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 | $15.00B | $15.83B |
| Net income | Reported net income | $-14.50B | $-119.55M |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | $43.02B | $60.94B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | $5.77B | $20.19B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | -96.62% | -0.76% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.3488x | 0.2597x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 7.4606x | 3.0181x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | -251.43% | -0.59% |
