Introduction
Economic Value Added (EVA) is a financial metric used to measure the value that a company has generated after accounting for all capital costs. It is a more shareholder-focused approach than traditional profitability metrics and helps in determining if a company has created value for its shareholders.
Why Is EVA Important?
Shareholders invest in companies expecting to receive significant returns on their investments as compensation for the risks incurred. EVA measures how much money remaining from profits can be attributed entirely to shareholders, which precisely identifies whether or not a business had made an excellent return on investment.
How Is EVA Calculated?
The primary formula for calculating EVA is straightforward:
Economic Value Added = Net Operating Profit After Taxes - Cost of Capital * Total Capital Invested
This means that all essential capital costs are deducted from earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).

Shareholder value refers to everything done with their best interests at heart; it seeks always to create value for owners through sustained growth.
Traditional profitability metrics do not factor any cost of capital while evaluating income statements, balance sheets, or other data sources but focus only on overall profit gains & losses over time without considering residual overhead expenses.
Financial performance refers to making sound and informed decisions based on reliable metrics such as cash reserves & ROI.
