    The Current Ratio decrease, due to assests, and an increase in liabilities, which indicates a 2.23% change in the ratio of assets to liabilities. The sharp drop in cash was offset by large rises in Net Accounts Receivable and Inventory, which are ordinarily unfavorable events also. However, if significant supplies were purchased (due to vendor discounts), the increase in Inventory could have been an astute business decision. The uncollected Accounts Receivables are troublesome.…

    Veritiv’s total assets for this accounting period are $1,215 million dollars (Morningstar, 2014). The total assets of the prior annual reporting period were $1,039 million dollars (Morningstar, 2014). The reason this information is important is that assets stand for elements of value that each company owns; whether outright in their control or is due them. Moreover, it is more important when looking at total assets of the company is how they change over time; meaning if a company cash assets and marketable securities increase, while inventory is reduced it show that the company has become more efficient in their handling of assets methods (SpireFrame, 2014).…

    The company’s accounts payable is also a concern. Its accounts payable has grown by 17.94% per year on average, compared to its sales growth of 16.96% per year on average. Their accounts payable turnover has increased from 67.88 days and 70.22 days from 2007 to 2011 respectively. (Appendix B, E) This allows them to make it seem like they have more cash than they actually do, because they should be using it to repay their debts. This is also vulnerable to change even more, because of the cyclical pattern…

    On the Liabilities side, Current Liabilities have shown a downward trend from FY08 onwards, with an average fall of around 14%. But for the year 2010 vs. 2009, there has been a slight net increase of around $150 MIO due to higher accrued expenses, A/c Pay and Notes Pay. Even though the current portion of LTD reduced substantially by around $400 MIO, it was still not enough to bring the year on year figure down. Long term liabilities registered a decline, which translated into Total Liabilities reducing for FY10 over FY09 by around 3.5%. Another key indicator in the Liabilities section was a reduction in the Income Tax Payable for the year, a drop of almost $300 MIO, which also reflected in the reduction in cash and cash equivalents in the Current Assets section.…

Net cash used in investing activities reaches a peak t 2008. Net cash used in financing activities shows an upward trend with a peak in 2008. Cash and cash equivalents show a peak in 2008, with a smaller peak in 2006. *CC5 FIVE-YEAR GROWTH RATES Sales and net-income have increased over the years but the per-share results are different because the number of shares goes up considerably in 2008, reducing per-share values and making growth rates negative. No dividends were paid in the first two years and as a result, the growth in dividends per share has been 100%. Equity per share has shown a growth over the years. Issuing more shares has resulted in lower sales and net income per share. The negative effect is especially felt on net income per share.
