The LMD 100 has been compiled from information contained in the annual reports of listed companies and CSE Daily Report at 31 March 2021. Its principal ranking is based on revenue. Consolidated data for company financial years ended between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021 has been utilised for this purpose. Accordingly, comparative information relates to their previous (2019/20) financial years but not including restated data – prior year rankings are not restated either. Respective company year ends (e.g. D – December; M – March) are denoted in the table above. The term Revenue is used for all companies – for entities in the financial services industry, revenue refers to income. Revenue excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties (e.g. excise taxes, duties and levies). Profit After Tax includes results from restructuring, acquisitions, and divestments of group investments and discontinued operations. Total Assets comprises both non-current and current assets.
(Continued) Shareholders’ Funds consists of total equity attributable to equity holders. Market Capitalisation is the total market value of voting shares. It is based on values at the end of the LMD 100 financial year (i.e. 31 March 2021). Chairman includes Chairwomen, Chairpersons or Acting Chairpersons (or Deputy Chairpersons where there are no Chairpersons) if any. Chief Executive includes Deputy Chairpersons, Executive Chairpersons, Managing Directors, Chief Executive Officers, Acting Chief Executive Officers or General Managers. Share Profiles are based on values, ratios and yields at the end of the LMD 100 financial year (i.e. 31 March 2021). Ranking methodology only annual reports that were submitted to the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) by the stipulated deadline (i.e. 30 September 2021) have been utilised for ranking purposes. Note that the official deadline for submission of annual reports was extended from 31 August to 30 September 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
