Introduction
Below are the ratio findings based on Kingspan PLC’s annual report year ended 31st December 2010. The ratios are calculated for both 2010 and 2009.
The ratios are as follows:
1. Profitability Ratios

1.1 Gross Profit Ratio 2010 2009 Gross Profit 333,694 x 100% = 27.96% 308,913 x 100% = 27.45%
Sales Revenue 1,193,215 1,125,523

There is a slightly higher Gross Profit in 2010. Kingspan are now holding onto .51% more of each euro of sales then they were in 2009. This is due to the increase in sales.

1.2 Net Profit Ratio 2010 2009 Net Profit (before Int & Tax) 67,405 x 100% = 5.65% 62,659 x 100% = 5.57%
Sales Revenue 1,193,215 1,125,523

There is a slight increase of.08% in 2010 compared to 2009. If going by the gross profit ratio this should have been higher; this indicates that they need to manage their expenses more efficiently thus increasing their net profit.
