Operating return on assets (ROA) measures a company's operational efficiency in generating profit from its assets. CTS Corp.'s operating ROA has exhibited fluctuations over the past five years. The company's operating ROA was 9.51% in 2019 and increased to 12.68% in 2022 before declining slightly to 11.08% in 2023.

The significant increase in operating ROA from 2019 to 2022 indicates improved operational performance and asset utilization during this period. However, the slight decrease in 2023 suggests a potential slowdown in profit generation relative to the assets employed.

Overall, CTS Corp. has demonstrated relatively stable operational ROA levels above 10% in recent years, reflecting a decent efficiency in utilizing its assets to generate operating profits. Continued monitoring of this ratio will be important to assess the company's ongoing operational efficiency and asset management.
