t) EVA<br />

its shareholders, has adopted the EVA based methodology<br />

for performance management and also for capital expenditure<br />

evaluation based on the recommendations of Stern Stewart<br />

& Co.<br />

Economic Value Added (EVA) is defined as the excess of Return<br />

on Invested Capital (ROIC) over weighted average cost of Capital<br />

(WACC); viz<br />

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)<br />

= Net Operating Profit after Taxes but before interest costs<br />

(NOPAT)<br />

Average Invested Capital<br />

Weighted average cost of Capital (post tax)<br />

= Average Adjusted Equity * Cost of Equity (%) + Average debts<br />

(including Prov. for ESS Compensation and deferred tax liability)<br />

*Cost of Debts (%)<br />

Average Adjusted Equity + Average debts<br />

The Cost of Equity is determined under the CAPM method while<br />

the cost of debt is based on the actual cost of borrowings.<br />

The EVA spread was 22.23% as compared to 23.54% in the<br />

previous year. The calculation of EVA spread is as follows:<br />
