Information agency Credinform represents the ranking of the largest Russian IT-companies. The enterprises 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 2016 - 2018). Then they were ranked by the equity turnover ratio (Table 1). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Equity turnover ratio (times) is defined as a relation of revenue to annual average sum of equity and shows the company’s usage rate of all available assets.

Equity turnover ratio reflects the turnover rate of own capital. The high value of this ratio indicates the effectiveness of use of own funds. Accordingly, the low ratio value indicates about inaction of the part of own funds.

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 IT-companies the practical value of the equity turnover ratio made from 1,96 times in 2018.

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.

Information agency Credinform has prepared a review of activity trends of the largest companies of the Moscow’s real economy.

The largest companies (ТОP-10000) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (2013 - 2018). The analysis was based on data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Net assets is a ratio reflecting the real value of company's property. It is calculated annually as the difference between assets on the enterprise balance and its debt obligations. The ratio is considered negative (insufficiency of property), if company’s debt exceeds the value of its property.

The largest company in terms of net assets is JSC GAZPROM, INN 7736050003. In 2018 net assets of the company amounted to 11067 billion RUB.

The smallest size of net assets in ТОP-10000 had Otkritie Holding JSC, INN 7708730590. The lack of property of the company in 2018 was expressed in negative terms -454 billion RUB.

For the last five years, the average values of net assets showed the growing tendency (Picture 1).
