What is Return On Net Assets. Description
RONA or Return On Net Assets is equal to Net
Operating Profit After Tax divided by: cash plus the working capital requirement
plus the fixed assets. A strong virtue of using RONA compared to traditional
methods for measuring company success is that RONA also considers the assets
which a company uses to achieve its output.
Return On Net Assets compared with EVA
Return on Net Assets is similar to EVA [EVA
= (RONA-WACC) x invested capital].
However using RONA instead of EVA is generally not recommended. The reason
for this is that managers might bypass value-creating activities, because
that might reduce RONA. A risk if RONA is greater than WACC. Or they might
undertake value-destroying activities because that would increase RONA. If
RONA is less than WACC.
Although RONA does not explicitly measure capital charges, it does remind
managers that there is a cost to acquiring and holding assets. But ultimately,
maximizing of EVA should rather be seen as the key to financial success than
maximizing of RONA.
