Financial Performance Indicators for Canadian Business is an authoritative reference
source of key financial ratios by industry. It is based on up-to-date, reliable and 
comprehensive data on Canadian businesses, derived from Statistics Canada databases 
of financial statements.

The indicators are designed to serve as financial performance benchmarks against 
which individual firms and industries can be compared. It allows firms to precisely 
position themselves within their peer group.

Volumes 1 and 2

Financial performance indicators are a series of 15 commonly used financial ratios. 
In table 1, the financial ratios are divided into three categories, profitability, solvency 
and efficiency ratios.  The table also indicates the portion of the firms in each industry 
that experienced profits as opposed to losses.

Table 2
sets out a "common-sized" balance sheet which provides a structural analysis of the 
balance sheet.


Volume 3
Six principal financial ratios - net profit margin, pretax profit margin, gross profit margin,
pretax profits to assets, return on equity and liabilities to assets, are presented in volume 3.
It also contains year over year sales growth rates for the two most current years and the
percentage of all firms that experienced profits as opposed to losses.
