Long-term fi nancial analysis is an important tool for assessing the fi nancial position of a company and/or sector. The aim of the research was to analyze selected fi nancial indicators of the Slovenian wood industry in sub-sectors C16 (wood processing - except furniture) and C31 (manufacture of furniture) for the last 10 years (from 2007-2016). The effi ciency evaluation was performed by DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) window analysis. Other comparisons between two sub-sectors were performed by analysis of time series of fi nancial indicators and by t-test. We have analyzed 40 fi nancial indicators, 15 of which in more detail. Some models, analyzed by DEA method, show relative deterioration in effi ciency in the years 2007-2010, but in most cases effi ciency has increased in recent years. With this, we have proven that the effi ciency of both sub-sectors is improving. For all models, the performance of the sub-sector C16 is better than that of C31. It has been proven by t-test that the difference between these two sub-sectors is statistically signifi cant, as differences of more than half of the fi nancial indicators between the two sub-sectors are statistically signifi cant. Therefore, improvements in profi tability ratios at the company%s level should be done and appropriate measures within the sectoral economic policies should be taken to achieve the conditions needed for greater effi ciency and success.
