FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Why does net margin matter?+
Net margin is the most comprehensive efficiency metric — it captures pricing power, cost discipline, capital structure and tax management in one number. Compare year-on-year and against peers.
Top quartile vs median — what to aim for?+
Median is the benchmark; top quartile is the aspiration. Companies in top quartile typically have one or more of: pricing power (brand), cost leadership (scale/automation), or premium product mix. Sub-median margins demand a strategy review.
How is this different from EBITDA margin?+
EBITDA strips out non-operating items (interest, tax, D&A) and reflects core operating efficiency. Net margin is the bottom line — it includes capital structure (interest) and tax. Use EBITDA for operations comparability and net margin for shareholder returns.
