GMROI Report

Conclusion
The average amount that the inventory returns over its cost can be seen by the investor or manager thanks to the GMROI. A ratio greater than 1 indicates that the company is making a profit on the goods it sells and that there is a healthy balance between its sales, margin, and cost of inventory and the opposite is true for a ratio below 1.
