Beginner level

Decomposing ROE involves expressing net income divided by shareholders’ equity as the product of component ratios.

Two-Component Disaggregation of ROE

Lowe’s Cos. Inc., decomposition of ROE

Microsoft Excel LibreOffice Calc
ROE = ROA × Financial Leverage
Feb 1, 2019 = ×
Feb 2, 2018 = ×
Feb 3, 2017 = ×
Jan 29, 2016 = ×
Jan 30, 2015 = ×
Jan 31, 2014 = ×

Based on: 10-K (filing date: 2019-04-02), 10-K (filing date: 2018-04-02), 10-K (filing date: 2017-04-04), 10-K (filing date: 2016-03-29), 10-K (filing date: 2015-03-31), 10-K (filing date: 2014-03-31).

The primary reason for the increase in return on equity ratio (ROE) over 2019 year is the increase in financial leverage ratio.

Three-Component Disaggregation of ROE

Lowe’s Cos. Inc., decomposition of ROE

Microsoft Excel LibreOffice Calc
ROE = Net Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Financial Leverage
Feb 1, 2019 = × ×

Jan 31, 2014 = × ×

Based on: 10-K (filing date: 2019-04-02), 10-K (filing date: 2018-04-02), 10-K (filing date: 2017-04-04), 10-K (filing date: 2016-03-29), 10-K (filing date: 2015-03-31), 10-K (filing date: 2014-03-31).

The primary reason for the increase in return on equity ratio (ROE) over 2019 year is the increase in financial leverage ratio.

Five-Component Disaggregation of ROE

Feb 3, 2017 = × × × ×
Jan 29, 2016 = × × × ×
Jan 30, 2015 = × × × ×
Jan 31, 2014 = × × × ×

Based on: 10-K (filing date: 2019-04-02), 10-K (filing date: 2018-04-02), 10-K (filing date: 2017-04-04), 10-K (filing date: 2016-03-29), 10-K (filing date: 2015-03-31), 10-K (filing date: 2014-03-31).

The primary reason for the increase in return on equity ratio (ROE) over 2019 year is the increase in financial leverage ratio.

Two-Component Disaggregation of ROA
