Size
This is measured using the company’s turnover for the year being ranked. Turnover for a bank is measured by its gross interest income plus commissions and fees, while turnover for an insurance company is measured by net premium earned plus investment income.
Profitability
A universally accepted measure of profitability is the Return on Equity (ROE). This indicates the return that management has created for the shareholders of the company. It is measured by calculating the 3–year average ROE for the companies.
Growth
This gives recognition to companies that are growing at impressive rates. Such companies are usually growing because of excellence in product development, marketing, and effective management. This is measured using the 3-year compounded annual growth rate of turnover over the period two years before the year being ranked to the year being ranked.
Ranking Process/Methodology
Determining the overall ranking of a company is based on the following methodology:
A weighted rank is calculated by summing up the weights to a company’s rank on each parameter i.e.
Size
Profitability
Growth
An overall rank of a company in the GC100 is then obtained from a company’s weighted average obtained.
All ties in ranking are eliminated using growth as a tie breaker.
