Ratio calculation methodology
Price — earnings ratio, P/E
P/E = Current share price (1) / Earnings per share (2).
Price — sales ratio, P/S
P/S = Current share price (1) / Sales per share (2).
Price — book value ratio, P/BV = Current share price (1) / Book value per share (2).
Enterprise value — EBITDA, EV/EBITDA ratio
EV/EBITDA = Enterprise value / EBITDA (2), where
EV = capitalization (1) + net debt.
Net debt = long-term liabilities + short-term financial liabilities – cash and equivalents.
EBITDA = Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization.
Return on assets, ROA
ROA = Net profit (2) / Total assets at the end of the last accounting period.
Return on equity, ROE
ROE = (2) Net profit / Shareholders’ equity at the end of the last accounting period.
