Quantifiable

"Success in my business is quantifiable and backing highly effective CEOs in our portfolio companies has been the key. There is not doubt in my mind that this book hits the nail on the head.

In this sentence, what is 'quantifiable?' Does it mean success can be assessed by numbers (for example, sales amount or annual salary or so)? And does 'portfolio companies' mean investment companies?

Thanks in advance!
