Information agency Credinform offers a ranking of the largest Russian enterprises of chemical sector. 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 (2014 - 2017). Then they were ranked by equity turnover ratio (Table 1). The analysis is based on data of 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. The high value of this indicator shows the effectiveness of use of own funds. Accordingly, low ratio value shows inaction of the part of own funds.

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.
