Ranking
The profit level of lessors

The restrictions imposed by the pandemic response put the owners of office and commercial premises in a difficult predicament. The lessors close businesses, go bankrupt or looking for more budget-friendly options.

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking to find out which of the lessors have a margin of safety due to the effective work within 2017-2019.

The largest enterprises (TOP-10) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the available periods (2017-2019). Then the companies were ranged by net profit ratio (Table 1). The company selection and analysis were based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Net profit ratio (%) is calculated as a ratio of net profit (loss) to sales revenue. The ratio reflects the company’s level of sales profit.

The ratio doesn’t have the standard value. It is recommended to compare the companies within the industry or the change of a ratio in time for a certain company. The negative value of the ratio indicates about net loss. The higher is the ratio value, the better the company operates.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial position the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.
