Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of Russian small companies in wholesale trade. Russian small companies that are wholesalers and are included in the Register of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Federal Tax Service, and have the largest annual revenue (TOP-10) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available accounting periods (2015 - 2017). Then they were ranked by debt to assets ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Debt to assets ratio indicates the share of the company’s assets being financed by loans. Normal value of the ratio is from 0.2 to 0.5.
Sales revenue and net profit demonstrate a company’s size and its business efficiency, and debt to solvency ratio indicates the risk of insolvency. It is particularly important to consider the structure of liabilities: both current and non-current. Long-term projects are not to be financed by short-term loans that are due less than in 12 months. Unforeseen conditions may have a great impact on a company’s solvency.
In 2017, almost two-thirds of the companies had a debt to assets ratio that is above the average industry one. It characterizes the wholesale industry as a one that is more dependent on external funds.
The indicators and financial ratios under consideration, as well as their change, are to be considered to get a full and comprehensive vision of the financial standing of the sector companies. See the TOP-10 companies ranking below (Table 1).

In 2017 seven of TOP-10 companies improved their sales revenue, and seven companies had a higher net profit. Average sales revenue of TOP-10 companies declined, and debt to assets ratio stayed the same.
In 2017 43% of total industry revenue belonged to the companies from the Central Federal District (Picture 2). Moscow and St. Petersburg have 26.2 and 11.4% of total revenue respectively. Moscow is also leading at assets and liabilities volume that are 29.6 and 28.9% respectively. TOP-5 regions by revenue of small companies in wholesale trade are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow region, Leningrad region and Novosibirsk region. The same is regarding debt to assets ratio. This indicates that central regions of Russia are attractive for small businesses.
During the decade average debt to assets ratio clearly tends to grow (Picture 3). The growth peaked in 2014. The last 3 years showed a gradual decline in debt to assets ratio. In general, the sector needs time to get to the same level as 8 years ago.
Information agency Credinform has observed trends in the activity of the largest Russian enterprises engaged in collection, processing and disposal of waste. Companies with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10 and TOP-1000), were selected for the analysis, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (for 2015-2017). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Net assets - indicator, reflecting the real value of company's property, is calculated annually as the difference between assets on the enterprise balance and its debt obligations. The indicator of net assets is considered negative (insufficiency of property), if company’s debt exceeds the value of its property.

The ratio is calculated as the relation of net profit to the sum of own capital and long-term liabilities and demonstrates the return on the equity involved in the commercial activity of own capital and the long-term borrowed funds of an organization.
Asset turnover ratio is calculated as the relation of sales revenue to the average value of total assets for a period and characterizes the efficiency of use of all available resources, regardless of the sources of their attraction. The ratio shows how many times a year a complete cycle of production and circulation is made, yielding profit.
This business activity ratio showed a tendency to decrease for ten-year period (Picture 10).
