FERRAGENS HAGA SA: FINANCIAL BENCHMARKS AVAILABLE SAN DIEGO, Calif. - – ICON Group International Ltd., today released a study global on labor productivity and financial benchmarks for Ferragens Haga SA (SOP).
How does Ferragens Haga SA’s balance sheet structure differ from global benchmarks? Does Ferragens Haga SA hold more cash and short-term assets, or does it concentrate its assets in physical plant and equipment? Does it have a higher percent of payables compared to the benchmarks? Does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does Ferragens Haga SA have a relatively higher cost of goods sold, operating costs, income taxes, or profit margins compared to global benchmarks? Reports for over 20 Cutlery, Handtools and General Hardware companies are available now, including the following:
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 report is to assist consultants, financial managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging certain indicators of Ferragens Haga SA’s financial structure. Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between Ferragens Haga SA and other Cutlery, Handtools and General Hardware companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from 3.14 to 31.93. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.”
The report uses a proprietary methodology to generate international financial benchmarks and measure gaps that might be revealed from such an exercise. Using common-size statements, ICON Group International Ltd. prepares these vertical analyses by 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. Previously available only through booksellers such as Hoovers, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble, ICON studies are now available directly from the publisher at a 50% discount off the cover price ($210).
