FINANCIAL AND LABOR PRODUCTIVITY BENCHMARKS ON WAKACHIKU CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. PUBLISHED SAN DIEGO, Calif. - - ICON Group International Ltd. today released studies on labor productivity and financial benchmarks for Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd. (TYO: 1888).
How does Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd.’s balance sheet structure differ from global benchmarks? Does Wakachiku Construction Co., 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 Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd. have relatively higher pre-tax margins compared to global benchmarks?
Are workers at Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd. productive? There is no absolute answer to this economic question. The second study considers how labor deployment and productivity indicators for Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd. differ from the global benchmarks. It looks at the amount of labor required to operate Wakachiku Construction Co., 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 Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd. compared to benchmarks in the Heavy Construction sector? Reports for over 24 Heavy Construction 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 Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd.’s financial and human resource structure. Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between Wakachiku Construction Co., Ltd. and other Heavy Construction companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from -6.53 to 69.51. 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.
