Profitability
Gross marginAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
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.
Operating marginVery weak
Among the 20% lowest rated companies in the industry
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.
Net profit marginWeak
Among the 30% lowest rated companies in the industry
The profit for the year as a share of revenue — the company's ability to turn revenue into profit.
Return on equity (ROE)Very weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
Net profit as a percentage of equity — the return the owners earned on their invested capital this year.
Return on assets (ROA)Very weak
Among the 20% lowest rated companies in the industry
Net profit as a percentage of total assets — the return generated on the capital employed.
Return on net assets (RONA)Very weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
Profit relative to net assets (total assets minus total debt) — the ability to generate earnings from the net asset base alone.
Basic earning power (BEP)Very weak
Among the 20% lowest rated companies in the industry
EBIT relative to total assets — the company's earning power before the effects of tax and financial leverage.
Capacity ratioWeak
Among the 40% lowest 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 ratioStrong
Among the 40% highest rated companies in the 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 ratioStrong
Among the 40% highest rated companies in the industry
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 ratioVery weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
Cash relative to short-term debt — the ability to repay short-term obligations with cash alone.
Current assets to equityWeak
Among the 40% lowest rated companies in the industry
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.
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 conversion ratioStrong
Among the 30% highest rated companies in the industry
Cash flow relative to profit — the ability to convert reported profits into accessible cash.
Debt & solvency
Solidity ratioAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Equity as a share of total assets — the ability to absorb losses. Around 40% is considered satisfactory from a credit perspective.
Debt ratioStrong
Among the 40% highest rated companies in the industry
Total debt relative to the balance-sheet total — the share of the assets financed by debt rather than equity.
Debt to equityAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Debt relative to equity — the company's leverage. A higher value means heavier reliance on debt financing.
Liabilities to equityAverage
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Total liabilities relative to equity — whether the company operates primarily on borrowed capital or on its own.
Income to debtVery weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
Profit relative to debt — the ability to create earnings while operating with debt.
EBITDA to debtVery weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
EBITDA relative to debt — how much operating earnings are available to service the debt.
Interest coverageVery weak
Among the 20% lowest rated companies in the industry
The ability to pay the interest on the company's debt out of its earnings.

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.
