- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The NOPAT exhibited a general decline from 2018 to 2020, falling from approximately $591.7 million to $403.3 million. However, it showed a recovery trend thereafter, increasing to around $458.4 million in 2021 and reaching $597.8 million in 2022, surpassing the initial 2018 value. This indicates a significant resurgence in operating profitability after a period of contraction.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital displayed a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Beginning at 12.79% in 2018, it steadily rose each year, reaching 14.32% by 2022. This gradual increase suggests a rising cost of financing or increased risk premiums associated with the company's capital structure or market conditions.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital remained relatively stable from 2018 to 2021, fluctuating narrowly between approximately $4.21 billion and $4.33 billion. There was a slight increase to $4.50 billion in 2022. This modest growth in invested capital reflects a conservative approach to asset investment or capital allocation during the period.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit, representing the surplus of NOPAT over the cost of capital charges on invested capital, showed a pronounced decline over the same timeframe. From a positive $53.6 million in 2018, economic profit dropped sharply into negative territory starting in 2019 and remained negative through 2022. Although the negative economic profit lessened by 2022 to approximately -$47.1 million from a low of around -$175.8 million in 2020, it did not return to positive, indicating continued challenges in generating returns above the cost of capital despite the rebound in operating profit.
- Summary
- The data reflects a company that experienced declining operational profitability and rising capital costs initially between 2018 to 2020, leading to sustained negative economic profits during that timeframe. Despite the recovery in operating profit in 2021 and 2022 and stable invested capital levels, the elevated cost of capital contributed to continued value destruction as measured by economic profit. The overall pattern underscores the importance of managing capital efficiency and cost structures to restore value creation.

However, there was a decline in 2020 to 351,200 thousand US dollars, followed by a recovery to 399,500 thousand US dollars in 2021. In 2022, the net income rose significantly to 545,900 thousand US dollars, marking the highest value in the series and indicating improved profitability in that year.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The net operating profit after taxes declined from 591,651 thousand US dollars in 2018 to 472,549 thousand US dollars in 2019 and further to 403,273 thousand US dollars in 2020, showing a downward trend in operating profitability over these three years. This trend reversed in 2021 with an increase to 458,435 thousand US dollars, followed by a substantial rise to 597,801 thousand US dollars in 2022, reaching the highest level in the period assessed. This recovery suggests a notable improvement in operating efficiency and profitability in the most recent year examined.

The data reveals fluctuations in the tax-related financial items over the five-year period ending in 2022.
- Provision for Income Taxes
- The provision for income taxes showed a general pattern of variability. Starting at 100,900 thousand USD in 2018, it increased to 113,100 thousand USD in 2019. This was followed by a decline to 97,500 thousand USD in 2020 and a further decrease to 88,200 thousand USD in 2021. However, in 2022, there was a significant rise to 140,200 thousand USD, marking the highest value in the observed period.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes displayed notable volatility across the years. The amount nearly doubled from 67,810 thousand USD in 2018 to 122,697 thousand USD in 2019. It then decreased to 107,537 thousand USD in 2020 and further declined to 90,971 thousand USD in 2021. The year 2022 saw a sharp increase to 179,191 thousand USD, the peak in the given timeline.
Overall, both provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes exhibit significant fluctuations year-over-year. Despite some declines in the intermediate years, each ended with considerable increases in 2022. This indicates possible changes in taxable income, tax rates, or tax planning strategies influencing tax expenses during the most recent year compared to the previous years.

- Total Reported Debt & Leases
-
The total reported debt and leases exhibited a declining trend from 2018 to 2021, decreasing from approximately 1,892,035 thousand USD in 2018 to 1,530,600 thousand USD in 2021. This reflects a reduction in debt levels over the four-year period. However, in 2022, there was a slight increase to 1,558,000 thousand USD, indicating a modest rise after several years of decline.
- Total Hubbell Incorporated Shareholders’ Equity
-
Shareholders’ equity consistently increased throughout the period, starting from around 1,780,600 thousand USD in 2018 and reaching 2,360,900 thousand USD by the end of 2022. This steady growth suggests improving net assets and potentially increased retained earnings or capital contributions over time.
- Invested Capital
-
Invested capital showed modest fluctuations but generally trended upward over the observed years. Starting at roughly 4,206,535 thousand USD in 2018, it remained relatively stable until 2021 with small variances, then increased notably to 4,504,100 thousand USD in 2022. This reflects an overall growth in the capital invested in the company’s operations, possibly supporting expansion or increased asset base.
- Summary of Trends
-
The data reveal a conservative approach to debt management, with a reduction in total debt and leases for most of the period and only a slight uptick in the final year. Concurrently, the steady rise in shareholders’ equity highlights strengthening financial resilience and an increasing cushion for creditors. The invested capital’s gradual growth aligns with a broader investment or reinvestment strategy supporting the company’s operational and strategic objectives. Collectively, these trends suggest a focus on financial stability combined with measured growth.

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit shows a declining trend over the five-year period. It started positively at 53,617 thousand US dollars in 2018 but turned negative in 2019 with a loss of 88,897 thousand US dollars. The negative trend deepened in 2020 reaching a low of -175,753 thousand US dollars. In 2021, there was a slight improvement, though the value remained substantially negative at -134,180 thousand US dollars. By 2022, the economic profit loss narrowed further to -47,096 thousand US dollars, indicating some recovery but still no return to profitability.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital has exhibited a generally increasing trend over the period. Starting from approximately 4,206,535 thousand US dollars at the end of 2018, it slightly increased to 4,209,500 thousand US dollars in 2019. This was followed by a more noticeable rise to 4,325,800 thousand US dollars in 2020, then a slight dip to 4,298,100 thousand US dollars in 2021. The invested capital increased again in 2022 to 4,504,100 thousand US dollars, showing overall growth in the company’s invested resources despite minor fluctuations.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio has also reflected a negative shift over the years. Beginning at a positive 1.27% in 2018, it fell sharply into negative territory by 2019 at -2.11%. This negative trend intensified in 2020, plunging to -4.06%, followed by a slight improvement to -3.12% in 2021. By 2022, the ratio improved further but remained negative at -1.05%. This indicates persistent challenges in generating returns above the cost of capital during this timeframe.

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit exhibits a notable downward trend from 2018 to 2020, moving from a positive value of 53,617 thousand USD in 2018 to a significant negative figure of -175,753 thousand USD in 2020. Although there is a gradual improvement from 2020 onwards, the values remain negative through 2022, reaching -47,096 thousand USD. This indicates a period of economic value destruction after 2018, with partial recovery but persistent losses thereafter.
- Adjusted Net Sales
- Adjusted net sales show some fluctuation during the period under review. Sales increased slightly from 4,499,200 thousand USD in 2018 to 4,594,300 thousand USD in 2019, followed by a decline to 4,185,900 thousand USD in 2020. The sales figure remains relatively stable in 2021 at 4,181,000 thousand USD, but experiences a significant rebound in 2022, rising sharply to 4,977,000 thousand USD. This suggests the company faced sales challenges through 2020 and 2021 but returned to growth in 2022.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin correlates with the economic profit trend. Initially positive at 1.19% in 2018, it turns negative in 2019 at -1.93%, worsening to -4.20% in 2020. It slightly improves to -3.21% in 2021 and further to -0.95% in 2022 but remains below zero throughout this period, indicating continued inability to generate returns above the cost of capital despite slight progress after 2020.
