Around the average of companies in the same industry
The profit for the year as a share of revenue — the company's ability to turn revenue into profit.
Return on equity (ROE)Average
Around the average of companies in the same industry
Net profit as a percentage of equity — the return the owners earned on their invested capital this year.
Return on assets (ROA)Average

EBIT relative to total assets — the company's earning power before the effects of tax and financial leverage.
Capacity ratioVery strong

Liquidity
Current ratioWeak
Among the 40% lowest 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.

Fixed assets to long-term capitalVery weak
