Information agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the Russian largest enterprises on drilling related to oil and gas extraction on return on investments ratio.

The largest by revenue enterprises in this industry in Russia (TOP-10) for the last available in the Statistical register period (2015) were taken for the ranking. Further the enterprises were ranked in the descending order of return on investments ratio. (Table 1).

Return on investments (%) is calculated as a ratio of net profit (loss) to net assets value. The indicator characterizes a yield from each ruble, received from investments, i.e. the number of monetary units required by an enterprise for receiving one monetary unit of net profit.

In order to get the full and fair picture of company’s financial situation, it’s necessary to pay attention not only to the level of return on investments, but also to all the available combination of its financial data and ratios.

LLC BUROVAYA KOMPANIYA EURASIA took the fifth place of the ranking, having the largest revenue for 2015. The company’s share in the total revenue volume of the TOP-10 amounted to 31%. Furthermore it has the largest profit indicator among the TOP-10 companies.

ERIELL NEFTEGAZSERVICE LLC shows the largest return on investments. However this indicator decreased by 2,5 times in comparison with the previous accounting period. Besides, the company was given the insufficient solvency index Globas-i, due to information about being a defendant in debt collection arbitration proceedings and claims filed against the company for recognition bankrupt (insolvent). For these reasons the same solvency index Globas-i was given to LLC INTEGRA – DRILLING.

LLC RN-BURENIE and LLC BVS EURASIA were given satisfactory solvency indices Globas-i, due to being a defendant in debt collection arbitration proceedings. Moreover, LLC BVS EURASIA is the only company out of the TOP-10, having the net loss and correspondingly the negative value of return on investments for 2014 and 2015.

The rest six companies were given the prime and high solvency index Globas-i, which gives evidence to their ability to meet the debt obligations timely and in full.

The industry-average value amounted to 11,97% in 2013 and decreased to 6,89% in 2014. The corresponding trend of return on investments decrease is also observed in the group of companies TOP-10, where the indicator of the seven companies has worsened.

The total revenue volume of the TOP-10 for 2015 amounted to 194 billion RUB, which is by 9% lower than the indicator for 2014. At the same time the net profit of these companies increased by 55% for the same period.

In the whole, the industry closely related to energy sources extraction, faces certain difficulties, generated by the known events both in the world energy sources market, and in geopolitical sphere.

The data of the Federal State Statistics Service gives evidence on the one hand to constant growth of the number of wells in the absolute value (Figure 2), on the other – growth rates from year to year don’t show stability (Figure 3).

Owing to specific manufacturing features, the enterprises on drilling related to oil and gas extraction gravitate either to the largest financial center of the country – Moscow, or to regions where it is possible to locate the cost-effective production facility. The data of the Information and Analytical system Globas-i on registration of 100 industry largest by the revenue volume companies gives evidence to it. TOP-7 regions:

Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission took a decision on reduction of import customs duties for light electro vehicles from 17% to zero value. The decision has come into force from September 2, 2016 and be in effect until September 2017.

According to this decision, import customs duties for cargo electro vehicles gross weight up to 5 tons were reduced from 15% to 5%.

Such benefits for green transport do not apply to the automobiles with hybrid engines and plugged hybrids.

Earlier, from February 2014 to December 2015, zero rate of import customs duty for electromobiles in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) was already in operation. This stimulated import of electromobiles in some way, taking into account their relative expensiveness. For example, in 2015 a little less than 700 electromobiles were imported to the EEU countries. However, after expiration date of zero rate, import has 6 times reduced, and for the first four months of 2016 about 30 electromobiles were imported.

Currently, there is about a million electromobiles around the globe. Herewith the fleet of such vehicles is increasing about 80%. The largest increase is observed in the USA, Japan, Norway and Sweden.

Meanwhile, in Russia figures remain low. In 2015 about 120 electromobiles were sold. On the beginning of January 2016 the park of electromobiles did not exceed 650 items, mostly – in Moscow, and a few items – in Primorsky and Krasnodar territories, in Samara and Moscow regions.

According to experts, decrease in import customs duties for electromobiles causes decrease in cost and, consequently, increase of its number in the country. The Regulation of the Government of Russia is also aimed at the stimulation of electric transport development. According to the Regulation, up to November 1, 2016, all gasoline stations must be equipped with charging devices for electromobiles.
