  • Case of Financial Ratio Analysis: Communications Industry in Canada (2012-2016) (Bce Bell - Cogeco – Rogers – Shaw – Telus)
    CASE FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS – COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY (2012-2016) July 21, 2017 CASE OF FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS: COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IN CANADA (2012-2016) (BCE BELL - COGECO – ROGERS – SHAW – TELUS) Alberto Calva // Acus Consulting Ltd [email protected] // Twitter: @acalva July 21, 2017 CONCLUSIONS a) It is important for every manager or business owner to periodically do financial analysis of its business. One of these analysis can be a financial ratio analysis, to review both the performance of the company as well as its profitability. b) Financial ratio, as seen in this analysis, have certain advantages (and some disadvantages, too). It is possible to compare companies with different size. It is possible to compare companies from different countries. Changes in time because of size of the company or inflation can be minimized with a financial ratio analysis. c) All five companies analyzed in this report have in general a good performance and therefore a good profitability. Nevertheless, not all have the same profitability. The areas to improve are very likely not the same for all of them. Also, in general they present better ratios than those available for the Canadian market. WHAT WE DO FOR THIS ANALYSIS a) This is a more or less common analysis that we do at Acus Consulting Ltd. b) Specifically for this analysis we selected five of the largest public companies in the communications industry in Canada. All of them are listed in the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). c) The five companies analyzed are BCE (Bell Canada Enterprises) (BCE), Cogeco Communications (CCA), Rogers Communications (RCI), Shaw Communications (SJR) and Telus Corporation (T).

However, at Rogers, our strategy is built to embrace this change. During 2000, as convergence continued to define the future, we continued to define convergence. Our Cable business solidified its position as the distribution means of choice for digital entertainment and high-speed Internet access. At Rogers™ AT&T® Wireless, we committed to new GSM/GPRS technology that will soon enable our national networks to transmit vast quantities of data using the leading interna- tional standard. And our Media group profited from its commanding position as a major Canadian content supplier. In all our markets, competition is intense. As our financial results show, we are investing aggressively to secure our long-term competitive position while producing stable results. Propelled by strong top-line growth at all operat- ing companies, overall revenues for Rogers increased during 2000 by 12.8% from $3,107.8 million to $3,504.2 million. Operating income before depreciation and amor- tization was $917.7 million, an increase of 2.7% from $893.8 million in 1999. Importantly, in a year when investments in capital expenditures were $1.2 billion, primarily for cable and wireless upgrades, we managed to maintain our long term debt-to-EBITDA ratio at approximately 4:1.
