better short-term solvency position. Quick ratio
should be 1:1. Its quick ratio is 0.07 in the year 2021/22. From the figure, it is clear that the quick
ratio of the company is not satisfactory.
A leverage ratio is meant to evaluate a company’s debt level. The total debt to total shareholder’s
fund ratio of the company is 12% in 2021/22. The capital structure position in terms of total debt
to shareholder’s equity ratio of the company is very low. The average of total debt to shareholder’s
equity ratio implies that the proportion of outsiders' claim, in the total capitalization, is lower. Total
debt to total assets ratio implies a bank's success in exploiting debts to be more profiFigure as well
as its capital structure.
The total debt to total assets ratio of the company is 0.70 in 2021/22. Total debt to total assets ratio
of the company is lower. From this analysis, the capital structure ratio has clearly mentioned that
total debt to shareholder’s fund and total assets are slightly lower.

CHAPTER: III
This chapter is dedicated to provide summary and conclusion after collecting and analyzing the
financial data of Dabur Nepal.
3.1 Summary
A company is a legal entity made up of an association of people, be they natural, legal, or a mixture
of both, for carrying on a commercial or industrial enterprise. Company members share a common
purpose and unite in order to focus their various talents and organize their collectively available
skills or resources to achieve specific, declared goals.
Integrated and speedy development of the country is possible only when competitive
manufacturing companies reach every nook and corners of the country. Today a number of
manufacturing companies are concentrated in only a few places because of the lack of development
of infrastructure in remote places. Government must give attention to remote places.
Business plays a vital role in the economic development of nations. So today it is challenging for
the government to formulate the business and industrial policy rationally in remote areas. Actually,
more than 60% of the total area of Nepal is covered with rural areas. For the economic development
of rural areas, it is necessary to develop industrial and business sectors in rural areas.
The research work entitled the comparative study on profitability analysis of Dabur Nepal Pvt.
Ltd. To evaluate the profitability of the company, we have divided the whole report into different
chapters. In every chapter, there are several sub-chapters. The first Introduction chapter gives
background information about the project work, introduction of Dabur Nepal, problem statements,
objectives, rationale, and limitations of the study. The second literature review chapter includes
conceptual review and review of related studies. The third chapter is called methodology. includes
design, sources of data, data collection techniques and data analysis tools. The fourth chapter called
Presentation and Analysis of Data, we tried to analyze its profitability through Ratio Analysis. By
28
using this financial tool, we computed different ratios to evaluate Profitability Position and
Financial Position.
To know the real performance of Dabur Nepal, the researcher observed and analyzed the
profitability analysis of the company for five years’ period. It is hoped that the comparative
profitability analysis of the company will give a rational result and represent the overall scenario
in terms of performance analysis.
Ratio analysis is a very significant tool to financial performance analysis. It is one of the means by
which financial stability, wealth, viability, and performance of a firm can be judged. Current ratio
of Dabur Nepal is more than its theoretical norm that is 2:1. Its current ratio is 1.13 in the year
2021/22. But there is no matter to worry about because the company has kept enough liquid assets.
It is clear that the current ratio of the company is satisfactory.
Ideally, the quick ratio should be 1:1. Its quick ratio is 0.07 in the year 2021/22. A quick ratio
lower than 1.1 may indicate that the company relies too much on inventory or other assets to pay
its short-term liabilities. From the figure, it is clear that the quick ratio of the company is not
satisfactory. It should manage cash properly because cash on hand doesn’t generate any income.
In aggregate, there is nothing to be worried about the liquidity position of the company since its
quality of current assets is very good which can be easily converted into cash within a short period
without any loss of its assets.
The debt position is also favorable to the management because it has not borrowed much loan from
banks and institutions in the last years which is in decreasing trend.
The profitability position of the company is much satisfactory. The net profit of the company has
increased as compared to its increment in investment.
3.2 Conclusion
Chapter titled Profitability Analysis of Dabur Nepal Pvt. Ltd describes the conceptual framework
of financial efficiency and profitability. Financial efficiency is the ability of a given investment to
earn a return from its use. It's a vital instrument to measure not only the business performance but
also overall efficiency. In present study seven types of measurement tools of financial efficiency
29
were discussed i.e. Gross profit ratio, operating profit ratio, net profit ratio, return on capital
employed, return on equity, return on assets, current ratio, quick ratio, debt equity ratio, and debt
ratio.
From the finding, it can be assumed that the company has to seek other prospective customers and
other markets to increase the market area. The Limited market area is not sufficient to sell the
product and gain the aspect of the profit. The firm considers not only making more profit but also
considers social factors too because the firm is existing in the society and operates in this society.
So, the firm sees social welfare while operating. Hence, firms oversee the welfare and seniority
about the cost of production, sales of production customers wants, demand of products and
markets.
