Organic Growth The growth rate that a company can achieve by increasing output and enhancing sales. This excludes any profits or growth acquired from takeovers, acquisitions or mergers. Takeovers, acquisitions and mergers do not bring about profits generated within the company, and therefore, are not considered organic. Investopedia Says: Organic growth represents the true growth for the core of the company. It is a good indicator of how well management has used its internal resources to expand profits. Organic growth also identifies whether managers have used their skills to improve the business. Related Terms: Acquisition Growth Rate Inorganic Growth Merger Mergers And Acquisitions - M&A |
