Information agency Credinform prepared a ranking of the largest Russian wholesalers of information technology and telecommunications equipment. Companies with the highest volume of revenue (TOP-10) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (2016 and 2015). The enterprises were ranked by equity turnover ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Equity turnover ratio (times) is calculated as a relation of revenue to annual average sum of equity and demonstrates the company’s usage rate of all available assets.

Equity turnover ratio reflects the turnover rate of own capital. High value of the indicator shows the effectiveness of use of own funds. Accordingly, low ratio value indicates idleness of the part of own funds.

Taking into account the actual situation both in economy in general and in the sector, the experts of the Information agency Credinform have developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas the calculation of practical values of financial ratios, which can be recognized as normal for a particular industry. The practical value of assets turnover ratio for wholesalers of information technology and telecommunications equipment in 2016 is from 15,23 times.

For the most complete and objective view of the financial condition of the enterprise it is necessary to pay attention to the complex indicators and financial ratios of the company.
