Trius Therapeutics, (FRA:TEU) ROA % Explanation
ROA % measures the rate of return on the total assets (shareholder equity plus liabilities). It measures a firm's efficiency at generating profits from shareholders' equity plus its liabilities. ROA % shows how well a company uses what it has to generate earnings. ROA %s can vary drastically across industries. Therefore, ROA % should not be used to compare companies in different industries. For retailers, a ROA % of higher than 5% is expected. For example, Wal-Mart (WMT) has a ROA % of about 8% as of 2012. For banks, ROA % is close to their interest spread. A banks ROA % is typically well under 2%.
Similar to ROE, ROA % is affected by profit margins and asset turnover. This can be seen from the Du Pont Formula:
Note:
The Net Income data used here is four times the quarterly (Jun. 2013) net income data. The Revenue data used here is four times the quarterly (Jun. 2013) revenue data.

Be Aware
Like ROE, ROA % is calculated with only 12 months 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. ROA % can be affected by events such as stock buyback or issuance, and by goodwill, a company's tax rate and its interest payment. ROA % may not reflect the true earning power of the assets. A more accurate measurement is ROC % (ROC).
Many analysts argue the higher return the better. Buffett states that really high ROA % may indicate vulnerability in the durability of the competitive advantage.
E.g. Raising $43b to take on KO is impossible, but $1.7b to take on Moody's is. Although Moody's ROA % and underlying economics is far superior to Coca Cola, the durability is far weaker because of lower entry cost.

Trius Therapeutics, (FRA:TEU) Business Description
Trius Therapeutics, Inc., was incorporated in California in June 2004. It is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative antibiotics for serious infections. The Company is developing tedizolid phosphate, a new, novel antibiotic, for the treatment of serious Gram-positive bacterial infections, including those caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Tedizolid phosphate is being developed for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, or ABSSSI, and pneumonia, and potentially for other indications. ABSSSI is the current classification for complicated skin and skin structure infections. In addition, the company is discovering antibiotics for infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria using its structure based discovery platform. In December 2011, it reported top line data from its first Phase 3 clinical trial, the ESTABLISH 1 (TR701-112) study, of the oral dosage form of tedizolid phosphate for the treatment of ABSSSI. All primary and secondary endpoints for the ESTABLISH 1 study were achieved. In December 2012, the company completed enrollment in its second Phase 3 clinical trial, the ESTABLISH 2 (TR701-113) study, of the intravenous to oral transition therapy for the treatment of ABSSSI. Its current development efforts are focused on developing tedizolid phosphate (formerly known as torezolid phosphate), an intravenous, or IV, and oral antibiotic, for the treatment of serious gram-positive bacterial infections, initially for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections and subsequently for other indications, including pneumonia. ABSSSI is a new classification for complicated skin and skin structure infections. Tedizolid phosphate is an IV and orally administered second generation oxazolidinone. Its strategy is to discover and develop a pipeline of antibiotics focused on the treatment of life-threatening infections, consisting of tedizolid phosphate and additional compounds discovered internally using its proprietary discovery platform. The Company employs the services of Albany Molecular Research Incorporated to produce tedizolid phosphate API and Patheon, Inc., or Patheon, to produce the solid oral and sterile IV tedizolid phosphate finished products. It currently employs internal resources and third-party consultants to manage its manufacturing contractors. Its competitors include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. The Company is subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of its products to the extent it choose to sell any products outside of the United States.
