PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

Economic Value Added (EVA ⁽™⁾)

• EVA extends the traditional residual income measure by

incorporating adjustments for distortions introduced by accounting
standards.

• EVA is a financial performance measure that comes closer than any
other to capturing the true economic profit of an enterprise – it
focuses on the maximization of shareholder wealth and the long

term net present value.

Formula:

EVA = Adjusted NOPAT– (Adjusted controllable investment x divisional

WACC)

A positive EVA indicates that wealth has been created.

A negative EVA indicates that wealth has been destroyed.
