Current liquidity ratio of the largest Russian advertising agencies

Information Agency Credinform Credinform has prepared the ranking of the largest Russian advertising agencies. The largest enterprises (TOP-10 and TOP-500) 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 2015 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®, by the experts of Information Agency Credinform Credinform taking into account the actual situation of the economy as a whole and the industries. The practical value of current liquidity ratio for advertising agencies is from 1,00 to 3,19.

For the most full and fair opinion about company’s financial position the whole set of financial indicators and ratios should be taken into account.

Ranking
Net profit ratio of the largest Russian enterprises of grain wholesale

Information agency Credinform has prepared a ranking of the largest Russian enterprises of grain wholesale. The enterprises with the highest volume of revenue (TOP-10 and TOP-100) were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available accounting periods (2015 and 2014) (TOP-10 and TOP-100). Then they were ranked by decrease in net profit ratio in 2015 (Table 1).

Net profit ratio (%) is calculated as a relation of net profit (loss) to sales revenue and shows sales profit rate. There is no prescribed value for this ratio. It is recommended to compare companies within one industry or change of the ratio with time for the particular enterprise. Negative value of the indicator shows net loss. High value of the indicator demonstrates efficient work of an enterprise.

Taking into account the actual situation both for the economy in general and in industries, experts of the Information agency Credinform, developed and realized in the Information and Analytical system Globas® calculation of actual values of financial ratios that can be normal for the particular industry. For grain wholesale companies actual value of the net profit ratio in 2015 was 0,19%.

For getting of the most comprehensive and fair picture of the financial standing of an enterprise it is necessary to pay attention to all available combination of financial indicators and ratios.
