SG&A Benchmarks – Transportation, Communications, Utilities from Schonfeld & Associates, Inc. provides SG&A spending information for 375 publicly traded companies in eight industries within the transportation, communications and utilities sector. Of these companies, 124 are non-U.S. headquartered. SG&A expenses are composed of all the commercial expenses of operation incurred in the regular course of business pertaining to the securing of operating income. Frequently SG&A to Sales ratios are used to judge overhead or cost of sales.

The industry sector summary displays median SG&A to Sales ratio by industry to give an idea of the range of values reported by firms within the sector.

The firms are presented in three groups as defined by sales of less that $100 million, sales between $100 million and $1 billion, and sales of more than $1 billion.

Two sets of industry tabulations are presented. Alphabetical order by company name aids in locating a firm. Order by SG&A to Sales ratio showcases the leaner and meaner firms in each category. Published August 2023.
