non-performing

Yielding no returns

Non-performing describes something that fails to meet expected standards or obligations.

The term appears most often in finance: a non-performing loan is one where the borrower has stopped making payments.

Non-performing assets generate no income for their holder.

Outside finance, non-performing can describe anything not functioning as intended: non-performing equipment, non-performing employees.
