Analysis of Ratios Liquidity Ratios Current Ratio= CA/CL Current ratio is a financial ratio that evaluates if a business has an adequate amount of resources to cover its debt over the next business cycle (typically 12 months). It does so by relating company's current assets to its current liabilities. Standard current ratio values differ from industry to industry. The higher this ratio, the more proficient the company is to pay its debt.

Skechers’s decreasing long-term debt ratio is a sign that the company is trying to insure its survival into the long run. This decreasing trend was achieved by a combination of decreasing long-term debt and increasing equity from the year 2012 to 2013. Although Skechers seems to be trying its best to decrease this ratio and maintain its long-term sustainability, its ratio (10.621) is still a bit higher than Nike’s (10.051). For Sketchers, this decrease in the LTM means that they are on the right track, but it still needs some modifications to do for it to.
