The profit for the year as a share of revenue — the company's ability to turn revenue into profit.
Return on equity (ROE)Very strong
Among the 20% highest rated companies in the industry
Net profit as a percentage of equity — the return the owners earned on their invested capital this year.

Among the 20% highest rated companies in the industry
EBIT relative to total assets — the company's earning power before the effects of tax and financial leverage.
Capacity ratioStrong
Among the 40% highest rated companies in the industry
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.
Liquidity
Current ratioAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
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.
Quick ratioAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry

Current assets to equityWeak

Fixed assets to long-term capitalAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
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.
Debt & solvency

Income to debtStrong
Among the 30% highest rated companies in the industry

Around the average of companies in the same industry
Financial expenses relative to total liabilities — the effective interest rate the company pays on its debt.
