Altman-Z Score Ratio : The Altman Z-score is a financial metric used to predict the likelihood that a business may face bankrupt within the next two years. Developed by Edward Altman in 1968, the formula combines five financial ratios derived from a company’s balance sheet and income statement to provide a single numerical value reflecting its financial health.

How to use this equation?

Altman Z-Score = 1.2A + 1.4B + 3.3C + 0.6D + 1.0E
Where:
A = working capital / total assets
B = retained earnings / total assets
C = earnings before interest and tax / total assets
D = market value of equity / total liabilities
E = sales / total assets

Example:
If company has following values (In Thousands)
Working capital: $16,400
Retained earnings: $8,148
EBIT: $7500
Total assets: $26,404
Market value of equity: $17,797
Total liabilities: $10,004
Sales: $39,895
Based on the above financial data, a company Altman-Z score of 4.86, it is financially strong and the likelyhood of bankruptcyis low.
