Note: FY2022-FY2023 Group figures include Pluxee (Benefits & Rewards, spun off Feb 2024). FY2024+ reflects continuing operations only. The apparent margin "drop" from FY2023 (5.6%) to FY2024 (4.7%) is entirely due to losing Pluxee's 30%+ margin business from the blend.

DuPont ROE Decomposition (FY2024)

Net Profit Margin3.3%

Leverage-driven ROE. The 20% ROE flatters — it's primarily from a ~4x equity multiplier, not margin superiority. Thin 3.3% net margin is the weak link.
