The Iceberg Index©: Uncovering Hidden Corporate Value Beyond Financial Statements
The Iceberg Index©: Uncovering Hidden Corporate Value Beyond Financial Statements
With support from H/Advisors, Eight Advisory – our international arm, presents the inaugural edition of the Iceberg Index© Report, a groundbreaking performance indicator that sheds light on the unseen aspects of corporate value.
What drives corporate worth beyond financial results and how can companies measure the impact of intangible assets?
In today’s competitive and rapidly evolving business environment, it is more important than ever for companies to assess the value of their intangible assets to stay competitive, attractive to investors, and future-ready – particularly during mergers and acquisitions. Traditional methods, focused solely on financial performance, no longer offer a complete picture of a company’s true value.
Iceberg Index© is an innovative and objective tool that helps companies, investors, and stakeholders evaluate intangible value not reflected in standard financial reporting. It offers a new lens on essential non-financial elements such as ESG factors, human capital, intellectual property, technological innovation, regulatory conditions, and brand reputation – each of which can significantly influence a company’s market value, positively or negatively.
This first report edition analyzes over 100 publicly traded companies from the S&P Global 100 and CAC 40 indices. It is structured around eight strategic drivers of value creation, categorized into external (tangible asset model, sector dynamics, industry-specific assets, overall market performance) and internal (growth strategy, business model diversification, governance quality, and financial metrics).
Receive your copy of the Iceberg Index© report by contacting the author of the Index, our Partner Alexis-Karklins Marchay to explore this essential new approach to corporate valuation – designed to sharpen equity stories, boost M&A outcomes, and build stakeholder trust in an era where sustainability, transparency, and non-financial performance are central to long-term success.
