Ranking
The largest Russian manufacturers of textile products by current liquidity ratio

Information Agency Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest Russian manufacturers of textile products. The largest enterprises of the industry (TOP-10) in terms of annual 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 current liquidity ratio (Table 1).

Current liquidity ratio (х) is a ratio of total working capital to short-term liabilities. The ratio shows the sufficiency of company’s assets to meet short-term obligations.

The recommended value is from 1,0 to 2,0. The ratio value less than 1 indicates about the excess of short-term liabilities over current working capital.

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 current liquidity ratio for textile products manufacturers is from 0,99 to 2,95.

For the most full and fair opinion about 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.

Total revenue of 10 largest companies amounted to 38% from TOP-100 total revenue. This fact testifies the high level of competition within industry. The shares of the largest companies by 2015 total revenue - LLC COTTON CLUB and TDL TEXTILE LLC in TOP-100 total revenue amounted to 7% (Picture 2).

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

JSC Gazprom Khimvolokno has satisfactory solvency index Globas-i® due to participation as a defendant in debt collection arbitration proceedings and loss in balance sheet ratio structure. The forecast for companies’ index development is stable.

In 2015 all TOP-10 participants increased its net profit. However 3 companies have decrease in revenue in comparison with previous period and JSC Gazprom Khimvolokno has loss (red color in Table 1).

In 2014 the TOP-100 list included 20 loss-making companies and in 2015 the number decreased to 13.

In general within 2004-2016 the ratios of textile products manufacturers in money terms were unstable; this testifies the data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Table 2).

Manufacturers of textiles are unequally distributed across the country and are basically concentrated in industrialized regions with developed production structure, which is especially typical for Ivanovo and Moscow regions. 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 30 Russian regions (Picture 4).
