5. OVERALL PROFITABILITY RATIO
• What Is the DuPont Analysis?
• The DuPont analysis (also known as the DuPont identity or DuPont
model) is a framework for analyzing fundamental performance
popularized by the DuPont Corporation.
• DuPont analysis is a useful technique used to decompose the
different drivers of return on equity (ROE).
• The decomposition of ROE allows investors to focus on the key
metrics of financial performance individually to identify strengths and
weaknesses.
• What DuPont Analysis Tells You?
• A DuPont analysis is used to evaluate the component parts of a company's
return on equity (ROE).
• This allows an investor to determine what financial activities are
contributing the most to the changes in ROE.
• An investor can use analysis like this to compare the operational efficiency
of two similar firms.
• Managers can use DuPont analysis to identify strengths or weaknesses
that should be addressed.
• There are three major financial metrics that drive return on equity (ROE):
1. operating efficiency
2. asset use efficiency
3. financial leverage.
• The Dupont analysis is an expanded return on equity formula,
calculated by multiplying the net profit margin by the asset turnover
by the equity multiplier.
Example of DuPont Analysis Use
• An investor has been watching two similar companies, SuperCo and Gear Inc., that have
recently been improving their return on equity compared to the rest of their peer group.
This could be a good thing if the two companies are making better use of assets or
improving profit margins.
• In order to decide which company is a better opportunity, the investor decides to use
DuPont analysis to determine what each company is doing to improve its ROE and
whether that improvement is sustainable.
•
• Analysis of Super Co: As you can see in the table, SuperCo improved its profit
margins by increasing net income and reducing its total assets.
• SuperCo's changes improved its profit margin and asset turnover.
• The investor can deduce from the information that SuperCo also reduced
some of its debt since average equity remained the same.
• Analysis of Gear Inc: The investor can see that the entire change in ROE was
due to an increase in financial leverage.
• This means Gear Inc. borrowed more money, which reduced average equity.
• The investor is concerned because the additional borrowings didn't change
the company's net income, revenue, or profit margin, which means the
leverage may not be adding any real value to the firm.
