Article takes into account that vertical integration of enterprises affects change of their financial performance and economic security. On example of international vertically integrated holding Metinvest B.V. main results from acquisition of 50% of shares of metallurgical plant “Zaporizhstal” were demonstrated. Positive impact of change in pre-tax profit indicator and quantitative improvement of level of economic security of all participants in integration has been revealed. Obtained results allowed to form classification of management decisions on basis of impact on change of economic security of enterprise.
