Return on Capital Employed
Overview
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is a profitability ratio that measures how efficiently a company
is using its capital to generate profits. The return on capital employed is considered one of the
best profitability ratios and is commonly used by investors to determine whether a company is
suitable to invest in.
Formula
Interpretation
The return on capital employed shows how much operating income is generated for each dollar
invested in capital. A higher ROCE is always more favorable as it implies that more profits are
generated per dollar of capital employed.
As with any other financial ratios, calculating just the ROCE of a company is not enough. Other
profitability ratios such as return on assets, return on invested capital, and return on equity should
be used in conjunction with ROCE to determine whether a company is truly profitable or not.
