In the calculation of annual ROE %, the net income of the last fiscal year and the average total shareholder equity over the fiscal year are used. In calculating the quarterly data,
the net income data used here is four times the quarterly (Jun. 2016) net income data.

FEI Co (NAS:FEIC) ROE % Explanation
ROE % measures the rate of return on the ownership interest (shareholder's equity) of the common stock owners. It measures a firm's efficiency at generating profits from every unit of shareholders' equity (also known as net assets or assets minus liabilities). ROE % shows how well a company uses investment funds to generate earnings growth. ROE %s between 15% and 20% are considered desirable.
The factors that affect a company's ROE % can be illustrated with the three-step DuPont Analysis:
Note:
The net income data used here is four times the quarterly (Jun. 2016) net income data. The Revenue data used here is four times the quarterly (Jun. 2016) revenue data. The same rule applies to Pre-Tax Income and Operating Income.
* In the five-step DuPont Analysis, Operating Income is only available for non-financial companies. Thus, for Insurance companies, we use EBIT as a substitution of Operating Income. For Banks, both Operating Income and EBIT is unavailable. Thus we combined Interest Burden and Operating Margin % into Pretax Margin %, and the DuPont Analysis is divided into four components instead.
* For Operating Data section: All numbers are indicated by the unit behind each term and all currency related amount are in USD. * For other sections: All numbers are in millions except for per share data, ratio, and percentage. All currency related amount are indicated in the company's associated stock exchange currency.
Be Aware
Net Income is used.
Because a company can increase its ROE % by having more financial leverage, it is important to watch the equity multiplier when investing in high ROE % companies. Like ROA %, ROE % is calculated with only 12 months data. Fluctuations in company's earnings or business cycles can affect the ratio drastically. It is important to look at the ratio from a long term perspective.
Asset light businesses require very few assets to generate very high earnings. Their ROE %s can be extremely high.

FEI Co was founded and incorporated in Oregon in 1971. It is a supplier of scientific instruments and related services for nanoscale applications and solutions for industry and science. It designs, manufactures, and supports the high-performance microscopy workflows that provide images and answers in the micro-, nano-, and picometer scales. The Company operates in two segments including Industry Group and the Science Group. The Industry Group consists of customers in semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing and related industries such as manufacturers of data storage equipment and other technologies, as well as customers in the oil and gas industry. The tools developed for Industry Group customers are generally aimed at improving their processes to increase overall yields, whether in a semiconductor factory or at an oil and gas reservoir. For the semiconductor market, it shrinks line widths and process nodes of 16/14 nanometers and smaller, increasing complexity in their materials such as high-k metal gates and low-k dielectrics and increasing device complexity such as 3D transistor architectures; and this products are used in laboratories, near the fabrication line to speed new product development and increase yields by enabling 3D metrology for advanced process control, defect analysis, and root cause failure analysis. For the oil and gas market, its products are used to increase yields in oil and gas exploration and for laboratory analysis. It also provides support for products and customers for the entire life cycle of a tool from installation through the warranty period, and after the warranty period through contract coverage or on a time and materials basis. The Science Group includes universities, public and private research laboratories and customers in industries, including metals, automobiles, aerospace, geosciences and forensics. The tools developed for customers in the Science Group are generally aimed at the exploration and discovery of new materials and chemistries or solving for causes and cures of diseases. The tools are used in a laboratory and are generally not used in industrial applications. It also includes customers at universities, government laboratories and research institutes engaged in biotech and life sciences applications, as well as pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Its solutions enable scientific discovery and advancement for researchers and help manufacturers develop, analyze and produce advanced products. Its products are also used in root cause failure analysis and quality control applications across a range of industries. Its products' ultra-high resolution imaging allows structural biologists to create detailed 3D reconstructions of complex biological structures such as proteins and viruses. Cellular biologists use companies tools to correlate wide-field, lower resolution optical images with higher resolution electron microscope imaging. Its products are also used by drug researchers
