Information agency Credinform offers a ranking of the largest Russian hydropower enterprises. The companies 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 asset turnover ratio in 2016 (Table 1). The analysis is based on data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Asset turnover is calculated as a relation of sales proceeds to the average value of company's total assets for a period. The indicator refers to the group of activity ratios and characterizes the efficiency of use by a company of all available resources, apart from sources of their attraction. The ratio shows how many times a year the full cycle of production and circulation completes, which yields profit.

The experts of the Information agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation both in the economy as a whole and in 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 companies on production, transmission and distribution of electrical power the practical value of the asset turnover ratio was from 0,61 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.

The average indicator of the asset turnover ratio of TOP-10 companies in 2016 is above the practical value. Two from TOP-10 enterprises have the ratio value above the practical one and eight enterprises - below. Five from the TOP-10 companies reduced revenue or net profit indicators in 2016 in comparison with the previous period or have a loss (are marked with red filling in columns 3 and 5 in Table 1).

The industry average values of the asset turnover ratio tend to decline over the past ten years. It can point to a gradual fall of companies’ business in this field of activity (Picture 2).
