Ranking
Debt ratio of the largest Russian scientific-research and design institutions

Information Agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest Russian scientific-research and design institutions. The largest enterprises (TOP-10) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (2016 and 2015). Then the companies were ranged by debt ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Debt ratio (or the ratio of borrowed and own funds) is one of the financial stability ratios. The ratios of this group determine the possibility of granting the long-term loans or investing as they characterize the possibility of the company to meet its long-term obligations. The debt ratio (х) is calculated as a ratio of total borrowed funds to equity capital and shows how many units of borrowed funds the company had attracted to each unit of own sources of financing.

The recommended value of the ratio is less than 1. The ratio of borrowed and own funds should not be negative, therefore the ratio value from 0 to 1 is one of the indicators of company’s high ability to meet its obligations.

The calculation of practical values of financial indicators, 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 Information Agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation of the economy as a whole and the industries. In 2015 the practical value of debt ratio for scientific-research and design institutions ranged from 0 to 2,02.

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