Information agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest plastic package manufacturers in Russia. Manufacturers of plastic package having the largest annual revenue in the industry (TOP-10) for the last available in the Statistical register period (2015 and 2014) were taken for the ranking. Further they were ranked on the net profit ratio (Table 1).

The net profit ratio (%) is calculated as a ratio of the net profit (loss) to sales revenue. The ratio shows the rate of companies’ sales profit. There aren’t any standard values of the indicator. It is recommended to compare companies belonging to one industry or the change of the ratio with time by a certain enterprise. The negative value of the indicator shows that there is a net loss. The more the value of indicator is, the more effective the enterprise works.

In order to get the full and fair picture of the company’s financial situation, it is necessary to pay attention not only to compatibility with standard values, but also to all the available complex of financial indicators and ratios.

*) - group of companies average value
**) - industry average value

The average value of net profit ratio in the group of companies TOP-10 in 2015 is notably higher than industry-average value. At the same time the indicator value of nine companies of the TOP-10 in 2015 increased comparing to the previous period. Indicator value of JSC Polimerbyt decreased by 2,33%.

The revenue volume of the 10 largest companies amounts to 38% of the total revenue of 100 largest companies. It gives evidence to low monopolization rate and high competition in this industry. For example, the share of the company largest by the revenue volume in 2015 – JSC RETAL – amounted to 11% in the total revenue of the TOP-100 group of companies (Figure 2).

All of the TOP-10 companies were given prime or high solvency index Globas-i^®, which bears evidence to their ability to meet debt obligations timely and full. All TOP-10 companies in 2015 increased their net profit and revenue comparing to the previous period.

The indicators of plastic package manufacture by volume over the 2010 to 2016 period aren’t stable, which is confirmed by the data of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) (Table 2).

*) In the Table 2 the decline in production is highlighted with the red shading, the growth - with the green one. Color density depends on indicator value.

Manufacture of polymer bottles appeared to be the most stable over the 2010 to 2016 period.

Enterprises manufacturing plastic package are distributed in an uneven manner within country’s regions and gravitate to the developed industrial centers, having the infrastructure for high-tech manufacture. It is confirmed by the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas-i, according to which 100 companies industry-largest by the revenue volume for 2015 are registered in 33 regions of Russia (Figure 3).

Information Agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest Russian investment companies. The largest enterprises of the industry (TOP-10) in terms of revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (2015 and 2014). Then the companies were ranged by the debt ratio (Table 1).

Debt ratio (or the debt to assets ratio) 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 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 debt to assets ratio 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-i^® by the experts of Information Agency Credinform, taking into account the actual situation of the economy as a whole and the industries. The practical value of debt ratio for investment companies is from 0 to 0,77.

For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial position not only the compliance with standard values, but the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.

*) - average value within group of companies

In 2015 the average value of debt ratio within TOP-10 group of companies is much higher than average value within TOP-100 group of companies, which has negative value. Meanwhile only two companies, which take first two places of the ranking, have the ratio within recommended and practical values. In 2015 the industry average value amounted to 0,09.

Total revenue of 10 largest companies amounted to 79% from TOP-100 total revenue. This fact testifies the high level of monopolization within industry. Thus, the share of the largest company by 2015 total revenue - LLC CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (MOSCOW) in TOP-10 total revenue amounted to more than 31% (Picture 2).

All companies from TOP-10 list have high solvency index Globas-i^®, this fact shows the ability of the companies to meet their obligations in time and fully.

Five companies from TOP-10 list (red color in Table 1) have loss or decrease in net profit or decrease in 2015 revenue in comparison with previous period.

In general the investment activity ratios are not sustainable over the last few years; this testifies the estimated data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Picture 3, Table 2).

(The index of physical volume is the ratio of investment volume into fixed capital for the current period to the base period. The ratio is calculated within comparable prices.)

The raised funds as the source of investment into fixed capital amounted to approximately 50% (Table 2).

*) Red color in table 2 shows decrease of the share in comparison with previous period, green color shows the growth.

Investment companies are unequally distributed across the country and concentrated in Moscow – the largest financial center of the country. This fact is confirmed by data from the Information and Analytical system Globas-i, according to which 100 largest companies of the industry in terms of 2015 revenue are registered in 14 Russian regions (Picture 4).
