Value based management

Galenica has an integrated value-based management concept in place that derived from an economic value added (EVA) approach. It is based on the understanding that in the interest of shareholders and other important groups of stakeholders, Galenica will strive to achieve a long-term investment return which exceeds the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Targets, plans, performance measurement and management compensation are aligned to increase the enterprise value.

Invested capital

Invested capital corresponds to current and fixed operating assets less cash and cash equivalents and non-interest-bearing current liabilities. In the following, invested capital is calculated indirectly via equity and net debt.

Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) and return on invested capital (ROIC)

Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) is the profit before interest and after depreciation, amortisation and taxes. It is calculated from the operating result (EBIT adjusted) less calculatory income taxes.

Return on invested capital (ROIC) is calculated as NOPAT divided by the average of invested capital. This measure of performance integrates both measures of profitability and measures of capital efficiency.

Galenica economic profit (GEP)

The most important key figure in Galenica's value-based management concept is the Galenica economic profit (GEP). The GEP illustrates the result of the Galenica Group after consideration of the cost of capital. GEP is a measure designed to reflect the principles of value-based management derived from an economic value added (EVA) approach. GEP is calculated as the NOPAT less the WACC over the average invested capital.
