Asset turnover of the largest Russian hunting farms

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest Russian hunting farms. The companies with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) have been selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available accounting periods (2016 and 2015). Then they have been ranked by asset turnover ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Asset turnover is a ratio of sales revenue to average total assets for the period. It is one of the activity ratios and it indicates resource efficiency regardless of sources. This ratio shows the number of profit-bearing complete production and distribution cycles per annum.

A calculation of practical values of financial ratios, which might be considered as normal for a certain industry, has been developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas by the experts of the Information Agency Credinform, having taken into account the current situation in the economy as a whole and in the industries. The practical value of asset turnover ratio for hunting farms amounted from 0,16 in 2016.

The whole set of financial indicators and ratios is to be considered to get the fullest and fairest opinion about the company’s financial standing.
