2 15
Glossary (continued)
• Gross profit: Amount left when the costs of products and services are subtracted from the revenues.
• Inventories: Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods to be sold.
• Liabilities: What a business owes to others, such as accounts payable, income taxes payable, and
long- and short-term debt.
• Margin: One of the three economic drivers, it is a percentage (so multiply by 100). The formula is
• Margin = (Revenues - Costs) / Revenues Margin reflects operational efficiency. Grocery
stores have very low margins (about one percent), whereas credit card companies have higher
margins.
• Market economic profit (%): Average economic profit percentage. Company economic profit divided
by company revenue or all the companies competing in a specific market or market segment.
• Market economic profit ($): Potential economic profit, measured in dollars, that is available to
companies in a specific market or market segment. For example, if the market size is $32 billion and
the market economic profit percentage is 3 percent, then the market economic profit equals $960
million.
• Market size ($): Money expected to be spent by customers in a specific market or market segment.
For example, if it is projected that airlines will buy 800 100-seat aircraft for $40 million each over the
next 10 years, the market size would be $32 billion.
• Net assets: Assets used to determine the capital charge in the economic profit calculation. The
formula is
• Net Assets = Assets - Cash - Short-Term Investments - Liabilities (Excluding Debt)
• Net earnings: Also known as net profit or net income, it is the operating earnings less interest and
debt expenses (from borrowing), less taxes.
• Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT): Component of the EP calculation. The formula is
• NOPAT = Operating Earnings - (Operating Earnings x Tax Rate) NOPAT shows the profit
(or loss) from continuing operations.
• Operating earnings: Also called operating income, the amount left after research and development
and G&A are subtracted from the gross profit.
• Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E): Land, buildings, and equipment owned by the company.
• Research and development (R&D) costs: Additional expenses of research and development for
future products and services not clearly associated with a product or service.
• Retained earnings: Net earnings left in the company over its life, less all paid dividends.
• Revenue: Money received from the sale and delivery of products and services; one of the economic
drivers.
• Taxes: Something everyone loves to complain about; money paid to governmental agencies.

Glossary
• Assets: Resources (such as cash, investments, inventories, land, buildings, and equipment) that are
used to operate the company.
• Asset utilization: Measure of how efficiently a company uses its resources. It is one of the three
economic drivers each operating group is expected to measure.
• Boeing market share (%): Portion of the money spent by customers for Boeing products and services
in a specific market or market segment. For example, if the market size is $32 billion, and Boeing
receives $19.2 billion in revenues from that market, then the Boeing market share is 60 percent.
• Boeing relative economic profit (ratio): Ratio of Boeing economic profit percentage divided by
market economic profit percentage. It shows how Boeing economic profit percentage compares to the
market economic profit percentage. For example, if the Boeing economic profit percentage is 3.15
percent, and the market economic profit percentage is 3 percent, then the Boeing relative economic
profit ratio would be 3.15 percent divided by 3 percent, or 1.05. Because the ratio is greater than 1,
Boeing should be getting a bigger share of the market economic profit.
• Boeing share of economic profit (%): Portion of the market economic profit that Boeing could
potentially earn. For example, if the Boeing market share is 60 percent, and the Boeing relative
economic profit ratio is 1.05, then Boeing could expect to earn 63 percent of the market economic
profit dollars.
• Capital charge: Cost associated with using the net assets, determined by multiplying the cost of
capital by net assets.
• Cost of capital: Weighted average of the cost of debt and the cost of equity. When multiplied by the
net assets, yields the capital charge on those assets.
• Costs of products and services: Also called the costs of goods sold or operating expenses. Includes
the labor, materials, and overhead expenses used in developing, manufacturing, and delivering the
products and services sold.
• Datamart: the repository of Company financial data. See your representative from Finance for more
details.
• Economic profit (EP): Measure that shows not only how much money a business earns, but also the
value of the assets used to earn the money. It provides employees a clear line of sight between their
organizational performance and the company financial statements. The formula is
• EP = Net Operating Profit After Taxes - Capital Charge If the EP of a program, project, or
service is greater than 0, it is creating value for the company; if the EP is less than 0, it is
destroying value. Looking at projected EPs over time helps the company select a strategic
direction.
• Free cash flow: Free cash flow = net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) minus change in net assets.
• General and administrative (G&A) costs: Other operating expenses, including rent, utilities, office
supplies, and administrative departments -- such as accounting, marketing, and human resources that
support continuing operations not clearly associated with a product or service.
