Hide this widget

The Beneish M-Score statistical score that uses financial ratios to identify whether a company has manipulated its earnings. CoStar’s Beneish M-Score of −2.58 implies the company is not a likely earnings manipulator.

The Beneish M-Score outlines eight financial ratios required to calculate the score:

1) Days Sales in Receivables Index (DSRI)

DSRI = (Net Receivablest / Salest) / (Net Receivablest-1 / Salest-1)

2) Gross Margin Index (GMI)

GMI = [(Salest-1 - COGSt-1) / Salest-1] / [(Salest - COGSt) / Salest]

3) Asset Quality Index (AQI)

AQI = [(Total Assets - Current Assetst - PP&Et) / Total Assetst] / [(Total Assets - Current Assetst-1 - PP&Et-1) / Total Assetst-1]

4) Sales Growth Index (SGI)

SGI = Salest / Salest-1

5) Depreciation Index (DEPI)

DEPI = (Depreciationt-1/ (PP&Et-1 + Depreciationt-1)) / (Depreciationt / (PP&Et + Depreciationt))

6) Sales General and Administrative Expenses Index (SGAI)

SGAI = (SG&A Expenset / Salest) / (SG&A Expenset-1 / Salest-1)

7) Leverage Index (LVGI)

LVGI = [(Current Liabilitiest + Total Long Term Debtt) / Total Assetst] / [(Current Liabilitiest-1 + Total Long Term Debtt-1) / Total Assetst-1]

8) Total Accruals to Total Assets (TATA)

TATA = (Income from Continuing Operationst - Cash Flows from Operationst) / Total Assetst

After computing the eight variables outlined above, they can be weighted together using the following multivariate model to calculate the score:

Beneish M-Score =
-4.84
(+) 0.92 × DSRI
(+) 0.528 × GMI
(+) 0.404 × AQI
(+) 0.892 × SGI
