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 | $2.14B | $2.04B |
| Net income | Reported net income | $551.17M | $371.26M |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | $19.69B | $20.31B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | $10.39B | $10.65B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | 25.75% | 18.23% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.1087x | 0.1003x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 1.8946x | 1.9066x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | 5.30% | 3.49% |

| Last market price | $24.31 |
| Market capitalisation | $16.31B |
| Revenue | $2.14B |
| EBIT | $823.83M |

| FCF yield | 6.87% |
| Net debt / EBITDA | 5.58x |

Financial institutions and REITs require sector-specific methods rather than a mechanical FCFF DCF. This is research and analysis only, not personalized financial advice.
