Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= – × =
The financial performance from 2019 to 2023 indicates a period of significant operational growth that has yet to translate into positive economic value added. Despite a substantial increase in operating profits, the cost of maintaining and expanding the invested capital base has consistently exceeded the returns generated.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- A strong upward trajectory in NOPAT is observed beginning in 2021. After a slight decline between 2019 and 2020, NOPAT grew from 262,790 thousand dollars in 2020 to 2,073,654 thousand dollars by 2023. This growth represents a significant expansion in the company's ability to generate profit from its core operations.
- Invested Capital and Cost of Capital
- Invested capital has seen consistent growth, increasing from 6,857,500 thousand dollars in 2019 to 10,925,400 thousand dollars in 2023. During this same period, the cost of capital trended upward, rising from 19.50% in 2019 to a peak of 25.18% in 2022, before slightly moderating to 24.72% in 2023. The simultaneous increase in both the volume of capital employed and the rate of return required to justify that capital has placed substantial pressure on economic profitability.
- Economic Profit Analysis
- Economic profit remained negative for all five years analyzed, signifying that the company did not create economic value above its cost of capital. A recovery trend was evident between 2020 and 2022, where economic profit improved from -1,306,479 thousand dollars to -367,327 thousand dollars. However, this trend reversed in 2023, with economic profit widening to -626,737 thousand dollars. This suggests that the increase in invested capital during the final year exceeded the marginal growth in NOPAT, thereby eroding the gains made in capital efficiency during the preceding two years.

- Net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation
- The net income shows a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Starting from approximately 211.7 million US dollars in 2019, it increased modestly to 234.2 million in 2020. A significant jump occurred in 2021, with net income more than quadrupling to around 1.009 billion. This strong growth continued through 2022 and 2023, reaching about 1.902 billion and 2.184 billion US dollars respectively, indicating robust profitability improvement and operational performance over time.
- Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)
- NOPAT values display some fluctuations initially but then show a marked increase from 2021 onward. In 2019, NOPAT was approximately 340.6 million US dollars but declined to 262.8 million in 2020. Starting 2021, there was a substantial rise to around 1.214 billion US dollars. The upward trajectory continued into 2022 and 2023 with NOPAT reaching roughly 1.992 billion and 2.074 billion US dollars respectively. This pattern suggests improved operational efficiency and effective tax management contributing to growing operating profitability.

The financial data reveals notable fluctuations in both the provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes over the five-year period ending December 31, 2023.
- Provision (benefit) for income taxes
- This item shows significant volatility throughout the periods. In 2019, the provision was a positive value of 62,700 thousand US dollars, indicating income tax expense recognition for that year. In 2020, there was a reversal to a tax benefit of 59,800 thousand US dollars, suggesting the company recognized a tax benefit rather than an expense. Following this, 2021 experienced a sharp increase in tax provision to 146,600 thousand US dollars, more than doubling the 2019 figure. The upward trend continued markedly in 2022, reaching 458,400 thousand US dollars, the highest in the period under review. In 2023, the provision decreased somewhat to 350,200 thousand US dollars, although it remained substantially higher than the values reported in 2019 through 2021.
- Cash operating taxes
- Cash operating taxes demonstrate an overall increasing trend over the five years. Beginning at 79,994 thousand US dollars in 2019, the amount increased modestly to 90,557 thousand US dollars in 2020. In 2021, there was a slight decline to 84,769 thousand US dollars. However, a pronounced upward shift occurred in 2022, with cash operating taxes escalating dramatically to 457,073 thousand US dollars. This elevated level sustained into 2023 with a further slight increase to 470,018 thousand US dollars.
In summary, both the provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes experienced considerable growth from 2021 onwards, with particularly sharp increases in 2022 and 2023. The provision for income taxes fluctuated between an expense and a benefit in the early years but settled into a notably higher expense level in later years. The cash operating taxes overall trend upward, with a pronounced rise starting in 2022, possibly aligning with the increases in the provision for income taxes, indicating higher taxable income or changes in tax positions and payments during those years.

- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- The total reported debt and leases showed a decreasing trend from 3,726,500 thousand USD at the end of 2019 to 3,272,400 thousand USD at the end of 2021. However, this downward trend reversed in the subsequent years, increasing to 3,512,400 thousand USD in 2022 and further to 3,623,800 thousand USD in 2023. Overall, the debt levels exhibit a moderate fluctuation with a reduction phase followed by a gradual increase.
- Total ON Semiconductor Corporation Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders' equity demonstrated consistent and considerable growth over the five-year period. Starting at 3,301,700 thousand USD in 2019, equity increased steadily each year, reaching 7,782,600 thousand USD by 2023. This reflects strong capital accumulation and possibly retained earnings or equity issuances that enhanced the company's net worth significantly over time.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital showed a gradual upward trajectory throughout the period. Beginning at 6,857,500 thousand USD in 2019, it remained relatively stable through 2020 but increased notably to 7,560,500 thousand USD in 2021, followed by a sharper rise to 9,371,400 thousand USD in 2022 and 10,925,400 thousand USD in 2023. This trend indicates increasing investment in the company's operational assets, which may support business growth and expansion activities.

Analysis of the financial data from 2019 to 2023 reveals that the entity has consistently operated with a negative economic profit, indicating that the returns generated on invested capital have not exceeded the cost of that capital during this five-year period.
- Economic Profit Trends
- Economic profit remained negative throughout the observed period. A decline was noted between 2019 and 2020, with losses widening to a peak of -1,306,479 thousand US$. A subsequent recovery trend occurred through 2022, where economic profit improved to -367,327 thousand US$, before experiencing a reversal in 2023 to -626,737 thousand US$.
- Invested Capital Expansion
- There is a consistent upward trajectory in invested capital. Starting at 6,857,500 thousand US$ in 2019, the capital base grew steadily each year, reaching 10,925,400 thousand US$ by December 31, 2023. This represents a substantial increase in the total assets deployed in the business over the analyzed timeframe.
- Economic Spread Ratio Analysis
- The economic spread ratio, which measures the difference between the return on invested capital and the cost of capital, remained negative for all five years. The ratio deteriorated to its lowest point of -18.96% in 2020. A significant improvement trend followed, with the ratio narrowing to -8.00% in 2021 and reaching its highest level of -3.92% in 2022. However, this positive momentum was interrupted in 2023, as the ratio widened again to -5.74%.
Overall, while the growth in invested capital is evident, the company has not yet transitioned to positive economic value added. The improvement in the economic spread ratio observed between 2020 and 2022 suggests an increase in capital efficiency that was partially offset by the results recorded in 2023.

The analysis of economic value added metrics from 2019 to 2023 reveals a period of consistent negative economic profit, although the magnitude of these losses fluctuated significantly. While the organization failed to generate returns exceeding its cost of capital throughout the period, a notable trend of improvement was observed between 2020 and 2022, followed by a regression in 2023.
- Economic Profit Trends
- Economic profit reached its lowest point in 2020 at -1,306,479 thousand USD. A recovery phase ensued over the next two years, with losses narrowing to -605,139 thousand USD in 2021 and reaching a period high of -367,327 thousand USD in 2022. However, this upward trajectory reversed in 2023, as economic profit declined again to -626,737 thousand USD.
- Revenue Correlation
- Revenue exhibited a general upward trajectory, growing from 5,517,900 thousand USD in 2019 to a peak of 8,326,200 thousand USD in 2022. The period of maximum revenue growth between 2020 and 2022 coincided with the most significant reductions in economic losses, suggesting that increased scale contributed to improved value efficiency. The slight contraction in revenue to 8,253,000 thousand USD in 2023 aligned with the return to deeper economic losses.
- Economic Profit Margin Analysis
- The economic profit margin mirrored the volatility of the absolute economic profit. The margin deteriorated from -18.07% in 2019 to a trough of -24.86% in 2020. Subsequently, a strong recovery occurred, with the margin improving to -8.98% in 2021 and reaching its most efficient level of -4.41% in 2022. The 2023 fiscal year saw a decline in this margin to -7.59%, indicating a reduction in the efficiency of capital utilization relative to revenue generation.
