For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business.

To calculate this metric for Sulzer, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.17 = CHF384m ÷ (CHF4.7b - CHF2.4b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024) .

In absolute terms, that's a pretty normal return, and it's somewhat close to the Machinery industry average of 15%.
