Salesforce Inc., long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-04-30).
The analysis of the quarterly financial ratios reveals several noteworthy trends regarding asset utilization and equity efficiency over the observed periods.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- This ratio shows a consistent upward trend starting from a value of 7.2 in January 2020 and increasing to 12.33 by April 2025. The ratio demonstrates steady growth with minor fluctuations, indicating improved efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate revenue over time. The increase suggests that the company has been increasingly effective in leveraging its fixed asset base to drive sales.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- This adjusted turnover metric also exhibits a continual growth pattern, rising from 3.16 in January 2020 to 7.34 in April 2025. Although lower in absolute terms compared to the traditional net fixed asset turnover, the trend shows consistent improvement, reflecting enhanced utilization of assets including leased assets. The upward trajectory implies effective management of both owned and right-of-use assets in generating revenue.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio remains relatively stable throughout the periods, fluctuating between 0.27 and 0.41 without a clear upward or downward trend. Initial values start at 0.31 in January 2020, with some variability but no sustained growth pattern, indicating stable but modest efficiency in utilizing the company’s total asset base to generate revenue. This stability suggests that overall asset utilization has not significantly improved or deteriorated during the timeframe.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover shows a general increasing trend from 0.5 in January 2020 to around 0.64 by April 2025. The ratio experiences initial fluctuations but gradually rises, reflecting improved efficiency in generating revenue relative to shareholders' equity. The increasing trend indicates enhanced use of equity capital in producing sales, a positive indicator of shareholder value creation.
In summary, the company demonstrates marked improvements in the efficiency of fixed asset usage, both owned and leased, as evidenced by rising net fixed asset turnover ratios. Equity turnover likewise improves, suggesting better revenue generation relative to shareholders' equity. However, total asset turnover exhibits stable performance with no significant improvement, indicating that while fixed assets and equity are being utilized more effectively, total asset management has remained consistent over the review period.

The analyzed quarterly financial data exhibit several notable trends regarding revenues, net fixed assets, and asset turnover ratios over the specified periods.
- Revenues
- Revenues showed a consistent upward trajectory from April 2019 through January 2025. Starting at approximately US$3,737 million in April 2019, revenues steadily increased, reaching a peak of around US$9,987 million in January 2025. This represents a more than twofold increase over the period, indicating robust top-line growth. Despite minor fluctuations, the overall pattern demonstrates sustained expansion with periodic quarter-over-quarter gains. Notably, slight declines or plateaus occurred in some quarters (e.g., a small dip in April 2023 to US$8,247 million from a prior peak of US$8,384 million), but these were subsequently followed by renewals of growth momentum.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The net book value of property and equipment grew from US$2,243 million in April 2019 to a peak of approximately US$3,702 million in January 2023. Following this peak, however, a gradual decline emerged through the forecasted quarters, falling to around US$3,131 million by April 2025. This pattern suggests a phase of asset accumulation and capital expenditure through the initial years, followed by a reduction or divestiture phase, or possibly depreciation outpacing new investments in the later years.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio started appearing in the dataset from October 2019, with a value of 7.2. This ratio steadily improved, rising to 8.64 by January 2021 and continuing upward to 12.33 by April 2025. The increase in this ratio indicates improving efficiency in generating revenue from fixed assets. The trend points to either enhanced operational productivity or a more effective utilization of the asset base. The steady rise in turnover, particularly noticeable in the last several quarters, reflects a strong ability to leverage fixed assets to drive revenue growth.
In summary, the data indicate a company achieving strong revenue growth accompanied initially by asset growth and subsequently improving asset utilization efficiency, as evidenced by the rising fixed asset turnover ratio. While net fixed assets peaked and then declined somewhat in later periods, revenue continued to increase, supporting the interpretation of improved asset productivity and operational efficiency over the long term.

The financial data reveals a steady growth trajectory in revenues over the analyzed period, spanning from April 2019 to April 2025. Revenues increased from approximately $3.7 billion in April 2019 to a peak near $10.0 billion by January 2025, indicating consistent expansion. Though the growth exhibits some quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, the overall trend is upward, with recent quarters showing a slight moderation in growth towards the end of the timeline.
The property and equipment net values, which include operating lease and right-of-use assets, display a contrasting trend. Starting from about $5.1 billion in early 2019, these assets slightly increased and peaked around $6.6 billion in early 2023, before gradually declining to approximately $5.3 billion by April 2025. This pattern suggests a reduction or optimization in asset holdings or depreciation impacts over the last few years while maintaining a substantial asset base.
Net fixed asset turnover ratio, which reflects the efficiency of the company in generating revenue from its fixed assets, shows a clear positive trend throughout the period analyzed. Beginning from a ratio of 3.16 in early 2020, it steadily increased to 7.34 by April 2025. This upward movement signifies a growing capability to generate higher revenues per unit of fixed asset investment, hinting at improved asset utilization or operational efficiency over time.
- Revenue Trends
- Consistent growth from $3.7 billion to nearly $10 billion over six years.
- Some variability in quarter-to-quarter increases but overall upward trajectory.
- Possible deceleration in growth nearing the end of the timeline.
- Property and Equipment Net
- Increase from $5.1 billion to a peak of about $6.6 billion by early 2023.
- Subsequent decline to about $5.3 billion by April 2025.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several trends in both revenues and total assets, as well as in total asset turnover ratios over the observed periods.
- Revenues
- Revenues show a general upward trend from April 2019 through April 2025. Starting at approximately $3.7 billion in April 2019, revenues increased steadily, reaching peaks above $9 billion in several quarters between January 2024 and April 2025. Some minor fluctuations are observed, such as a slight decline in April 2023 compared to the previous quarter, but overall the trend indicates consistent growth. This steady increase suggests effective revenue-generating strategies and possible market expansion or increased product/service uptake over these years.
- Total assets
- Total assets exhibit significant fluctuations over the same timeframe. Initially, assets stood around $33 billion in April 2019, followed by a sharp rise to nearly $50 billion by October 2019. The asset base continued growing, peaking near $99 billion in April 2024. However, periods of decline are evident, for example after January 2021 and again after April 2024, signaling potential asset sales, revaluations, or changes in investment strategies. Despite these fluctuations, an overall growth trajectory in asset size is apparent, reflecting likely expansion and capital investment efforts.
- Total asset turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio data begins in January 2020 and displays moderate but positive variation. Starting at approximately 0.31, the ratio generally oscillates between 0.27 and 0.41 throughout the observed quarters. Notably, turnovers tend to improve in recent years, with peaks reaching 0.4 and above during 2024. This upward movement in asset turnover suggests improving efficiency in generating revenues from the asset base, indicating better asset utilization or shifts toward more revenue-intensive operations.
- Overall insights
- The combination of rising revenues and a growing but fluctuating asset base, along with improving asset turnover ratios, suggests that operations are becoming more efficient over time. Revenue growth outpaces asset growth in periods where asset turnover rises, reflecting enhanced productivity. The fluctuations in total assets may warrant further investigation to understand the nature of asset adjustments and their impact on operational capacity. Nonetheless, the trends indicate positive financial performance with increasing scale and improving asset management efficiency.

- Revenues
- The revenue figures exhibit a consistent upward trend throughout the observed periods. Starting at approximately $3.74 billion in April 2019, revenues increased steadily with minor fluctuations, reaching close to $9.83 billion by April 2025. Notable growth phases include increments observed between early 2020 and early 2022, where quarterly revenues rose from around $4.85 billion to over $7.3 billion, followed by continuous gains into 2024, peaking around $9.99 billion in January 2025 before a slight dip in the last period recorded. Overall, the data indicate robust revenue growth, reflecting positive business expansion or increased sales performance.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity displays certain irregularities in addition to general growth over the timeline. Initially, the equity increased gradually from approximately $16.45 billion in April 2019 to about $17.17 billion in July 2019, followed by a sharp increase to nearly $33.28 billion in October 2019. Thereafter, it continued to rise steadily until April 2021, reaching around $55.5 billion. Subsequent periods show some volatility, with equity peaking near $60.1 billion in July 2022 before declining through 2023 and early 2024, falling to about $57.6 billion in July 2024. The last two quarters indicate a slight rebound closer to $61.2 billion in January 2025 and then a small decrease again. This pattern suggests that while there has been significant overall growth in equity, some fluctuations indicate variability possibly due to share issuances, buybacks, or changes in retained earnings.
- Equity turnover
- Equity turnover ratios, which measure how effectively equity is used to generate revenues, start at 0.5 in January 2020 and show a gradual upward trajectory over the subsequent years. The ratio increases from about 0.42 in October 2020 to approximately 0.64 in April 2025. This steady rise signifies improving efficiency in using equity to support revenue generation, reflecting potentially better asset management or enhanced operational productivity. The continuous improvement in this metric correlates with the steady revenue growth and the fluctuating but generally increased equity base, indicating an increasingly effective utilization of invested capital.
