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$2.41B | HK$1.32B |
| Net income | Reported net income | HK$-3.46B | HK$-3.21B |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | HK$12.90B | HK$4.54B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | HK$-17.89B | HK$-15.15B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | -143.33% | -242.00% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.1870x | 0.2916x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | -0.7211x | -0.2999x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | 19.33% | 21.16% |
