Industry Benchmarks and Key Performance Indicators

Understanding industry benchmarks and KPIs are crucial for success in the importing and wholesale sector.

Key Metrics We Monitor:

Inventory Turnover Ratio

Optimize inventory management, aiming for a ratio of 5-10 times per year. Calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory. Higher ratios mean better inventory management.

Gross Profit Margin

Maintain healthy profit margins, typically 20-40% for wholesale businesses. Calculated by dividing (revenue minus cost of goods sold) by revenue. Higher margins mean more profit.

Accounts Receivable Turnover

Enhance cash flow with a turnover ratio of 6-12 times per year. Calculated by dividing net credit sales by average accounts receivable. Higher ratios mean quicker collections.

Debt to Equity Ratio

Maintain a balanced ratio, typically 1-2 for the industry. Calculated by dividing total debt by total equity. Lower ratios mean less reliance on debt.

Operating Margin

Target an operating margin of 5-10% to ensure profitability and efficiency. Calculated by dividing operating income by revenue. Higher margins mean better efficiency.
