Ranking
Loan security in the shipbuilding industry

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest Russian shipbuilding enterprises. The largest enterprises (TOP-10) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the available periods (2015-2017). Then the companies were ranged by loan protection factor (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Loan protection factor (x) is the ratio of pre-tax earnings and loan interest to the sum of interest payable. It characterizes the security level of creditors from non-payment of interest for the granted loan and shows how many times during the reporting period the company earned means to pay the interest on loans.

The recommended value is >1. No indicator value indicates that the company does not have borrowed funds, therefore, no interest payable to creditors. However, it may not alsways be the evidence of general well-being as credit resources are necessary for successful business growth.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial position the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.
