SSGR stands for Self-Sustainable Growth Rate. It’s a financial metric that measures the maximum rate at which a company can grow without resorting to external financing (like issuing new debt or equity). In essence, it’s a measure of a company’s internal growth potential.
SSGR = (Net Profit Margin * Net Fixed Asset Turnover * (1 – Dividend Payout Ratio) – Depreciation Rate) * 100
Where:
- Net Profit Margin: Measures the profitability of a company’s operations.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover: Indicates how efficiently a company uses its fixed assets to generate revenue.
- Dividend Payout Ratio: The percentage of net profits paid out as dividends.
- Depreciation Rate: The rate at which a company’s fixed assets are depreciated.
Why is SSGR Important?
- Financial Health: A high SSGR indicates a company’s ability to grow organically, which is often seen as a sign of financial health.
- Investment Decision: Investors often use SSGR to assess a company’s growth potential and its reliance on external financing.
- Risk Assessment: A company with a high SSGR may be less risky as it’s less dependent on external factors for growth.
