Indicator for increasing the value of a company

He created a formula for calculating a key figure within the theory of value creation in the expression of Economic Value Added (EVA). This EVA figure indicates the annual increase in value in a company's business management. This method lies in the calculation of the difference from the surplus of the operation in one year minus the expected interest calculation of the equity. The equity is made up of the sum of the respective share capital and the related annual investment. This difference, if positive, is viewed as a real added value gain by Siegert.
