| | NOW AVAILABLE: Vertical Gap Analysis And Labor Productivity Benchmarks on Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO San Diego -- – Released today by ICON Group International Ltd.: Two of the most comprehensive studies to date on vertical gap analysis and labor productivity benchmarks for Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO (MOS: PRIM). 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 Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO’s financial and human resource structure. The report has benchmarked Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO against competing firms in the Water Transportation 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

Each report reveals productivity and industry ranks for Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO in the Water Transportation industry.

The vertical analysis deals with questions like: How has Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO’s asset structure varied compared to global benchmarks for the Water Transportation 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 Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO typically have a higher percent of payables compared to the benchmarks, or does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO have a relatively higher cost of goods sold, operating costs, or income taxes compared to global benchmarks? Have Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO’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 Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO and other Water Transportation companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from -3.67 to 44.83. 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, ICON Group International Ltd. 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 Primorsk Shipping Corporation AO. 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.
