- Net Income Attributable to Accenture plc
- The net income shows a generally upward trajectory over the six-year period. Starting at approximately 4.78 billion USD in 2019, it increased steadily to reach about 7.26 billion USD by 2024. Notably, growth appears consistent year-over-year, with a slight plateau between 2022 and 2023, where the net income remained nearly stable before rising again in 2024.
- Earnings Before Tax (EBT)
- EBT follows a similar positive trend, growing from around 6.25 billion USD in 2019 to nearly 9.70 billion USD in 2024. There is an evident sharp increase between 2021 and 2022, from approximately 7.76 billion to 9.20 billion USD. However, a small dip is observed in 2023 before rebounding slightly in 2024.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- EBIT also demonstrates growth aligned closely with EBT figures. It increased from about 6.27 billion USD in 2019 to nearly 9.76 billion USD in 2024. The same pattern of a significant jump between 2021 and 2022 is observed, followed by a minor decrease in 2023 and recovery in the final year reported.
- Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
- EBITDA exhibits the strongest upward momentum among the financial metrics analyzed. Beginning around 7.17 billion USD in 2019, it rose consistently each year, reaching approximately 11.20 billion USD in 2024. There is continuous growth without any decline throughout the period, including the years where slight declines were seen in other earnings metrics.
- Overall Trends and Insights
- All profitability indicators reveal substantial growth over the six-year span. The consistent increase in EBITDA suggests improving operational efficiency and cash flow generation capacity, while the smaller fluctuations in EBIT and EBT indicate some variability in non-operating expenses or tax impacts. The slight stagnation in net income between 2022 and 2023 hints at possible external or one-time factors affecting bottom-line profitability in that interval. The recovery in 2024 across all metrics points to resumed growth momentum. The coherence in the trends across related profit measures implies stable underlying business performance with a positive growth outlook.

- Enterprise Value (EV)
- The enterprise value exhibits substantial fluctuations over the examined periods. Initially, it rises from approximately $111.8 billion in 2019 to a peak of around $208.5 billion in 2021, indicating a significant growth phase. This peak is followed by a notable decline to roughly $150.5 billion in 2022. Subsequently, the EV rebounds to about $183.0 billion in 2023 and further increases to approximately $222.6 billion by 2024, surpassing the previous peak and suggesting renewed investor confidence or valuation adjustments.
- Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
- EBITDA demonstrates a consistent upward trend throughout the period, growing from about $7.17 billion in 2019 to an estimated $11.20 billion in 2024. This steady increase reflects continuous operational improvement or expansion in earnings capacity, with no periods of decline observed within the data range.
- EV/EBITDA Ratio
- The EV/EBITDA ratio, a key valuation metric, shows significant volatility. It starts at 15.6 in 2019, rises to a peak of 23.31 in 2021, suggesting an elevated valuation relative to earnings at that point. The ratio then declines sharply to 14.25 in 2022, reflecting either a market correction or improved earnings in relation to enterprise value. Subsequently, the ratio increases again to 17.26 in 2023 and 19.87 in 2024, indicating renewed valuation expansion but remaining below the 2021 peak. This pattern suggests fluctuating market sentiment or changing perceptions of the company's risk and growth prospects.
