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.
