ASA 2008 Operating Performance Report Now Available
In this economy, it’s imperative for a distributor to know
how its competitors are performing and how its own company stats compare to the
overall industry averages. ASA makes this information available for purchase to
both ASA members and non-members through the ASA Operating Performance Report
(OPR). The 2008 edition is now complete and ready for purchase - over 31% of
ASA’s membership contributed data to this incredible body of knowledge.
The ASA OPR represents the most complete, accurate and up-to-date comparative financial performance information published anywhere about the PHCP and PVF industries. This study is designed to serve as an easy-to-understand, actionable tool for industry firms to evaluate their company’s operating results in order to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses and improvement opportunities. Understanding financial ratios and the impact of this type of analysis could mean the difference between simply “operating” your business or “excelling” in your industry.
The OPR will help you monitor key performance areas such as:
Return on equity
Gross margin
Gross margin on net sales
Cost of goods sold to average
Payroll expense to gross margin
Gross margin per employee
Detailed survey results that appear in this report are broken down into primary business segments in the PHCP and PVF industries. Within each segment, data is shown for all participating firms, as well as by sales volume size, and a special analysis that focuses on high profit firms is included. The 2008 edition also includes a 20-year trend report for each business segment.
