200
Best Under A Billion
The annual Best Under A Billion list spotlights 200 publicly listed small and mid-sized companies in
the Asia-Pacific region with sales under $I billion. These companies have track records of exceptional
corporate performance, with one Covid-to caveat: The list is based on full-year data as of July 7 and
does not fully reflect the impact from the pandemic-led downturn. The companies on this list have
scored above their peers in a composite ranking that includes sales and profit growth, low debt levels
and robust governance. The criteria also ensured a geographic diversity of companies from across the
region. By using metrics both quantitative and qualitative, the final list of 200 is truly a select group

DATA AS OF JULY 7. 2020

METHODOLOGY
This list is meant to identify companies with long-term sustainable performance across a variety of metrics. From a universe of 18,000 publicly
traded companies in the Asia-Pacific region with annual revenue above $10 million and below $1 billion, only these 200 companies made the cut.
The companies on this list, which is unranked, were selected based on a composite score that incorporated their overall track record in measures
such as debt, sales and earnings growth over both the most recent fiscal one- and three-year periods, and the strongest one- and five-year
,, .. average returns on equity. Aside from quantitative criteria. qualitative screens were used as well, such as excluding companies with serious
governance issues, questionable accounting, environmental concerns, management issues or legal troubles. State-controlled and subsidiary
companies were also excluded. The latest available full-year annual results on FactSet as of July 7, 2020, were used for numeric data. All other
research was done by Forbes Asia.
