DuPont Model Analysis

The DuPont model decomposes return on equity (ROE) into three operating and capital-structure drivers:

ROE = Net Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

The comparison uses the latest two comparable annual periods available for the issuer, with reported statement amounts shown in HK$. Revenue and net income are income-statement flows; total assets and shareholders’ equity are year-end balance-sheet figures. This is a simplified year-end-balance DuPont comparison rather than an average-balance ROE calculation.

DuPont component Calculation FY2025 FY2024
Revenue Reported revenue HK$2.07B HK$1.87B
Net income Reported net income HK$13.39M HK$7.90M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$2.34B HK$2.17B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$1.25B HK$1.24B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 0.65% 0.42%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.8825x 0.8587x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.8749x 1.7495x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 1.07% 0.64%

Source: Yahoo Finance annual statements. Values are based on the two latest comparable annual periods returned by the source; fiscal period labels use the statement period-end year.

2.5 FCFF DCF Valuation

Valuation basis: This research model follows a five-year, unlevered FCFF DCF. It starts from reported annual operating inputs, forecasts revenue and operating cash conversion under an explicit mechanical policy, discounts FCFF at WACC, applies a Gordon-growth terminal value, and bridges enterprise value to an indicative common-equity value per share. It is an analytical estimate rather than a recommendation or personalised target price.

Step 1 — Forecast Operating Profit and NOPAT

Reported operating input Value
Revenue HK$2.07B
Prior annual revenue HK$1.87B
EBIT HK$55.11M
Tax rate 16.50%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) HK$46.02M
Forecast start-growth basis 10.77%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT HK$46.02M
Add: depreciation & amortisation HK$45.76M
Less: capital expenditure -HK$20.27M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement -HK$18.36M
Current unlevered FCFF HK$53.14M

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 10.77% HK$50.98M HK$50.68M -HK$22.45M -HK$20.34M HK$58.87M HK$57.34M
2 8.70% HK$55.41M HK$55.10M -HK$32.08M -HK$22.11M HK$56.32M HK$52.06M
3 6.64% HK$59.09M HK$58.75M -HK$42.39M -HK$23.58M HK$51.88M HK$45.50M
4 4.57% HK$61.79M HK$61.44M -HK$52.88M -HK$24.65M HK$45.69M HK$38.03M
5 2.50% HK$63.33M HK$62.97M -HK$62.97M -HK$25.27M HK$38.06M HK$30.06M

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta -0.01
Cost of equity 4.68%
Pre-tax cost of debt 7.34%
WACC 5.39%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value HK$1.35B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 9.74x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 82.34%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF HK$222.99M
Present value of terminal value HK$1.04B
Indicated enterprise value HK$1.26B
Discounting convention mid-year for explicit FCFF; terminal value discounted at year-end five

Step 6 — Convert Enterprise Value to Equity Value

Equity bridge Value
Indicated enterprise value HK$1.26B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt HK$156.21M
Add: cash and equivalents HK$497.67M
Add: affiliate investments HK$0.00
Less: minority interests HK$76.30M
Indicated common equity value HK$1.53B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 861,930,692.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price HK$0.19
DCF indicative value per share HK$1.77
Indicative value vs. market price 833.10%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 16:10:22.759071 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-12-31 00:00:00. Default assumptions: five-year forecast, mid-year discounting for explicit FCFF, a maximum 2.50% perpetuity-growth rate below both WACC and the risk-free rate, historical operating-ratio persistence, and capex convergence to D&A by year five. No sell-side consensus or management guidance is substituted for reported inputs. This is research and analysis only, not personalized financial advice.

2.7 Quantitative Factor Diagnostics

Model basis: Daily issuer USD excess returns are regressed in-sample using ordinary least squares on matching regional Fama–French factors. FF3 estimates market, size, and value loadings; FF5 adds profitability and investment. Coefficients are descriptive historical exposures, not predictions.

Estimation input Value
Regional factor set Asia Pacific ex Japan
Factor-return currency USD
Issuer-return basis USD adjusted total return
Estimation window 2025-08-20 to 2026-06-30
Aligned daily observations 210
Minimum observation requirement 120
Currency conversion for HK listings HKD adjusted close divided by daily USD/HKD close before simple daily return calculation

Fama–French Three-Factor and Five-Factor Results

Diagnostic FF3 FF5
Annualised alpha 10.79% -3.25%
Adjusted R² -0.01 0.00
Annualised residual volatility 109.34% 108.16%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5

Profitability (RMW) NM -0.20 (-0.17)
Investment (CMA) NM 2.88 (2.10)

Definitions: Mkt-RF is the market return less the risk-free rate; SMB is small minus big; HML is high minus low book-to-market; RMW is robust minus weak profitability; CMA is conservative minus aggressive investment. Factor returns are sourced from the Kenneth R. French Data Library; issuer adjusted-return history is sourced from Yahoo Finance. For Hong Kong listings, adjusted HKD prices are converted into USD with daily USD/HKD closes before return calculation to match the USD regional factor basis. This is an in-sample historical regression; coefficients and t-statistics do not establish causation or predict future returns. This is research and analysis only, not personalized financial advice.
