A rendibilidade das empresas, medida pelo rácio entre os resultados antes de amortizações, depreciações, juros e impostos (EBITDA) e o total do ativo, aumentou pelo nono trimestre consecutivo, fixando-se em 9,4% no primeiro trimestre de 2023.
\n\n
Nas empresas privadas, a rendibilidade do ativo aumentou em todos os setores de atividade relativamente ao primeiro trimestre do ano anterior, com exceção da construção. Os setores que mais contribuíram para este aumento foram os transportes e armazenagem (+3,2 pp), a eletricidade (+3,1 pp) e o comércio (+2,3 pp).
\n\n
Variações face ao período homólogo (em pp)
\n\nPor classe de dimensão das empresas privadas (exclui sedes sociais), a rendibilidade aumentou relativamente ao período homólogo nas micro, pequenas e médias empresas (PME), de 8,0% para 8,6%, e nas grandes empresas, de 9,3% para 12,0%.
\n\n
\n
No primeiro trimestre de 2023, o peso dos financiamentos obtidos no total do ativo baixou para 29,3% (tinha sido 32,0% no período homólogo). Para esta redução contribuíram, principalmente, os empréstimos contraídos junto do setor financeiro e os obtidos junto de empresas do grupo. Esta diminuição foi transversal a todos os setores de atividade e a todas as classes de dimensão das empresas.
\nEm sentido contrário, a autonomia financeira das empresas, medida pelo peso do capital próprio no total do ativo, continuou a aumentar, atingindo 42,6% no primeiro trimestre de 2023. Esta evolução refletiu a retenção dos resultados gerados pelas empresas. O aumento deste indicador foi mais expressivo nos dois últimos trimestres.
\n\n
O aumento da autonomia financeira das empresas privadas foi transversal a todos os setores de atividade e mais expressivo nas PME (subiu de 40,5% no primeiro trimestre de 2022, para 43,2% no primeiro trimestre de 2023) do que nas grandes empresas (passou de 34,8% para 36,0%). A autonomia financeira das empresas públicas cresceu de 32,2% para 35,6%.

\n
O custo dos financiamentos obtidos aumentou pelo terceiro trimestre consecutivo (passou de 2,7% no segundo trimestre de 2022 para 3,3%), reflexo do contexto de subida das taxas de juro que se iniciou em julho de 2022.
\nEm sentido contrário, a cobertura de gastos de financiamento das empresas (que quantifica o número de vezes que o EBITDA gerado pelas empresas é superior aos seus gastos de financiamento) reduziu-se pelo segundo trimestre consecutivo (passou de 10,1 no terceiro trimestre de 2022 para 9,4 no primeiro trimestre de 2023).

"},"EN":{"title":"Statistics on corporations in the Central Balance-Sheet Database: statistical press release – first quarter of 2023","lead":"Today, Banco de Portugal publishes statistics on corporations from the central balance-sheet database, for the first quarter of 2023.","body":"Highlights:
\n• Corporations’ return on assets increased by the ninth consecutive quarter, standing at 9.4% in the first quarter of 2023;
\n• Corporations’ capital ratio continued to increase, reaching 42.6% in the first quarter of 2023.
\nNote: In this statistical press release, the calculation of quarterly indicators, such as return on assets, is based on the average of the last four quarters, for the balance-sheet variables, and the sum of the last four quarters, in the case of income statement variables. To calculate the financing structure, which includes, for example, the capital ratio, the end of the quarter balance-sheets are considered.
\n\n
\n
Corporations’ return on assets, measured by the ratio between earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and total assets, increased by the ninth consecutive quarter, reaching 9.4% in the first quarter of 2023.
\n\n
Regarding the private corporations, the return on assets increased in all sectors of activity, in comparison to the first quarter of the previous year, except for the construction sector.
