Information agency Credinform has prepared a review of activity trends of the largest Russian security companies.
The largest companies (ТОP-1000) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (2013 - 2018). The analysis was based on data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Net assets is a ratio reflecting the real value of company's property. It is calculated annually as the difference between assets on the enterprise balance and its debt obligations. The ratio is considered negative (insufficiency of property), if company’s debt exceeds the value of its property.
The largest company in terms of net assets is SECURITY COMPANY AMULET LLC, INN 5609068043, Orenburg region. In 2018 net assets of the company amounted to 284 million RUB.
The smallest size of net assets in TOP-1000 had PRIVATE SECURITY ENTERPRISE AERO GUARD LLC, INN 5009045622, Moscow region. The lack of property of the company in 2018 was expressed in negative terms -150 million RUB.
For the last ten years, the average values of TOP-1000 net assets showed the growing tendency with positive dynamics of growth rates (Picture 1).
For the last five years, the share of ТОP-1000 enterprises with lack of property is decreasing (Picture 2).
Sales revenue
In 2018, the total revenue of 10 largest companies amounted to 13% from ТОP-1000 total revenue (Picture 3). This fact testifies the high level of competition in the industry.
In general, the growing trend in sales revenue with positive dynamics of growth rates is observed (Picture 4).
Profit and loss
The largest company in terms of net profit is PSC BASTION LLC, INN 8904047159, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. In 2019 the company’s profit amounted to 271 million RUB.
For the last ten years, the average profit values of TOP-1000 show the growing tendency with a decrease in growth rates (Picture 5).
Over a five-year period, the average net profit values of ТОP-1000 show the growing tendency, along with this the average net loss is also increasing (Picture 6).
Main financial ratios
For the last ten years, the average values of the current liquidity ratio were within the recommended values - from 1,0 to 2,0, with growing trend (Picture 7).
The current liquidity ratio (ratio of total working capital to short-term liabilities) shows the sufficiency of company’s assets to meet short-term obligations.
Within ten years, the downward trend of the average values of ROI ratio is observed (Picture 8).
The ROI ratio is calculated as a ratio of net profit to sum of stockholder equity and long-term liabilities and shows the return from equity involved in commercial activities and long-term borrowed funds.
Assets turnover ratio is the ratio of sales revenue and company’s average total assets for a period. It characterizes the effectiveness of using of all available resources, regardless the source of their attraction. The ratio shows how many times per year the full cycle of production and circulation is performed, generating the corresponding effect in the form of profit.
For the last ten years, this business activity ratio demonstrated the downward trend (Picture 9).
Small businesses
91% of ТОP-1000 companies are registered in the Unified register of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Russian Federal Tax Service. Herein, their share in TOP-1000 total revenue is almost 65%, which is more than three times higher than the national average value in 2018 – 2019 (Picture 10).
Main regions of activity
ТОP-1000 companies are unequally located across the country and registered in 73 regions of Russia. More than 48% of the largest enterprises in terms of revenue are located in Moscow, Moscow region and St. Petersburg (Picture 11).
Financial position score
An assessment of the financial position of TOP-1000 companies shows that the largest part have above average financial position (Picture 12).
Solvency index Globas
Most of TOP-1000 companies got superior/high or strong/medium Solvency index Globas, this fact shows the ability of the companies to meet their obligations in time and fully (Picture 13).

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest Russian security companies. The largest enterprises (TOP-10) in terms of annual revenue were selected according to the data from the Statistical Register for the available periods (2016-2018). Then the companies were ranged by return on assets ratio (Table 1). The analysis was based on the data from the Information and Analytical system Globas.
Return on assets (%) is calculated as the relation of the sum of net profit and interest payable to the total assets value of a company and shows how many monetary units of net profit are earned by every unit of total assets.
The ratio characterizes the effectiveness of using by the company of its resources. The higher is the ratio value, the more effective is business, that is the higher the return per every monetary unit invested in assets.
However, it is necessary to take into account that the book value of assets may not correspond to their current market value. For example, under the influence of inflation, the book value of fixed assets will increasingly be underestimated in time, that will lead to an overestimation of the return on assets. Thus, it is necessary to take into account not only the structure, but also the age of the assets.
It should be also taken into account the dynamics of this indicator. Its consistent decline indicates a drop in asset utilization.
For the most full and fair opinion about the company’s financial position the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.
