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

Two-Component Disaggregation of ROE

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., decomposition of ROE

Microsoft Excel
ROE = ROA × Financial Leverage
Dec 31, 2023 12.83% = 6.07% × 2.11
Dec 31, 2022 15.80% = 7.15% × 2.21
Dec 31, 2021 18.94% = 8.12% × 2.33
Dec 31, 2020 18.47% = 9.23% × 2.00
Dec 31, 2019 12.45% = 6.33% × 1.97

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31).

The primary reason for the decrease in return on equity ratio (ROE) over 2023 year is the decrease in profitability measured by return on assets ratio (ROA).
