FINANCIAL AND LABOR PRODUCTIVITY BENCHMARKS ON K1 VENTURES LTD. PUBLISHED SAN DIEGO, Calif. - - ICON Group International Ltd. today released studies on labor productivity and financial benchmarks for K1 Ventures Ltd. (SIN: K09).
How does K1 Ventures Ltd.’s balance sheet structure differ from global benchmarks? Does K1 Ventures Ltd. hold more cash and short-term assets? Does it have more retained earnings compared to the benchmarks? Does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does K1 Ventures Ltd. have relatively higher pre-tax margins compared to global benchmarks?
Are workers at K1 Ventures Ltd. productive? There is no absolute answer to this economic question. The second study considers how labor deployment and productivity indicators for K1 Ventures Ltd. differ from the global benchmarks. It looks at the amount of labor required to operate K1 Ventures Ltd. and the resulting return on human investment. What is the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee? What are comparative capital-labor ratios? What are the average operating expenses per employee in K1 Ventures Ltd. compared to benchmarks in the Offices Of Holding Companies sector? Reports for over 20 Offices Of Holding Companies 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 reports is to assist consultants, financial managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging certain indicators of K1 Ventures Ltd.’s financial and human resource structure. Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between K1 Ventures Ltd. and other Offices Of Holding Companies companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from -1.83 to 96.5. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.”
The report uses a proprietary methodology to generate international financial and human resource 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, two studies are now available direct from the publisher at a 50% discount off the cover price.
