Net profit ratio of the largest Russian publishing houses
ranking 18/04/2018
Information agency Credinform represents the ranking of the largest Russian publishing houses. Enterprises with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (for 2015 and 2016). Then they were ranked by net profit ratio (Table 1). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Net profit ratio (%) is calculated as a relation of net profit (loss) to sales revenue and characterizes the level of sales profit. There is no normative value for the indicator. It is recommended to compare enterprises of one industry, or change of the ratio in the course of time of a certain company. A negative value of the ratio indicates a net loss. A high value shows an efficient operation of an enterprise.
The experts of the Information agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation both in the economy as a whole and in the sectors, has developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas the calculation of practical values of financial ratios that can be recognized as normal for a particular industry. For publishing houses the practical value of net profit made from 7,78% in 2016.
For getting of the most comprehensive and fair picture of the financial standing of an enterprise it is necessary to pay attention to all combination of indicators and financial ratios.
