Long-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Time Warner Cable Inc., long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2016-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2015-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2015-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2015-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2015-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2014-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2014-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2014-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2014-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2013-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2013-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2013-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2013-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2012-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2012-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2012-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2012-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2011-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2011-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2011-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2011-03-31).
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio demonstrates a generally stable to slightly declining trend over the observed periods. Initially, in March 2012, the ratio was 1.41, followed by minor fluctuations, reaching a peak of 1.51 in December 2013. Subsequently, it showed a gradual decrease, settling at 1.40 by March 2016. This indicates consistency in the company's ability to generate revenue from its fixed assets, though with a mild decrease in operational efficiency in asset utilization towards the end of the period.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio shows a consistent upward trajectory throughout the periods analyzed. Starting at 0.41 in March 2012, the ratio increased steadily, reaching 0.48 by March 2016. This improvement suggests enhanced efficiency in using total assets to generate sales, reflecting better asset management or growth in revenue relative to asset size over time.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover exhibits an increase from 2.61 in March 2012 to a peak of 3.31 in December 2013, indicating a stronger capacity to generate revenue from shareholders’ equity during this period. However, a declining trend follows thereafter, with the ratio decreasing to 2.58 by March 2016. This reversal may point to reduced effectiveness in leveraging equity for revenue generation or changes in equity base or sales volume.

- Revenue Trends
- Revenue exhibits a generally upward trajectory over the observed period from March 31, 2011, to March 31, 2016. Starting at 4,827 million USD, revenue steadily increased each quarter with minor fluctuations. Notably, revenue crossed the 6,000 million USD threshold towards the end of the period, reaching 6,191 million USD in the first quarter of 2016. Despite some quarters showing slight dips, the overall trend indicates consistent growth in revenue generation.
- Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net
- The net value of property, plant, and equipment also shows a sustained increase throughout the analyzed quarters. Beginning at 13,562 million USD in the first quarter of 2011, this figure rose steadily without significant declines, reaching 17,276 million USD by the first quarter of 2016. This consistent growth reflects ongoing investments or capital expenditures in fixed assets, suggesting a potential expansion or upgrade in infrastructure.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, which measures revenue generated per unit of net fixed assets, started at 1.41 in the third quarter of 2011 and generally exhibited a slight downward trend towards 1.4 by the end of the period. The ratio hovered around 1.40 to 1.51, indicating relatively stable asset utilization efficiency with minor fluctuations. The slight decline over time could imply a marginal reduction in how effectively fixed assets are being converted into revenue, potentially due to the increase in asset base outpacing revenue growth.
- Overall Insights
- The data indicates a company experiencing growth in both revenue and fixed asset base, signaling expansion efforts. However, stability in the fixed asset turnover ratio, with a slight downward drift, suggests that while asset investments are increasing, the efficiency in using these assets to generate revenue is not significantly improving and may be marginally decreasing. Continuous monitoring of asset utilization efficiency will be critical to ensure that capital expenditures translate into proportional revenue growth.

- Revenue Trends
- Revenue demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory over the periods presented. Starting at $4,827 million in March 2011, revenue increased progressively, reaching $6,191 million by March 2016. This represents an overall growth of approximately 28% over five years. The quarterly data show relatively stable incremental increases with no significant volatility, indicating steady business expansion or improved sales performance.
- Total Assets Evolution
- Total assets showed moderate fluctuations but remained within a range of approximately $45 billion to $50 billion throughout the period. Beginning at $45,139 million in March 2011, assets peaked near $50,085 million in September 2012 and experienced minor declines and recoveries thereafter, ending at about $49,751 million in March 2016. The assets' stability indicates controlled asset management and limited major acquisitions or disposals during the reported timeframe.
- Total Asset Turnover Analysis
- The total asset turnover ratio, available from September 2011 onward, exhibited a gradual improvement. It started at 0.41 and steadily increased to 0.48 by March 2016. This upward trend signifies enhanced efficiency in using assets to generate revenue, suggesting better operational performance or asset utilization over time. Incremental increases each quarter emphasize continuous improvements rather than abrupt shifts.
- Overall Financial Insights
- The combination of rising revenues and growing asset turnover, alongside relatively stable total assets, indicates that operational effectiveness improved over this period. The company appears to generate more revenue per unit of asset, enhancing return on assets. The steady revenue growth without significant asset base increase might imply improved margins or cost management as well.

- Revenue Trends
- Revenue demonstrated a generally upward trajectory over the periods analyzed, increasing from $4,827 million in March 2011 to $6,191 million in March 2016. While some seasonal fluctuations are apparent, the overall persistence of growth is evident. Each year concludes with a higher revenue figure compared to the previous year's corresponding quarter, indicating steady expansion in the company's sales performance.
- Shareholders' Equity Trends
- The total shareholders' equity exhibited a declining trend from $8,632 million in March 2011 to a low point near the end of 2013 at approximately $6,662 million in September 2013, followed by a progressive recovery and consistent increase through to $9,357 million in March 2016. This pattern indicates initial equity erosion, possibly due to losses or distributions, succeeded by restoration and growth, suggesting improvement in retained earnings or capital injections in the latter periods.
- Equity Turnover Ratio Trends
- The equity turnover ratio, available from September 2011 onwards, shows an initial increase from 2.61 to a peak of 3.31 in December 2013, reflecting enhanced efficiency in generating revenue from equity during this period. Subsequent measurements depict a gradual decrease to 2.58 by March 2016, indicating a decline in the rate at which shareholders' equity is utilized to produce revenue. This trend, alongside the rising equity base in recent years, may suggest a relaxation in operational leverage or capital structure changes affecting asset utilization.
- Overall Insights
- The company experienced steady revenue growth contemporaneous with varying equity levels, including an equity decline phase followed by recovery. The equity turnover ratio trends complement this narrative, indicating improved efficiency initially, followed by a reduction in turnover associated with rising equity. These dynamics suggest a phase of consolidation and capitalization post-2013, aligning with a maturing revenue base and a stronger equity foundation.
