Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest social service companies in Russia. The companies rendering social services to senior citizens and disabled people, providing child and social care etc. (TOP-10) with the largest annual revenue were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register and Federal Tax Service for the latest available accounting periods (2017 - 2019). Then the enterprises were ranked by the debt-to-assets ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Debt-to-assets ratio indicates the share of the company’s assets being financed by loans. Standard value of the ratio is from 0.2 to 0.5.

Sales revenue and net profit demonstrate a company’s size and its business efficiency, and debt to solvency ratio indicates the risk of insolvency.

A value that exceeds the maximum standard value indicates an excessive loan overburden that may facilitate development, but as well may have a negative impact on stability of corporate funds. A value lower than the minimum standard value may speak of a conservative financial management strategy and of an excessive caution in raising new debt funds.

In order to get the most comprehensive and fair picture of the financial standing of an enterprise it is necessary to pay attention to all combination of financial indicators and company’s ratios.
