CROCI

Cash return on cash invested (CROCI), or cash return on capital invested, is an advanced valuation multiple. This ratio compares a post-tax, pre-interest operating cash flow to gross cash invested by all security-holders and is a useful measure of a company's ability to generate cash returns on its investments.

The ratio is similar to ROE ratio, but CROCI is calculated on a cash basis and on an EV-basis, taking into account all the company's security-holders.

Formula

${\displaystyle {\mbox{CROCI}}={{\mbox{DACF}} \over {\mbox{GCI}}}}$

Where:

• DACF (Debt-adjusted cash flow) = EBITDA*(1-tax rate) + other investment gain after tax
• GCI (Gross cash invested) = Gross tangible and intangible assets before depreciation or write-offs + investments in associates + working capital

Uses

• The (CROCI - WACC) spread is a key measure of shareholder value creation and competitive advantage. If the spread is positive, a company creates value and destroys it otherwise.
• The CROCI/WACC ratio is basically the same metric signaling value creation or destruction. If the ratio is higher than 1, a company creates value, and it destroys value if the ratio is below 1.
