DU PONT ANALYSIS
Du Pont Analysis
 Started by du Pont corporation in 1920
 Tool to examine company return on equity (ROE). The decomposition of ROE allows
investors to focus on the key factor of financial performance individually to identify
strengths and weaknesses.
 Used to analysis a company ability to increase its return on equity
 DuPont analysis breaks ROE into its components to determine which of these
factors are most responsible for changes in ROE.
 Focus on three major components
i) Profit margin (Operating efficiency is represented by net profit margin)
ii) Asset turnover (Asset use efficiency is measured by the asset turnover)
iii) Financial leverage (Leverage is measured by the equity multiplier)

I. Net Profit Margin:


The net profit margin is equal to how much net income or profit is generated as a
percentage of revenue. net profit margin is typically expressed as a percentage.

Net Profit Margin= Net profit after taxes / net sales * 100


Net profit margin help investors assess if a company management is generating
enough profit from sale
II. Asset Turnover or assets efficiency
The asset turnover ratio or assets turn is financial ratio that measures how
efficiently a company uses its assets to generate revenue.

Asset Turnover = Net sale /Total assets


A normal asset turnover ratio will vary from one industry group to another.
III. Financial Leverage
Financial leverage, or the equity multiplier, is an analysis of a company's use of
debt to finance its assets.

Equity multiplier= Total Assets/Shareholder Equity


Increase financial leverage will also lead to an increase in return on equity.
Formula of DuPont Analysis

Basic Du Pont
ROI and Du Pont Approach
Return on investment =return on assets =Earning power
ROI=ROA=Earning power
ROI=net profit margin x Total asset turnover
= (Net profit after taxes / net sales*100) x (Net sale /Total assets)
= (Net profit after taxes/total assets) *100
This ratio tells us the earning power on shareholders book value investment and is
frequently used in comparing two or more firm is in industry

Extended Du Pont Analysis


ROE = Return on Shareholder equity
ROE= net profit margin x Total asset turnover x Equity Multiple
= (Net profit after taxes / net sales) x (Net sale /Total assets) x (Total Assets /
Shareholder Equity)
= (Net profit after taxes/Shareholders equity) *100
Stakeholder point on analysis
 Business analysts can use the Du Pont method to analyse an organization and
establish what the company strengths and weaknesses are and how they can
improve in an efficient way. 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.
 certain types of high turnover industries, such as retail stores, may have very low
profit margins on sales and relatively low financial leverage. In industries such as
these, the measure of asset turnover is much more important.
 Dupont ROE helps shareholders how the company is creating value for shareholder
and many knowledgeable investors see return on equity as a strong measure of how
well a company management is creating wealth for shareholders

Drawbacks
 Du Pont analysis utilizes data from a company income statement and balances
sheet some of which may not be entirely accurate. even if the data used of
calculation are reliable.

 Another disadvantage is inherent to all financial ratio analysis method comparing


companies work best when two companies have sane size and operate in same
industry
