What has to go right for WuXi AppTec, and what could go wrong?
THE POINT — The downside is a customer-access and utilization failure; the upside is a profitable TIDES and capacity-ramp success.
| October 2027 | October 2028 | October 2029 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA | 36,800 (25,200 / 39,500) | 45,300 (24,400 / 50,200) | 53,700 (25,800 / 61,700) |
| Shares (millions) | 3,040 (3,048 / 3,038) | 3,045 (3,061 / 3,041) | 3,050 (3,074 / 3,044) |
| Dividends per share | 2.40 (2.00 / 2.70) | 2.90 (1.80 / 3.50) | 3.40 (1.80 / 4.50) |
| Enterprise value to ebitda | 14.00 (11.00 / 16.00) | 14.50 (9.00 / 18.00) | 15.00 (8.00 / 20.00) |

What this means. The negative net debt means the company has more cash than borrowed money, so it has net cash rather than net debt.
How much cash does WuXi AppTec really make?
Capital spending shows the cost of the model. WuXi had years in which investment nearly absorbed operating cash, while the latest annual figure left considerable cash after capital spending, leases and interest. An analytical “real free cash flow” measure also deducts stock compensation. That is not another cash payment in the year, but it recognizes that paying employees with shares dilutes existing owners.
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash from operations | 16,426.299 | 11,986.812 | 12,641.222 | 10,229.705 | 4,378.705 |
| − Capital spending | 5,527.253 | 3,964.825 | 5,403.496 | 9,798.268 | 6,758.192 |
| − Interest paid | 93.448 | 202.826 | 106.709 | 68.991 | 23.164 |
| = Free cash flow | 10,601.315 | 7,524.708 | 6,817.014 | 126.992 | -2,648.586 |
| − Stock pay | 801.758 | 366.915 | 756.006 | 859.086 | 556.623 |
| = Real free cash flow | 9,799.557 | 7,157.793 | 6,061.008 | -732.094 | -3,205.209 |
What this means. The company's own free cash flow is higher because it adds back cash costs that our count subtracts, so the two numbers are not directly comparable.
