Performance ratio	Description	The company
Economic profit margin	The ratio of economic profit to sales. It is the company’s profit margin covering income efficiency and asset management. Economic profit margin is not biased in favor of capital-intensive business models, because any added capital is a cost to the economic profit margin.	DuPont de Nemours Inc.’s economic profit margin deteriorated from 2016 to 2017 but then slightly improved from 2017 to 2018.
