28 financial ratios from the latest filing, each graded against companies in the same industry.
Net profit as a percentage of total assets — the return generated on the capital employed.
EBIT relative to total assets — the company's earning power before the effects of tax and financial leverage.
Shows how strongly fixed costs weigh on the gross result — a high ratio means fixed costs take only a small bite out of the earnings from basic operations.
The gross result as a share of revenue — how much of the revenue is left after variable costs to cover the company's fixed costs.
EBIT as a share of revenue — the share of revenue remaining as earnings once all operating costs are covered. A key measure of earning power.
The profit for the year as a share of revenue — the company's ability to turn revenue into profit.
Net profit as a percentage of equity — the return the owners earned on their invested capital this year.
Profit relative to net assets (total assets minus total debt) — the ability to generate earnings from the net asset base alone.
Current assets relative to short-term debt — the ability to settle short-term obligations with current assets alone. Around 150% is considered satisfactory from a credit perspective.
Current assets excluding inventory relative to short-term debt — whether the most liquid assets alone can cover the short-term obligations. A value of 1 or above signals a healthy liquidity position.
Cash relative to short-term debt — the ability to repay short-term obligations with cash alone.
Fixed assets relative to long-term capital (equity plus long-term liabilities). Below 100% means the long-term capital finances more than just the fixed assets — a healthier liquidity position.
Cash flow relative to profit — the ability to convert reported profits into accessible cash.
Current assets relative to equity — an indicator of the balance-sheet structure and of the company's short- and long-term financing. The healthy level is highly industry-dependent.
Equity as a share of total assets — the ability to absorb losses. Around 40% is considered satisfactory from a credit perspective.
Total debt relative to the balance-sheet total — the share of the assets financed by debt rather than equity.
Profit relative to debt — the ability to create earnings while operating with debt.

The ability to pay the interest on the company's debt out of its earnings.

The size of this year's increase or decrease in the company's debt.
