About Rating

Practically all the ratings prepared in Russia are made on the sales volume basis. Thus, large enterprises and holding companies are always at top of the rating. At the same time, the size of the enterprise is not always accompanied by effective activity. For this reason we had set and fulfilled the task to develop a methodology how to calculate an average which would allow to prepare a rating not only on volume basis, but also including other indices – cost, profits, depreciation of fixed assets, accounts receivable and payable, liquidity and solvency of the enterprises.

Bimmacon Index (Index of investment appeal) 

IB was developed by our company experts and we received a copyright certificate. Our ratings are made under this particular index.

Regional scope 

The analysis of parameters covers practically all regions in the Russian Federation.

Methodology 

The methodology of ratio calculation conforms to the existing standards and is sent to users with the review.

Periodicity of review publications 

Ratios are calculated and published annually according to half-year and year results. Calculations are made after companies present their accounts in conformity with the Russian accounting standards. Considering the large number of the enterprises in each branch, the transfer of the accounts of thousands of enterprises into IAS is not obviously possible.

Rating is given by taking into account Bimmacon index (IB) or Index of investment appeal. The main purpose of Index of investment appeal is to develop estimation system of investment appeal for enterprises, which would allow to compare performance efficiency and investment appeal of enterprises of different capacity, number of personnel, and also enterprises operating in different business fields.

Index of investment appeal is calculated as an average arithmetic sum of quotients after division of each actual average of an enterprise by normative value of the given average. 45 averages are taken into account.
