Return on Capital Employed Overview: LiveXLive Media

Author: Benzinga Insights | July 20, 2021 10:48am

Pulled from Benzinga Pro data LiveXLive Media (NASDAQ:LIVX) reported Q4 sales of $21.04 million. Earnings fell to a loss of $8.83 million, resulting in a 16.22% decrease from last quarter. LiveXLive Media collected $19.12 million in revenue during Q3, but reported earnings showed a $7.59 million loss.

Why ROCE Is Significant

Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q4, LiveXLive Media posted an ROCE of -1.08%.

Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future.

Return on Capital Employed is an important measurement of efficiency and a useful tool when comparing companies that operate in the same industry. A relatively high ROCE indicates a company may be generating profits that can be reinvested into more capital, leading to higher returns and growing EPS for shareholders.

For LiveXLive Media, the return on capital employed ratio shows the current amount of assets may not actually be helping the company achieve higher returns, a note many investors will take into account when making long-term financial decisions.

Analyst Predictions

LiveXLive Media reported Q4 earnings per share at $-0.15/share, which did not meet analyst predictions of $-0.1/share.
