| | AVAILABLE NOW! LABOR PRODUCTIVITY BENCHMARKS AND VERTICAL GAP ANALYSIS ON Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. San Diego - – Published today by ICON Group International, Ltd. Two of the most comprehensive studies to date on labor productivity and vertical gap analysis benchmarks for Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. (SEO: 26870). The methodologist for this unique study is Philip Parker, Eli Lilly Chair Professor of Innovation, Business and Society at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France and Singapore). According to Professor Parker, “With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of barriers to entry, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company’s financial indicators on a worldwide basis. World stock markets have recently witnessed a return to fundamental financial analysis. ” The goal of the reports is to assist consultants, financial managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging certain indicators of Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd.’s financial and human resource structure. The report has benchmarked Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. against competing firms in the Gas Production and Distribution industry worldwide—going beyond traditional methods of company benchmarking. The results are two specialized reports: (1) global financial benchmarks using common-size statement ratios (vertical analysis), and (2) labor productivity and utilization measures collected across borders. Coverage
Two reports, financial ratios and labor productivity ratios, are available for Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd.. Each report reveals productivity and industry ranks for Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. in the Gas Production and Distribution industry. Reports for the following and many other Gas Production and Distribution companies are available now: AGL Resources Inc.

Oneok Inc Peoples Energy Corporation Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Incorporated Semco Energy, Inc. Sempra Energy Southern Union Company Southwest Gas Corporation Transcanada Pipelines Limited Utilicorp United Inc Vectren Corpn Westcoast Energy Inc WGL Holdings, Inc.
The vertical analysis deals with questions like: How has Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd.’s asset structure varied compared to global benchmarks for the Gas Production and Distribution industry? Does it generally hold more cash and other short-term assets, or does it tend to concentrate its assets in physical plant and equipment? On the liability side, does Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. typically have a higher percent of payables compared to the benchmarks, or does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. have a relatively higher cost of goods sold, operating costs, or income taxes compared to global benchmarks? Have Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd.’s returns on equity been higher or its profit margins greater? While the labor productivity analysis answers the following: What has been the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee? What are typical capital-labor ratios? What are the average sales and net profits per employee compared to global benchmarks? Professor Parker notes, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd. and other Gas Production and Distribution companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from 1.31 to 62.1. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.” Methodology: Uncovering Gaps
Most vertical analyses merely focus on benchmarking against domestic ratios, often published by government agencies or commercial sources. In contrast, the report calculates thousands of industry norms by looking at firms at the global level, pooling statistics on tens of thousands of companies across over 40 countries, and applying a seven-stage methodology: (1) identification of industry classifications, (2) firm-level data collection and aggregation, (3) standardization of raw statistics, (4) filtering outliers, (5) calculation of global norms, (6) projection of deviations and gaps, and (7) projection of ranks and percentiles. For each part of the financial statement, the larger structural differences and gaps between Daehan City Gas Co., Ltd.. and the global benchmarks are provided with summary tables of ranks and percentiles. Previously available only through booksellers such as Hoovers, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble, two studies are now available direct from the publisher at a 50% discount off the cover price.
