According to the Federal Forestry Agency (Rosleshoz), 128 million cubic meters of wood were logged in Russia within 9 months of 2021, which is by 7,8 million cubic meters greater comparing with the corresponding period of 2020. However, the prices on construction materials have spiked in 2021, especially during the period of summer houses building. The Government of Russia plans to prohibit the export of round coniferous timber starting from 2022. It will help to improve the situation in logging, where the negative development trends were observed in 2011-2020.

The most significant negative trends are: decrease in volumes of revenue and profit, increasing unprofitability, decline in current liquidity ratio and assets turnover ratio. The positive trends are as follows: decrease in share of companies with insufficiency of property, high level of industry competition, as well as considerable volume of goods, produced by a small business.

In order to make the analysis of activity trends in this field, Information agency Credinform selected the largest enterprises (TOP-100) in terms of annual revenue according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the accounting periods (2011 – 2020) in the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Net assets are total assets less total liabilities. This indicator reflects the real value of the property of an enterprise. When the company’s debt exceeds the value of its property, the indicator is considered negative (insufficiency of property).

The largest company in term of net assets is JSC DALLESPROM, INN 2700000070, Khabarovsk territory. In 2020, net assets value amounted to more than 4,2 billion RUB.

The lowest net assets value among TOP-1000 was recorded for OOO KHENDA – SIBIR, INN 5402159093, Tomsk region. In 2020, insufficiency of property was indicated in negative value of -15,8 billion RUB.

During ten-year period, the average net assets values have a trend to decrease (Picture 1).

The shares of TOP-1000 enterprises with insufficient property had a positive trend to decrease during last 5 years (Picture 2).

Sales revenue
The revenue volume of the ten leading companies amounted to 29% of the total revenue of TOP-1000 companies in 2020 (Picture 3). It gives evidence to a relatively high level of the competition among logging companies.

Within ten years the average industry revenue were decreasing with increasing growth rates year to year (Picture 4).

Profit and loss
The largest TOP-1000 company in 2020 in term of net profit is OOO PKP TITAN, INN 2901008961, Arkhangelsk region. The company’s profit amounted to 725 billion RUB.

During ten-year period, average industry profit figures were not at the high level and have a trend to decrease (Picture 5).

Picture 5. Change in average industry profit (loss) in 2011- 2020

During five-year period, the average net profit figures of TOP-1000 companies were decreasing, whereas the average net loss was increasing (Picture 6)..

Key financial ratios
During ten-year period, the average industry values of the current liquidity ratio were generally below the recommended ones – from 1,0 to 2,0, with a trend to decrease. (Picture 7).

Current liquidity ratio (current assets to short-term liabilities) shows the sufficiency of company’s assets to repay on short-term liabilities.

During ten years, there was a trend to increase in the average ROI values (Picture 8).

ROI ratio is calculated as net profit to sum of shareholders equity and long-term liabilities, and shows the return of equity involved in commercial activities and long-term borrowed funds.

Assets turnover ratio is the ratio of sales revenue and company’s average total assets for a period. It characterizes the effectiveness of using of all available resources, regardless the source of their attraction. The ratio shows how many times per year the full cycle of production and circulation is performed, generating the corresponding effect in the form of profit.

During the ten-year period, there was a trend to decrease of this ratio (Picture 9).

Small enterprises
91% companies of TOP-1000 are registered in the Register of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. However, their share in total revenue of TOP-1000 in 2020 amounted to almost 50%, which is more than twice as great as the average country values in 2018 - 2019 (Picture 10).

Main regions of activity
Companies of TOP-100 are registered in 59 regions of Russia (69% of member states of Russia), and unequally located across the country due to the geographic location of forest resources. Almost 45% of the TOP-1000 companies’ total revenue for 2020 consolidate in Vologda, Arkhangelsk, Irkutsk regions and in Krasnoyarsk territory (Picture 11).
