Internal financial reporting
•
Primarily to provide management with information on which to make business
decisions.
•
Management identifies Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) – the
measurements which tell us whether we are operating profitably or not - and
tracks actual performance against budgeted targets
•
KPI’s can be financial and non-financial. At Edrington we broadly separate
financial KPI’s into three categories
Operational (making)
Whisky cost variances
Supply chain variances
Logistics variances
Distillation production cost/loa
Cask investment
Stock on hand
Commercial (selling)
Cased contribution
- by brand & market
A&P spend
- by brand & market
Group (overall)

External financial reporting
•
Primarily to provide investors, banks and authorities with information on
which to make their decisions.
•
Format of statutory reporting governed by law and accounting rules. For UK
private companies, only annual report required.
•
Annual report requires to be audited by independent auditors
•
Tax returns are submitted to the HMRC together with the statutory financial
statements.
•
Banks and private lenders request access to both internal and external
financial information.
•
They are interested in ability of company to generate cash for loan repayment.

External financial reporting – bank covenants
•
Banks commonly use ratios to determine whether a company has sufficient
profit and cash flow to meet its loan repayments. These are generally used to
assess whether the “gearing” of the company is appropriate.
•
Simply put, gearing is the level of debt in a company, relative to net assets
owned by shareholders (shareholders’ equity). A highly geared company will
have a lot of debt, with minimal equity. It will need to generate significant profit
to repay loan interest and is considered higher risk. This also applies to nation
states!
•
Common ratios used to measure gearing are:
- Net debt/EBITDA
- EBIT/ Net interest
• The bank sets targets for these ratios called covenants. If the company fails to
meet the target, the cost of borrowing (interest) goes up, and the bank can
ultimately decide to ‘call in’ the loan which could put the company out of
business.
