Working Capital ratio was 0.12 times This ratio measures the company's sales generated per unit of working capital A higher Sales to Working Capital ratio suggests that the company is generating more sales per unit of working capital, potentially indicating more efficient utilization of its working capital In 2022, the Sales to Working Capital ratio increased to 0.13 times This indicates a slight improvement in the company's ability to generate sales relative to its working capital The increase in the ratio suggests that the company may have been able to generate more sales using the same or slightly increased amount of working capital It is important to note that the Sales to Working Capital ratio is just one measure of efficiency and should be considered in conjunction with other financial metrics While the increase in the ratio from 2021 to 2022 indicates a slight improvement, further analysis is required to understand the underlying factors driving this change 28 A higher Sales to Working Capital ratio can be indicative of effective working capital management, such as optimizing inventory levels, streamlining operations, improving collections from customers, or managing accounts payable effectively However, it's also possible that external factors, such as changes in market demand or pricing, may have influenced the ratio 2.2 Long-term debt-paying ability of

company's ability to cover its interest expenses The increase in the ratio suggests that the company generated more operating income relative to its interest costs, indicating improved profitability and financial stability It demonstrates the company's capacity to manage its debt obligations and suggests a lower risk of defaulting on interest payments 29 Recurring Earnings, Excluding Interest Expense, Tax Expense, Equity Earnings, and Noncontrolling Interest + Interets Portion of Rentals Fixed Charge Coverage = Interest Expense, Including Capitalized Interest + Interest Portion of Rentals

the ratio suggests that the company has reduced its level of debt and/or increased its total assets, resulting in a lower proportion of debt in its capital structure It suggests an improved financial position with potentially lower financial risk and a healthier balance between debt and equity Debt/Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities Shareholders' Equity Debt/Equity Ratio for 2021 = Debt/Equity Ratio for 2022 = 7,249,555,305,009 12,401,758,380,461 6,870,450,939,076 13,594,087,341,278 x100 = 58.46% x100 = 50.54% 30 In 2021, the Debt/Equity Ratio was 58.46% The Debt/Equity Ratio measures the

company may have paid off a portion of its debt, increased its equity, or both The decrease in the Debt/Equity Ratio from 2021 to 2022 likely signifies a reduction in the company's overall debt burden It suggests improved financial stability and a healthier balance between debt and equity in the company's capital structure Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio = For 2021 = For 2022 = Total Liabilities Shareholders' Equity - Intangible Assets 7,249,555,305,009 12,401,758,380,461 - 24,620,088,223 6,870,450,939,076 13,594,087,341,278 - 32,805,520,925 x100 = 58.57% x100 = 50.67% In 2021, the Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio was 58.57% This ratio measures the proportion of a company's total debt to its tangible net worth A higher Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio suggests a higher level of debt in relation to tangible net worth, indicating a higher financial risk In 2022, the Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio decreased to 50.67% This indicates a lower level of debt relative to tangible net worth and a decrease in the company's reliance on debt financing The decrease in the ratio suggests that the company has either reduced its debt or increased its tangible net worth, or a combination of both 31 Overall, the decrease in the Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio from 2021 to 2022 indicates a reduction in the company's debt relative to its tangible net worth It suggests an improved financial position with lower financial risk and a healthier balance between debt and tangible assets 2.3 Profitability of FPT Corporation Net Income Before Noncontrolling Interest, Equity Income and

651.40% The Net Profit Margin is a profitability ratio that measures the company's net profit as a percentage of its total revenue In 2021, the Net Profit Margin was 730.56% A higher Net Profit Margin

margin, suggesting a lower level of profit as a percentage of its total revenue The decrease in the margin indicates that the company's profitability has declined FPT Corporation is the parent company, so income mainly comes from financial income, including dividends from subsidiaries and associates companies, while net sales from business activities are low, so Net profit margin ratio in this case is very high Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales Average Total Assets 32 Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 2021 2022 401,008,821,298 478,223,867,884 16,604,172,723,297 19,651,313,685,470

decrease in Return on Assets and take appropriate actions to improve profitability and asset utilization By effectively managing its resources, controlling costs, and maximizing revenue potential, the company can work towards improving its Return on Assets DuPont Return on Assets Year Return on Assets = Net Profit Margin x Total Asset Turnover 2021 16.16% = 730.56% x 0.022 2022 15.53% = 651.40% x
