KPI Name

Definition

Calculation Formula

Relevance in Steel and Power Industries

Revenue Growth Rate

Percentage increase (or decrease) in a company's revenue over a specific period.

((Current Period Revenue – Prior Period Revenue) / Prior Period Revenue) × 100

Tracks market expansion and demand fluctuations, reflecting the impact of strategic initiatives. Wikipedia

Operating Margin

Percentage of revenue remaining after covering operating expenses.

(Operating Income / Revenue) × 100

Measures efficiency and cost control, essential for companies facing high production and operational expenses in steel and power sectors. Wikipedia

EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization; a proxy for core operational profitability.

Operating Income + Depreciation + Amortization

Indicates cash generation capability in capital-intensive industries, excluding non-cash or non-operational charges. Investopedia

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

Average expense incurred to acquire a new customer, including sales, marketing, and onboarding costs.

Total Sales & Marketing Expenses ÷ Number of New Customers Acquired

Useful in competitive bidding or contract-driven sectors (e.g., power supply contracts) to assess sales and marketing efficiency among competitors. Wikipedia

Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV)

Total revenue expected from a customer over the entire duration of their relationship with the company.

(Average Revenue per Customer × Gross Margin Percentage) ÷ Churn Rate (or alternative models considering contract length)

Assesses the long-term value of customer relationships—critical when evaluating the stability of long-term contracts in the B2B sectors of steel and power. Investopedia

Churn Rate

Percentage of customers discontinuing the use of a company's products or services during a given period.

(Number of Lost Customers ÷ Total Customers at Period Start) × 100

Important for assessing customer retention and satisfaction in sectors with fewer but larger clients; low churn suggests competitive strength. Wikipedia

Aspect

Key Considerations

Consistent Definitions

Ensure that all companies use the same definitions for each KPI (e.g., including/excluding similar expenses for EBITDA).

Uniform Calculation Methods

Verify that formulas (like those for Revenue Growth or Operating Margin) are applied consistently across competitors, allowing accurate benchmarking.

Segmentation Consistency

For customer-related metrics (CAC, CLTV, Churn Rate), ensure similar customer segmentation (e.g., large contracts vs. retail segments).

Accounting Standards

Compare financial KPIs only when companies follow the same accounting principles and reporting standards.

Time Period Alignment

Analyze KPIs over identical time periods to avoid skewed trend comparisons.

Ratio

Definition

Calculation Formula

Data Requirements

Comparison Approach

Price-to-Earnings (P/E)

Measures investor’s valuation by comparing the market price per share to earnings per share (EPS).

P/E = (Market Price per Share) / (EPS)

Latest market price and EPS from audited reports

Compares relative valuation — a higher ratio may indicate overvaluation relative to peers (Wikipedia).

Debt-to-Equity (D/E)

Indicates financial leverage by comparing total debt (or liabilities) to shareholders’ equity.

D/E = (Total Debt or Liabilities) / (Shareholders’ Equity)

Latest balance sheet data

Lower D/E suggests lower risk; ensure consistent treatment of liabilities across firms (Investopedia).

Return on Investment (ROI) / Return on Equity (ROE)

Measures efficiency in generating returns from investments or equity.

ROI = (Net Income) / (Total Assets) or ROE = (Net Income) / (Shareholders’ Equity)

Income Statement (Net Income) and Total Assets or Equity

A higher ROI/ROE indicates more efficient capital use; using standardized definitions ensures like-for-like comparisons (Wikipedia).

Gross Profit Margin

Reflects how efficiently a company converts revenue into gross profit, indicating cost management in production.

Gross Profit Margin (%) = (Gross Profit / Revenue) × 100

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold from Income Statement

A higher margin indicates stronger pricing and cost control; compare same fiscal periods for consistency (Investopedia).
