Profitability ratios includes: • Gross Profit Ratio: Gross Profit / Net sales x 100 • Operating Margin Ratio: Operating Income/ Net sales x 100 (Operating income is the difference between operating revenues and operating expenses)
Net Profit Ratio: Net Profit / Net sales x 100 • Return on Investment (ROI) or Return on Owners’ Equity: Net Income / Shareholders Equity x 100 • Return on Assets (ROA): Net Income / Total Assets x 100 • Return on Capital Employed (ROCE): Net Income Before Interest and Tax / Capital Employed (Shareholders' equity represents the remaining interest in assets of a company, spread among individual shareholders of common or preferred stock) (Capital Employed: Total Assets - Current Liabilities)
(When evaluating investment opportunities, profits are often measured per share) • Earnings Per Share: Net Profit After Tax and Dividends / Shareholder’s Equity • Dividend Yield Ratio: Dividends per Share / Market Value per Share
Profitability: • The higher the better. • Shows how effective the firm is in using its capital to generate profit. • A ROCE of 25% means that it uses every Rs.1 of capital to generate 25paise in profit. • Partly a measure of efficiency in organisation and use of capital.
