Financial Indicators and Performance Evaluation of Kerala State Handloom Weaver’s Cooperative Society Ltd at Thiruvananthapuram

Abstract

The present study assesses the financial performance of HANTEX, Thiruvananthapuram in the period of 2021-2025 based on the financial indicators. The study uses ratio analysis, trend analysis and comparative balance sheets to analyze various components, including liquidity, profitability, and operational efficiency. The results show positive developments in the overall sales figures – a sign of high demand in the market – but at the same time, there are very serious problems in the liquidity ratios of the company and in its profitability level, which is becoming unstable because of growing operating costs. In addition, the study shows lack of financial stability with negative reserves and a high dependence on external borrowing. Overall, the study finds that HANTEX has a solid market presence but there is a critical need for better cost management and strategic financial planning to secure its sustainability and organizational health in the future.
