  • TTM Net Income / Average Equity (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
  • TTM Net Income / Average Assets (current quarter + same quarter previous year) / 2
  • TTM NOPAT / Average Invested Capital, where NOPAT=Operating Income*(1-tax rate), Invested Capital=Equity+Total Debt-Cash & ST Investments
