Information agency Credinform presents a ranking of the largest Russian manufacturers of medical appliances and equipment. Companies with the highest volume of revenue (TOP-10) were selected for this ranking according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (2016 and 2015). The enterprises were ranked by current liquidity ratio in 2015 (Table 1). The analysis was based on data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Current liquidity ratio (х) is calculated as current assets to short-term liabilities of the company. The recommended value is from 1.0 to 2.0. The value of the indicator less than 1.0 indicates the excess of current liabilities over current working capital. Thus, the lower interval limit is determined by the need to ensure the adequacy of working capital for the full repayment of short-term liabilities. Otherwise, the enterprise faces bankruptcy. However, a significant excess of short-term funds over liabilities may indicate a violation of the capital structure and non-rational or inefficient investment of funds.

Taking into account the actual situation both in economy in general and in sectors, the experts of the Information Agency Credinform have developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical System Globas the calculation of practical values of financial ratios that can be recognized as normal for a particular industry. The practical value of current liquidity ratio for manufacturers of medical appliances and equipment in 2016 was from 1,03 to 8,91.

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

The average value of current liquidity ratio of TOP-10 companies in 2016 is higher than practical and average values. Five companies of the TOP-10 have increased indicators of revenue and net profit compared to the previous period. Other companies have decreased their indicators (marked with red filling in columns 3 and 5 of Table 1).

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest Russian hunting farms. The companies with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) have been selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available accounting periods (2016 and 2015). Then they have been ranked by asset turnover ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Asset turnover is a ratio of sales revenue to average total assets for the period. It is one of the activity ratios and it indicates resource efficiency regardless of sources. This ratio shows the number of profit-bearing complete production and distribution cycles per annum.

A calculation of practical values of financial ratios, which might be considered as normal for a certain industry, has been developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas by the experts of the Information Agency Credinform, having taken into account the current situation in the economy as a whole and in the industries. The practical value of asset turnover ratio for hunting farms amounted from 0,16 in 2016.

The whole set of financial indicators and ratios is to be considered to get the fullest and fairest opinion about the company’s financial standing.

The average value of asset turnover ratio within TOP-10 companies is higher than practical and industry average values (green color in columns 6 and 7 of Table 1 and Picture 1). Five of TOP-10 companies have higher revenue and net profit compared to the prior period. The rest of the companies have a decrease in revenue or profit, or have loss (red color in columns 3 and 5 of Table 1).
