63 7-Sep-05 ABB has returned to profitable growth but is still not creating enough value (ABB’s 2004 ROCE = 8.7%) EBIT margin Capital efficiency (ROCE) Cash flow generation Net margin EBIT margin insufficient measure of value creation, especially in systems business ROCE indicates overall effectiveness of resource use Composite indicator of margin and asset turnover Forces accountability for each item on the balance sheet After-tax to allow comparison with weighted average cost of capital (WACC) Each division with a target rate of return on new investments (based on capital intensity, risk, volatility) Divisional target rates of return on new investments © ABB Group - 64 7-Sep-05 The ROCE approach is intended to increase value creation through better focus on the balance sheet Reduce low return assets (Non-core, real estate, etc.) Drive incremental value creation on new investments in core businesses Target rates of return on new investments help achieve this objective Combine EBIT expectation, capital intensity and risk into one return target Better reflect true economic return for project businesses Allow differentiated return expectations on new investments Power Products, Automation Products (higher margins, stable, low risk, high intensity) 10-12% Power Systems, Process Automation (lower margins, volatile, higher risk, low intensity) 15-20% Robotics (mix of both) 12-15% ROCE calculation and balance sheet disclosure ROCE (after tax) EBIT (less tax)1 = Fixed assets + Net working capital Assets Cash and marketable securities Net Receivables Inventory Pre-paid expenses and other Other current assets* Financing assets Liabilities and equity Net working capital Short-term borrowings Provisions Accrued expenses/Deferred income* Advances from customers* PP&E, net Goodwill Other intangible assets, net Pre-paid employee benefits Investments * © ABB Group -
