The question then becomes how to increase the profit margin as your company’s net income goes down.

I’m not a big fan of the phrase “profit margin” because it often tends to mean the same thing when it’s measured in dollars per share (DPS). But that’s not really the way the term should be used. It’s actually better to think of a profit margin in terms of cash per share (CPS).

The net profit margin is the ratio of net income to assets. Its a measure of how much cash a company has in the bank at any given point in time.

That’s exactly it. The profit margin is the ratio of net income divided by total assets. By the way, the net profit margin is equal to the net income divided by total assets divided by the total number of shareholders.

In short, as your net profit margin decreases the amount of cash on hand decreases and the company is able to make more money, but since the company is also able to cut back on its overall expenses, it can ultimately make more money. In effect, the company’s net profit margin is the amount of money it can make with a limited amount of cash and resources.

For most companies, their net profit margin is the most important metric of profitability. That is not the case for Arkane, however. It has one of the largest net profit margins in the industry, and a fairly small amount of cash on hand to work with. The reason is because Arkane’s net profit margin is based on the company’s total assets. In essence, a company with a high net profit margin will have a higher net income, but lower net assets.

In Arkanes case, assets are actually more than just the company itself. They also include the assets of its suppliers. Arkanes net profit margin is based on the value of the company. Its assets (and assets minus liabilities), plus its liabilities, equal its net profit margin. The higher the net profit margin, the less Arkanes assets contribute to Arkanes liabilities.

How much of a company’s net profit margin is dependent on the net profit margin of its suppliers. The more their net profit margin is affected by their suppliers’ net profit margins, the less they have to pay their suppliers. This has the effect of making Arkanes suppliers less profitable because Arkanes customers will have a harder time buying from them than they would if the net profit margin of Arkanes suppliers were not affected.

This is more of a financial point than a technological one. We tend to think of the way that money moves through a company as being simple, and that a company can only make the amount of money it needs to make (i.e. the company’s net income). But it’s not that simple. Companies have a variety of cost factors that impact the net profit margin of a company.

The net profit margin is a measure of the relative profitability of an activity. Companies can have a much higher net profit margin than others, or a much lower one. The difference between the net income of a firm and its net profit margin is more a measure of a company’s strength than a simple matter of money moving through the company.
