Net Charge-Off Ratio:
A close cousin of the NPL ratio, the NCO ratio measures
what happens after loans actually default, triggering a
bank’s obligation to charge the loans off against its capital.
Because this metric factors in the recovery of collateral, a
bank’s NCO ratio should be smaller than its NPL ratio. If not,
the bank probably isn’t focusing enough on collections.
