Delta AirlinesModules 4 and 5 Laura Conti
Delta Airlines • Delta has 18.6% of the market share in the domestic airline industry • Headquarters: Atlanta, Georgia • Annual passengers: greater than 160 million
Analysis • RNEA: Rate of return on capital invested in the enterprise activities • EPM: How profitable are the enterprise operations? • EATO: Are the enterprise resources being used efficiently?
Breaking Apart Return on NEA (RNEA) • RNEA = EPAT/avg (NEA) * Sales/Sales • RNEA = EPAT/Sales * Sales/avg (NEA) • RNEA= EPM * EATO • RNEA can be broken apart into two components: • EPM: indicates the profit generated by each dollar of sales (profitability) • EATO: indicates the sales generated by each dollar of NEA (efficiency)
Enterprise Profit Margin (EPM) • EPM: How profitable are enterprise operations? • Affected by gross profit (depends on product prices and manufacturing or purchase costs) • Affected by the level of enterprise expenses the firm needs to support its products or services (includes overhead costs such as wages, marketing, occupancy, etc) • Affected by the level of competition (product pricing) and ability to control costs • EPM = EPAT / Sales • Interpretation: For each dollar of sales, Delta earned 7.02 cents (2013) after all enterprise expenses and taxes
Enterprise Asset Turnover (EATO) • Measures the productivity of the firm’s enterprise assets • Reveals the level of sales the firm realizes from each dollar invested in enterprise assets • Can be increased by increasing sales for a given level of investment in enterprise assets or by reducing the amount of enterprise assets necessary to generate a dollar of sales • EATO = Sales / average (NEA) • Interpretation: For each dollar of enterprise assets employed, Delta generated $1.60 in sales during 2013
