Metallurgical companies in Chelyabinsk

Information agency Credinform represents a ranking of the largest metallurgical companies in Chelyabinsk. Companies engaged in smelting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, as well as the production of finished metal products with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP 10 and TOP 100) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the latest available periods (2018 - 2020). They were ranked by the solvency ratio (Table 1). The selection and analysis were based on the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Credit period (days) is calculated as the ratio of the average amount of accounts payable for the period to sales revenue. The ratio shows how many days during the year the company repaid the average amount of its accounts payable.

The indicator reflects the process of repayment of debts to counterparties and is calculated to assess cash flows, which makes it possible to draw conclusions about the efficiency of the company and the chosen financial strategy.

The lower the indicator, the faster the company settles with its suppliers. Increased turnover can mean both problems with paying invoices and better organizing relationships with suppliers, providing more profitable, deferred payment schedule and using accounts payable as a source of cheap financial resources.

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