According to Benzinga Pro data Gentherm THRM posted a 41.41% decrease in earnings from Q4. Sales, however, increased by 7.83% over the previous quarter to $267.66 million. Despite the increase in sales this quarter, the decrease in earnings may suggest Gentherm is not utilizing their capital as effectively as possible. Gentherm reached earnings of $20.05 million and sales of $248.23 million in Q4.

Why Is ROIC Significant?

Earnings data without context is not clear and can difficult to base trading decisions on. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) helps to filter signal from noise by measuring yearly pre-tax profit relative to invested capital by a business. Generally, a higher ROIC suggests successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. In Q1, Gentherm posted an ROIC of 2.07%.

It is important to keep in mind that ROIC evaluates past performance and is not used as a predictive tool. It is a good measure of a company's recent performance, but does not account for factors that could affect earnings and sales in the near future.
