Debt to assets ratio of the largest construction companies of Russia
ranking 25.05.2016
Information agency Credinform prepared a ranking of leading construction companies of Russia.
Companies with the highest volume of revenue were selected for this ranking according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available period (for the year 2014). The enterprises were ranked by debt to assets ratio (Top-10).
Debt to assets ratio (x) is calculated as a ratio of long-term and short-term borrowings to the amount of the balance and indicates the proportion of the company's assets funded by loans.
Recommended value is from 0,2 to 0,5. Exceeding the upper normative value indicates the excessive debt load, which can stimulate the development but has a negative impact on corporate finance stability. The value below normative shows conservative strategy of financial management and excessive caution in attracting the new borrowings.
For the most comprehensive and objective view on the company’s financial situation, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the average indicators in the industry, but to the totality of financial indicators and ratios.
