Information agency Credinform has performed a ranking of the largest Russian creative enterprises in the sphere of art and entertainment. Enterprises with the largest annual revenue (TOP-10) for the latest accounting periods available in the State statistical authorities (2015 and 2014) have been selected for the ranking. Then they have been ranked by net profit ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Net profit ratio is calculated as a relation of net profit (loss) to sales revenue, and indicates sales profit rate. There is no standard value for this ratio. It is recommended to compare enterprises within one sector, or change of the ratio in the course of time of a certain company. A negative value of the ratio signals about net loss. A high value shows an efficient operation of the enterprise.

A calculation of practical values of financial ratios, which might be considered as normal for a certain industry, has been developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas by the experts of Information Agency Credinform, having taken into account the current situation in the economy as a whole and in the industries. The practical value of net profit ratio for creative enterprises in the sphere of art and entertainment in 2015 amounted to 2,42%.
