4 2023 Calculation
Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= 502,935 – 15.98% × 1,948,548 = 191,545
The financial performance from 2018 to 2023 indicates a significant transition from economic value destruction to substantial value creation. This progression is primarily characterized by a sharp increase in operational profitability that significantly outpaced the growth of the capital base.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- A consistent upward trajectory is observed, with NOPAT increasing from 130,421 thousand US$ in 2018 to 502,935 thousand US$ in 2023. The most notable growth occurred between 2018 and 2019, where profit more than doubled, signaling a fundamental shift in operational efficiency or market expansion.
- Invested Capital and Cost of Capital
- Invested capital expanded steadily from 1,227,436 thousand US$ in 2018 to 1,948,548 thousand US$ in 2023. Concurrently, the cost of capital remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 15.17% and 15.98%. This stability indicates that the hurdle rate for new investments remained consistent despite the increase in the scale of operations.
- Economic Profit Trends
- Economic profit transitioned from a negative value of -55,742 thousand US$ in 2018 to a positive 191,545 thousand US$ by 2023. After achieving a positive threshold in 2019, the economic profit experienced a minor contraction in 2020 before entering a period of accelerated growth from 2021 through 2023. The trend confirms that the return on invested capital increasingly exceeded the cost of capital, resulting in significant shareholder value creation.

The financial data reveals a consistent upward trend in both net income and net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) over the six-year period ending March 31, 2023. This indicates sustained profitability and operational efficiency improvements.
- Net Income
-
Net income exhibited significant growth from 114,394 thousand USD in 2018 to 516,822 thousand USD in 2023. This represents more than a fourfold increase over the period, underscoring strong earnings expansion. Notably, the largest annual increases appear between 2018 to 2019 and 2020 to 2021, suggesting episodes of accelerated profitability gains.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
-
NOPAT mirrored the net income trend, rising steadily from 130,421 thousand USD in 2018 to 502,935 thousand USD in 2023. The data suggests improved operational efficiency and tax management. The gap between net income and NOPAT is relatively consistent, implying a stable relationship between earnings and after-tax operating profit.
Overall, the upward trends in net income and NOPAT reflect positive financial performance, characterized by continuous growth and effective operating profit generation over the six-year span. This progression indicates successful management and potentially stronger market positioning.

The data reflects the annual figures for income tax expense and cash operating taxes over six fiscal years ending March 31 from 2018 through 2023.
- Income Tax Expense
-
The income tax expense exhibited a declining trend from 2018 to 2019, decreasing from approximately 106.3 million USD to 64.6 million USD. This lower level was maintained relatively stable into 2020. However, in fiscal year 2021, income tax expense increased significantly to about 119 million USD. After a slight decrease in 2022 to approximately 112.7 million USD, the figure increased again in 2023 to roughly 149.3 million USD, marking the highest value in the dataset.
- Cash Operating Taxes
-
Cash operating taxes followed a somewhat parallel but more volatile trajectory. There was a notable decrease from about 103 million USD in 2018 to roughly 59.9 million USD in 2019. In 2020, a minor increase to 63.2 million USD was observed, followed by a large jump to approximately 129.3 million USD in 2021. The increasing trend continued into 2022 with payments rising to around 141.7 million USD, and higher still in 2023 at approximately 158.1 million USD.
Overall, both income tax expense and cash operating taxes decreased significantly during the initial two-year period, reached a trough around 2019–2020, and then displayed a sharp upward trend starting in 2021 through 2023. The rise in both metrics during the later years suggests an increase in taxable income or changes in tax rates, tax policies, or the company’s tax planning strategies during this timeframe. The cash operating taxes consistently remain slightly lower than the income tax expense except for 2021 and 2022, where cash taxes exceeded the income tax expense, indicating possible timing differences or adjustments in tax provisions.

3 Addition of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
4 Addition of deferred revenue.
5 Addition of equity equivalents to stockholders’ equity.
6 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
7 Subtraction of construction in progress.
The financial data reveals several key trends in the company's capital structure and equity position over a six-year period ending March 31, 2023.
- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- The total debt and leases decreased from $308.6 million in 2018 to a low point of $222.1 million in 2022, indicating a significant reduction in leverage during that period. However, in 2023, this figure rose to $246.5 million, reflecting a partial reversal of the prior deleveraging trend.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrated consistent growth throughout the entire timeframe. Beginning at $940.8 million in 2018, it increased steadily each year, reaching $1.77 billion by 2023. This upward trajectory indicates sustained profitability and/or retained earnings accumulation, contributing to a strengthening equity base.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital, representing the total amount invested in the business from both equity and debt, also showed a persistent upward trend. It increased from $1.23 billion in 2018 to nearly $1.95 billion in 2023. This reflects not only the rise in equity but also ongoing capital investments or asset growth, with the company supporting expansion or operational needs through a combination of equity and debt financing.
Overall, the company has managed to grow its equity base substantially over the period while maintaining a moderate and somewhat fluctuating debt level. The partial increase in debt and leases in the most recent year suggests a potential strategic shift toward leveraging capital structure more actively after a period of deleveraging. The consistent growth in invested capital indicates ongoing investment in the business's long-term assets, supporting future growth prospects.

The financial performance between March 31, 2018, and March 31, 2023, indicates a transition from value destruction to consistent value creation. This period is characterized by a significant recovery in profitability and a steady expansion of the capital base, resulting in an overall improvement in capital efficiency.
- Economic Profit
- A negative economic profit of US$ 55.7 million was recorded in 2018, indicating that the returns were insufficient to cover the cost of capital. This trend reversed in 2019, with economic profit turning positive at US$ 78.1 million. Despite a slight decline to US$ 64.8 million in 2020, a strong upward trajectory followed, culminating in a peak of US$ 191.5 million by March 31, 2023.
- Invested Capital
- There is a consistent year-over-year increase in invested capital, rising from US$ 1.23 billion in 2018 to US$ 1.95 billion in 2023. This steady growth demonstrates a continuous scaling of the operational asset base to support expanding business activities.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio shifted from a negative 4.54% in 2018 to a positive 9.83% by 2023. After a temporary dip to 4.55% in 2020, the ratio expanded consistently, reflecting an increasing margin between the return on invested capital and the cost of that capital. This progression indicates that the organization has become increasingly effective at generating value relative to its investment scale.

The financial trajectory between 2018 and 2023 indicates a transition from negative economic value creation to a period of sustained growth and increasing efficiency. Initial value destruction observed in 2018 was followed by a recovery and a subsequent acceleration in both absolute economic profit and operational scale.
- Economic Profit Growth
- A significant reversal is evident between 2018 and 2019, where economic profit moved from a deficit of US$ 55.7 million to a surplus of US$ 78.1 million. Despite a slight contraction in 2020, the figure grew aggressively over the following three years, peaking at US$ 191.5 million by March 31, 2023. This trend reflects a consistent increase in the value generated beyond the company's cost of capital.
- Adjusted Net Sales Expansion
- Revenue growth remained positive and uninterrupted throughout the analyzed period. Adjusted net sales increased from US$ 1.9 billion in 2018 to US$ 3.6 billion in 2023. The pace of growth accelerated notably after 2020, with a substantial increase in sales volume contributing to the overall scaling of the business.
- Economic Profit Margin Analysis
- The economic profit margin reflects a recovery from -2.93% in 2018 to a peak of 5.28% in 2023. After an initial rebound in 2019 and a marginal decline to 3.04% in 2020, the margin entered a phase of steady expansion. The upward trend from 2021 through 2023 suggests that the increase in economic profit outpaced the growth in adjusted net sales, indicating enhanced capital efficiency and operational leverage.
