IV THE ANALYSIS OF EACH COMPANY IN THREEYEARS 2019, 2020 AND 2021

1. Paypal

8

- The ratios of profit margin had fluctuated during 2020 The 2020 period recorded an efficient profitability of managing cost to generate income, which was 0.14 in 2019 and 0.20 in 2020 However, the period 2020-2021 overcame a reduction in managing profitability, which dropped 0.4 compared to 2020 This showed that in 2020, enduring the severe impact in Covid 19, Paypal income was reduced and needed more cost to operate.

2019-b Liquidity Ratios

- As you can see in the table, from the year 2019 to 2021 the company has an amount which is larger than 1 and considered as an acceptable ratio From that, PayPal can attract many investors to pour the money into the company, and also lend the money from the bank to overcome some difficult situation like COVID 19 pandemic or expanding their business Conversely, we can realize the number is gradually decreasing

and reached 1.4, which shows that the company can cover its short-termobligations and this ratio does not exceed industry standards and are within reasonable range The quick ratio of Pay Pal fell slowly from 1.4 to 1.3 and from 1.3 to 1.2 in 3 years can indicate that the company’s sales are decreasing or it has taken on too much debt.

- PayPal Day’s sale uncollected ratio gradually increases throughout the years, from 8,9 in 2019 to 10,1 in 2021 The ratio measures how long it will take for customers to pay their credit card balances Higher ratio means the company needs more time to convert sales into cash But compared to two other companies, which are MasterCard and Visa, PayPal has the least ratio Less than MasterCard approximately 50 units,and less than Visa about 100 units.

10

- Paypal's ratio could very well decrease from 2.49 in 2019 to 2.03 in 2021 This shows that Paypal is borrowing less capital in the market to fund its operations, resulting in increased equity in their journal.

- It can be seen that the company's debt ratio in 3 years 2019, 2020, 2021

times is 0.67 times; 0.71 and 0.71 (<1) that indicate the company owns more assets than liabilities and can meet its obligations by selling its assets if needed However, debt ratios in 2020 and 2021 are higher than they were in 2019, indicating greater financial leverage and, thus, greater risk when making investments and loans.

- Based on the table of data that can be seen, the equity ratio of PayPal in 3 years 2019, 2020, 2021 is 0.33 respectively; 0.33 and 0.29 (<0.5) That shows the company is considered financially leveraged Since the equity ratio in 2021 decreased by 0.4 compared to 2020 and 2019, it canbe seen that the company is using a lot of leverage

This could be explained that during 2020-2021 term, the negative impact of Covid 19 effect on Paypal made the organization manage the assets less efficiently compared to 2019 in order to generate sales.

2. MasterCard

a Profitability Ratios

- The ratios of profit margin had fluctuated during 2020 The 2020 period recorded an ínufficieny profitability of managing cost to generate income, which was 0.48 in 2019 and 0.42 in 2020 However, the period 2020-2021 experienced a rise in managing profitability, which grew at 0.4 point To sum up, MasterCard recorded a fine, managing in profit

12

- With the current ratio of PayPal, we can recognize an increase in the amount of it, from 1.42 in 2019 to 1.63 in 2020 Despite the spreading of COVID-19 pandemic so quickly and caused many huge effects on theworldwide economy, PayPal still proved that their business was doing very well and earning sizable cash which brought to them an ability to pay off the short-term liabilities they made loan to maintain their business And when coming to the year 2021, PayPal sees a decrease in current ratio which is made in part by high inflation in the US With the price of almost everything increasing significantly in recent months, it's understandable that people forced to stretch their budgets would choose necessities above nice-to-have luxury goods And this does not bode well for PayPal's company Consumers will cut back on their spending in expectation of tough economic times As a result, PayPal's payment volume and revenue are reduced.

- The company's quick ratio is at a reasonable level, not too low and higher than the average in 3 years from 2019-2021 Master Cards tend to be confident in the company's ability to pay its current obligations and debts.

MasterCard’s ratio is not as high as Visa, but much higher than PayPal’sratio, about more than 50 units This also means the company collection process takes longer and their customers are not willing or unable to paythem

c Solvency Ratios

-MasterCard's debt to equity ratio may fall from 4.10 in 2019 to 3.93 in 2021 This indicates that Paypal is borrowing less capital from the market to fund its operations, resulting in more equity in their journal

- The debt ratio of the master card in 3 years 2019, 2020, 2021 is higher than that of Paypal The indicators are: 0.80 (2019); 0.81 (2020) and 0.80 (2021) This also showsthat the company owns more assets than liabilities Besides, in 2020, the coefficient has increased by 0.1 compared to 2019 and by 2021 it will return to exactly the same as the coefficient of 2019 Because this ratio increases and decreases unevenly, the

14

-According to the table of data, the equity ratio of MasterCard in 3 years is 0.20 (2019) respectively; 0.19 (2020) and 0.20 (2021) That shows the company is also considered to be financially leveraged Since the equity ratio in 2020 decreased by 0.1 compared to 2019 and returned to 0.20 in 2021, it can be seen that the company uses a lot of leverage in 2020 and tends to reduce leverage by 2021.

d Effciency

- In the table, there is a decrease from 0.63 to 0.5 between the year 2019 and 2020 This can be explained that MasterCard could not generate enough revenue from doing business due to the poor collection methods in which there were many account receivables they could not collect andhad to write off For the period from 2020 to 2021, the ratio has increased to 0.53 means that they have improved their way to collect therevenue, and reduced the number of money loss.

3. Visa

b Liquidity Ratios

- In the table, the number of current ratios increases significantly from 1.27 in 2019 to 2.12 in 2020 This increase can be explained by the payment behavior that has changed by citizens When the coronavirus appeared, people changed the method for paying due to lockdown Instead of using cash, they use their credit card, the more transactions made, the more money would go into the company as Visa receives service revenue from institutional clients such as banks and other partners who require Visa-branded payment solutions And with a decrease in 2021, it was caused by an increase in the current liabilities of Visa which was $15.739B, a 8.47% increase from 2020 This

16

increase is also including the acquire Tink in which Visa will pay total financial consideration of 1.8 billion Euros, inclusive of cash and retention incentives

- In 2019, Visa has a relatively high quick ratio, capable of paying obligations normally In 2020, this ratio suddenly increased and reached1.96, which represents a significant improvement in revenue and high liquidity in the accounts received by the company, besides that Visa is completely get rid of obligations and current debt in this year In 2021, the index returned to balance when it dropped to 1.26 but the company still completely controlled the liquidity.

-c Solvency Ratios

- Visa has the lowest equity ratio of the three Visa's equity ratio could fall from 1.26 in 2019 to 1.12 in 2021 This demonstrates that Visa is borrowing less capital in the market to fund itsoperations, which results in increased equity in their journal.

debt-to-indicate the possibility of default at some point in the future.- It can be seen that the equity ratio of Visa company is lower than 0.5,

which indicates the company has financial leverage but is not yet effective in controlling and managing its liabilities and financing its asset claims In 3 years with the company's equity ratio not increasing but decreasing from 0.44-0.47, this shows the company primarily used debt to acquire assets, which is widely viewed as an indication of greater financial risk Because Visa's ratio is higher than that of PayPal and MasterCard, Visa is financially stronger and has a higher long-term solvency than the other two companies.

d Effciency

- The total assets turnover of Visa has seen an increase from 0.07 in 2019 to 0.09 in 2021, and it is not a good signal for the company The suitable

18

number should fluctuate between 0.25 and 0.5 for this industry, but the amount has increased which means the company was still trying to reduce the money loss and generating assets effectively to earn more profit And for the next few years, if it still gradually increases like this, Visa will become one of the most valuable brands in the US or all over the world
