But this paper has tried to assess whether the private commercial banks are financially sound or not by specifically considering only the private commercial banks and by Awash bank as a case study. The objective of the study is to evaluate the financial performance of Awash Bank by analyzing its past five year’s performance trend and comparing the financial performance of the bank with other private commercial banks operating in Ethiopia (United Bank, Wegagen Bank and Nib International Bank). Financial ratios were considered to measure the credit quality, liquidity, efficiency and profitability as well as sustainability (financial and operating) of the private commercial banks.
