What is the Z-score?
- In 1968 Edward Altman developed the Z-Score, to assess a business’s financial health and to predict the likelihood of financial distress. The Z-score use 5 popular financial ratios and coefficients to describe the likelihood that a business will experience financial distress within 1 year of the financial results used;
- The Z-scores have gained acceptance by auditors, management accountants and courts;
- Today this internationally accepted model is used in database systems for loan evaluation. The Z-score has an accuracy of approximately 85% and works best for manufacturing companies, but has limited use in evaluating financials in property companies;
- Privately held manufacturing companies with a Z-score of more than 3 is classified as being in good shape and the likelihood of financial distress within the next year is considered slim;
- Similarly, a Z-score of below 1.8 indicates that a company is likely to face financial distress within one year or less;
