Note:

1) 2)

VA/Employee Cost (for manufacturing businesses only) = Material margin / (Employee cost + Manpower cost on hiring) ROCE = LTM EBIT/(Average tangible capital employed + capital deployed for acquiring NOVELIC and Railway Business)

ROE = LTM PAT/(Average tangible net worth + capital deployed for acquiring NOVELIC and Railway Business)

Net Debt to EBITDA = Short-term & long-term debt less cash, bank balances & mutual fund investments / LTM EBITDA

4) 5) Working Capital Turnover (WCTR) = LTM Revenue/ Average net working capital

Fixed asset turnover (FATR) (for manufacturing businesses only) = LTM Revenue/ Average Tangible net block

ROCE, WCTR and FATR have been normalized by annualizing Railway Business EBIT and turnover respectively
