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 FY2024 FY2023
Revenue Reported revenue HK$4.84B HK$5.12B
Net income Reported net income HK$200.60M HK$85.35M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$3.55B HK$3.42B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$2.90B HK$2.79B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 4.15% 1.67%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 1.3640x 1.4946x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.2212x 1.2292x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 6.91% 3.06%

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$4.84B
Prior annual revenue HK$5.12B
EBIT HK$244.81M
Tax rate 17.97%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) HK$200.81M
Forecast start-growth basis -5.50%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT HK$200.81M
Add: depreciation & amortisation HK$72.40M
Less: capital expenditure -HK$40.42M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement HK$643,000.00
Current unlevered FCFF HK$233.43M

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 -5.50% HK$189.77M HK$68.42M -HK$38.20M HK$607,658.69 HK$220.60M HK$214.45M
2 -3.50% HK$183.13M HK$66.03M -HK$44.15M HK$586,407.43 HK$205.60M HK$188.87M
3 -1.50% HK$180.39M HK$65.04M -HK$50.67M HK$577,622.12 HK$195.33M HK$169.58M
4 0.50% HK$181.29M HK$65.37M -HK$58.15M HK$580,515.55 HK$189.09M HK$155.13M
5 2.50% HK$185.83M HK$67.00M -HK$67.00M HK$595,028.44 HK$186.42M HK$144.53M

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.20
Cost of equity 5.82%
Pre-tax cost of debt 6.25%
WACC 5.82%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value HK$5.76B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 19.62x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 83.26%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF HK$872.57M
Present value of terminal value HK$4.34B
Indicated enterprise value HK$5.21B
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$5.21B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt HK$3.95M
Add: cash and equivalents HK$1.73B
Add: affiliate investments HK$0.00
Less: minority interests HK$0.00
Indicated common equity value HK$6.94B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 234,854,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price HK$11.30
DCF indicative value per share HK$29.54
Indicative value vs. market price 161.39%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 16:23:28.400047 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2024-06-30 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

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

Profitability (RMW) NM 0.01 (0.03)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.38 (1.26)

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.
