Return on Investment (ROI)

Return on Investment ratio, measures of a company's profitability equal to the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the average ordinary and preferred capital plus long-term debt. ROI measures how effectively the firm uses its capital to generate profit; the higher the ROI, the better. The formula is the following:

= [attributable profit / average (ordinary capital & reserves + prefs & minorities + creditors,long + creditors,other + subordinated loans + insurance funds)] * 100

= [attributable profit / average (long-term capital + equity)] * 100
