ROIC is a financial metric used to assess a company's efficiency in generating profits from its capital investments. It measures the return generated on the capital invested in the business, indicating how well the company is using its capital to generate profits.
A higher ROIC indicates that the company is more efficient at generating profits from its capital. Generally, an ROIC higher than the company's cost of capital is considered good, while an ROIC lower than the cost of capital may indicate poor performance.
If a company has a net income of $100,000, depreciation of $20,000, and total invested capital of $500,000, the ROIC would be calculated as follows:
ROIC = ($100,000 + $20,000) / $500,000 = $120,000 / $500,000 = 0.24 or 24%
