Benchmarks for SG&A spending are hard to find. Averages may be available but are generally too broad to be useful. Within SG&A Benchmarks, the sector summary charts provide side by side comparison of annual median values for each industry within the sector for 2023-2025 as well as a chart of 10%ile, median and 90%ile values of SG&A to Sales ratio by industry to illustrate the range of values reported by firms within each industry. To account for SG&A spending practices varying by size of revenues, individual companies are grouped based on fiscal 2025 sales. The detailed tables for each of the individual industries are presented with the companies in three groups as defined by sales of less than $100 million, sales between $100 million and $1 billion, and sales of more than $1 billion. The information presented for each company includes: fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 SG&A as a percentage of sales, annual percentage growth rate in SG&A spending and in sales, total sales for fiscal 2025 and headquarters location. Comparing the growth rate of SG&A expenses and sales gives a snapshot of where the profitability of the firm may be heading.
