Financial analysis of efficiency indicators and their impact on investment policies: a case study of the Arab Qatari Agricultural Production Company in 2013-2020

Summary/Abstract: Financial analysis of efficiency indicators is significant for companies that develop and implement their investment policies since such indicators reflect the economic and financial standing. The research reveals that the Arab Qatari Agricultural Production Company achieved net profits over the 2012-2016 period; then it had a large loss in 2017. The percentage change in the net profit achieved was negative for the later years (2017-2020). The revenues generated from the commercial activity ranged between QAR 18.4-25.5 million. The rate of change was positive in all the years of study. A rate of 95-98.4% from the total revenues came from the commercial activities. The results show that the rate of change in total assets, fixed and variable, was upbeat throughout the study period, indicating an improvement in general assets. The conducted analysis shows that the gross profit margin was fluctuating during the study period, which indicates a fluctuation in the efficiency of operating resources. The rate of return on assets was volatile and low in general. The authors of the research recommend to pay more attention to the results of the analysis in order to identify the failures and weaknesses of performance and address them.
