The right context can change everything. Understanding how your company stacks up against its peers provides an additional layer of insight to complement the FHR Report and can greatly help in guiding your financial management. How does your gross margin compare? How about your leverage?
As a Member of the FHR Exchange, you can access Peer Benchmarking Analysis.
We provide quick access to the standard Peer Benchmark Report, comparing your company to a subset of public peers. However, you can greatly enhance the value of your analysis by customizing your peer group. You can cast a wide net or narrow your focus very specifically, down to a minimum of 5 peer companies.
The tool allows you to customize the peer group based on the following criteria:
Sector (based on 2-, 4-, or 6-digit NAICS codes)
Country
Size (Sales in USD)
Type (public, private, all)
The Peer Benchmark Report shows how the company and the peer group have trended over time and highlights key financial areas that drive the underperformance or outperformance.
Table 1 contains the key comparative data for the FHR, Core Health Score, and simulated FHR.
Table 2 then highlights key ratios.
We also summarize the results for you:
