OCZ Technology Group  (FRA:OADA) ROIC % Explanation

ROIC % measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested in its business. It is also called ROC %. The reason book values of debt and equity are used is because the book values are the capital the company received when issuing the debt or receiving the equity investments.

There are four key components to this definition. The first is the use of operating income or EBIT rather than net income in the numerator. The second is the tax adjustment to this operating income or EBIT, computed as a hypothetical tax based on an effective or marginal tax rate. The third is the use of book values for invested capital, rather than market values. The final is the timing difference; the capital invested is from the end of the prior year whereas the operating income or EBIT is the current year's number.

Why is ROIC % important?

Because it costs money to raise capital. A firm that generates higher returns on investment than it costs the company to raise the capital needed for that investment is earning excess returns. A firm that expects to continue generating positive excess returns on new investments in the future will see its value increase as growth increases, whereas a firm that earns returns that do not match up to its cost of capital will destroy value as it grows.

As of today, OCZ Technology Group's WACC % is 0.00%. OCZ Technology Group's ROIC % is 0.00% (calculated using TTM income statement data).


Be Aware

Like ROE % and ROA %, ROIC % is calculated with only 12 months of data. Fluctuations in the company's earnings or business cycles can affect the ratio drastically. It is important to look at the ratio from a long term perspective.

Traded in Other Exchanges
N/A
Address
OCZ Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation was formed in 2002. The Company is a provider of high performance solid state drives (SSDs) and memory modules for computing devices and systems. It develops flexible and customizable component solutions quickly and efficiently to meet the ever changing market needs and provide superior customer service. Historically, it mainly sold high performance memory modules to individual computing enthusiasts through catalog and online retail channels. However, SSDs have emerged as a strong market alternative to conventional disk drive technology and SSDs are rooted in much of the same basic technological concepts as its legacy memory module business. Today, as part of a diversification strategy which began in fiscal year 2009, its product mix is significantly more weighted toward the sale of SSDs and the SSD product line has become central to its business. As a result, its target customers are increasingly enterprises and original equipment manufacturers (or OEMs). It designs, develops, manufactures and distributes high performance components for computing devices and systems, including SSDs, other flash memory storage, memory modules, thermal management solutions and PSUs. Its ten largest customers are Amazon.com; ASK Corporation; BAS Group; D&H Distribution Company; Maxcom Memory GmbH; Memoryworld GmbH & Co., KG; Micro Center Corporation; Micro Peripherals LTD; NewEgg.com, operated by Magnell Associate Inc.; and SYX Distribution, Inc.
