INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study


Profitability means ability to make profit from all the business activities of an Organization,
company, firm, or an enterprise. It shows how efficiently the Management can make profit by
using all the resources available in the market. According to Harward & Upton, “profitability is
the ‘the ability of a given investment to earn a return from its use.” However, the term
‘Profitability’ is not synonymous to the term ‘Efficiency’. Profitability is an index of efficiency;
and is regarded as a measure of efficiency and management guide to greater efficiency. However,
profitability is an important yardstick for measuring the efficiency, the extent of profitability
cannot be taken as a final proof of efficiency. Sometimes satisfactory profits can mark
inefficiency and conversely, a proper degree of efficiency can be accompanied by an absence of
profit. The net profit figure simply reveals a satisfactory balance between the values receive and
value given. The change in operational efficiency is merely one of the factors on which
profitability of an enterprise largely depends. Moreover, there are many other factors besides
efficiency, which affect the profitability.

Sometimes, the terms ‘Profit’ and ‘Profitability’ are used interchangeably. But in real sense, there
is a difference between the two. Profit is an absolute term, whereas, the profitability is a relative
concept. However, they are closely related and mutually interdependent, having distinct roles in
business. Profit refers to the total income earned by the enterprise during the specified period of
time, while profitability refers to the operating efficiency of the enterprise. It is the ability of the
enterprise to make profit on sales. It is the ability of enterprise to get sufficient return on the
capital and employees used in the business operation. As Weston and Brigham rightly notes “to
the financial management profit is the test of efficiency and a measure of control, to the owners a
measure of the worth of their investment, to the creditors the margin of safety, to the government
a measure of taxable capacity and a basis of legislative action and to the country profit is an
index of economic progress, national income generated and the rise in the standard of living”
while profitability is an outcome of profit. In other words, no profit drives towards profitability.
Firms having same amount of profit may vary in terms of profitability. That is why R. S. Kul

1
Shrestha has rightly stated, “Profit in two separate business concern may be identical, yet, many a
times, and it usually happens that their profitability varies when measured in terms of size of
investment”.
A bank is financial institution that accepts deposit from the public and creates credit. Leading
activities can be performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets. Due to their
impotence in the financial stability of a country, banks are highly regulated in most countries.
Most nation have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking under which
bank hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. In additional to their
regulation intended to ensure liquidity banks are generally subject to minimum capital
requirement based on an international of set capital standard known as the Basel accords.
(wikipedia.org)
The term 'bank' is derived from the Latin word 'bancus', Italian word 'banca' and French word 'banque' all
of which mean 'a bench'. At ancient times there used to be some moneylenders who sat in the bench for
keeping, lending and exchanging of money in the market place.
Bank is a financial intermediary accepting deposit and granting loans. In fact, a modern bank performs
variety of function that is difficult to precise and general definition of a bank
According to Prof. Kinly, "A bank is an establishment which makes to individuals such advance of money
as may be required and safely made, and to which individuals entrust money when not required by them
for use."
According to C.R. Crowther, "A bank collects money from those who have it to spare or who are saving it
out of their incomes, and it lends this money to those who require it". (wikipedia.org)

1.1.1 History of Banking Sector

Banking began with the first prototype banks of merchants of the ancient world, which made grain loans
to farmers and traders who carried goods between cities. This began around 2000 BC in Assyria and
Babylonia. Later, in ancient Greece and during the Roman Empire, lenders based in temples made loans
and added two important innovations: they accepted deposits and changed money. Archaeology from this
period in ancient China and India also shows evidence of money lending activity.
The origins of modern banking can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in
the center and north like Florence, Lucca, Siena, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families
dominated banking in 14th-century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe. One of
the most famous Italian banks was the Medici Bank, set up by Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici in 1397. The

2
earliest known state deposit bank, Banco di San Giorgio (Bank of St. George), was founded in 1407 at
Genoa, Italy.
Modern banking practices, including fractional reserve banking and the issue of banknotes, emerged in
the 17th and 18th centuries. Merchants started to store their gold with the goldsmiths of London, who
possessed private vaults, and charged a fee for that service. In exchange for each deposit of precious
metal, the goldsmiths issued receipts certifying the quantity and purity of the metal they held as a bailee;
these receipts could not be assigned; only the original depositor could collect the stored goods.
Gradually the goldsmiths began to lend the money out on behalf of the depositor, which led to the
development of modern banking practices; promissory notes (which evolved into banknotes) were issued
for money deposited as a loan to the goldsmith. The goldsmith paid interest on these deposits. Since the
promissory notes were payable on demand, and the advances (loans) to the goldsmith's customers were
repayable over a longer time period, this was an early form of fractional reserve banking. The promissory
notes developed into an assignable instrument which could circulate as a safe and convenient form of
money backed by the goldsmith's promise to pay, allowing goldsmiths to advance loans with little risk of
default. Thus, the goldsmiths of London became the forerunners of banking by creating new money based
on credit. The Bank of England was the first to begin the permanent issue of banknotes, in 1695. The
Royal Bank of Scotland established the first overdraft facility in 1728. By the beginning of the 19th
century a bankers' clearing house was established in London to allow multiple banks to clear transactions.
The Rothschilds pioneered international finance on a large scale, financing the purchase of the Suez Canal
for the British government.

1.1.2 History of Banking Sector in Nepal

According to the history, it is found that people of our country have been involved in business and trade
since long time ago. Though the production of copper utensils had been started during the 7 th century,
business relationship could not be established with India since India was involved in the production of
copper utensil. However, the craft concerned with copper, wood and metal in our country did attract the
Chinese and the Tibetan a lot, thus resulting in the establishment of business relationship with China and
Tibet.
In 12th century there was silver coin called 'Dam'. Later on, in 14 th century 'TANKADHARI' one is that
dealt with the lending money to the public. It remains objective was to earn profit, so they used to change
high interest rate. To control interest rate 'TEJARATH ADDA' was established in 19 th century. It provides
loans to the people working in government offices on the basis of the security and to public on the basis of

3
collateral they deposit. It charges only 5% interest rate per annum. It only provides loans but does not
accept deposit.
Nepal bank Ltd. is the first modern bank of Nepal. It is taken as the milestone of modern banking of the
country. Nepal bank marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the modern banking in Nepal. This
was established in 1937 A.D. Nepal Bank Ltd. remained the only financial institution of the country until
the foundation of Nepal Rastra Bank is 1956 A.D.
In 1957 A.D. Industrial Development Bank was established to promote the industrialization in Nepal,
which was later converted into Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) in 1959 A.D. Rastriya
Banijya Bank, was established in 1965 A.D. as the second commercial bank of Nepal. As the agriculture
is the basic occupation of major Nepalese, the development of this sector plays in the prime role in the
economy. So, separate Agricultural Development Bank was established in 1968 A.D. This is the first
institution in agricultural financing. (wikipedia.org)
There are various types of bank working in modern banking system in Nepal. It includes central,
development; commercial, financial, co-operative and Micro Credit (Grameen) banks. The NRB will
classify the institutions into “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” groups on the basis of the minimum paid-up capital and
provide the suitable license to the bank or financial institution. Group ‘A’ is for commercial bank, ‘B’ for
the development bank, ‘C’ for the financial institution and ‘D’ for the Micro Finance Development Banks.
There are 28 commercial banks, 57 development banks, 36 financial companies, 48 micro credit
(Grameen) development banks and 15 saving and credit co-operation (licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank) are
established so far in Nepal.

1.5 Literature Review

Determinants of bank profitability can be split between those that are internal and external.
Internal determinants of bank profitability can be defined as those factors that are influenced by
the bank’s management decisions and policy objectives. Management effects are the results of
differences in bank management objectives, policies, decisions, and actions reflected in
differences in bank including profitability. Management decisions, especially regarding loan
portfolio concentration, were an important contributing factor in bank performance. Researchers
frequently attribute good bank performance to quality management. Management quality is
assessed in terms of senior officers’ awareness and control of the bank’s polices and
performance.
Most of the ratios were significantly related to profitability, particularly capital ratios, interest
paid and received, salaries and wages.
A number of studies have included that expense control is the primary determinant of bank
profitability. Expense management offers a major and consistent opportunity for profitability
improvement. With the large size and the large differences in salaries and wages, the efficient
use of labor is a key determinant of relative profitability. Staff expenses, as conventional wisdom

7
proposes, is expected to be inversely related to profitability because these costs reduce the
‘bottom line’ or the total operations of the bank. The level of staff expenses appears to have a
negative impact on banks’ ROA in the study. There is a positive relationship between staffs and
total profits. External determinants of bank profitability are concerned with those factors which
are not influenced by specific bank’s decisions and policies, but by events outside the influence
of the bank. The steps of analysis are as follows
i) Selection of the information relevant to the decision.

ii) Arrangement or the selected information to highlight the significant relationship of


the financial yardsticks.
iii) Interpretation and drawing of inferences and conclusions.

To evaluate the profitability ratio of a firm, the analyst needs a certain parameter of the company
by which the quantitative relationship and its position come out. The most widely and effective
used tool of the profitability ratio is the ratio analysis. The profitability ratio is the measurement
of relationship between two accounting figures, expressed in mathematical way or the numerical
relationship between two variables expressed as (I) percentage or, (ii) fraction or (iii) in
proportion of numbers.

1.5.1Conceptual Framework

The modern financial evaluation has greatly affected the Profitability ratio of banks. Nowadays,
finance is best characterized as ever changing with new ideas and techniques. Only efficient
manager of the company can achieve the set-up goals. If a bank does not maintain adequate
equity capital, it makes the bank riskier. If a bank has inadequate equity capital, it must be used
more debt that has high fixed cost. So, any firm must have adequate equity capital in their capital
structure. The main objectives of the bank are to collect deposits as much as possible from the
customers and to mobilize into the most profitable sector. If a bank fails to utilize its collected
resources than it cannot generate revenue. Resource mobilization management of bank includes

8
resource collection, investment portfolio, loans and advances, working capital, fixed assets
management etc. It measures the extent to which bank is successful to utilize its resources. To
measure the bank profitability in many aspects, we should analyze its indicator with the help of
financial statements. Profitability ratio is the process of identifying the financial strength and
weakness of the concerned bank. It is the process of finding strength and weakness of the
concerned bank.

1.6 Financial Analysis

Financial statement analysis generally begins with the calculation of set of financial ratios
designed to reveal the relative strength and weaknesses of a company as compared to other
companies in the same industry and to show weather the firm's position has been improving or
deteriorating over time.

1.6.1 Ratio analysis

Ratio analysis is the systematic use of profitability ratio information of the firm’s strength and
weakness as its historical performance, and current condition can be determined.
After calculating various ratios, we need to compare with the certain standard and draw out the
conclusion of the result. The comparison classified by Weston and Brigham into six types viz; (I)
Liquidity ratios, (ii) leverage ratios, (iii) Activity ratios, (iv) Profitability ratios, (v) Growth ratios
and (vi) Valuation ratios.

1.6.2 Profitability ratio

Profitability ratios are related to profit. These ratios are designed to highlight the end result of
business activities. The operating efficiency of a firm and its ability to ensure adequate return to
its shareholders depends ultimately on the profits earned by it. In this regard, profitability ratios
are the measure of efficiency and the search for. These ratios measure the overall effectiveness of
management. It provides an incentive to achieve efficiency. In this report, the following
profitability ratios are used:

9
1.6.2.1 Profit margin ratio

The profit margin ratio, also called the return on sales ratio or gross profit ratio, is a profitability
ratio that measures the amount of net income earned with each rupees of sales generated by
comparing the net income and net sales of a company. This ratio measures how effectively a
company can convert sales into net income.

1.6.2.2 Exchange gain to total income ratio

An exchange gain/loss is caused by a change in the exchange rate of two currencies, such as
when an invoice denominated in one currency is paid in another. The exchange gain to total
income ratio measures total income and exchange gain ratio.

1.6.2.3 Return on assets

Return on assets, is also called return on investment, which is a ratio between net profit and total
assets. This ratio measures the rate of return earned by the firm as a whole for all its investors.
Higher ratio indicates the higher return on assets or on amount contributed by investors on
account of efficient management of assets or capital.

1.6.2.4 Return on equity

This ratio is also known as return on shareholders' fund and return on net worth. It measures the
relationship between net profit after tax and shareholders' equity. The main objective of this ratio
is to find out how efficiently the funds supplied by the shareholders are utilized. Higher ratio
reflects the more profitability enjoyed by the shareholders, where as poor or lower ratio reflects
the reverse situation.

10
1.6.2.5 Overhead to total income ratio

Overhead ratio is the comparison of operating expenses and the total income which is not related
to the production of goods and service. By definition, the ratio of operating expenses to the sum
of taxable equivalent net interest income and other operating income. The overhead ratio shows
the proportion of expenses to total income which cannot be used for production of goods and
services. A company would try as much as it can to lower these expenses without it affecting the
production of goods and services so as to maintain the competition in the industry.

1.6.2.6 Staff expenses to total income ratio

It is the ratio of Staff Expenses to Net Income. This ratio is computed to compare the efficiency
of company's staffs with the staffs of peer companies, competitors and own historical records in
term of total income. The lower of this ratio indicate more efficiency of the staffs of the
company.

1.6.2.7 Earnings per Share

Earnings per share (EPS), also called net income per share, is a market prospect ratio that
measures the amount of net income earned per share of stock outstanding. In other words, this is
the amount of money each share of stock would receive if all of the profits were distributed to the
outstanding shares at the end of the year. Earnings per share is one of the most quoted statistics
for publicly traded companies. It is the ratio of net profit after tax between numbers of common
share.

1.6.2.8 Dividend Payout Ratio

The dividend payout ratio measures the percentage of net income that is distributed to
shareholders in the form of dividends during the year. In other words, this ratio shows the portion
of profits the company decides to keep to fund operations and the portion of profits that is given
to its

11
shareholders.

1.7 Review of Books and Journals

Further R.S. Sayers in his book Modern Banking Writers, “Ordinary banking business consist of
changing cash for bank deposits and bank deposits from one person to corporation (one depositor
to another) giving bank deposits in exchange for bill of exchange, government banks, recurred
and unsecured promises businessmen to repay. “Erich A. H. in his book has described
profitability ratio as “Profitability ratio is both an analytic and judgmental process that helps to
answer the questions that have been properly posed to and therefore, it is a mean to an end. We
can stress enough that financial analysis is an aid that allows those responsible for results to
make sound decisions. “Liquidity is other financial indicator of the business enterprises. I.M.
Pandey says, "A firm should ensure that it does not suffer from lack of liquid. And also, that it is
not too much highly liquid. The failure of a company to meet its obligations, due to lack of
sufficient liquidity will result in bad credit image. Loss of creditor’s confidence, or even in low
suits resulting in the closure of the company. A very high degree of liquidity is also bad; idle
assets earn nothing. The firm’s funds will be unnecessarily tied up in current assets. Therefore, it
is necessary to strike a proper balance between liquidity and lack of liquid. “Liquidity is
measured by the speed with which a bank’s assets can be converted into cash and other current
obligations. It is also important in view of survival and growth of a bank.

1.7.1 Review of some acts relating to banking in nepal

Commercial Bank Act 2031 was formulated to facilitate the smooth run of commercial banks.
All the commercial banks are functioning under this act. This act defines the bank as, "A
commercial bank is one which exchange money, deposits money, accepts deposits, grants loans
and performs commercial banking function and which is not a bank meant for co-operative,
agriculture, industry or for specific purpose."
The preamble of Nepal Bank Act 1994 clearly states the need of commercial bank in the country.
In absence of any bank in Nepal, the economic progress of the country was being hampered and
causing inconvenience to the people and therefore with the objective of fulfilling that need by
providing services the people and for the betterment of the country, this law is hereby
promulgated for the establishment of the bank and its operation. A bank shall be established

12
under the Company Act with the recommendation of the Rastra Bank. The bank may determine
the location of its head office with the approval of the Rastra Bank. The bank shall be an
autonomous corporate body with the perpetual succession. It may sue or be sued in its own name.
Subject to this Act and other current Nepal law, the bank may acquire, use and sell movable and
immovable property. Any bank may open or shift the location of, or close branches depots or
other offices with the approval of the NRB. In case any foreign commercial bank desires to open
a branch, representative office or liaison such branch under the company Act with the approval

CHAPTER III:

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

3.1 Summary

Nepal is one of the least developed countries of the world. For most of the developing process, it
is financially depending upon the foreign countries. It is economically too weak. Thus, the
economic condition of the people is weak. In Nepal 85% of the people are depended upon
agricultural sector which is unable to provide full employment to the people. Nepal government
has to activate people in the nation’s development through overall industrialization of nation. For
this purpose, development of sound banking system is essential.

The commercial banks are of foremost importance to a country because of their roles as a strong
pillar for the economic development of a nation. With the wave of the globalization and
advancement in technologies, without the strong base of commercial banking platform, the
economic development of a nation is bound to be paralyzed. Thus, it would be very legitimate to
say that the commercial banks are of a more importance to a developing country like Nepal and
Siddhartha Bank Ltd. being the pioneer financial institutions of Nepal, has undouble filled such
gap to a great extent.

In Nepalese banking sector, commercial banks including ventures banks are operating at present.
In the absences of modern banking any country cannot develop the economic activity. Therefore,
it is essential to find out whether or not the banks are serving an important contribution to
develop sectors of economy. Profitability ratio is said to be general business of fund, which
shows the bank ability to meet cash requirement. In this record, this study has been based upon
the objective to evaluate the profitability ratio of Siddhartha Bank Ltd.

30
Basically, banks are proliferating, cutthroat competition is prevailing plus there is an unhealthy
competition. So, in this competitive banking scenario, Siddhartha Bank Ltd. is retaining and
maintaining its strengths and proving itself as a benchmark in the Nepalese banking industry.

The financial performance of Siddhartha Bank Ltd. reveals that it is in sound financial position.
Siddhartha Bank Ltd. earns the profit every year in increasing trend. The bank is very much in
line with its desire objective and goals. The bank has been able to successfully overcome all the
economic and competitive barriers to establish it as financially feasible unit. The investors of
Siddhartha Bank Ltd, are receiving sufficient rate of return on their investment and the creditors
are also satisfied. Siddhartha Bank Ltd. has been playing an important role in financial economic
sector of the country. It has fulfilled its objectives for which it has made at the time of the
establishment.

3.2 Conclusion

With some commercial banks and development banks operating in Nepal, the market seems over
crowed and the banks are now finding a tough competition among themselves. Since the entry
barriers are not so high due to the government’s liberal policy, this competition is expected to be
more intense in the near future, as there is always the possibility of a new player entering this
sector. Siddhartha Bank has not maintained a balanced ratio among its deposit liabilities.
Consequently, the bank does not seem to be able to utilize its high-cost resources in high yielding
investment portfolio. The investment portfolio of the bank has not been managed so efficiently as
to maximize the returns there from. The operational efficiency of the bank is found
unsatisfactory because of the series of operational loss over the period. Lower market value is a
reflection of a weaker profitability ratio of the bank.

On the basis of this study, the following conclusion can be made:

• The overall results are satisfactory. But in some case the Siddhartha Bank Ltd should take
certain steps to improve the bank current financial condition. Therefore, some
recommendations are being put forward for its improvement along with its development
of the country.

31
• The proportion of the saving deposit account is high in total deposit liability. So, it is
recommended that the bank should utilize the amount collected from the saving deposit
account carefully. It should be invested in the higher yielding areas.
• The cash and bank balance in the Siddhartha Bank Ltd are satisfactory. It is higher a bit
though.

Bank should analyze the opportunities for short term investment.


• Bank should not spend too much in the fixed assets because it yields only a nominal
portion, almost no yield.
• The profitability ratio shows the profitability position of Siddhartha is satisfactory. It
should give continuity to this growth trend in future.
• These ratios show that Siddhartha is more efficient in mobilizing the resources of owners
and its operational efficiency is also satisfactory.
• The bank has been successful in winning the trust of the customer, as volume of expenses
is no more difference and it's growing slowly than previous years. There is general rise
and fall in expenses level during different years. It should give basic priority to the
customers and personnel first and then the organizational objectives, which will help to
develop effective value chain in the organization.
• Branches existing in some limited areas will not enable a bank to boost up its campaign
of deposit mobilization and credit disbursement as desired. Therefore, Siddhartha is
recommended to open new branches at certain places every year after making feasibility
of studies. And also, it has launched various ideas as SIDDHARTHA PREPAID card,
extended banking hours, etc. so as to collect maximum amount of funds from general
public.
• Besides these, all the other functions of the company are satisfactory, no comments upon
it.

Common questions

Siddhartha Bank displays strengths such as an increasing gross profit margin, indicating efficient cost management and revenue generation capabilities . However, challenges include declining exchange gain to income ratio and variable ROE, suggesting fluctuating foreign exchange success and potential inconsistencies in leveraging equity for profit generation . These insights suggest that the bank should enhance its strategic focus on stabilizing equity returns and competitive foreign exchange operations while maintaining operational cost controls, to ensure sustainable growth and profitability .

Profitability ratios are crucial in evaluating a bank's performance as they measure a firm's operating efficiency and its ability to ensure adequate returns to shareholders. These ratios reflect the effectiveness of management and are instrumental in decision-making processes. They highlight the end result of business activities, serving as an incentive to achieve efficiency . Furthermore, profitability ratios are both an analytic and judgmental tool that aids responsible parties in making sound financial decisions by understanding the bank's strengths and weaknesses .

From 2071/72 to 2075/76, the profit margin ratio of Siddhartha Bank fluctuated as follows: 37.8, 44.67, 40.17, 42.99, and 37.39 respectively. The mean profit margin is 40.6 with a standard deviation of 2.85, indicating moderate variability. The trends show that while there were peaks and troughs, the ratio stabilized around the mean, suggesting that the bank was generally successful in maintaining its profitability over these years .

Liquidity is vital to a bank's survival and growth as it measures the speed with which a bank’s assets can be converted into cash and meet current obligations. Insufficient liquidity can lead to a bad credit image and loss of creditor confidence. Conversely, excessive liquidity can result in idle assets that do not earn returns, unnecessarily tying up the firm's funds. Thus, it is necessary to maintain a balance between availability and surplus of liquidity to support sustainable bank operations .

Siddhartha Bank's earnings per share (EPS) varied significantly: 37.68 in 2071/72, decreasing to 22.49 in 2074/75 before slightly rising to 25.6 in 2075/76. The fluctuation in EPS reflects changes in net income and shareholdings, impacting investor perception of the bank's profitability. Consistent declines can erode confidence, suggesting instability or ineffective profit generation, while slight improvements indicate potential recovery or strategic adjustments to improve earnings and re-attract investors .

The financial analysis reveals that maintaining an appropriate balance between debt and equity is critical for Siddhartha Bank's risk management and profitability. An adequate equity base minimizes risk exposure and prevents overreliance on debt, which incurs higher fixed costs. Fluctuating profitability ratios such as ROE suggest that strategic balancing was variable, highlighting the need for consistent evaluation to optimize the capital structure for risk resilience and profit maximization .

The return on equity (ROE) of Siddhartha Bank varies across the fiscal years: 22.5% in 2071/72, 28.25% in 2072/73, 19.61% in 2073/74, 22.25% in 2074/75, and 25.60% in 2075/76, with a mean ROE of 23.64%. This variability indicates shifts in the bank's capacity to generate profit from its shareholders' equity. High ROE in certain years suggests successful investment strategies yielding ample returns, while lower ROE might reflect strategic challenges or inefficiencies, requiring adjustment to improve shareholder value .

The overhead to total income ratio reflects the portion of income consumed by operational expenses, with Siddhartha Bank experiencing ratios of 31.52% in 2071/72, gradually increasing to 40.63% in 2075/76. This upward trend suggests increasing operational costs relative to income, potentially indicating declining operational efficiency over time. High ratios can imply less efficient management and higher costs of operation, impacting the overall profitability of the bank if not addressed through improved efficiencies or cost-control measures .

The exchange gain to total income ratio for Siddhartha Bank started at 6.92% in 2071/72, decreasing to 3.31% in 2075/76. This downward trend in ratio implies reduced dependence or success in foreign exchange activities relative to other income sources. Persistent declines may indicate the need for strategic pivots towards diversifying or optimizing other revenue streams. Such shifts could potentially safeguard against exchange rate volatility and boost overall financial stability .

The dividend payout ratio at Siddhartha Bank fluctuated, with a low of 0.69% in 2074/75 and a high of 3.07% in 2072/73. The mean ratio of 1.71% indicates limited distribution of earnings to shareholders. This conservative payout strategy suggests a focus on reinvesting profits to fuel long-term growth rather than returning income to shareholders immediately. While low payout may foster growth through reinvestment, it risks diminishing shareholder appeal if not balanced with demonstrable financial performance improvements or strategic reinvestments .
