Latin American financial KPI benchmark

This report provides a deep insight into Latin America’s economy, namely into the economy of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, as these countries are economically the most important in the region. However, these economies are at a critical point as in the near future they could experience rapid growth as well as become a victim of political turmoil. To gain a better overview, this report examines the annual reports of over 700 listed domestic companies in ten different sectors.

The following service sectors are covered:

  • Consumer services
  • Industrial services
  • Retail trade
  • Transportation

Additionally, six manufacturing sectors are analyzed throughout the report:
  • Consumer durables
  • Consumer non-durables
  • Non-energy minerals
  • Process industries
  • Producer manufacturing
  • Utilities

The analysis focuses on the various sectors and highlights individual companies as well to help understand sector differences and key learnings.

First, based on the data provided in the financial statements of the companies, efficiency KPIs are examined, such as revenue, expenses, number of employees, and revenue per employee.

Afterward, balance sheets are analyzed. The applied solvency and activity indicators, such as the long-term debt-to-equity ratios, quick ratio, or asset turnover, help access the companies’ ability to pay their short-term and long-term obligations.

Finally, five-year annual revenue growth rates, five-year average net profit margins, EBIT and EBITDA margins, as well as return on assets and price-to-earnings ratio, are examined, which show the profitability and valuation of each sector.

Despite the depth of information presented in this report, the key findings are easily accessible. The study helps with investing decisions, market analyses, and competitor benchmarking.
