What is Asset Turnover?

The Asset Turnover Ratio divides annual revenue by average total assets to show how efficiently a company deploys its asset base to produce sales. A ratio of 1.0 means the company generates $1 of revenue per $1 of assets. Asset-light businesses (software, consulting) typically show high ratios, while capital-intensive industries (utilities, real estate) show low ratios. Trend analysis within one company or peer comparison within one industry provides the most useful signal.

Formula

Asset Turnover = Revenue ÷ Average Total Assets

Worked Example

Worked example — Apple Inc. (AAPL)

FY2024

Step 1  Revenue FY2024: $391,035M
Step 2  Average total assets: ($364,980M + $352,583M) ÷ 2 = $358,782M
Step 3  Asset Turnover = $391,035M ÷ $358,782M = 1.09x
Step 4  → Apple generates $1.09 in revenue for every $1.00 of assets
