Business & segments
Segment profitability · FY2025 · profit pool

Where the profit pool sits — revenue × margin by segment.

Findings

structure · concentration · cost lever
  • Automotive is ~87% of revenue at ~16% gross — the wide bar.
  • Energy generation & storage is small (~$13bn) but higher-margin (~30%) — a narrow, tall bar.
  • Tesla tags segment gross profit + COGS but no segment revenue, so revenue is derived = gross + COGS.
  • The ladder stops at gross — no segment operating income is tagged.

Segment walk — two options

Two stages for the same verified walk (TSLA: 2 segments · Revenue, Gross profit · —). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.
o1
Option 1 — walk + interpretation
The walk takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance sit on the right. One page, one argument — the switches carry the depth.
b09-60-40
o2
Option 2 — walk left, build-up right
Two equal fields: the walk on the left, the per-segment contribution table on the right. Picture and arithmetic side by side.

Segment contribution walk

Segment walk — who moved the group number

$bn / pp
97.7−5.52.794.8FY2497.7Automo-tiveEnergyGener-ation.FY2594.8

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — Revenue, by segment, vs FY−1: group revenue moved 97.7 → 94.8bn (-2.9bn) between FY24 and FY25. The switches change the view, not these numbers.
  • Automotive carried the move: 87.6 → 82.1bn (-5.5bn). Next was Energy Generation & Storage at +2.7bn.
  • Named segments explain -2.9bn of the -2.9bn; the residual +0.0bn is corporate and intersegment eliminations — the walk closes on the reported group figure.
  • Ladder levels this firm actually tags: Revenue, Gross profit; no second dimension is tagged.

Segment values from the SEC EDGAR segment axis, operating rows only (OperatingSegments preferred over bare members to avoid double-counting; aggregation artifacts skipped). Volume/margin split is order-neutral: vol = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁), margin = ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm. Group anchor from the consolidated P&L (kpi).

Two stages for the same verified walk (TSLA: Gross profit, EBIT, Pre-tax, Net income · 6 FY). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.

The bridge takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance on the right. The switches carry the depth: level, scale, detail, method, window.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — EBIT, by driver, $bn, vs FY−1: ebit moved 7.1 → 4.4bn (-2.7bn) from FY24 to FY25.
  • Split: volume -0.1bn (revenue 97.7 → 94.8bn) against margin -2.6bn (margin 7.2% → 4.6%, -2.7pp) — the margin decided it.
  • Margin drivers: R&D -2.06bn, G&A -0.86bn, Other operating expenses +0.18bn (of 4 tagged steps).
  • Levels available for this firm: Gross profit, EBIT, Pre-tax, Net income. Windows: vs FY−1 … FY−3.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts (annual durations only). Driver contribution of a cost step = −Rev₀·Δ(step/Rev); tagged sub-lines are itemised and reconcile to the step. Volume/margin: margin-first = Δrev·m₁ and r₀·Δm; Shapley = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁) and ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm — both sum exactly to ΔP. In pp scale the volume effect is zero by construction.

Three separate analyses (TSLA: Gross profit, EBIT · 6 FY). Every bridge closes exactly on the reported figure; what the firm does not tag is visibly switched off.

Operating — the same move, two readings
The bridge to operating profit, switchable between cost drivers and segments. The bracket between driver and segment walk: WHAT moved and WHO moved, one anchor.

2
Financing & tax — from EBIT to the bottom line
Non-operating result, then tax separated into the rate effect and the higher-base effect — together they equal the tax change exactly.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Operating. EBIT 7.1 → 4.4bn (-2.7bn). The same move reads two ways — by cost driver or by segment; both anchor on the reported group figure.
  • Financing & tax. Net income 7.1 → 3.8bn. Effective tax rate 20.6% → 27.3% (+6.7pp): rate effect -0.3bn, tax on the higher base +0.8bn — it was mostly the bigger base.
  • Exceptionals. Restructuring 0.39bn — adjusting them out moves the operating result by +0.4bn.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts; segment view from the segment axis (operating rows only). Tax is split rate-versus-base: rate effect = −EBT₁·Δr, base effect = −ΔEBT·r₀ — together they equal the total tax change exactly. Exceptionals cover restructuring, goodwill and asset impairment, disposal gains/losses and acquisition costs, each only where the firm tags it.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Leverage moved up from 0.49× to 0.70× (FY24 → FY25).
  • Split, order-neutral: debt effect +0.10×, EBITDA effect +0.10× — the earnings flow did the heavier lifting.
  • Net debt -9.9bn against EBITDA 9.4bn; cash 16.5bn offsets gross debt 6.6bn.
  • TSLA holds net cash (-9.9bn): net leverage is not a meaningful constraint. The walk therefore runs on gross debt / EBITDA — still the honest measure of the borrowing stock against the earnings flow.
  • On a trailing-twelve-month basis the ratio reads 0.76× at 2026-03-31 — quarterly components are unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1, Q3 = 9M − H1, Q4 = FY − 9M); every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.

Two-factor Shapley decomposition (order-neutral): debt effect = ½·(ND₁−ND₀)·(1/E₀+1/E₁), EBITDA effect = ½·(ND₀+ND₁)·(1/E₁−1/E₀). Source: SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fiscal-year-end instants and full-year flows.

Leverage walk — version 2 of 3

Three layouts of the same verified analysis (TSLA, net cash — gross-debt walk). Same numbers, same Shapley split — only the staging differs. Pick one; the others get removed.
V1
Version 1 — quad
Four equal panels: two-effect bridge · leverage trend · debt vs earnings · findings. Everything on one page; each panel gets a quarter of the stage.
b11-quad
V2
Version 2 — max two charts per slide
Two pages, never more than two charts each. Page one pairs the two-effect bridge with the nested bridge at full size; page two puts the trend beside the growing build-up table.
b08-halb + b-chart-tabelle-paar
V3
Version 3 — figure, bridge, evidence
One page, read top-down: the four numbers first, the nested bridge as a wide band, then the build-up table growing underneath as the proof.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Return on equity 4.6% (-5.1pp vs FY24).
  • DuPont. margin -4.1pp, asset turnover -1.1pp, equity multiplier +0.0pp — margin did the most work. Margin 7.3% → 4.0%, turnover 0.80 → 0.69×, multiplier 1.67 → 1.68×.
  • ROIC 4.3% — NOPAT (EBIT at the effective tax rate) over equity plus debt less cash; the measure that ignores how the mix is financed.
  • Capital returned — none: TSLA tags neither repurchases nor dividends in the latest year. Cash stays in the business.

All inputs from the same statement layer as the P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow slides. ROE = net income / equity · ROA = net income / assets · ROIC = EBIT·(1 − effective tax rate) / (equity + debt − cash). DuPont splits ΔROE into margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier using the order-neutral Shapley decomposition for a three-factor product — the three contributions sum to the ROE change exactly.

Capital returns — none

TSLA tags neither share repurchases nor dividends in these years — no cash is returned to shareholders. That is a finding, not a missing number.

Discussion, findings and sources

Discussion — what this deck says in four sentences

  • Size and direction. Revenue FY25 94.8bn (-3% vs FY24), net income 3.8bn.
  • Who moved it. 2 segments; the swing came from Automotive at -5.5bn of a -2.9bn group change.
  • What moved it. EBIT 7.1 → 4.4bn: volume -0.1, margin -2.6bn (7.2% → 4.6%) — the margin decided it.
  • How it is funded. Net cash -9.9bn — leverage is not a binding constraint; the walk runs on gross debt (0.70×).

Sources & limitations — including what does not work

Sources
  • SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fully loaded (extend_facts) into p1_TSLA.sqlite; annual and quarterly durations separated by period length; segment values from the segment axis.
  • Charts throughout via chartsmcp (never hand-written SVG); slot size = viewBox ÷ k so labels land at 11 px in the deck.
Limitations
  • Statements: 5 fiscal years + 8 quarters. Quarterly values unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1 …); fiscal Q4 is derived, EPS Q4 left blank (not additive).
  • Segments: this firm tags the levels Revenue, Gross profit — the filing carries no more; untagged levels are never estimated.
  • Leverage walk runs on gross debt (net cash position); the cash-flow nesting explains net debt and is deliberately switched off there.
  • LTM series: quarterly EBITDA from unwound quarters; every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.
  • Not included: market data (price, multiples) and macro series — neither is in companyfacts; including them would mean inventing content.
