Economic profit = NOPAT – Cost of capital × Invested capital
= – × =
The financial trajectory from 2019 to 2023 is characterized by a significant expansion in operating profitability, which has been insufficient to offset the high cost of the capital employed. Although the organization has moved closer to generating positive economic value since 2020, economic profit has remained consistently negative across the five-year period.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- A substantial upward trend in NOPAT is observed, growing from 340,562 thousand US$ in 2019 to 2,073,654 thousand US$ by 2023. The most aggressive growth occurred between 2020 and 2022, where profits increased more than sevenfold, indicating a strong improvement in operational efficiency and revenue generation.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital has remained elevated and exhibited a general upward trend, rising from 19.41% in 2019 to a peak of 25.05% in 2022, before slightly moderating to 24.60% in 2023. This high percentage creates a substantial financial hurdle for the generation of positive economic value.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital has expanded steadily throughout the period, increasing from 6,857,500 thousand US$ in 2019 to 10,925,400 thousand US$ in 2023. This growth reflects ongoing investment in the business infrastructure, though it simultaneously increases the absolute dollar amount of the capital charge.
- Economic Profit Performance
- Despite the growth in NOPAT, economic profit remained negative throughout the analysis period. A recovery trend was visible from 2020 to 2022, with the deficit narrowing from -1,298,950 thousand US$ to -355,957 thousand US$. However, in 2023, economic profit declined to -613,651 thousand US$. This reversal suggests that the growth in invested capital and the high cost of capital in 2023 outweighed the modest gains in NOPAT, preventing the transition to a positive economic value added state.

- 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.

The financial trajectory between 2019 and 2023 is characterized by a consistent expansion of the capital base alongside a persistent failure to generate positive economic profit. While there was a notable trend toward narrowing the economic deficit between 2020 and 2022, the most recent figures indicate a reversal of that improvement, with economic value continuing to be eroded.
- Invested Capital Trends
- A sustained upward trend in invested capital is evident, rising from 6.86 billion US dollars in 2019 to 10.93 billion US dollars by 2023. This growth accelerated significantly after 2021, reflecting an aggressive increase in the company's asset base and capital deployment over the final two years of the period.
- Economic Profit Analysis
- Economic profit remained negative throughout the entire duration, indicating that returns did not exceed the cost of capital. The deficit deepened from 990.72 million US dollars in 2019 to a peak loss of 1.30 billion US dollars in 2020. A recovery period followed, with losses narrowing to 355.96 million US dollars by 2022, before expanding again to 613.65 million US dollars in 2023.
- Economic Spread Ratio Interpretation
- The economic spread ratio mirrored the volatility of the economic profit, remaining in negative territory. The ratio reached its lowest point in 2020 at -18.85%, signaling the widest gap between actual returns and the required cost of capital. A substantial recovery was observed through 2022, where the ratio improved to -3.80%, its most favorable level during the period. However, the ratio deteriorated to -5.62% in 2023, suggesting a decline in the efficiency of the invested capital relative to the cost of financing.

The analysis of economic value added indicates that the company operated with a negative economic profit consistently from 2019 through 2023, signifying that returns did not exceed the company's cost of capital during this period. However, the data reveals a distinct cycle of deterioration, recovery, and a subsequent slight decline.
- Economic Profit Trajectory
- Economic profit reached its lowest point in 2020, with a loss of 1,298,950 thousand US dollars. A significant recovery trend followed, with losses narrowing to 596,354 thousand US dollars in 2021 and reaching a five-year peak of -355,957 thousand US dollars in 2022. This upward trend reversed in 2023, as the economic loss widened again to 613,651 thousand US dollars.
- Revenue Growth and Correlation
- Revenue showed a general upward trend, increasing from 5,517,900 thousand US dollars in 2019 to a peak of 8,326,200 thousand US dollars in 2022. The period of strongest revenue growth between 2020 and 2022 coincided with the most significant improvements in economic profit, suggesting that increased scale contributed to better capital efficiency during those years. Revenue remained relatively flat in 2023 at 8,253,000 thousand US dollars.
- Economic Profit Margin Performance
- The economic profit margin mirrored the absolute profit trends, dropping to -24.72% in 2020. A substantial improvement was observed over the next two years, with the margin rising to -8.85% in 2021 and reaching its highest level of -4.28% in 2022. The margin deteriorated to -7.44% in 2023, indicating a decrease in the efficiency of generating value relative to total revenue.
