Loans protection factor of the leading Russian meat processing companies

Information Agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest meat processing companies in Russia by decrease in loans protection factor.

The largest enterprises in terms of revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available period for the year 2013; the companies are engaged in meat and poultry processing, manufacture of finished products (sausages, semi-finished products, meat fillings etc.). Loans protection factor and solvency index GLOBAS-i® of the Information Agency Credinform were calculated for each company.

Loans protection factor (x) – is a 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. If the protection factor is not calculated, then, according to the company’s financials, there is no interest payable to creditors.

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

The negative value of the protection factor indicates about the company’s loss for the last analyzed period.
