FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2

Coca-Cola Enterprises Financial Ratio Analysis

Coca-Cola Enterprises is the largest beverage company in the world and it was the

number 1 brand in accordance to a fortune survey, which was carried out in 2009. Coca-Cola

Enterprises has operated a franchised distribution system since 1889 and its headquarters are

located in Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola Enterprises has various local operations in above 200

countries worldwide and it has over 160,000 employees around the world (The Wall Street

Journal, 2014). Financial analysis is mainly an assessment of an organization’s future,

present, and past financial conditions, which is usually done in order to certify the

organization’s financial strengths as well as weaknesses. This is done using primary tools,

which include financial statements and a comparison of various financial ratios to all

organizations, sector, and past industry. Among the financial ratios used in financial analysis,

include liquidity ratios, which assess the ability of an organization to meet its current

obligations. On the other hand, leverage ratios are used in assessing an organization’s ability

to meet its long-term debt obligations (Gibson, 2012). This study will conduct a financial

analysis for Coca-Cola Enterprises.

From the various financial statements of Coca-Cola Enterprises, it is evident that the

sales/revenue ration for the company was $46.77 billion in 2011, $48.07billion in 2012, and

$46.7 billion in 2013, which is an indication that Coca-Cola Enterprises sales/revenues ratio

was increasing as compared to industry benchmark, which was expected to decrease. The

major reason for this decrease projection was the world’s economic environment, which was

hostile since consumers did not have enough money due to the effects of recent global crisis.

On the other hand, the earnings/share ratio was 1.92 in 2011, 2.01 in 2012, and 2.08 in 2013,

which also shows that Coca-Cola Enterprises share value was escalating and investors had a

lot of trust in the company (The Wall Street Journal, 2014).
