About Natural Resource Partners L.P.

Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NRP) is engaged in the ownership, management, and leasing of a diverse portfolio of mineral assets across the United States. The company's operations are structured into two primary segments: Mineral Rights and Soda Ash. Its holdings encompass interests in various natural resources, including coal, soda ash, and trona. Key coal reserves are strategically located in the Appalachian, Illinois, and Northern Powder River Basins, while industrial minerals and aggregates are distributed throughout the U.S. Oil and gas properties are situated in Louisiana, and timber assets are found in West Virginia.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) Formula & Definition

ROIC = NOPAT / Invested Capital, where NOPAT = Operating Income × (1 − effective tax rate) and Invested Capital = Total Assets − (Current Liabilities − Short-Term Debt)

Return on invested capital measures the after-tax operating return a company earns on the capital invested in the business. TGMCharts computes it from reported statements: trailing-twelve-month operating income after tax, over invested capital at the latest balance sheet — total assets less the non-interest-bearing current liabilities (payables, accruals, deferred revenue) that fund them; short-term debt stays in the capital base. The tax rate is the period's own effective rate (income tax ÷ pretax income), capped at 45%; when pretax income is zero or negative, or the tax line is a net benefit, no tax is deducted — the operating figure is shown untaxed rather than adjusted by an assumed rate. Not shown for banks, insurers or funds.
