Quarterly Independent Performance Report

The Quarterly Independent Performance Report—produced in partnership with The Farnsworth Group—is a quarterly benchmarking tool for the independent channel. Retailers share performance metrics in key operational areas and the data is aggregated to create an in-the-moment measure of the industry.

To be sure you’re operating at the highest potential, there are several key performance indicators to track. Every quarter, the index asks independent home improvement retailers to share year-over-year changes in:

Transaction count and size

Inventory investment

Cost of goods

Profit margin dollars

Future operational investments
