ROIC
Definition

Return On Invested Capital

ACRONYM

 

ROIC is always calculated as a percentage. Invested capital can be in buildings, projects, machinery, other companies etc. One downside of ROIC is that it tells nothing about where the return is being generated. For example, it does not specify whether it is from continuing operations or from a one-time event, such as a gain from foreign currency transactions. 

Term
Return On Invested Capital - ROIC
Definition

A calculation used to assess a company's efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments. The return on invested capital measure gives a sense of how well a company is using its money to generate returns. Comparing a company's ???? with its cost of capital (WACC) reveals whether invested capital was used effectively.

 

Term
Times Interest Earned - TIE
Definition
A metric used to measure a company's ability to meet its debt obligations. It is calculated by taking a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and dividing it by the total interest payable on bonds and other contractual debt. It is usually quoted as a ratio and indicates how many times a company can cover its interest charges on a pretax basis. Failing to meet these obligations could force a company into bankruptcy.
Term

Operating Margin

 Example

Definition
?????? gives analysts an idea of how much a company makes (before interest and taxes) on each dollar of sales. When looking at ??????? to determine the quality of a company, it is best to look at the change in ???????? over time and to compare the company's yearly or quarterly figures to those of its competitors. If a company's ??????? is increasing, it is earning more per dollar of sales. The higher , the better.

For example, if a company has an ?????????? of 12%, this means that it makes $0.12 (before interest and taxes) for every dollar of sales. Often, nonrecurring cash flows, such as cash paid out in a lawsuit settlement, are excluded from the operating margin calculation because they don't represent a company's true operating performance.
Term
Return On Equity - ROE
Definition
A measure of a corporation's profitability that reveals how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.  
Term

ROE

Definition

Return On Equity

acroynm

 

Also known as "return on net worth" (RONW). 

 

The ROE is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same industry.

 

The ROE is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same industry.

There are several variations on the formula that investors may use:

1. Investors wishing to see the return on common equity may modify the formula above by subtracting preferred dividends from net income and subtracting preferred equity from shareholders' equity, giving the following: return on common equity (ROCE) = net income - preferred dividends / common equity.

2. Return on equity may also be calculated by dividing net income by average shareholders' equity. Average shareholders' equity is calculated by adding the shareholders' equity at the beginning of a period to the shareholders' equity at period's end and dividing the result by two.

3. Investors may also calculate the change in ROE for a period by first using the shareholders' equity figure from the beginning of a period as a denominator to determine the beginning ROE. Then, the end-of-period shareholders' equity can be used as the denominator to determine the ending ROE. Calculating both beginning and ending ROEs allows an investor to determine the change in profitability over the period.
