2. Introduction
In this report we define the key financial indicators based on web
search data in 2015. For some of the financial indicators were defined
their formulas and calculation examples. In all our calculations we
used the official financial statements of Siemens AG.

3. 1. List of the 5 Key Financial Indicators
Based on the web search data in 2015, we define the 5 key financial
indicators used to measure a company's performance:
1). Net income (net profit, net earnings);
2). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)/ operating income
(operating profit);
3). Gross profit;
4). Current ratio (working capital ratio);
5). Return on investment (ROI).[1]

4. All financial indicators were divided by the three categories.
The first category of financial indicators – profit measures:
– net income (net profit, net earnings);
– earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)/ operating income
(operating profit);
– gross profit.
The second category of financial indicators – profitability ratios:
– return on investment (ROI).
The third category of financial indicators – liquidity ratios:
– current ratio (working capital ratio).[1]

5. 2. Examples of Financial Indicators
Net income (net profit, net earnings)
The formula for calculating net income is:
Net income = TR – TE , (2.1)
where
TR – Total Revenue;
TE – Total Expenses.[1]
Example of calculating. Based on the consolidated statements of
income (D.1)[2]
for the fiscal years ended september 30, 2014 and 2013,
we can calculate the net income for the company Siemens AG (Table
2.1).

6. Table 2.1. The calculation of net income for the company Siemens AG
on the basis of the consolidated statements of income in 2013-2014
(in millions of €) 2014 2013
Revenue 71,920 73,445
Cost of sales (51,165) (53,309)
Research and development expenses (4,065) (4,048)
Selling and general administrative expenses (10,424) (10,869)
Other operating income 656 500
Other operating expenses (194) (424)
Income from investments accounted for using the
equity method, net
582 510
Interest income 1,058 947
Interest expenses (764) (784)
Other financial income (expenses), net (177) (154)
Income tax expenses (2,028) (1,634)
Income from discontinued operations, net of
income taxes
108 231
Net income 5,507 4,409

7. Net income = 71920000 – 51165000 – 4065000 – 10424000 + 656000 –
194000 + 582000 + 1058000 – 764000 – 177000 – 2028000 + 108000 =
€5,507 million.[1]

8. Return on Investment (ROI)
The formula for calculating return on investment is:
ROI = (GFI – CFI) / CFI , (2.2)
where
GFI – Gain from Investment;
CFI – Cost from Investment.[3]
The return on investment may also be calculated by dividing net
income by long-term investments (2.3) or average long-term
investments (2.4):
ROI = NI / LTI = NI / (LTD + TSE) , (2.3)
where

9. NI – Net income;
LTI – Long-term investments;
LTD – Long-term debt;
TSE – Total shareholder equity.
ROI = NI / ALTI = NI / ((LTDBP + LTDEP) / 2 + (SEBP +SEEP) / 2)) , (2.4)
where
NI – Net income;
ALTI – Average long-term investments;
LTDBP – Long-term debt at the beginning of a period;
LTDEP – Long-term debt at the end of a period;
SEBP – Shareholder equity at the beginning of a period;
SEEP – Shareholder equity at the end of a period.[3]

10. Current Ratio (Working Capital Ratio)
The formula for calculating current ratio is:
Current ratio = TCA / TCL , (2.5)
where
TCA – Total current assets;
TCL – Total current liabilities.[3]

In this report we define the 12 most important financial
indicators based on web search data in 2015. All financial
indicators were divided by the six categories: profit measures, cash
flow measures, profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, solvency ratios
and capital market ratios (Chapter 1).
For each of the financial indicators were defined their popularity
in different countries, their formulas and calculation examples
(Chapter 2). In all our calculations we used the official financial
statements of Siemens AG for the fiscal years ended september 30,
2014 and 2013, namely the consolidated statements of income
(D.1), financial position (D.3), cash flows (D.4), changes in equity
(D.5), notes to consolidated financial statements (D.6).
