Information agency Credinform presents a review of activity trends of the largest Russian companies in the wood processing industry.
The largest companies in terms of annual revenue for the last reporting periods available in the state statistics bodies and the Federal Tax Service (2011 – 2020) engaged in wooden products manufacture (lumber, plywood, veneer, wooden containers and decking, prefabricated wooden constructions) (TOP 1000) were selected for the analysis. Selection and analysis of companies were carried out based on data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Net assets – is a ratio that reflects the real value of the company's property that is calculated annually as the difference between the assets on the company's balance sheet and its debt obligations. The net asset ratio is negative (insufficient property) if the company's debt exceeds the value of its property.
The largest company in the TOP 1000 in terms of net assets is EGGER DREVPRODUKT GAGARIN LLC, INN 6723019741, Smolensk Region, production of plywood, wooden veneered panels and similar layered materials, wood slabs and other lignified materials. In 2020, net assets amounted to almost 25 billion rubles.
The smallest net asset value in the TOP 1000 is RIMBUNAN HIJAU MDF LLC, INN 2721143979, Khabarovsk Territory, logging. Property insufficiency in 2020 was expressed by a negative value of -16 billion RUB.
Covering the ten-year period, average net assets of the industry and their growth rates have an upward trend (Picture 1).
Shares of companies with property insufficiency in the TOP 1000 had a positive downward trend over the past five years (Picture 2).
Sales revenue
The revenue of the top ten companies in 2020 amounted to 28% of the total revenue of the TOP 1000 companies. (Picture 3). This indicates a high level of competition in the industry.
During the ten-year period, average industry revenue values and their growth rates have been increasing year by year. (Picture 4).

Key financial ratios

Current liquidity ratio (current assets to short-term liabilities) shows sufficiency of a company’s assets to settle short-term liabilities.
For ten years, average industry indicators of the ROI showed an upward trend. (Picture 8).
This ratio is calculated as ratio of net profit to amount of equity and long-term liabilities and demonstrates return on equity involved in commercial activities and long-term funds raised by organization.
Asset turnover ratio is calculated as ratio of sales revenue to average value of total assets for a period and implicates the efficiency of use of all available resources; regardless of the sources, they were raised. The ratio shows how many times per year the full cycle of production and turnover is performed generating the corresponding effect in the form of profit.
Covering the ten years period, values of the said business activity ratio showed a trend to decrease (Picture 9).

At the same time, the share of their revenue in the total revenue of the TOP 1000 in 2020 is over 20%, which is the average for the country in 2018-2019. (Picture 10).

Information agency Credinform presents the ranking of the largest Russian primary wood processing enterprises. The largest companies in the industry (TOP 10 and TOP 1000) in terms of annual revenue for the last reporting periods available in the state statistics bodies and the Federal Tax Service (2018-2020) were selected for the ranking. Then they were ranked by product profitability ratio (Table 1). Selection of companies and analysis were carried out on the basis of data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Product profitability is calculated as a ratio of profit from sales to ordinary activities expenses. In general, profitability reflects the economic efficiency of production. Analysis of product profitability allows us to assess efficiency and feasibility of manufacturing goods.
There are no standard values for indicators of this group, since they vary greatly depending on industry.
It is necessary to pay attention to the entire set of indicators and financial ratios to get the most complete and objective picture of enterprise's financial condition.
