figures
Below, a few business indicators:
(Audit: Schabetsberger & Partner Steuerberatung und Unternehmensberatung GmbH, May 2010)
Equity Ratio mquadr.at
Comment: As can be seen in the graph, mquadr.at has had a constantly high equity ratio for years, which is primarily related to the owner's conservative dividend policy of 2006 and 2007. This allowed the generally bad economic year of 2008 to be used for further improvement to products and the quality of internal working processes. A clear profit was already being returned again in 2009, resulting in the equity ratio increasing once more to 20%. Irrespective of this, the policy of reinvesting the profits in the company will be carried on into the future.
Working Capital Ratio mquadr.at
Comment: In every one of its years mquadr.at GmbH has had a working capital ratio of more than 1, enabling the company at all times to service all short-term commitments with current assets and available liquid funds. Due to professional liquidity planning by the finance department, this indicator has during the entire period of observation been considerably higher than the minimum required.
Returns on Investment mquadr.at 2009
Comment: mquadr.at's operating margin has been in constant growth over recent years. In 2009 mquadr.at's operating margin of around 7% was well above average – this is primarily attributable to the company’s high productivity.
