Abstract

[eng] The Accounts of industrial Firms in 1980: the Relapse - After the recovery of the accounting balance of firms in 1979, the year 1980 was a year of setbacks for industrial corporations. This observation, based on a sampling of income-tax returns concerning profits in industry and business, must naturally take into account exceptions within different sectors. It was the intermediate industries that were the hardest hit, compared with 1979. The firms in this sector were unable to correct the unfavorable trend in the primary distribution of their added value and failed to manage properly their capital reserves, primarily the financing of its accumulation. It seems that the decline in the profitability of professional capital goods was stopped in 1980. Since 1975, financial equilibrium, improved significantly, except for the year immediately preceeding in which the slight increase in long-term indebtedness in-1979and the rapid growth of investments (including financial investments) partially hampered the reorganizing of balance sheets. Lastly, the sector of current consumer goods combined the lowest growth of all industrial sectors over the 1970-1980 period with the best financial results, at least since 1975. Within this sector, profitability on the account books made a significant recovery between the two oil crises, with the effect that, on an average, profits were higher at the end of the decade than at its beginning. [spa] Las cuentas de las empresas industrials en 1980 : La recaida - Tras la recuperación de los resultados contables en 1979, el ano 1980 se senala por un empeoramiento para las sociedades industriales. Esta comprobaciôn, la que se desprende de una muestra de declaraciones fiscales relativas a beneficios industriales y comerciales se ha de matizar según sectores. Con relación a 1979, son las industrias intermediarias las que experimentan los mas agudos trastornos. Las empresas de dicho sector no pudieron enmendar la repartición primaria, la que se verificó desfavorable, de su valor anadido y no dominaron la gestion de su stock de capital, en especial el financiamiento de su acumulación. El deterioro de la rentabilidad en los bienes de equipo profesional parece detenerse en 1980. Desde 1975, el equilibrio financiero fué mejorando sumamente, salvo durante los recientes años pasados en los que el bajo incremento del adeudo largo en 1979 y, al contrario el fuerte empuje de las inversiones (financieras incluso) frenaron en parte este saneamiento de los balances. Finalmente, el sector de bienes de consumo corriente ofrece la particularidad de asociar el más bajo crecimiento industrial con relación al período de 1970-1980 y los más alentadores resultados financieros, cuando menos desde 1975. En efecto, en este sector, la rentabilidad contable se senaló por un despliegue entre dos choques petroleros de manera que, en un promedio, es superior a fines del decenio a lo que fué a principios de dicho período. [fre] Après le redressement des résultats comptables en 1979, l'année 1980 se traduit par une dégradation pour les sociétés industrielles. Ce constat, établi à partir d'un échantillon de déclarations fiscales relatives aux bénéfices industriels et commerciaux, doit être évidemment nuancé selon les secteurs. C'est dans les industries intermédiaires que le bouversement, par rapport à 1979, est le plus intense. Les entreprises de ce secteur n'ont pu corriger le partage primaire, devenu défavorable, de leur valeur ajoutée et n'ont pas maîtrisé la gestion de leur stock de capital, notamment le financement de son accumulation. La dégradation de la rentabilité dans les biens d'équipement professionnel paraît s'arrêter en 1980. Depuis 1975, l'équilibre financier s'est sensiblement amélioré sauf pendant les toutes dernières années où le faible accroissement de l'endettement long en 1979 et, au contraire, la forte poussée des investissements (y compris financiers) ont freiné partiellement cet assainissement des bilans. Enfin, le secteur des biens de consommation courante présente cette particularité d'associer la plus faible croissance parmi l'industrie sur la période 1970-1980 et les meilleurs résultats financiers, du moins depuis 1975. En effet dans ce secteur, la rentabilité comptable s'est fortement redressée entre les deux chocs pétroliers, si bien, qu'en moyenne, elle est supérieure à la fin de la décennie à ce qu'elle était au début.
