The importance of the evaluation of financial statements
and performance ratios
Discussion: Who is interested
in bank performance?
What are the benefits of
understanding bank financial
statements ad bank
performance?

3.2. BANK PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS
•For the bank:
•More intense competition, greater pressures for banks to control costs and
manage risks while at the same time maximiserevenues.
•The objective of shareholders’ wealth maximisation(maximisingthe returns to
investors holding equity shares in the bank) is still a priority.
•Therefore banks need to evaluate the performance to make informed decisions.
•For other stakeholders:
•Performance analysis is an important tool used by various agents either
operating not only internally to the bank (e.g. managers, above points), but
also who form part of the bank’s external operating environment (e.g. regulators)

3.2. BANK PERFOERMANCE AND FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS
3.2.1. Profitability Ratios
ROA (Return-on-asset)
ROA is the return-on-assets calculated as net income/total assets; this
ratio indicates how much net income is generated per $ of assets.
ROA = net income/ total assets

3.2.1. Profitability Ratios
NIM (Net income margin)
NIM is net interest margin and measures the net interest income relative to
the bank’s total, average or earning assets.
NIM = [(interest income –interest expense)/total assets]
3.2. BANK PERFOERMANCE AND FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS
3.2.1. Profitability Ratios
C/I (Cost-income ratio)
Cost–income ratio (C/I) is a quick test of efficiency that reflects bank
non-interest costs as a proportion of income
C/I = non-interest expenses/(interest income + non–interest income)

3.2.4 Limitationsof financial ratios
1)Generally one year’s figures are insufficient to evaluate the performance
of banks
2)Precise comparisons between similar banks may be difficult as they often
compete in different markets, have varying product features and customer
bases, and so on.
3)Ratios do not stand in isolation, they are interrelated
