Based on a variety of metrics, the list is compiled annually by Forbes Asia, from a universe of 20,000 publicly traded companies that has an annual revenue of over US$10 million and under US$1 billion in the Asia-Pacific region. The composite score incorporates each’s track record across a series of measures, such as debt, sales and earnings-per-share growth over the recent one-and-three-fiscal-year periods, as well as the average return on equity over the recent one-and-five-fiscal-year periods. Aside from quantitative comparison, qualitative screening was also adopted, as the list excludes companies with notable governance issues, questionable accounting practices, or environmental concerns and misbehaviors. State-owned companies and subsidiaries were also excluded in order to ensure geographical diversity of the eventual winners. The list is unranked, and specifically recognized 200 companies from the region.
