The Iceberg Index©: Revealing Corporate Value Beyond the Financial Statements

What value lies behind the extra-financial performance of companies and their intangible assets?

Today, it is crucial for companies to be able to evaluate this value in order to maintain their attractiveness and ensure their future, especially in the context of transactions. Historically, value estimation was based on economic performance, but this indicator is no longer sufficient to extensively reflect a company’s value and stand out to investors or during mergers and acquisitions.

Designed by Eight Advisory, the Iceberg Index© provides companies, their investors, and all internal and external stakeholders with an objective indicator of intangible value not recognised in traditional financial statements. it provides an additional perspective on the company’s intangible assets, including ESG criteria, talents, patents, regulatory environment, technologies, reputation are part of a company’s assets, that positively or negatively impact its value.

The first edition of the report covers over 100 companies listed on the S&P Global 100 and CAC 40 indices, and is based on eight key value creation factors, both exogenous (tangible asset model, sector performance levers, sector-specific assets, industry performance) and endogenous (growth, diversification, governance, financial performance).
