New year’s recipe by Credinform

It's time to prepare for the New Year 2021. Due to the closed borders, the upcoming holiday will be truly homely: the nearest and dearest people will gather at the New Year's table with traditional champagne, tangerines and Olivier salad.

On the eve of the holiday, Credinform experts analyzed the largest retail chains where Russians will buy groceries for the New Year's table.

The largest retail grocery chains in Russia

A highly competitive food market has developed in Russia in a relatively short period. It is represented by both “near the house” small chain stores and large hypermarkets.

Retail trade has become one of the most important segments of the domestic economy, which quickly introduced modern technologies in both logistics and customer service: cashless payment, online ordering, various services, loyalty programs, etc. Leading chains are located not only in large cities, but also in small regional centers and countryside.

There are 10 retail chains in Russia with annual turnover exceeding 100 billion RUB. The largest ones in terms of the number of stores are: Magnit - 21,154 stores, Pyaterochka - 16,385, Diksi - 2,655, Monetka - 1,634, Perekrestok - 910, Lenta - 379, Auchan - 255, Miratorg - 93, Metro - 92, O'Key - 77. VkusVill healthy food chain with 1,473 stores and turnover of 83 billion RUB, is approaching the TOP-10 leaders.

At the same time, Pyaterochka, Perekrestok, and Karusel are part of the X5 Retail Group Holding. The turnover of the group in 2019 reached 1,7 trillion RUB. The share of X5 in the retail market is 10.5%. The chain of retail stores "Magnit" belongs to the JSC Tander, the main competitor of X5 Retail Group. In 2019, the company received 1,4 trillion RUB of revenue. The market share is about 9%.

Diksi, Krasnoe & Beloe and Bristol are part of the DKBR Mega Retail Group holding having the 4% share in the retail segment. Its revenue in 2019 reached 800 billion RUB.

The cost of a grocery list for Olivier salad by Credinform

Lucien Olivier, who created Olivier salad in the 60s of the 19th century, could hardly have imagined that this dish would be a “must” on the New Year's table in Russia. Since the French chef never revealed the original Olivier recipe, there are about a hundred popular variations of this dish.

Experts of the Information agency Credinform in Saint Petersburg have determined the cost of a grocery list for the "classic" Olivier recipe in various chains of the city, choosing the groceries of the highest quality.

Ranking
TOP-10 of companies that received support from the government

Information agency Credinform represents a ranking of the largest Russian companies that received support from the government (subsidies, subventions, budget investments, inter-budget transfers, independent guarantees, sureties and training events of the SME Corporation). Companies with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the latest available periods (2018 - 2019). They were ranked by the liabilities to assets ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Liabilities to assets ratio shows the share of assets financed by loans. The standard value for this ratio is from 0.2 to 0.5.

Sales revenue and net income show the scale and efficiency of the business activity, and the liabilities to assets ratio indicates the risk of the entity’s insolvency.

Exceeding the upper standard value indicates excessive debt load, which can stimulate development, but negatively affects the stability of the financial position of the company. If the value is below the standard value, this may indicate a conservative strategy of financial management and excessive caution in attracting new borrowed funds.

For the most complete and objective view of the financial condition of the enterprise, it is necessary to pay attention to the complex of indicators and financial ratios of the company.
