Q » How is a company's economic value added (EVA) calculated and interpreted?
17 Oct, 2025
A » Economic Value Added (EVA) is calculated by subtracting a company's cost of capital from its net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT). EVA = NOPAT - (Capital Invested × WACC), where WACC is the weighted average cost of capital. This measure evaluates how effectively a company generates profits over its capital cost, interpreting positive EVA as value creation for shareholders, while negative EVA indicates potential inefficiencies in capital usage.
