Scores

FRISK® score - A proprietary score indicating a company's level of financial stress, based on the probability of bankruptcy over a 12 month horizon.  The FRISK® score incorporates a number of critical risk indicators including: (1) crowdsourced click patterns of credit managers and other subscribers, (2) stock market capitalization and volatility, (3) financial ratios, including those used in the Altman Z”-Score model and (4) Moody’s and Fitch bond ratings.  The FRISK® score is calculated daily with the most recent information in the CreditRiskMonitor database.

Those in need of in-depth details are invited to contact us at info@creditriskmonitor.com for more information.  The FRISK® Score is reported on a 1 to 10 scale:

FRISK® Stress Index - The FRISK® Stress Index shows the collective probability of failure in a group of companies (such as an industry, country or portfolio) over the next 12 months.  It is designed to show trends in risk level across groups of companies and is shown on a zero to 50 scale, with 50 being the most risky. 

 

 

PAYCE Score - A proprietary score designed to predict the level of financial distress for private businesses for which no financial statement information is available.  Like the FRISK® score, the model predicts the risk of bankruptcy over the next 12 months.  The PAYCE Score is a mathematically derived estimate using a business’ past payment behavior and U.S. federal tax liens.  The model was trained on over 670,000 unique businesses and 4,235 bankruptcies, using data between the years 2014 and 2022. 

 

The PAYCE Score is reported on a 1 to 10 scale:

Altman's Z"-Score  The Z"-Score was developed by Dr. Edward I. Altman of New York University in the early-1990's.  This model is applicable to firms in the manufacturing, merchandising and service sectors.  The Z"-Score calculates and combines 4 financial ratios, assigning each a different weighting. 

Although the numbers that go into calculating the Z"-Score (and a company's financial soundness) are sometimes influenced by external factors, it provides a good tool for analyzing the ups and downs of a company's financial stability over time. The score is computed as follows:

EBIT Z" = ------ * 6.72 Total Assets

Total Equity + ----------- * 1.05 Total Liabilities

Working Capital + ------- * 6.56 Total Assets

Retained Earnings + -------- * 3.26 Total Assets

Likelihood of failure
Financially sound:   2.6 or higher
Neutral:   1.1 to 2.6
Fiscal danger:   less than 1.1

Note that the Z"-Score is different than the original Z-score, developed by Altman in the 1960's.  The original Z-Score has as one of its variables the asset turnover ratio.  As this variable is industry sensitive, the Z"-model, which omitted this variable, was developed. 

CreditRiskMonitor computes the Z"-score on a quarterly basis, provided the variables required by the scoring model are reported.  Previously, we used the company's quarterly EBIT in this calculation.  Now we use the company's EBIT for the twelve trailing months, as this provides a result that is less seasonal and less volatile.

One of the 4 variables used to compute Altman's Z"-Score is the ratio of working capital to total assets.  As many of the companies in the energy sector are highly leveraged, they generally have low working capital.  Thus, we have found that their Z"-Scores are adversely impacted and an abnormally high percentage of companies in this sector are in the neutral and fiscal danger ranges.

 

DBT Index - The Days Beyond Terms (DBT) Index is a calculated measurement of the on-time (or late) payment performance of a subject company fitted to a standardized 1-10 scale. 10 is the best performance while 1 is the worst per the following table: The DBT Index is reported on a 1 to 10 scale:

  DBT Index Meaning
Best  10 No Past Due balances
for six consecutive periods
  9   0 -  10 Days Beyond Terms
  8 11 -  20 Days Beyond Terms
  7 21 -  30 Days Beyond Terms
  6 31 -  45 Days Beyond Terms
  5 46 -  60 Days Beyond Terms
  4 61 -  75 Days Beyond Terms
  3 76 -  90 Days Beyond Terms
  2 91 - 105 Days Beyond Terms
Worst   1           106+ Days Beyond Terms

The days-beyond-terms calculation is based on data we collect from (mostly monthly) Trade A/R aging snapshots contributed to the CreditRiskMonitor database. Participation is encouraged, but voluntary. Trade Contributors benefit from our unique proprietary analysis of their trade, which isn't possible to provide non-Contributors, at no additional charge. Contributors also have the ability to improve their "collection effectiveness" because they can tell customers that they report both good and bad payment performance… as well as having the satisfaction of encouraging good behavior and supporting the work of fellow credit professionals.

Our Days-Beyond-Terms calculation is not based on the sale or invoice date, but as the name indicates, is intended to compare how the customer paid versus the terms of sale, which might have been 15 days, 90 days, or whatever else was agreed by the buyer and seller. Our calculation includes a dollar weighting to blend the payment performance of various trade lines in a way that accurately reflects how a company has paid its bills compared to terms, overall, in a specific period.

Using the DBT Index to standardize payment performance enables you to quickly assess and compare the timeliness with which various companies pay their bills, and quickly see the trend of timeliness for a particular company.

Because the DBT Index is based on information as-of a specific reporting month, it provides a more accurate snapshot - and a more accurate trend - of payment performance than systems which use "all most-recent trade lines" in the calculation. The latter method has the advantage of using "more trade lines," but it will blur the payment-performance trends because in any given month it will use lines that were reported as much as 12 or even 18 months earlier… and such a system will often use the same trade experiences for many months in a row, as long as each is "the most recent reported" for a trade line and is not "too old."

The monthly DBT Index is calculated based on the trade lines contributed pertaining to a specific month. The Average DBT Index summarizes all prior months, for a longer-term view. It is a dollar-weighted average of monthly DBT Indexes, and is also weighted to emphasize the more recent months, so that 70% of the monthly weight is on the most recent 6 months.

If your company is a Trade Contributor, the DBT indices are also calculated for your submitted trade lines and then for comparative purposes, calculated for only those trade lines contributed by other Trade Contributors.

Many A/R systems calculate a Days Beyond Terms (DBT) value based on various formulas, typically using dollar weighting. These calculations may yield a DBT value that is different than is reflected in our DBT Index. One reason for a difference may be that the data used in the calculation is for a different period-end-date, such as the end of the calendar month vs. the 15th of that month. Another possible reason would be that the formula is based on invoice-level data contained in internal systems, vs. our calculation based on an aged-trial-balance. Still another possible reason for differences in Days-Beyond-Terms is that the formulas used could be somewhat different (we find that the treatment of credit balances is often different from one system to another.). All methods should show similar trends, in most cases. If you are a Trade Contributor, and find differences, we would be pleased to discuss the sources of differences with you in detail. We do not want to misinterpret your files in any way.

Performance Ratios
Net Sales - The dollar volume of transactions involving company products and services net of returns, allowances and sales discounts.

Gross Profit - The value is computed by deducting cost of goods sold from net sales. Where cost of goods sold represents the cost of materials, labor and factory overhead needed to bring to a marketable state the goods that have been sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Represent costs that are not specifically identifiable with or assigned to production. These include marketing, selling, research and development, and administrative expenses.

Operating Profit - The amount of revenue remaining after all operating expenses subtracted from net sales.

EBITDA - Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense.

EBIT - Earnings before interest and taxes, is a measure of a firm's profit that includes all expenses except interest and income tax expense.

Pre-tax Income - Operating results before income taxes have been deducted.

Net Income - Also called net earnings and net profit. Represents the net operating results of the company for the period.

Tax Expense - The tax requirement estimated by management for the period.

Depreciation Expense - An allowance for wear or age made to the value of a fixed asset, allocating its cost over its estimated useful life.

Capital Expenditures - Represents the purchase of assets whose life expectancy is greater than one year. Examples are plant, property and equipment.

Interest Coverage Ratio - Also known as Times Interest Earned. Measures the number of times profits cover interest charges. Determines the ability of a company to meet current interest charges without impairing normal operations. The value is computed by dividing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by interest expense.

Free Cash Flow - This measure is very useful in assessing a company's financial health because it strips away all the accounting assumptions built into earnings. A company's earnings may be high and growing, but until you look at free cash flow, you don't know if the company has actually generated money in a given year or not. Free cash flows represent real cash, while earnings do not. It is cash from operations (also called operating cash flow) minus capital expenditures, which are investments in property, plant, and equipment. The formula for calculating free cash flow is Operating Cash Flow (OCF) - Capital Expenditures.

Effective Tax Rate - The net rate a taxpayer pays on pre-tax income. It is calculated by dividing the total tax paid by taxable income.


Liquidity Ratios
Current Assets - Are the resources of a company that are constantly changing form or being turned over in the normal course of business. These normally are cash, short-term marketable securities, accounts receivable, and merchandise inventory.

Current Liabilities - Are obligations maturing within one year from the date of the balance sheet. Also included are demand notes which, although carrying no maturity date, any be presented for payment any time at the option of the holder.

Working Capital - Measures a company's ability to pay off current obligations with current assets. The value is computed by subtracting total current liabilities from total current assets. Negative working capital could indicate a liquidity problem.

Cash - Money on deposit or on hand comprises cash. This includes currency, personal and bank checks, drafts and money orders.

Cash Ratio - Also known as the Liquidity Ratio. Measures a company's ability to pay its current bills. The value is computed by dividing cash and short-term marketable securities by total current liabilities.

Quick Assets - Also known as Liquid Assets. Consists of cash, short-term marketable securities and accounts receivable.

Quick Ratio - Also known as the Acid Test Ratio. Measures the number of dollars of liquid assets available to cover each dollar of current liabilities. The value is computed by dividing liquid assets by total current liabilities, where liquid assets is comprised of cash, short-term marketable securities and accounts receivable.

Current Ratio - Measures a company's ability to meet its current obligations (i.e., the degree of protection afforded short-term creditors by current assets). The value is computed by dividing current assets by total current liabilities.

Efficiency Ratios
Accounts Receivable - Amounts customers owe a company from sales of goods or services that the company expects to collect within one year.

Accounts Receivable Turnover (Annualized) - Measures the number of times accounts receivable are collected during the year. This ratio measures the efficiency of credit and collection policies and the quality of outstanding average accounts receivable. The value is computed by dividing sales for the period by average accounts receivable for the period, multiplied by the applicable factor to annualize sales.

Days Sales Outstanding - Represents the average number of days to convert receivables into cash. The value is computed by dividing average accounts receivable for the period by annualized sales for the period, multiplied by 365.

Percent of Inventory Financed by Vendors - Measures the total amount of credit that vendors have extended to finance current inventory level. Computed as accounts payable balance at the end of the period divided by inventory balance at the end of the period, and multiplying the result by 100

Inventory Turnover (Annualized) - Measures how quickly inventory is sold. The value is computed by dividing the cost of goods sold for the period by the average inventory for the period, multiplied by the applicable factor to annualize cost of goods sold.

Number of Days Sales in Inventory - Measures the number of days required to sell the inventory balance at the end of the period. The value is computed by dividing 365 by inventory turnover.

Inventory to Working Capital Ratio - Is an indicator of whether a company can adequately finance its inventory. Ideally, the number should be less than 1. The value is computed by dividing the ending inventory balance by working capital at the end of the period.

Accounts Payable - Money owed to suppliers for purchases on credit.

Accounts Payable Turnover (Annualized) - Measures the number of times accounts payable are paid during the year. The value is computed by dividing cost of sales for the period by average accounts payable for the period, multiplied by the applicable factor to annualize sales.

Cash Conversion Cycle ("CCC") - Measures the time it takes a company to convert its investment in inventory and other resource inputs into cash. The CCC does this by following the cash as it is first converted into inventory and accounts payable, through sales and accounts receivable, and then back into cash. The cash conversion cycle can be viewed as a sales efficiency calculation as it shows how quickly and efficiently a company can buy, sell, and collect on its inventory. Generally, the lower this number is, the better for the company. The value is computed by adding days sales outstanding and days inventory outstanding and then subtracting days payables outstanding.

Leverage & Debt Coverage
Total Debt - Measures the total liabilities of an entity that are evidenced by a written promise to pay. It excludes operating debt because it is a function of the firm's operations and its essential business and contractual relationship to its suppliers rather than external lenders. (NOTE: Many lenders define debt as equal to total liabilities.)

Stockholders' Equity - Measures the ownership equity in a business. The value is computed by subtracting total liabilities from total assets.

Total Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio - Measures a company's leverage or the safety of principal on long-term debt. The larger the ratio, the riskier the enterprise. The value is computed by dividing total debt by total equity minus intangible assets.

Total Assets - The total of all assets owned by a company. These things might be liquid assets such as cash and short-term investments, physical assets such as buildings, trucks, inventories of products and equipment or intangible assets such as goodwill, trademarks and patents

Total Debt to Assets Ratio - Also known as Debt Ratio. Measures the degree of protection from loss afforded the company's creditors by the total assets of the company. The value is computed by dividing total debt by total assets.

Tangible Assets - Computed by subtracting intangible assets from total assets.

Short-Term Debt - Obligations owing to banks or others and payable with the next 12 months.

Short-Term Debt as a Percent of Total Debt - Measures a company's short-term cash obligations by showing the proportion of overall debt coming due in the current year. The value is computed by dividing short-term debt by total debt, and multiplying the result by 100.

Short-Term Debt as a Percent of Working Capital - Measures a company's short-term cash obligations by showing the proportion of overall debt coming due in the current year versus its net current assets. The value is computed by dividing short-term debt by working capital, and multiplying the result by 100.

Total Liabilities - A company's debts to its lender, suppliers of goods and services, taxing authorities and others.

Total Liabilities to Equity Ratio - Measures the degree of protection that exists for creditors. The lower the ratio the better. The value is computed by dividing total liabilities by total equity.

Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth Ratio - (sometimes shortened to "Liabilities to Net Worth Ratio") - Measures the degree of protection that exists for creditors. The lower the ratio the better. The value is computed by dividing total liabilities by total equity minus intangible assets.

Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio (Annualized) - Measures a company's ability to pay off its debts. A lower ratio is a positive indicator that the company has sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The value is computed by dividing total debt by annualized EBITDA.

Obligations
Long-term obligations - Payment obligations under long-term borrowing arrangements, usually owed to banks or bond holders.

Capital lease obligations - Payment obligations under leases classified as being capital leases pursuant to FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #13, for accounting purposes the transaction is viewed as an installment purchase as title typically vests with the lessee at the expiration of the lease.

Operating lease obligations - Off-balance sheet obligations where title does not pass at expiration of lease term, usually for such items as real estate or equipment.

Rate of Return
Return on Equity - A profitability ratio. Measures the after tax return on equity capital. This is an indication of management's performance. The value is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by total equity as of the beginning of the period.

Return on Net Tangible Equity - A profitability ratio. Calculated by dividing a company's net earnings available to common stockholders for the period by total equity less intangible assets (both of these amounts are as of the beginning of the period).

Return on Total Assets - A useful indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. It also gives an idea as to how well the company is able to use its assets to generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a company's earnings for the period by its average total assets. Sometimes this ratio is referred to as "return on investment".

Return on Tangible Assets - A profitability ratio. Calculated by dividing a company's earnings available to common stockholders for the period by its average tangible assets (i.e., total assets less intangible assets).

Auditor Opinions
Unqualified - The Auditor's opinion on the financial statements is given without any reservations. Such an opinion generally consists of 3 paragraphs. The opening paragraph differentiates between the responsibilities of management and the auditor for the financial statements. The next or scope paragraph specifies that their audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). It contains an explanation of an audit and acknowledges that an audit provides only reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. In the last or opinion paragraph, the auditor states that the company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and financial condition of the company for the period audited.

Unqualified with Explanation - Is an Unqualified opinion but includes comments by the auditors on matters they feel are important to the understanding of the financial statements or their audit. May cover one of the following explanatory issues:

  • Uncertainty as to Going Concern - where the auditor concludes that substantial doubt exists about the entity's ability to continue for a reasonable period of time
  • Part of audit was performed by another auditor - where the principal auditor does not accept full responsibility for the opinion on the consolidated financial statements, the opening paragraph is modified to explain the division of responsibility, and the scope and opinion paragraphs contain references to the other auditor
  • Inconsistent application of GAAP - a change to an acceptable accounting principle that has a material effect on comparability
  • Uncertainties exist - such uncertainties or contingencies (e.g., litigation valuation or realization of assets) may require an explanatory paragraph depending on the probability of loss and the ability to make a reasonable estimate
The inability to perform an audit in accordance with GAAS or a material departure from GAAP precludes the auditor from issuing an unqualified opinion.

Qualified - A departure from GAAP or the performance of an incomplete audit due to scope restrictions imposed by the client or by circumstances precludes the Auditor from issuing a non-qualified opinion. In this instance, the Auditor's opinion paragraph will include the appropriate qualifying language.

Disclaimer of Opinion (no opinion) - When a material uncertainty exists and the auditor believes that it so pervasive as to not be adequately communicable by the use of an explanatory emphasis paragraph, the auditor will issue a Disclaimer, stating that they are unable to form an opinion on the financial statements. They will also issue a disclaimer if there is a significant restriction on their audit scope, whether or not client-imposed.

Adverse Opinion - This type of opinion is used when there is an unjustified departure from GAAP, and the effect is major. It is also used for failure to comply with disclosure standards (not affecting the amounts reported in the financial statements).

Unaudited - Financial Statements which have not undergone a detailed Audit examination by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA).


Restatements and Reclassifications
Restated Income Statement - An income statement reporting period is "restated" if net income before extraordinary items, accounting changes and/or discontinued operations changes. Note that most restatements are routine and not the result of error.

Reclassified Income Statement - An income statement reporting period is "reclassified" if net income before extraordinary items, accounting changes and/or discontinued operations remains the same, but the values of other line items within the period change.

Restated Balance Sheet - A balance sheet is "restated" if total assets and total liabilities + stockholders' equity changes. Note that most restatements are routine and not the result of error.

Reclassified Balance Sheet - A balance sheet is "reclassified" if total assets and total liabilities + stockholders' equity remains the same but the values of other line items in these sections change.

Restated Cash Flow - A cash flow reporting period is "restated" if the net change in cash changes or if net income changes. Note that most restatements are routine and not the result of error.

Reclassified Cash Flow - A cash flow reporting period is "reclassified" if the net change in cash remains the same but other line items - excluding net income - in the cash flow statement change.

Superseded Periods - A reporting period may be "superseded" if new financial statements contain information which make previously-issued data obsolete.  For example, because of a decision to dispose of an operation in the 3rd quarter a company will treat this operation as "discontinued" and its 1st and 2nd quarter financials will eventually be restated.  When the company issues its 3rd quarter results it will also generally include a 9-month income statement, thus in this instance the previous 2 quarter's information is "superseded" by the new 9-month statement.

Confidential Financials
When entering confidential financials for a company, you have a choice of using either the set of Detail forms or the Shortcut form, for every period entered.

Detail forms - Use the detail forms to enter any combination of Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flow in a standardized and complete format that allows for a more comprehensive analysis. To generate a score, make sure you enter at least a Balance Sheet and an Income Statement for the same period.

Shortcut form - Use the Shortcut form to enter a select number of key Balance Sheet and Income Statement values that allow for the calculation of Z" and FRISK® scores.


Confidential Financials - No Score?
If you entered confidential financials and no score was calculated, here are some of the most common reasons:

  • Financials were not processed. Make sure you click on "Process Statements" after adding/editing financials. If the "Process Statement" button is not enabled, one or more statements contain errors and are displayed with a "Saved" status.
  • No value entered for "Retained Earnings/Accum. Deficit". Enter 0 if the company has no Retained Earnings or Accumulated Deficit.
  • If using the detail forms, make sure you entered at least a Balance Sheet and an Income Statement for the same period.
  • If using the detail forms, make sure there is no Date or Currency mismatch between the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement.


Requests to Add a Company

CreditRiskMonitor adds companies, on request, when users of the Confidential Financial Statement tool fail to find a specific subject company in the CreditRiskMonitor database.

The goal is to verify and add new companies to the database so that users can attach a confidential financial statement to the company record.

Please use the "Send Inquiry" menu item in the Lookup section of the website, select "I want to enter confidential financials for a business I can't find in your database" and provide as much information as possible. This will help us to respond more quickly.

Our process includes:

  1. Checking to see if the company is already in the CreditRiskMonitor database. We may reply with a suggested company name and other details, if we think we have found it.
  2. Searching for the company's website, with the objective of creating a new company record including as much of the following as may be available:
    1. Business Name and HQ address
    2. Phone and Fax numbers
    3. A brief business description
    4. Industry classifications such as Sector, Industry, SIC and NAICS codes
    5. URLs for websites
    6. Branch locations, parent and subsidiary corporate family tree relationships

  3. If a website is not found, we will consult other reference sources for this information
  4. If all fails, we will attempt to contact the company by telephone
  5. We will contact you at the conclusion of the process, by email

Note that all of the above relates only to business identification. CreditRiskMonitor does not perform "on-demand credit investigations." All CreditRiskMonitor reports are produced immediately from our data files.

Credit Limit Ranges

The purpose of the "Credit Limit Ranges" is to help rank a requested credit limit value against a distribution of relevant credit limits.  The distribution of relevant credit limits is determined in two ways:

  1. It uses all the reported high credits for the subject business in the past 12 months
  2. It incorporates all the reported high credits for businesses like the subject business in the past 12 months.
Similarity is determined using three criteria:
  • Similar businesses must share the same sector as the subject business
  • Similar businesses have the closest risk scores to the subject
  • Similar businesses have the closest size to the subject
A credit limit below the Median value for the subject business indicates that most credit lines are larger than the amount considered.  If the risk score indicates low risk, then the considered amount is a safe limit.  A credit limit near the "Very High" amount indicates that most credit lines extended are well below the considered amount and suggests more due diligence is needed.
