COMPANIES INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT

This Business Ratio report analyses, compares and contrasts the most recent financial details covering three or four years for the leading 138 companies in the industry. For comparison purposes, the base year is the most recent year for which the vast majority of companies have filed details. However, if firms have published more recent details, these are also included as a fourth year of accounts.

For each company, a full 3-year financial profile is provided, including details of its performance on 25 key ratios. The volume also ranks companies against each other on these performance factors, and league table rankings are provided for each. With these you can quickly and easily see how companies compare on performance in the base year.

The figures for all companies in the report are aggregated and analysed to bring you industry average profiles. These show clearly just how the upper part of the sector is performing, and indicate towards trends that may influence all players in the industry.

In addition, an industry overview reviews the findings of the report, highlighting major changes and drawing your attention to the best and worst performers.
