The newest edition contains the largest number of statements and industries ever. The electronic version allows users to calculate their clients’ financial statements in the same way RMA calculates the data presented in Annual Statement Studies.
Philadelphia, Pa. (November 1, 2007) — The 2007-08 edition of RMA’s Annual Statement Studies is now available in the traditional book format as well as in the easy-to-use Web-based format, eStatement Studies. The latter offers users the ability to download industry data into an Excel® spreadsheet, search using a query function, and analyze data by region.
“This edition of Annual Statement Studies contains the largest number of statements and industries ever,” said Mark Zmiewski, RMA’s director of strategic learning and research. “A new feature in our eStatement Studies, the client comparison Worksheet, allows users to calculate their clients’ financial statements in the same way RMA calculates the data presented in Annual Statement Studies.”
Annual Statement Studies, the premier source for private-firm financial data, presents 746 industries using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. This year’s data was compiled from more than 269,000 statements received from financial institutions. Trend data is available for five years. RMA’s Credit and Lending Dictionary also is available in the Statement Studies books.
Annual Statement Studies includes two publications:
- Annual Statement Studies: Financial Ratio Benchmarks, a best-selling RMA product for 88 years, is the only source of financial ratio benchmarks derived directly from 269,000 statements of financial institutions’ borrowers and prospects. These financial statements come directly to RMA from its member institutions, which get their data directly from the customer.
- 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 699 industries. It brings together the power of Moody’s KMV 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 includes all of the new Annual Statement Studies data for 2007-08—both the Financial Ratio Benchmarks and Industry Default Probabilities and Cash Flow Measures.
