What is the SBC Ratio?

Stock-based compensation (SBC) as a percentage of revenue measures how much dilutive equity a company grants to employees and executives relative to its revenue base. High SBC ratios are common in early-stage SaaS and can significantly inflate non-GAAP earnings relative to GAAP figures, making comparisons across companies misleading without normalization.

Formula: SBC Ratio = Annual Stock-Based Compensation / Trailing 12-Month Revenue × 100

Interpretation: SBC ratios below 10% are considered low dilution. Above 20% signals meaningful annual dilution that investors should factor into total shareholder return calculations. High-growth companies typically run elevated SBC ratios that compress as they scale; investors monitor the trajectory rather than the absolute level.
