RMA Annual Statement Studies -- Financial Ratio Benchmarks

This resource is only available in print.  There is no online version of this annual collection of business ratio data.

  • RMA ANNUAL STATMENT STUDIES  - offers 5 years of aggregated numerical data through over 40 sets of business ratios, covering both private & public firms in the United States, clustered by NAICS/SIC codes covering hundreds of different industries.  Within each year,'s volume ratios are separately presented by the cross points for Upper quartile, Median quartile and Lower quartile.  There is no mention within RMA Annual Statement Studies of any company names, and no textual analysis of this data.  The data is compiled anonymously from the volunteer efforts of over 100 banks in the USA that belong to the RMA ("Risk Management Association"  which was previously named the "Robert Morris Association" offering educational services to lending and credit risk professionals).  Thousands of financial statements drive this statistical report which comes from companies that have borrowing relationships with banks that belong to the RMA.   Within each SIC/NAICS code cluster, you can locate over 40 statistics for the past five years. The same set of statistics are also presented within each industrial category with up to six size rankings by Total Assets and six size rankings by Total Sales.
