A variety of variables are evaluated from the perspectives of community groups, shareholders, and employees. KPIs related to each of these stakeholder's hinges upon the unique expectations and advantages these stakeholders are expecting from the company. • Employees: Employees want to be assured that the company for which they work is successful and profitable and provides job security and opportunities for growth within the company. Keeping this in mind, one KPI that is important for employees is the gross profit margin. Gross profit margin is a valuable indicator of the state of affairs of the company. It measures the overall profitability of the company and establishes the fact as to whether there is an opportunity of growth of the company. Employees shall also be concerned with the sales figures because decreasing sales trend would signify an alarming factor for the sustainability as well as the job security of the employees because decreasing sales would decrease gross profit margin as well as net profit margin. In the given case, the company has experienced a 15% growth in sales from 2016 to 2017 and 16% growth in sales from 2017 to 2018. Further, gross profit margin for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are 46.58%, 41.33% and 42.31% respectively. This signifies that there has been slight decrease in gross profit margin to the tune of 2.31% in 2017 and increase in gross profit margin from 2017 to 2018 to the tune of 12.69%. Hence, considering the growth in sales, gross margin % for the above-mentioned periods, financial health of the company would not indicate any alarming signal to employees in terms of their job security and the long-term survival of the company. Shareholders: Shareholders primarily concerned with the profitability of the company as they are the suppliers of capital expecting high return on their investment. High return on investment is the prerogative of the shareholders as they want to earn good return on their investment. So, return on investment is the most important KPI for shareholders. Further, the shareholders would be interested on the debt-to-equity ratio as KPIs as this ratio indicates how much money of the shareholders are utilized for various investment proposals and how much money is procured through debt financing. Since debt has low cost of capital and the company pays interest on debt regardless of the profit or loss of the company, any default in payment of interest on debt may expose the company to liquidation. This is why, shareholders are more concerned about the debt financing of the company as high quantum of debt in the capital structure of the company may increase the riskiness of the capital recovery of the shareholders in the event of liquidation or winding up of the company. Here Return on investment uses the formula: ROI= Earnings before interest and tax/Capital employed. Here capital employed is (Total assets- current liabilities). Using the said formula, we get ROI for 2016, 2017 and 2018 as 51.32%, 40.37% and 45.17% respectively. So, there has been decrease in ROI from 2016 to 2017 to the tune of 21.33% and increase in ROI from 2017 to 2018 for 11.87%. Debt to equity ratio = Total debts/Shareholders' equity. Here total debts comprise both long term and current liabilities. Using the said formula, we get Debt equity ratio for 2016, 2017 and 2018 as .39614, .63945 and 1.3751 respectively. It indicates that the debt was high in 2016 and subsequently reduces to .63945 and .39614 in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Hence the KPIs that the shareholders are interested are favorable for their long term association with the company. Community groups: Community groups want to ensure that how much the company is returning back to the community in terms of charitable contributions. So, community groups must see the profits as the measuring guide as to how much the company can contribute to the community in terms of charitable donations. Here it is evident from the income statement of my organization that the charitable contributions have increased to the tune of 13% from 2016 to 2017 and increased to 11% from 2017 to 2018 respectively. Key financial line items- TBL It is evident from the analysis of the consolidated income statement of my company that the there has been an absolute increase of $50,000 from 2016 to 2017 and from 2017 to 2018 respectively towards charitable contributions. This has been reflected in the company's TBL strategies to give back donations or charity to low-income neighborhoods. Further, there has been significant increase in salary expense to the tune of $4,500,000 from 2016 to 2017 and $6,000,000 from 2017 to 2018 under operating and administrative heads. Thus, it signifies that the company is focusing on the human resources development both operational and administrative perspective. From the financial statements it is observed that the company has increased its investment in property, plant and equipment to the tune of $8,18,000 from 2016 to 2017 and $5,974,000 from 2017 to 2018 respectively. This shows the continuous effort of the company in finding out ways to become more environmentally viable and friendly. Further, the company has experienced a continuous increase in profitably from 2016 to 2018 after the induction of Triple bottom line focused business model. In 2017, Net income increased to the tune of $640,000 and in 2018 the said increase was to the tune of $7,142,000. So, introduction of TBL increased net income from 2017 to 2018 to the extent of 63%. Apart from net income, gross profit has increased significantly by the introduction of TBL plan i.e., 31% in 2018 from its previous level of 13%. Hence, we witness the continued growth in sales and profit margins of the company along with the more environmentally and socially aware results and overall success by the introduction of Company's triple bottom line strategy.
