Leverage ratio of the largest Russian manufacturers of detergents, perfumery and cosmetics
Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest Russian manufacturers of detergents, perfumery and cosmetics. The enterprises with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) have been selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available accounting periods (2016 and 2015). Then they have been ranked by leverage ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Leverage ratio (or a ratio of debt and equity) is one of one of financial stability ratios. These ratios demonstrate potential opportunity of granting of long-term loans or investment, as they assess the company’s ability to meet its long-term obligations. Leverage ratio (Lr) is a ratio of total debt to total equity, and it indicates the number of units of company’s borrowings for every unit of its own source of financing.
Its recommended value is from 0 to 1. The ratio of debt and equity should not be negative, so a ratio value within the limit is one of the indicators that the company is able to meet its obligations.
A calculation of practical values of financial ratios, which might be considered as normal for a certain industry, has been developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas by the experts of the Information Agency Credinform, having taken into account the current situation in the economy as a whole and in the industries. The practical value of leverage ratio for manufacturers of detergents, perfumery and cosmetics amounted from 0 to 5,55 in 2015.
The whole set of financial indicators and ratios of a company is to be considered to get the fullest and fairest opinion about the company’s financial standing.
