Run Rate
Run rate is a financial metric used to project future performance based on current results. It's essentially an extrapolation of current financial performance over a longer period, typically an annualized figure.
How to Calculate Run Rate
Identify the period: Determine the specific time frame (e.g., monthly, quarterly) for which you have data.
Calculate revenue or earnings: Determine the total revenue or earnings for the chosen period.
Annualize the figure: Multiply the revenue or earnings by the number of periods in a year.
For example:
If a company generates $100,000 in revenue in one month, the annual run rate would be $100,000 * 12 = $1,200,000."
Uses of Run Rate
Forecasting: Estimating future revenue or earnings based on current performance.
Performance evaluation: Comparing actual performance to the run rate to identify deviations.
Investor communication: Providing a quick snapshot of the company's financial trajectory.

Important to note: Run rate is a simplified projection and doesn't account for potential changes in business conditions, seasonality, or other factors that could impact future performance.
