普华永道公司(Pricewaterhouse Coopers)是国际著名会计师事务所,多年来它对全球林产和造纸工业进行财务分析,最近它公布了2002年的调查结果。报告指出,2002年仍然是全球林产和造纸工业困难的一年,增长停滞、经济不稳定和供大于求都继续妨碍工业的运行。在普华永道调查报告公布的100强企业,2002年总销售额为3007亿美元,基本和2001年持平(3015亿美元)。受价格下降的影响,2002年营业利润为216亿美元,比2001年248亿美元下降了13％;2002年净收益为31亿美元,比2001年的62亿美元下降50％。
PricewaterhouseCoopers, a leading international accounting firm, has for many years conducted a financial analysis of the global forest and paper industry, and recently released its findings for 2002. The report pointed out that in 2002 it remained a difficult year for the global forest and paper industry. Growth stagnation, economic instability and oversupply continued to impede the operation of the industry. The top 100 companies announced in the PwC survey report reported total sales of 300.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2002, essentially the same as in 2001 (301.5 billion U.S. dollars). Affected by falling prices, operating profit in 2002 was $ 21.6 billion, a 13% decrease from $ 24.8 billion in 2001; net income for 2002 was $ 3.1 billion, a 50% decrease from $ 6.2 billion in 2001.
