Return on investment of the largest Russian woodworking companies, Top-10
LLC EGGER DREVPRODUKT SHUYA is the only company with negative ratio value, because of the loss in the last financial period. However according to total financial and non-financial indicators, the high solvency index Globas-i® was assigned to the company.

The company should take out a loan, percent on which is lower than return on investment capital.
