| | AVAILABLE NOW! LABOR PRODUCTIVITY BENCHMARKS AND VERTICAL GAP ANALYSIS ON Golden Resources Development International 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 Golden Resources Development International Ltd. (HKG: 677). 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 Golden Resources Development International Ltd.’s financial and human resource structure. The report has benchmarked Golden Resources Development International Ltd. against competing firms in the Grain Mill Products 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 Golden Resources Development International Ltd.. Each report reveals productivity and industry ranks for Golden Resources Development International Ltd. in the Grain Mill Products industry. Reports for the following and many other Grain Mill Products companies are available now: Archer Daniels Midland Co. Aurora Foods BHJ A/S Budi Acid Jaya Tbk. P.T. Carr's Milling Industries, PLC Ceylon Grain Elevators Limited Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Tbk. P.T. Daesang Corporation Ebro Puleva SA Eridania Beghin-Say Evialis S.A. FFM Berhad General Mills, Inc. Glanbia PLC Kellogg Co Kraft Foods Inc. Nippon Flour Mills Co., Ltd. Nosan Corp. Nutreco Holding NV Purina Mills, Inc. Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. Riviana Foods Inc. Tyson Foods, Inc. VK Muhlen AG
The vertical analysis deals with questions like: How has Golden Resources Development International Ltd.’s asset structure varied compared to global benchmarks for the Grain Mill Products 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 Golden Resources Development International Ltd. typically have a higher percent of payables compared to the benchmarks, or does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does Golden Resources Development International Ltd. have a relatively higher cost of goods sold, operating costs, or income taxes compared to global benchmarks? Have Golden Resources Development International 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 Golden Resources Development International Ltd. and other Grain Mill Products companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from -1.76 to 25.1. 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 Golden Resources Development International 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. This special offer includes International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis and Labor Productivity Benchmarks and International Gap Analysis at US$ $420 ($210) each.
