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 | $11.14B | $11.63B |
| Net income | Reported net income | $-2.14B | $1.12B |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | $22.74B | $26.06B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | $10.23B | $13.09B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | -19.21% | 9.65% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.4900x | 0.4461x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 2.2227x | 1.9908x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | -20.91% | 8.57% |

| Market capitalisation | $7.73B |
| Revenue | $11.14B |
