ICON Press Release

Releases: Financial and Labor Productivity Benchmarks on Online Resources Corp. by ICON Group International Ltd. SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- – ICON Group International Ltd., released comprehensive studies on financial and labor productivity benchmarks for Online Resources Corp. (NAS: ORCC).
Financial Benchmarks: How does Online Resources Corp.’s balance sheet structure differ from global benchmarks? Does Online Resources Corp. 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 Online Resources Corp. have relatively higher operating costs, income taxes, or profit margins compared to global benchmarks? Labor Benchmarks: Are workers at Online Resources Corp. productive? There is no absolute answer to this economic question. But the report answers such concerns as : 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 in Online Resources Corp. compared to benchmarks from the same economic sector? Reports for the following Business Services companies and many others are available now:
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 Online Resources Corp.’s financial and human resource structure. Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between Online Resources Corp. and other Business Services companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for instance, varied from -115.87 to 27.55 within the group. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.”
Most vertical analyses focus on benchmarking against domestic ratios, often published by government agencies or commercial sources. The ICON analysis is different. ICON Group 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 Online Resources Corp. and the global benchmarks are provided with summary tables of ranks and percentiles. Previously available only through booksellers such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Hoovers, 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).
