The financial data indicates a generally positive trend in both current assets and adjusted current assets over the observed periods. Current assets increased from approximately $132.7 billion as of December 31, 2020, to nearly $190.9 billion by December 31, 2024. This growth reflects a consistent upward movement with minor fluctuations, suggesting improvement in liquidity or asset base.

Adjusted current assets follow a similar increasing pattern, starting at about $133.8 billion in 2020 and rising steadily to roughly $192.9 billion by the end of 2024. The adjusted values remain close to the reported current assets, indicating that the adjustments applied do not significantly deviate from the reported figures but still show incremental growth each year.

Current Assets
Show a stable upward trajectory over the five-year period. There is a notable increase between 2020 and 2021, a slight dip in 2022, followed by a recovery and further growth in subsequent years.
Adjusted Current Assets
Exhibit a very close pattern to current assets with values slightly higher each year, reinforcing the same trend of gradual and consistent growth.

This overall increase in both current and adjusted current assets suggests strengthening liquidity and an expanding asset base, which could support operational needs and short-term financial obligations more effectively over time.

The financial data reveals a consistent upward trend in both total assets and adjusted total assets over the five-year period ending December 31, 2024. Total assets have shown steady growth each year, increasing from 321,195 million US dollars in 2020 to 624,894 million US dollars in 2024. This represents a near doubling in asset size over the period.

Adjusted total assets follow a similar trajectory, starting at 322,295 million US dollars in 2020 and rising to 610,929 million US dollars in 2024. Although the adjusted total assets appear slightly lower than the reported total assets in some years, the gap between the two values remains relatively consistent, indicating stable adjustments relative to the company's total assets.

The year-over-year increments demonstrate accelerated asset growth particularly after 2021, with a noticeable increase in total assets from approximately 420,549 million US dollars in 2021 to 624,894 million US dollars in 2024. This suggests significant investment, acquisition, or expansion activities contributing to asset accumulation.

Overall, the data reflects a robust expansion in asset base, with both reported and adjusted assets increasing substantially each year. The parallel growth in adjusted assets implies that the company's financial reporting adjustments remain proportionate despite the asset growth, supporting consistency in asset valuation methods across the period analyzed.

Current Liabilities
The current liabilities exhibit a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Starting at $126,385 million in 2020, the amount rises steadily each year, reaching $179,431 million by 2024. This represents a significant increase, indicating growing short-term financial obligations.
Adjusted Current Liabilities
Similarly, adjusted current liabilities demonstrate a steady increase from $116,677 million in 2020 to $161,328 million in 2024. Although the adjusted figures are consistently lower than the reported current liabilities, the overall upward trajectory parallels that of the current liabilities, suggesting that after adjustments, the company’s short-term liabilities are also increasing at a similar pace.
Comparative Analysis
The difference between current liabilities and adjusted current liabilities remains relatively proportional over the years, implying that the adjustments applied are consistent across the periods analyzed. The steady increases in both metrics indicate an expansion in the company's short-term financial commitments, which may necessitate monitoring to ensure liquidity remains adequate.

Total Liabilities
The total liabilities show a consistent upward trend throughout the analyzed periods. Starting at 227,791 million USD at the end of 2020, the amount increased steadily to reach 338,924 million USD by the end of 2024. The year-over-year growth, although varying in magnitude, indicates a continual accumulation of liabilities.
Adjusted Total Liabilities
Adjusted total liabilities also display a similar increasing pattern over the five-year span. Beginning at 215,317 million USD in 2020, the adjusted figure rose progressively to 314,321 million USD by the end of 2024. This trend aligns with the movement in total liabilities but remains consistently lower, reflecting adjustments that reduce the nominal liability figures.
Comparative Insights
The difference between total liabilities and adjusted total liabilities narrows slightly over time, which may suggest a reduction in the size or impact of the adjustments applied. Both metrics exhibit stable growth, indicating that liabilities continue to expand but with a steady relationship between gross and adjusted values. This pattern may reflect ongoing operational or financing strategies that lead to increased borrowing or deferred obligations.

Stockholders’ Equity Trends
The data indicates a consistent and substantial increase in stockholders’ equity over the five-year period. Beginning at approximately 93.4 billion US dollars at the end of 2020, stockholders’ equity rose sharply to around 138.2 billion in 2021. Subsequent years showed continued growth with figures reaching 146 billion in 2022, then a notable jump to nearly 201.9 billion in 2023, and further expanding to about 286 billion by the end of 2024. This upward trajectory highlights a strong enhancement in the company's net asset base, suggesting robust financial health and potentially effective capital management or retained earnings growth.
Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity Trends
Adjusted stockholders’ equity mirrors the growth pattern observed in the unadjusted equity, starting from approximately 107 billion US dollars in 2020 and increasing to about 153.9 billion in 2021. Growth continues steadily to 156.1 billion in 2022, with a more pronounced increase to 211.3 billion in 2023, and subsequently reaching nearly 296.6 billion by the end of 2024. The adjustment appears to consistently add value over the reported stockholders’ equity, potentially reflecting the inclusion of additional comprehensive income or other adjustments that enhance the equity base.
Comparative Insights
Both stockholders’ equity and adjusted stockholders’ equity show a clear upward trend across the entire period. The gap between adjusted and unadjusted equity remains relatively stable in proportional terms, suggesting that the adjustments made each year are consistent in magnitude relative to the reported equity amount. The rising figures reflect strengthening capitalization which may provide greater capacity for investment and resilience against financial stress.

Total reported debt
There was a consistent increase in total reported debt from 2020 to 2022, peaking at 85,932 million US dollars in 2022. This was followed by a decline over the next two years, decreasing to 68,242 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This suggests a reduction in leverage or repayment of obligations in the recent period.
Stockholders' equity
Stockholders' equity demonstrated a strong upward trend throughout the entire period, more than tripling from 93,404 million US dollars in 2020 to 285,970 million US dollars in 2024. This indicates substantial growth in the company's net assets and possibly retained earnings or capital injections.
Total reported capital
Total reported capital, comprising debt and equity, increased steadily every year from 154,809 million US dollars in 2020 to 354,212 million US dollars in 2024. The growth in total capital reflects expansion in the overall financing resources of the company.
Adjusted total debt
The adjusted total debt figures were significantly higher than the reported debt, starting at 100,504 million US dollars in 2020 and peaking at 154,972 million US dollars in 2022. After that, there was a slight decline to 147,838 million US dollars by 2024. The adjustment indicates additional debt obligations not captured in the reported debt, following a similar trend of rise and partial reduction.
Adjusted stockholders' equity
Adjusted stockholders' equity showed a continuous increase, growing from 106,978 million US dollars in 2020 to 296,608 million US dollars in 2024. This growth pattern corresponds closely with the reported equity figures, suggesting the company's underlying equity position strengthened over the years.
Adjusted total capital
Adjusted total capital increased consistently over the period, from 207,482 million US dollars in 2020 up to 444,446 million US dollars in 2024. The magnitude and growth rate were higher than those of the reported total capital, reflecting the inclusion of additional adjustments. This points towards an increasing scale of overall capital base when considering off-balance sheet or other adjustments.

Adjusted Net Sales
Adjusted net sales exhibit a similar growth pattern to net sales, starting at 387,482 million USD in 2020 and increasing to 641,635 million USD by 2024. The adjusted figures remain slightly higher than the reported net sales each year, suggesting minor accounting adjustments or reclassifications that positively impact the revenue figures without altering the overall growth trend.
Trend Insights
The parallel increase in both net sales and adjusted net sales over the period signals robust business performance and effective management of revenue streams. The rate of growth appears relatively stable with no significant fluctuations or declines, indicating resilience and consistent operational efficiency.

Net Income (Loss)
The net income shows significant variability across the analyzed years. It increased from 21,331 million US dollars in 2020 to 33,364 million in 2021, indicating a strong growth phase. However, a notable decline occurred in 2022, with the value turning negative to -2,722 million, reflecting a loss during that period. Following this downturn, the company experienced a robust recovery, reporting positive net income of 30,425 million in 2023. This upward trajectory continued sharply into 2024, reaching 59,248 million, the highest value in the five-year span.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
The adjusted net income follows a similar pattern to the net income but with some differences in magnitude. Beginning at 23,383 million US dollars in 2020, there was again growth to 34,277 million in 2021. The adjusted figure also reflects a downturn in 2022, with a significant loss of -11,581 million, which is more severe than the net income loss reported. Recovery is evident afterward, rising to 31,096 million in 2023 and further increasing to 61,582 million in 2024, surpassing net income values and indicating better performance after accounting for adjustments.
General Observations
The data reveals a volatile period in 2022, with the only negative results across the five years for both net and adjusted net income. The steep recovery in subsequent years suggests effective strategic or operational interventions. By 2024, both metrics reach historic highs relative to the provided time frame. The adjusted net income figures imply that some special items or accounting adjustments notably impacted reported earnings, especially during the loss year. Overall, the company's financial profitability demonstrates resilience and considerable growth after temporary setbacks.
