Chapter Chapter 3 in Startup Valuation, 2021, pp 47-79 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Startup profitability is a core issue of financial statement analysis and corporate finance. Economic profitability, deriving from positive marginality where revenues exceed costs, is considered in complementary ways. Return on equity (ROE), Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), Return on sales (ROS), and other ratios are systematically illustrated, together with their interactions. Economic Value Added (EVA) represents the value created over the required return of the company’s shareholders, i.e., the net profit less the equity cost of the firm’s capital. Cumulated EVA builds up the Market Value Added (MVA).
