Findings

structure · concentration · cost lever
  • Consumer is ~79% of revenue at a high EBITDA margin — the engine behind the dividend.
  • Business is smaller and structurally thinner.
  • EBITDA is derived (EBIT + tagged D&A) — the level telecoms actually steer by.
  • A goodwill impairment sits in the detail — a non-cash flag to normalise when comparing years.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Return on equity 16.7% (-1.2pp vs FY24).
  • DuPont. margin -0.8pp, asset turnover -0.4pp, equity multiplier -0.0pp — margin did the most work. Margin 13.3% → 12.7%, turnover 0.35 → 0.34×, multiplier 3.83 → 3.82×.
  • ROIC 9.3% — NOPAT (EBIT at the effective tax rate) over equity plus debt less cash; the measure that ignores how the mix is financed.
  • Capital returned 11.48bn (buybacks 0.00, dividends 11.48) against free cash flow 20.13bn — 57% of it.

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.
