Management Lesson Series - ROCE & DuPont Analysis.

ROCE & DuPont Analysis.

ROCE (Return on Capital Employed = EBIT / Capital Employed) measures operating efficiency independently of how a business is financed. DuPont Analysis (DuPont Corporation, Donaldson Brown, 1920s) decomposes ROE into three multiplied components: Net Profit Margin (Net Income / Revenue — pricing and cost efficiency) × Asset Turnover (Revenue / Total Assets — operational efficiency) × Financial Leverage (Total Assets / Equity — capital structure). Two companies with identical ROE can have completely different business models: a luxury brand (high margin, low turnover, low leverage) vs a retailer (low margin, high turnover, moderate leverage). DuPont reveals which path each business takes. Most important warning: ROE can be manufactured through leverage. A business improving ROE by increasing debt while ROCE declines is destroying operational value while manufacturing financial returns. Always decompose ROE before drawing performance conclusions — rising ROE driven by increasing leverage is a financial risk signal, not an operational achievement.
