Economic Value-Added (EVA) is a financial performance metric that calculates the true economic profit of a company. It is determined by subtracting the company’s cost of capital from its net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT). EVA provides insight into whether a company is generating value above and beyond the cost of financing its capital.
