HOW COMPANIES ARE CLASSIFIED

Industry classification

Companies are classified across three layers, sector, industry and NACE code, so screening can move from a broad grouping down to a precise activity match. The database carries 21 sectors and 130+ industries, resolving further into 1,000+ distinct NACE codes.

48,000+ companies carry a primary NACE code, linked through 140,000+ company–NACE relationships in total, an average of 3 NACE codes per company.

Three company forms, three statement structures

Industrial, banking and insurance companies do not report against the same line items, so the database keeps three separate statement structures rather than forcing one template onto all of them.

Industrial

43,000+Companies

210+ Statement line items

Banking

4,500+Companies

180+ Statement line items

Insurance

Serious benchmarking never applies one template to fundamentally different business models.

HOW FAR THE HISTORY GOES

Financial depth

Financial history spans 36 fiscal years of reported data, reaching back to FY1990.

45,000+Companies with annual financials
42,000+Five years or more
33,000+Ten years or more
17Median years per company

BEYOND THE HEADLINE NUMBERS

Segment data

The database holds 3,000,000+ segment rows across 42,000+ companies, split between 42,000+ companies with business segments and 42,000+ companies with regional segments, reaching back to FY1988.

Why segments matter for comparability

  • A company description alone is rarely enough to conclude that two businesses are truly comparable.
  • Segment data shows the real shape of revenue and the actual scope of operations behind that description.
  • That level of detail supports closer screening for Transfer Pricing benchmarking and valuation work that cannot rely on a surface-level match.
