Information agency Credinform represents the ranking of the largest Russian automotive companies. The automobile manufacturers 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 (for 2015 - 2017). Then they were ranked by current assets to equity ratio (Table 1). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Current assets to equity ratio (х) characterizes company’s ability to maintain the level of own working capital and to finance current assets with own sources. The ratio is calculated as the relation of own current assets of a company to total value of equity. The recommended value is in the range from 0,2 up to 0,5.
Decrease in the ratio indicates a possible slowdown in payment of receivables or tightening of conditions for granting trade credit from suppliers and contractors. The increase points to the growing opportunity to pay off current liabilities.
The experts of the Information agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation both in the economy as a whole and in the sectors, has developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas the calculation of practical values of financial ratios that can be recognized as normal for a particular industry. For automobile manufacturers the industry average practical value of the current assets to equity ratio made from 0,41 up to 1,00 in 2017.
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.
