The financial indicators used in this study were separated in the following groups: struture, solvency, costs, financial returns and growth, whose definitions were extracted from the Austin Asis Consulting Company manual. The t-test, with a 5% level of significance, was used as a analytical framework for the financial performance from one year to the next one.
