The return on net assets (RONA) is a measure of financial performance of a company which takes the use of assets into account.[1][2] Higher RONA means that the company is using its assets and working capital efficiently and effectively.[3] RONA is used by investors to determine how well management is utilizing assets.[4]

Basic formulae

edit
Return on net assets = net income/ (Fixed assets) (working capital)

where

Working capital = (current assets) − (current liabilities)[5]

In a manufacturing sector, this is also calculated as:

Return on net assets = (plant revenue) − costs/ (net assets)
