Strategic Financial Health & Efficiency
The Strategic Financial Health & Efficiency dashboard for Sage 300 measures capital efficiency, profitability, asset utilization, and balance sheet structure. It shows how invested capital converts into profits, how assets and working capital generate sales, and how the financial structure changes over time.
How to use the strategic financial health and efficiency dashboard
- Compare invested capital with operating returns to see how much operating profit the capital produces.
- Relate assets and working capital to revenue growth through the asset turnover ratio and the working capital turnover.
- Read net profit margin over time to see how profitability changes alongside pricing, cost structure, and investment.
- Contrast growth investments with revenue generation capacity using CapEx to Revenue and free cash flow.
- Separate equity financing from debt to see the financial structure and solvency in the equity ratio and the debt ratio.

Key performance indicators (KPIs)
The key performance indicators (KPIs) at the top of the dashboard show six capital efficiency, profitability, and balance sheet measures, and update based on the filters you apply.
| KPI | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) | Operating profit divided by total capital employed, higher when the capital produces more operating profit. |
| Asset Turnover Ratio | Revenue divided by total assets, so a higher value means the assets produce more revenue. |
| Working Capital Turnover | Sales divided by working capital, and a higher value means the working capital produces more sales. |
| CapEx to Revenue | Capital expenditures divided by revenue, shown as a percentage, higher when a larger share of revenue goes to fixed assets and growth. |
| Net Profit Margin % | Net income divided by total revenue, shown as a percentage. A higher margin means more of each revenue dollar remains as net income. |
| Equity Ratio | Shareholders' equity divided by total assets, higher when more of the assets are financed by equity. |
