Each year The Plain Dealer honors the top 100 performing publicly traded companies with headquarters in Ohio, ranking companies by several measures of performance and size such as last year's revenues, and three-year measurements of revenue and net income growth, as well as total shareholder return, return on average equity, and other key performance indicators. "It is an honor to be recognized among the best," commented Robert E. Evans, Peoples Bancorp's Chairman and CEO.
