Information Agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest Russian clothes manufacturers, except companies, engaged in tailoring of special clothes, which is used in industry and military service.

The largest enterprises of the industry in terms of revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available period (for the year 2014). The enterprises were ranked by decrease in annual revenue. Total net profit/loss is specified for all companies of the ranking.

Net profit (loss) is a net retained profit (uncovered loss) of the reporting period, remained after income tax and other similar mandatory payments.

In most cases, net profit is used to increase current assets of the enterprise, create funds and reserves and also for reinvesting in production.

Net profit could be considered as a result of company’s activity for a period, in which it was made. The net profit index obviously demonstrates the sum of funds, received after all tax, salary and other statutory payments.

Increase of net profit shows well done work for a certain period and conversely, decrease in indicators and its negative values show the necessity of precautions against bankruptcy.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial condition, not only the average values of the indicators should be taken into account, but also the whole set of financial indicators and ratios.

Net profit volume of the largest clothes manufacturers (top-10) varies from 2602,1 mln RUB (CJSC GLORIA JEANS CORPORATION) to -75,2 mln RUB (LLC Valentin Yudashkin). As it can be seen from the diagram, GLORIA JEANS CORPORATION is the absolute leader in clothes manufacture. The company is significantly ahead of its nearest competitors by annual revenue as well as by net profit.

According to the latest financial statements (2014), the annual revenue of market leaders (Top-10) amounted to 34,8 bln RUB, that is 0,3% higher than total revenue of Top-10 companies in 2013. In view of inflation, the marked turnover growth cannot be considered as positive result; the enterprises face with actual market volume reduction in monetary terms.

Despite this, all Top-10 companies of the have the highest and high solvency index, that shows the ability of enterprises to meet their obligations in time and fully; the risk of nonfulfillment is low.

For the last reporting period the net profit of GLORIA JEANS CORPORATION, the leader of the domestic tailoring sphere, increased by 6,3%, from 2,4 bln RUB to 2,6 bln RUB.

GLORIA JEANS is a vertically integrated retailer, the leader of fast fashion segment in Russia and Ukraine.

Information Agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest Russian toys manufacturers. 

Top-10 enterprises, ranged by decrease in revenue, were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available period (for the year 2014); the liquidity ratio was calculated for each company (if data are available).

The current liquidity ratio (х) is a ratio of total working capital and short-term liabilities. It shows the sufficiency of funds to repay the obligations, execution date of which comes earlier than 12 months. 

The recommended value: from 1,5 to 2,5. It should be understood, that actual data may significantly vary from the presented normative range for enterprises of different and same industries. 

There are highly liquid, low liquid and illiquid values (assets). The easier and faster you can exchange the asset, taking into account its full cost, the more liquid is the asset. The liquidity of the product is the speed of its implementation using nominal price without additional discounts. 

The ratio shows the ability of the company to meet its current (short-term) obligations using only current assets and characterizes not only company’s current solvency, but also the solvency in case of emergency. The higher is the rate, the better is the solvency of the company.

Both low and high ratios have negative effect. The ratio lower than 1 indicates about high financial risk, which is connected with the fact, that the company is not able to consistently pay its current bills. The ratio more than 3 may testify about the irrational capital structure; overly cautious financial strategy, which may lead to loss of the share in market. However it should be considered, that the ratio value may significantly vary, it depends on the area of activity, structure and quality of the assets etc. 

It should be noted, that the ratio doesn’t always give a full picture. Usually the enterprises, which easily receive money from the payment bills, and with low inventory stocks, may safely operate with a lower ratio value, than the companies with high inventory stocks and sales of goods on credit.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial condition, not only the average values of the indicators should be taken into account, but also the whole set of financial indicators and ratios.
