    Du Pont Analysis

    In choosing what assets to include in a portfolio, more often than not an in-depth analysis of the

    investment alternatives is made. If one of the alternatives is an ownership share in a corporation,

    then it is likely that the Du Pont ratio will be one of the tools used to analyze that investment.

    Return on equity (ROE) can be defined as:

    Return on equity =Net Income

    Total Equity

    We can multiply Assets/Assets without changing anything in this ratio.

    Return On Equity =Net Income

    Total Equity

    =Net Income

    Assets

    Total Equity Assets

    =Net Income

    Assets

    Assets Total Equity

    =108,103,000

    1,109,545,000

    1,109,545,000 686,789,000

    = 15.74%

    Further more, we can express ROE as the product of two other ratios ROA and the equity

    multiplier:

    ROE = ROA Equity multiplier

    = ROA ( 1 + Debt-equity Ratio )

    =Net Income

    ( 1 +Total Debt

    )Total Asset Total Equity

    = 108,103,000 ( 1 + 0.38 )1,109,545,000 0.62

    = 9.74% ( 1 + 0.61 )

    = 9.74% 1.61

    = 15%

  • 8/2/2019 BWFF2013_exp of Assg

    19/22

    BWFF2013 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT I

    19

    The difference between ROE and ROA can be substantial.

    Apart from that, we can also further expand ROE by adding total sales to the top and the bottom:

    And when we rearrange the position, ROE will be:

    Return on assets

    = Profit margin Total asset turnover Equity multiplier

    = 7.85% 1.24 1.61

    = 15%

    This ROE is affecting by three things:

    1. Operating efficiency (as measured by profit margin)2. Asset use efficiency (as measured by total asset turnover)3. Financial leverage (as measured by the equity multiplier)

    Weakness in either operating or asset use efficiency (or both) will show up in adiminished return on assets, which will translate into a lower ROE.

    Considering the Du Pont identity, it appears that the ROE could be leveraged up by

    increasing the amount of debt in the firm. However, notice that increasing debt also increases

    interest expense, which reduces profit margins, which acts to reduce ROE. So, ROE could go up

    or down, depending. More important, the use of debt financing has a number of other effects,

    and, the amount of leverage a firm uses is governed by its capital structure policy.

    In fact, the Du Pont Analysis should not be used as the sole, investment analysis tool in

    deciding on what stock to include in a portfolio. Other tools such as the ROI and cash flows as a

    percentage of sales, or any other income statement item, are just few of numerous financial

    tools that an investor can easily use in investment analysis.

    CONCLUSION

    In conclusion, the glove industry has been blessed with the exponential growth in demand

    for gloves globally particularly due to the high demand from the traditional medical markets

    driven by stringent regulatory standards, aging population and emergence of health threats. For

    the examples, bioterrorism threats, SARS, bird flu, anthrax as well as from the increasing use of

    gloves in non medical sectors due to the increasing hygiene awareness particularly within the

    food and services industries.

    Top Glove Corporation Berhad operates in a recession-proof market, taking into

    consideration the products are basic necessities, particularly in the healthcare and food services

    industry. As such, demand is anticipated to stay resilient in times when major consuming

    economies slow down. The company maintains a positive outlook towards continuous growth

    and securing better performance for the coming years in terms of sales revenue and profitability

    through the continuous effort of aggressive marketing strategies, increase in production capacity

    to capitalize on economies of scale coupled with further improvement in product quality, cost

    control and management efficiency. Moving forward in tandem with the above mentioned

    initiatives, the company has adopted a two-prong growth strategies namely vertical growth

    strategy by moving downstream to get closer to the customers via setting up of more overseas

    marketing offices as well as horizontal growth strategy in product range expansion by increasing

    sales in value added products such as the enhanced and much improved version of powder free

    latex examination, soft nitrile, vinyl, clean room and surgical gloves to capture bigger market

    share. The presence in China will also enable the company to tap for opportunities that synergize

    with the distribution channel.
