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 40% 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)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

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 ratioVery weak
Among the 10% 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 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.
Quick ratioWeak

Fixed assets to long-term capitalWeak
Among the 40% lowest rated companies in the industry

Total debt relative to the balance-sheet total — the share of the assets financed by debt rather than equity.
