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 10% 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 marginVery strong
Among the 10% highest 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)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)Strong
Among the 40% highest 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)Average
Around the average of companies in the same industry

Basic earning power (BEP)Weak
Among the 30% 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 30% 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 30% 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

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.

Among the 40% highest rated companies in the industry

Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
Financial expenses relative to total liabilities — the effective interest rate the company pays on its debt.
