Abstract: This paper focuses on analyzing the relationship between the financial performance of companies and their ability to utilize modern business methods. Financial analysis was conducted using the example of the automobile manufacturer Škoda Auto, with the results providing deeper insights into the company’s financial situation. The companies examined in this study were scored and underwent regression and cluster analyses. A questionnaire focusing on the modernity of advertising in selected companies was answered by 276 respondents. Based on the findings, a model for evaluating the modernity and stability of companies was developed, combining various factors including financial indicators and the adoption of modern technologies. The results indicate that there is a relationship between financial performance and the modernization of companies, although this relationship is not always straightforward. In particular, the operating profit and current ratio emerged as important factors influencing modernization. Overall, it can be concluded that the financial performance and modernization of companies are interconnected, but their relationship is complex and requires further investigation. This paper is an important contribution to understanding company modernization and sets the stage for further studies on this issue.
