what to chose Consolidated or Standalone?

Hi friends,

I have a basic doubt regarding a peer analysis. I need to analyse a company which has significant subsidiaries with " manufacturing units" outside the home country and significant revenue from them.

Two of its competitor are exporting but they have almost equal standalone and consolidated revenues while one other competitor has different standalone and consolidated revenue. These competitors are both domestic & exporters but do not have manufacturing outside.

Now I need to do all the revenue, EBITDA and expense comparison along with comparison of indirect expenses which will be the focus of the project for cost reduction which can only be done for the parent company, that's why I am inclined towards standalone but then other companies for comparison should also be stand-alone, but this won't be right comparison. So, should all be consolidated, standalone or mixed analysis. 

Another idea is to show all metrics as consolidated but for indirect expenses focus on standalone only. Any other method used in the industry if you guys can share will be really helpful. Thanks.
