Profitability Ratios (Summary)
Accenture PLC, profitability ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-02-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-11-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-08-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-05-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-02-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-11-30).
- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin has remained relatively stable over the observed period, fluctuating slightly between 31.66% and 32.61%. There is a mild upward trend noticeable from mid-2022 through early 2024, peaking around 32.61%, followed by a gradual decline towards the end of the period, settling just below 32%. This stability suggests consistent cost management relative to revenue generation.
- Operating Profit Margin
- The operating profit margin exhibited a gradual improvement from late 2020 through late 2022, increasing from approximately 14.84% to around 15.27%. However, this was followed by a noticeable decline reaching a low near 13.6% in late 2023. Subsequently, the margin rebounded strongly in 2024, achieving peaks above 15% before facing another decline toward the end of the timeframe. This pattern indicates variability in operational efficiency or expense control.
- Net Profit Margin
- Net profit margin showed moderate fluctuations, mostly ranging between 10.65% and 12.05%. The margin peaked around early 2021 and experienced a downward trend through 2023, reaching lows near 10.65%. There is some recovery seen in 2024 with margins rising toward 11.61%, but this does not reach earlier peak levels. The changes suggest influences from both operating performance and other factors such as taxation or financing costs.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE demonstrated a generally high level, consistently above 24%, with a peak of approximately 31% in early 2022. After this peak, a gradual decline took place through 2023 into 2024, bottoming near 25%, followed by slight improvements until early 2025. Toward the very end of the period, ROE decreased to about 24.6%. This trajectory points to some erosion in the efficiency of equity utilization over time.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA remained within a moderate band between approximately 11.7% and 15%, peaking in late 2021 and early 2022. Following this peak, ROA trends downward steadily with intermittent fluctuations, reaching about 11.74% by the end of the analysis period. The consistent decline suggests a reduction in asset profitability or increased asset base without proportional income gains.

- Gross Profit
- The gross profit exhibits a fluctuating upward trend over the periods analyzed. Beginning at approximately 3.9 billion US dollars in late 2020, it experiences some variability but generally grows, reaching a peak near 5.8 billion US dollars around late 2024 and mid-2025. Notably, there are intervals of decline, such as from November 2021 to August 2022, and again from late 2024 to mid-2025, indicating potential short-term pressures on cost management or sales mix.
- Revenues
- Revenues show a consistent growth pattern throughout the timeline, increasing from roughly 11.8 billion US dollars at the end of 2020 to over 17.7 billion US dollars by mid-2025. This steady increase suggests expanding business activity and market demand. Despite minor fluctuations quarter-on-quarter, the overall direction indicates strong top-line growth, with occasional periods of slower growth or consolidation.
- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin remains relatively stable in the range of approximately 31.6% to 32.6% across the entire period. Small variations are observable but no significant shifts occur, implying consistent cost control relative to revenues and stable pricing strategies. Margins peak slightly above 32.5% in late 2023 to late 2024, before a marginal decline towards 31.9% by mid-2025, which might reflect rising costs or competitive pricing pressures in recent quarters.
- Overall Analysis
- The data reflects a strong revenue growth trajectory accompanied by a stable gross profit margin, which indicates effective management of production or service delivery costs in proportion to increasing revenues. Gross profit growth is positive but subject to short-term fluctuations, which may warrant monitoring for operational efficiency improvements. The stability in gross margin percentage suggests that profitability relative to sales has been maintained despite market or input cost changes.

- Operating Income
- The operating income exhibits notable volatility across the periods analyzed. Initially, it declined from approximately 1.89 billion USD in late 2020 to about 1.65 billion USD in early 2021, followed by a recovery reaching around 2.43 billion USD by late 2021. Throughout 2022 and 2023, the values fluctuate within a range roughly between 1.91 billion USD and 2.60 billion USD, without a consistent upward or downward trajectory. From early 2024 onward, operating income shows an overall upward trend, peaking near 2.95 billion USD by late 2024, but thereafter returns towards levels closer to 2.05 billion USD by mid-2025, suggesting cyclical influences and variability in profitability.
- Revenues
- Revenues display a generally increasing trend across the time span, starting at roughly 11.76 billion USD at the end of 2020 and reaching approximately 17.79 billion USD by mid-2025. Growth is relatively steady with minor fluctuations, notably a plateau or slight dip in the second half of 2022 and early 2023. The revenue increments are indicative of sustained business expansion despite some periods of slower momentum.
- Operating Profit Margin
- The operating profit margin demonstrates modest variation, mostly ranging between 13.6% and 15.4%. It begins at approximately 14.8% and tends to increase gradually with peaks near 15.38% occurring intermittently, specifically in late 2022 and towards mid-2025. There is a brief decline to a low near 13.6% during late 2023 and early 2024, followed by recovery. This reflects a relatively stable margin profile with periodic compression and expansion likely influenced by cost management, pricing, and operational efficiency factors.
- Overall Summary
- The financial data suggests that revenues have grown steadily over the analyzed period, supporting a generally positive business development trend. Operating income, however, is more variable, which may signal fluctuating operational costs, project mix, or other income statement components impacting profitability. Despite these fluctuations, the operating profit margin remains relatively stable, indicating consistent control over operating expenses relative to revenue. The combination of higher revenues with relatively stable margins implies effective scaling, although the volatility in operating income warrants attention for underlying causes and potential improvements in income stability.

- Revenue Trends
- The revenue figures demonstrate a general upward trajectory over the observed periods. Starting from approximately 11.76 billion USD in late 2020, revenues increased with some fluctuations, reaching peak levels close to 17.73 billion USD by late 2025. Despite occasional minor declines or stagnation across some quarters, the overall momentum indicates stable growth in top-line performance across the nearly five-year span.
- Net Income Trends
- Net income attributable to the company exhibits more volatility compared to revenues. While it generally aligns with revenue growth, there are significant quarter-to-quarter variations in net income amounts, ranging from around 1.4 billion USD to over 2.2 billion USD. The figure shows periods of strong gains followed by notable decreases, reflecting fluctuations in profitability or possible impacts from operational costs, market conditions, or other factors influencing earnings.
- Net Profit Margin Analysis
- The net profit margin percentage remains relatively stable across the timeline, consistently hovering around the 11% mark. It experienced a slight decline from about 11.7% to approximately 10.6% in some mid-period quarters, but recovered back to above 11% in later periods. This stability in profit margin alongside revenue growth suggests effective cost management and operational efficiency, albeit with some short-term margin pressure during certain quarters.
- Summary of Financial Performance
- The company shows solid revenue growth over the quarterly periods, supported by a generally consistent net profit margin. The fluctuating net income highlights underlying variability in profitability, possibly due to changes in expenses or external economic conditions. Overall, the financial data points to a company with expanding sales capacity and controlled profitability metrics, maintaining resilience in its earnings profile through an extended timeframe.

- Net Income
- The net income shows a fluctuating pattern across the observed periods. It peaked initially at 1,790,024 thousand USD in November 2021 and again reached a higher peak of 2,278,894 thousand USD in November 2024. However, there were intervals of decline, notably in August 2023, down to 1,372,963 thousand USD, and in August 2025, dropping sharply to 1,413,963 thousand USD. This volatility suggests some variability in earnings performance from quarter to quarter.
- Total Shareholders’ Equity
- The total shareholders’ equity demonstrates a consistent upward trend throughout the periods. Starting from 17,906,501 thousand USD in November 2020, it grew steadily to reach 31,195,446 thousand USD by August 2025. This steady increase indicates continual growth in the company’s equity base, reflecting retained earnings and possible capital infusions or asset revaluations over time.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- The return on equity reveals a gradual decline over the observed timeframe. Initially high at over 29% through early 2022, ROE peaked slightly above 31% in February to August 2022. Thereafter, a consistent downtrend is noted, falling to approximately 24.6% by August 2025. This decreasing trend suggests a reduced efficiency in generating profits from the equity base, despite the increased equity levels.
- Summary Insights
- While the growth in total shareholders’ equity signifies strength in capital accumulation and possibly operational reinvestment, the declining ROE indicates that profitability relative to equity is weakening. Combined with the volatility in net income, these patterns suggest that although the company is expanding its capital base, it may face challenges in maintaining consistent profit margins or efficiency in capital utilization. Monitoring the causes behind net income fluctuations and the diminishing ROE would be essential for strategic financial planning.

- Net Income
- The net income exhibits noticeable fluctuations over the periods analyzed. Initially, the figures range between approximately 1.41 billion and 1.79 billion US dollars. There are recurrent peaks reaching levels near or above 2 billion US dollars, indicating episodes of strong profitability. However, several quarters show declines, notably in February 2023 and August 2025, where net income falls closer to 1.37 billion and 1.41 billion US dollars respectively. This volatility may reflect external market conditions or operational variations affecting earnings performance.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrate a consistent upward trend across the timeline. Starting from about 38.3 billion US dollars, the asset base expands steadily with only minor fluctuations, ultimately reaching around 65.4 billion US dollars by the last period. This growth suggests ongoing investment and expansion of the asset base, which could indicate strategic growth initiatives or acquisition activity contributing to asset accumulation.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The return on assets ratio shows a slightly declining trend from an initial level around 13.7% down to approximately 11.7% at the end of the series. While the ratio remains within a relatively narrow band, the gradual decrease indicates that net income growth has not fully kept pace with asset growth over these periods. This implies a moderate dilution of asset efficiency in generating earnings, warranting attention to asset utilization and profitability drivers.
- Overall Observations
- The data reveals a profile of significant asset growth accompanied by fluctuating profitability levels. The net income swings and slight reduction in ROA suggest moderate challenges in sustaining consistent earnings gains relative to the expanded asset base. Continuous monitoring of asset deployment effectiveness and income stability will be crucial to maintaining or improving financial performance in future quarters.
