Executive Summary
The purpose of this quantitative analysis is to measure Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s ability to
pay off its short-term debt obligations. Therefore, this quantitative analysis has chosen six
liquidity ratios which are:
1. Current Ratio
2. Working Capital ratio
3. Acid-test or Quick or Liquid Ratio
4. Acid-test Ratio
5. Cash Ratio
6. Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) "Cash or Operating Cycle"
By and large, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC was able to cover, according to the abovementioned
ratios, its short-term debt obligations during the targeted 5 years (2009 – 2013). However, there
was a noticeable decline in the first five ratios, while there was an increase in its cash
conversion cycle. This is could be reason behind the drop in its current ratio, working capital
ratio, acid-test (Quick Ratio) and cash ratio as there might be a change in Hikma
Pharmaceuticals PLC’s credit policy in those targeted five years (2009 – 2013).
It is worth noting that the currency used in this quantitative analysis is the United States Dollar
(USD or $).

Current Ratio Table 1: Current Ratio for Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC between 2009 & 2013
Entry 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Current Assets 897,000,000 782,000,000 659,885,000 494,115,000 456,598,000
Current Liabilities 586,000,000 467,000,000 390,583,000 268,623,000 204,442,000
Current Ratio 1.53 1.67 1.69 1.84 2.23
Figure 1: Current Ratio for Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC between 2009 & 2013
It can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 1 that Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s short term assets:
Were readily available to pay off 2.23 times its short-term liabilities in 2009.
Were readily available to pay off 1.84 times its short-term liabilities in 2010.
Were readily available to pay off 1.69 times its short-term liabilities in 2011.
Were readily available to pay off 1.67 times its short-term liabilities in 2012.
Were readily available to pay off 1.53 times its short-term liabilities in 2013.
Therefore, a current ratio of greater than 1 provides additional cushion for Hikma
Pharmaceuticals PLC against unforeseeable contingencies that may arise in the short term.
Thus, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC maintained a current ratio of at least 1.53 between 2009 and
2013 in order to ensure that the value of its current assets cover at least the amount of its short
term obligations.

Working Capital (WC) Table 2: Working Capital for Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC between 2009 & 2013
Entry 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Current Assets 897,000,000 782,000,000 659,885,000 494,115,000 456,598,000
Current Liabilities 586,000,000 467,000,000 390,583,000 268,623,000 204,442,000
Working Capital 311,000,000 315,000,000 269,302,000 225,492,000 252,156,000
Figure 2: Working Capital for Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC between 2009 & 2013
It can be seen from Table 2 and Figure 2 that Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC:
Current assets exceeded its current liabilities by USD 252,156,000 in 2009.
Current assets exceeded its current liabilities by USD 225,492,000 in 2010.
Current assets exceeded its current liabilities by USD 269,302,000 in 2011.
Current assets exceeded its current liabilities by USD 315,000,000 in 2012.
Current assets exceeded its current liabilities by USD 311,000,000 in 2013.
Therefore, Hikma Pharmaceutical PLC’s positive working capital during the abovementioned
five years means that the business is able to pay off its short-term liabilities. Thus, the
management of Hikma Pharmaceutical PLC ensured that the company was able to continue its
operations and that it had sufficient cash flow to satisfy the short-term debt and operating
expenses. Moreover, its high working capital could be a signal that the company might be able
to expand its operations.

Figure 3: Acid-test or Quick or Liquid Ratio for Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC between 2009 & 2013
It can be seen from Table 3 and Figure 3 that:
For every dollar of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s current liabilities, the company had $1.43
of very liquid assets to cover those immediate obligations in 2009.
For every dollar of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s current liabilities, the company had $1.12
of very liquid assets to cover those immediate obligations in 2010.
For every dollar of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s current liabilities, the company had $1.05
of very liquid assets to cover those immediate obligations in 2011.
For every dollar of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s current liabilities, the company had $1.08
of very liquid assets to cover those immediate obligations in 2012.
For every dollar of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s current liabilities, the company had $1.04
of very liquid assets to cover those immediate obligations in 2013.
However, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s quick ratio was lower during the abovementioned five
years than the current ratio which means its current assets are highly dependent on inventory.
Nevertheless, inventory is not as rapidly convertible to cash and is often sold on credit.

Acid-test Ratio 1.16 which means that could pay off all of its current liabilities with quick
assets and still had some quick assets left over in 2010.
Acid-test Ratio 1.08 which means that could pay off all of its current liabilities with quick
assets and still had some quick assets left over in 2011.

Figure 5: Cash Ratio for Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC between 2009 & 2013
It can be seen from Table 5 and Figure 5 that Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC:
Had enough cash and equivalents to pay off 32 percent of its current liabilities in 2009.
Had enough cash and equivalents to pay off 23 percent of its current liabilities in 2010.
Had enough cash and equivalents to pay off 24 percent of its current liabilities in 2011.
Had enough cash and equivalents to pay off 38 percent of its current liabilities in 2012.
Had enough cash and equivalents to pay off 29 percent of its current liabilities in 2013.
However, the cash ratio is seldom used in financial reporting or by analysts in the fundamental
analysis of a company. It is not realistic for a company to purposefully maintain high levels of
cash assets to cover current liabilities. The reason being that it is often seen as poor asset
utilization for a company to hold large amounts of cash on its balance sheet, as this money
could be returned to shareholders or used elsewhere to generate higher returns.
