The paper deals with analysis of the forest business sector in Slovakia and the evaluation of profitability and efficiency of forest contractors, with special focus on mountain and lowland regions. Evaluation of profitability was done by using selected indicators of financial analyses for a period of five years. Data envelopment analyses (DEA) was used as non-parametric approach for the assessment of efficiency. The sample size was 153 forest contractors. Data for 2012–2016 were processed. Results of the evaluation show that the profitability of Slovak forest contractors in the mountain regions is higher than the profitability of forest contractors in lowland regions. The results of the efficiency analysis were different due to the nature of the method; where relative efficiency was evaluated, the efficiency of single contractors was compared with the most efficient contractors from the lowland regions. Most of the evaluated units were, according to results of the efficiency analysis scale, ineffective, which implies that it may be beneficial for most contractors to reduce their turnover and thereby increase their relative efficiency. The results of the financial analysis also suggests that contractors have obsolete technical and technological equipment.

斯洛伐克森林承包商的盈利能力和效率—山区和低地地区的比较

本文分析了斯洛伐克的林业企业部门,并评估了森林承包商的盈利能力和效率,特别侧重于山区和低地地区。通过使用选定的财务分析指标进行为期五年的盈利能力评估。数据包络分析(DEA)被用作评估效率的非参数方法。样本数量为153个森林承包商。处理了2012-2016年的数据。评价结果表明,斯洛伐克森林承包商在山区的利润要高于低地森林承包商的利润。由于该方法的性质,效率分析的结果有所不同。在评估相对效率的地方,将单个承包商的效率与低地地区最高效的承包商进行了比较。根据效率分析量表的结果,大多数评估单位无效,这意味着对大多数承包商而言,减少其周转率从而提高其相对效率可能是有益的。财务分析的结果还表明,承包商拥有过时的技术设备。
