Asset turnover is a financial ratio that measures the efficiency of a company's use of its assets in generating sales revenue or sales income to the company.[1]

Asset\ Turnover = \frac{Sales}{Average Total Assets}

  • "Sales" is the value of "Net Sales" or "Sales" from the company's income statement
  • "Average Total Assets" is the value of "Total assets" from the company's balance sheet in the beginning and the end of the fiscal period divided by 2.
