I. An Overview of Dupont Analysis
Concept
DuPont analysis uses the relationship between key financial ratios to comprehensively analyze the financial condition of a company, which can evaluate a company's profitability and Rate of Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity (ROE) and assess its performance financially.
The idea is to break ROE into a product of multiple financial ratios, which helps to analyze and compare the business performance of a company.
Demonstration
For details about the dashboard, see DuPont Analysis. You can click to save and view the dashboard.
The financial condition of a company in 2016 is shown in the following figure.
Design Idea
ROE = Sales net profit margin * Asset turnover * Equity multiplier
ROE is affected by three factors.
Indicator | Description |
---|---|
Sales net profit margin = Net profit / Sales revenue | The profitability of a company |
Asset turnover = Sales revenue / Total assets | The operational capability of a company |
Equity multiplier = Total assets / Net assets (equity) = 1/(1 - Asset liability ratio) | Financial leverage is measured by equity multiplier, indicating the capital structure of a company. |
II. Steps to Build a Dupont Analysis
Example data: DuPont Analysis Demo.zip
Processing Data
Delete the spaces before Project name in the data table and clean the data.
1. Create an analysis subject and add the example data.
2. Select Profit Data, click Formula Column, and name it Final subject name. Enter the formula IF(FIND(" ",Subject name)=1,INDEXOF(SPLIT(Subject name," "),LEN(SPLIT(Subject name," "))-1),Subject name), and click OK and Save and Update.
Repeat the above steps in Asset Liability Data.
Merging Data Tables
You need to merge the two data tables Profit Data and Asset Liability Data because DuPont analysis needs data of both tables.
1. Select the table Profit Data you have processed in section "Processing Data". Select fields except Project ID and Project name.
2. Click Union All, select Asset Liability Analysis you have processed in section "Processing Data", and click OK.
Rename Profit Data as Asset Liability-Profit Data and click Save and Update.
Creating a Component
Click Component in the bottom left corner to create a component and select Asset Liability-Profit Data.
Calculating Net Profit Margin
Select the indicator Current amount, click , select Copy, and rename the copied indicator Net profit. Select Detail Filtering, and the condition is Final project name IN 5. Net profit or Project ID Equal to 500. Click OK.
Copy the indicator Current amount and rename it. Select Detail Filtering, and the condition is Final project name IN Including: operating income.
Choose > Add Calculation Indicator. Rename the filed and enter the formula SUM_AGG(Net Profit)/SUM_AGG(Sales Revenue). Click OK.
Calculating Asset Turnover
The calculation methods are the same as section "Calculating Net Profit Margin".
Copy the field Final amount and rename it. Set Detail Filtering for Total Asset: Final project name IN Total assets or Project ID IN 100.
Add a calculation indicator, rename it, and enter the formula SUM_AGG(Sales Revenue)/SUM_AGG(Total Assets). Click OK.
Calculating Equity Multiplier
1. Calculate Asset liability ratio. Asset liability ratio = Total liability / Total assets
You need to create the indicator Total liability. Copy the field Final amount, rename it Total Liability, and set Detail Filtering to Project ID Equal to 200220999 or Final Project Name IN Total Liabilities.
Add a calculation indicator, rename it, and enter the formula SUM_AGG(Total Liability)/SUM_AGG(Total Assets). Click OK.
2. Add a calculation indicator, rename it, and enter the formula 1 / (1 - Asset liability ratio). Click OK.
Calculating ROE
ROE= Sales net profit margin * Asset turnover * Equity multiplier
Add a calculation indicator, rename it, and enter the formula Sales net profit margin * Asset turnover * Equity multiplier. Click OK.
Creating a KPI Indicator Card
Select KPI Indicator Card, drag the field ROE into Text in Graphic Properties.
Repeat to create KPI indicator cards for other indicators.
