Numbers-beating?

Hi,

What does "numbers-beating" mean in the below sentence?
By the numbers, there really isn’t a lot of hope for these companies! But this is a numbers-beating company.

Thanks

I'm not sure on this one. I think he wants to say that this company always breaks expectations and make profits when none expects it to do so! I am right?

From the limited context shown, I'd say a numbers-beating company is a company that performs better than the mathematical calculations usually predict.
