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 US$. 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 | $10.22B | $9.32B |
| Net income | Reported net income | $984.00M | $755.00M |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | $203.24B | $150.14B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | $5.36B | $4.28B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | 9.63% | 8.10% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.0503x | 0.0620x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 37.8967x | 35.0799x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | 18.35% | 17.64% |

| Market capitalisation | $41.17B |
| Revenue | $10.22B |
