1 US$ in millions


Net Income (Loss)
The net income exhibited significant volatility over the period considered. Initially, there was a substantial loss of US$ -1,834 million at the end of 2013, which was followed by a strong recovery reaching a peak net income of US$ 7,610 million in 2015. Subsequently, net income declined but remained positive until 2019, indicating a relatively profitable period. In 2020, there was a drastic reversal to a loss of US$ -8,885 million, the largest loss in the dataset, most likely linked to extraordinary circumstances. The following years from 2021 to 2023 show gradual improvement, moving from losses towards positive net income, with US$ 822 million achieved in 2023, suggesting a recovery phase.
Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Stockholders’ equity also reflected considerable fluctuations. The company reported a deficit of US$ -2,731 million at the end of 2013, which turned into positive equity in 2014 and increased steadily to US$ 5,635 million in 2015. Thereafter, equity declined, turning negative again in 2018 and further decreasing to US$ -6,867 million by the end of 2020. Following 2020, equity showed a moderate improvement but remained negative through 2023, ending at US$ -5,202 million. This trend indicates ongoing financial challenges affecting the shareholders' net position, although there is some recuperation after the substantial dip in 2020.
Return on Equity (ROE)
The company's ROE demonstrated exceptionally high values in the years with positive equity and net income, peaking above 135% in 2015 and remaining elevated through 2017. The absence of data for later years is likely due to the negative equity position, which inhibits meaningful ROE calculation. The sharp reduction in ROE after 2017 and lack of subsequent data correspond with periods of financial instability and losses, underscoring the impact of equity deficits on profitability metrics.
Summary of Trends
The period from 2013 to 2017 was characterized by financial recovery and profitability, with rising net income and positive shareholders’ equity, reflected in strong ROE figures. The years following 2017 show increased financial distress, culminating in a significant loss and deep equity deficit by 2020. Starting from 2021, both net income and equity exhibit signs of improvement, suggesting strategic or operational measures may be contributing to financial restoration. However, continued negative equity indicates that full financial recovery has not yet been achieved.
