What is Asset Turnover?
The Asset Turnover Ratio measures the value of a company's sales or revenues relative to the value of its assets. The ratio can be used as an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is using its assets to generate revenue. A higher ratio is always more favorable, as it implies the company is generating more revenue per dollar of assets owned.
- Efficiency Indicator: If your ratio is 0.5, you are generating $0.50 for every $1 you've invested in assets. If it's 2.0, you're generating $2 for every $1.
- Industry Comparison: Retailers usually have high asset turnover (lots of sales, fewer fixed assets), while utility companies have low turnover (huge infrastructure, steady revenue).
- Operational Strategy: You can improve this ratio by either increasing sales or by selling off underused assets (like old machinery or excess inventory).
What assets should I include? +
You should include "Total Assets," which means everything: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Equipment, and Real Estate.
Why use Average Total Assets? +
Asset values change throughout the year. Using the average of the beginning and ending balance provides a more accurate picture of the assets available during the sales period.
Is a low ratio always bad? +
Not necessarily. If you just bought a lot of new equipment to scale production, your assets will spike before the new sales come in, temporarily lowering your ratio.
