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 FY2026 FY2025
Revenue Reported revenue HK$4.38B HK$3.84B
Net income Reported net income HK$200.49M HK$76.97M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$2.41B HK$2.33B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$1.28B HK$1.16B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 4.57% 2.00%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 1.8210x 1.6504x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.8767x 2.0092x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 15.63% 6.65%

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$4.38B
Prior annual revenue HK$3.84B
EBIT HK$262.37M
Tax rate 14.45%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) HK$224.45M
Forecast start-growth basis 14.16%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT HK$224.45M
Add: depreciation & amortisation HK$411.89M
Less: capital expenditure -HK$57.30M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement -HK$21.08M
Current unlevered FCFF HK$557.95M

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 14.16% HK$256.23M HK$470.20M -HK$65.42M -HK$24.07M HK$636.95M HK$615.39M
2 11.24% HK$285.04M HK$523.07M -HK$185.35M -HK$26.77M HK$595.99M HK$537.50M
3 8.33% HK$308.78M HK$566.64M -HK$322.74M -HK$29.00M HK$523.68M HK$440.86M
4 5.41% HK$325.50M HK$597.32M -HK$468.77M -HK$30.57M HK$423.48M HK$332.78M
5 2.50% HK$333.64M HK$612.25M -HK$612.25M -HK$31.34M HK$302.30M HK$221.75M

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.56
Cost of equity 7.79%
Pre-tax cost of debt 4.27%
WACC 7.13%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value HK$6.69B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 6.68x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 68.83%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF HK$2.15B
Present value of terminal value HK$4.74B
Indicated enterprise value HK$6.89B
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$6.89B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt HK$535.08M
Add: cash and equivalents HK$504.81M
Add: affiliate investments HK$0.00
Less: minority interests HK$0.00
Indicated common equity value HK$6.86B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 3,101,678,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price HK$0.91
DCF indicative value per share HK$2.21
Indicative value vs. market price 143.11%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 16:13:16.010612 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2026-03-31 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

Profitability (RMW) NM -0.44 (-1.04)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.73 (1.54)

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.
