Fig. 3.17: Return on sales – ratio of profit a¨er tax to sales (%)

Source: Ministry of Industry and Trade, Czech Statistical Office Return on equity, or return on owners’ invested funds (ROE), is the highest in the long term for motor vehicle end manufacturers (21.8% in 2022). In contrast, ROE for auto parts and equipment manufacturers has been declining since 2015, falling into negative territory in 2020. For 2022, it was 0.2%. It was thus much lower than the ROE for the manufacturing industry as a whole (12.8% in 2022).
