    Abstract:

    Evaluating the financial performance of companies is one of the most important issues of concern to investors, creditors, governments and managers. Managers use performance evaluation to evaluate the performance of their covered areas.  Investors (shareholders) in order to evaluate the success rate of the management in using their capital and to decide on maintaining, increasing or selling the investment; Lenders in order to decide on the amount of credit granting rate; They evaluate performance. The most important aspect that is considered by investors in performance evaluation is whether value has been created for them or not. In recent years, many efforts have been made to introduce indicators that can better achieve the goals of shareholders. One of the most recent indicators was the adjusted economic added value, which takes into account the opportunity cost of all the resources used and adjusts the distortions caused by the use of different accounting methods by the management, as well as the effect of inflation, and is the only performance measure that has a direct relationship with the stock market value, and by which the added value in the stock price of any company can be explained. In this research, the explanation of the appropriate financial performance evaluation criteria has been investigated in the conditions of the Iranian capital market in the period of 2014-2016. First, the variables of the research have been identified and in order to analyze the information, from the data obtained from the new software; Excel software has been used to calculate research variables. In order to test the hypotheses, these data were analyzed by SPSS software with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics such as correlation analysis. The following results have been obtained from the research:

    First main hypothesis: There is a significant relationship between adjusted economic added value and market added value in Iran's capital market. The adjusted coefficient of determination between the two variables of adjusted economic added value and market added value in the Iranian capital market is equal to 0.266 and shows that 26.6% of the changes in market added value depend on economic added value;  sig (significance level) is less than 0.05, which indicates the existence of a moderate correlation between these two variables. Considering that in the table related to the linearity test of the model, sig is less than five percent, the assumption of linearity of the relationship between the two variables is confirmed and the first main hypothesis of the research is confirmed. The adjusted coefficient of determination between the two variables of adjusted economic added value and market added value in the Iranian capital market is equal to 0.169 and shows that 16.9% of the changes in market added value depend on economic added value; sig (significance level) is less than 0.05, which indicates the existence of a moderate correlation between these two variables. Considering that in the table related to the linearity test of the model, sig is less than five percent, the assumption of linearity of the relationship between the two variables is confirmed and the second main hypothesis of the research is confirmed.

    Third main hypothesis: main hypothesis 3: between profitability criteria for performance evaluation (such as return on equity, return on investment, growth in earnings per share, residual profit rate, sales return rate, price-to-dividend ratio) and the dividend rate of shares), with the added value of the market, there is a positive relationship in the capital market of Iran. The statistical components obtained from the statistical tests related to the variables of this hypothesis and the added value of the market show that, except for the price-to-dividend rate, other variables have a linear and positive relationship with the market value-added; as a result, the linearity of the relationship between the examined variables and the market-added value (except the price-to-dividend rate variable) is confirmed.

    Fourth main hypothesis: Adjusted economic added value compared to other financial performance evaluation criteria. In Iran's capital market, it shows more explanatory power of the added value of the market.The review of the adjusted R2 related to the relationship between MVA and other variables shows that the adjusted coefficient of determination of the adjusted economic added value has always been significantly higher than the adjusted R2 of other independent research variables. Therefore, we accept the theory that in the Iranian capital market, the REVA criterion has the most positive relationship with the added value of the market and it can be called the best criterion for evaluating financial performance. Fifth main hypothesis: type The industry influences the relationship between financial performance measures and added market value. The relevant statistical tests show that the industry control variable has an effect on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the research; as a result, the fifth main hypothesis is also confirmed.    The sixth main hypothesis: the size of the companies has an effect on the relationship between the financial performance measures and the added value of the market. The relevant statistical tests show that the control variable has an effect on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables of the research; as a result, the sixth main hypothesis is also confirmed. Creditors, shareholders and all capital market actors are suggested to use this criterion to evaluate the financial performance of companies and their managers and to evaluate the shares of companies using these criteria along with other criteria; in order to achieve the main goal, which is to maximize the shareholders' wealth. The results obtained in this research show a complete agreement with the results of Melbourne et al.'s research [1] (1997). According to the development and importance of the role of the capital market, it is one of the most important issues in the financial and economic field. Economic added value[3] and adjusted economic added value[4] are among the most important criteria for measuring financial performance. Several researches have been conducted at the international level and agree with the view that adjusted economic added value has the highest correlation with market values ??compared to other traditional financial performance evaluation criteria. The most important goal of this study is to theoretically explain financial performance indicators, test these indicators and provide the necessary evidence to help Iranian capital market participants to make rational decisions in the investment process. This research is of the type of applied research, and based on the method and nature, it is classified as correlational research, and by using simple and multivariate regression, it has investigated the degree of correlation between adjusted economic added value and other modern and traditional measures of financial performance with market added value [5]. The findings of the current research claim that the adjusted economic added value, compared to the economic added value and other indicators of traditional financial performance evaluation, shows a greater correlation with the added value of the market in the years 1387-1384 and it is suggested to creditors, shareholders and all capital market actors to use this criterion to evaluate the financial performance of companies and their managers and to evaluate these criteria along with other criteria; to use The results obtained in this research show a complete agreement with the results of the research of Melbourne and others[6]. Managers use performance measurement in order to evaluate the performance of parts under their coverage. Investors (shareholders) evaluate the performance in order to evaluate the success rate of management in applying their capital and making decisions for maintaining, increasing or selling investment and creditors use it to make decision about amount of rate of credit granting. The most important aspect that investors consider in evaluating performance is that whether any value has been created for them or not. In recent years, many efforts have been made to introduce indices that could better fulfill the goals of shareholders.
