Abstract:

The goal of this diploma thesis is to implement a financial analysis on which outcomes of the company's performance in the market will be analyzed. Furthermore, the records will be based on financial results from the last particular years, from 2008 to 2019, in order to identify broad information about the company's progress and the dynamics of the company's performing area. The main methods which are implemented for determining the importance of financial reporting data are: vertical analysis (structural) and horizontal analysis(so-called trend) A horizontal analysis examines a set of financial statement data over time. The vertical analysis assesses financial statement data by expressing each line item as a percentage of the total amount. The link between selected components of financial statement data is expressed through ratio analysis. Horizontal analysis is largely used for comparing companies. Respectively, the most important factors of trend analysis are time series and recognition. Another analysis that will be implemented is financial ratio analysis, which basically will analyze the publicly shared data of the company in their financial statements: balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. After calculating all the necessary data, it will be compared to the financial results of the competitor, which is “Unilever” and will be compared. As a final touch, the company's financial performance will be described based on the obtained data.
