Economic Value Added

Economic value added is an estimate of a firm's economic profit, or the value created in excess of the required return of the company's shareholders. Economic value added is the net profit less the equity cost of the firm's capital.

Economic value added equals the difference between net operating profit after taxes and the product of capital employed and the weighted average cost of capital.
