The data used in this study are quantitative data with data collection techniques through documentation and this research is comparative in nature. The object of this research is PT. Garuda Indonesia, Tbk, which was listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2013-2017. The results of the study explained that the results of the financial performance of PT. Garuda Indonesia Tbk during the 2013-2017 period measured by the overall financial ratio can be said to be quite good, although there are still some fluctuating ratios. Whereas financial performance is assessed using the Economic Value Added (EVA) method which results in a negative result (EVA <0), which means that the company is unable to produce added value for shareholders. The results of the comparison of the two methods explain that there are differences caused by capital costs that are not taken into account in the analysis of financial ratios.
