Philadelphia, Pa. (December 2, 2005)—The 2005-2006 edition of RMA’s Annual Statement Studies, is available in the traditional book format as well as in a new easy-to-use Web-based format. eStatement Studies offers users the ability to download industry data into Excel, search using a query function, and analyze data by region.
Annual Statement Studies, the premier source for private-firm financial data, presents more than 700 industries using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Trend data is available for five years.
Annual Statement Studies includes two publications:
1. Annual Statement Studies: Financial Ratio Benchmarks, a best-selling RMA product for more than 85 years, is the only source of financial ratio benchmarks derived directly from more than 190,000 statements of financial institution borrowers and prospects. These financial statements come directly to RMA from our member institutions, which get their data directly from the customer.
2. Annual Statement Studies: Industry Default Probabilities and Cash Flow Measures contains expected default frequency estimates, cash flow measures, and change in financial position information for more than 670 industries. It brings together the power of Moody’s RiskCalc™ for private companies and the Statement Studies database to provide distribution statistics on one-year and five-year expected default frequency estimates by industry. These benchmarks add substantial value to the critical analysis of cash flow for private companies.
eStatement Studies combines information from both books into one easy-to-use tool. "Finding what you need is quicker and easier than ever with eStatement Studies,” said Mark Zmiewski, RMA’s director of strategic learning and research. “It has a search function allowing you easy access to industry data. The trend data in Annual Statement Studies covers the past five years, providing the most up-to-date information for the current period and allowing for quick comparisons with the past four periods. And it’s easy to use. With a click of your mouse, you can download data to an Excel spreadsheet. All you need is an Internet connection.”
