BatiPerf: a new tool for comparing the financial situation of construction companies

BatiPerf, intended for FFB members, is based on the analysis of essential ratios (profitability rate, margin, capitalization, weight of the wage bill, cash flow level and payment deadlines, etc.) and their evolution over the last five years. It allows you to become familiar with key concepts of financial analysis and to compare yourself with companies of the same size operating in a similar sector.

This tool is based on a database of 22.000 balance sheets on average per year. It is statistically representative of construction companies subject to corporate tax and with a turnover of between €500k and €150m. It is also the basis of BTP Banque's annual study on the financial situation of construction companies.

For Olivier Salleron, president of the FFB: "In a context of crisis in the construction markets and tension for businesses, Batiperf allows craftsmen and entrepreneurs to understand and monitor their financial situation, by comparing themselves to their peers, using simple graphs. It is also a way to anticipate difficulties, and therefore establish strategies to remedy them."

For Stéphanie Malysse, Chairwoman of the Executive Board of BTP Banque: "Thanks to BatiPerf, we are asserting ourselves as a true partner of construction companies and their managers. Our role as bankers and our in-depth knowledge of the market allow us to provide companies with financial management indicators in terms of profitability, financial structure, or payment deadlines, for example. We are proud to have worked towards the completion of BatiPerf alongside the FFB and hope that this tool will become a real management aid for business leaders."
