IBISWorld Glossary
BARRIERS TO ENTRY Barriers to entry can be High,
Medium or Low. High means new companies struggle to
enter an industry, while Low means it is easy for a firm
to enter an industry.
CAPITAL/LABOR INTENSITY An indicator of how much
capital is used in production as opposed to labor. Level is
stated as High, Medium or Low. High is a ratio of less
than $3 of wage costs for every $1 of depreciation;
Medium is $3 – $8 of wage costs to $1 of depreciation;
Low is greater than $8 of wage costs for every $1 of
depreciation.
CONSTANT PRICES The dollar figures in the Key
Statistics table, including forecasts, are adjusted for
inflation using 2012 as the base year. This removes the
impact of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar,
leaving only the ‘real’ growth or decline in industry
metrics. The inflation adjustments in IBISWorld’s
reports are made using the US Bureau of Economic
Analysis’ implicit GDP price deflator.
DOMESTIC DEMAND The use of goods and services
within the US; the sum of imports and domestic
production minus exports.
EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAX (EBIT)
IBISWorld uses EBIT as an indicator of a company’s
profitability. It is calculated as revenue minus expenses,
excluding tax and interest.
EMPLOYMENT The number of working proprietors,
partners, permanent, part-time, temporary and casual
employees, and managerial and executive employees.
ENTERPRISE A division that is separately managed and
keeps management accounts. The most relevant
measure of the number of firms in an industry.
ESTABLISHMENT The smallest type of accounting unit
within an Enterprise; usually consists of one or more
locations in a state or territory of the country in which it
operates.
EXPORTS The total sales and transfers of goods
produced by an industry that are exported.
IMPORTS The value of goods and services imported
with the amount payable to non-residents.
INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION IBISWorld bases
concentration on the top four firms. Concentration is
identified as High, Medium or Low. High means the top
four players account for over 70% of revenue; Medium
is 40 –70% of revenue; Low is less than 40%.
INDUSTRY REVENUE The total sales revenue of the
industry, including sales (exclusive of excise and sales
tax) of goods and services; plus transfers to other firms
of the same business; plus subsidies on production; plus
all other operating income from outside the firm (such
as commission income, repair and service income, and
rent, leasing and hiring income); plus capital work done
by rental or lease. Receipts from interest royalties,
dividends and the sale of fixed tangible assets are
excluded.
INDUSTRY VALUE ADDED The market value of goods
and services produced by an industry minus the cost of
goods and services used in the production process,
which leaves the gross product of the industry (also
called its Value Added).
INTERNATIONAL TRADE The level is determined by:
Exports/Revenue: Low is 0 –5%; Medium is 5 –20%;
High is over 20%. Imports/Domestic Demand: Low is
0 –5%; Medium is 5 –35%; and High is over 35%.
LIFE CYCLE All industries go through periods of Growth,
Maturity and Decline. An average life cycle lasts 70
years. Maturity is the longest stage at 40 years with
Growth and Decline at 15 years each.
NON-EMPLOYING ESTABLISHMENT Businesses with
no paid employment and payroll are known as
non-employing establishments. These are mostly set-up
by self employed individuals.
VOLATILITY The level of volatility is determined by the
percentage change in revenue over the past five years.
Volatility levels: Very High is greater than ±20%; High
Volatility is between ±10% and ±20%; Moderate
Volatility is between ±3% and ±10%; and Low Volatility
is less than ±3%.
WAGES The gross total wages and salaries of all
employees of the establishment.
