The annual financial data reveals notable fluctuations in both current assets and adjusted current assets over the six-year period.

Current Assets

The current assets showed a steady increase from 1,985,126 thousand US dollars in 2019 to a peak of 5,378,317 thousand US dollars in 2021, indicating significant growth during this period. However, there was a decline in the subsequent two years, falling to 4,938,992 thousand in 2022 and further to 4,384,022 thousand in 2023. The value rebounded in 2024 to 5,484,654 thousand, surpassing the previous peak. This pattern suggests a period of expansion followed by a temporary contraction and then recovery.

Adjusted Current Assets

The adjusted current assets closely follow the trend of current assets, with values slightly higher or nearly equal for each year. Starting at 1,993,513 thousand in 2019 and reaching 5,381,975 thousand in 2021, the adjusted figures also declined to 4,942,563 thousand in 2022 and 4,386,785 thousand in 2023 before increasing to 5,491,814 thousand in 2024. This alignment indicates consistency between the reported and adjusted figures, reinforcing the observed trends in liquidity and short-term resources.

Overall, both current and adjusted current assets experienced growth early in the period, followed by a downturn and subsequent recovery. The values for 2024 suggest a positive outlook in terms of liquidity, exceeding previous highs. The close similarity between current and adjusted current assets indicates reliability in the adjustment process and stable reporting practices.

The analysis of the annual data for the specified periods reveals the following trends regarding total assets and adjusted total assets:

Total Assets

The total assets exhibited a steady level around 21.4 billion US dollars from 2019 to 2020. In 2021, there was a significant increase to approximately 52.3 billion US dollars, more than doubling the previous year's figure. However, from 2021 onward, a gradual decline is evident, with total assets decreasing to roughly 48.2 billion US dollars by 2024. This indicates a peak in asset accumulation in 2021 followed by a period of asset reduction.

Adjusted Total Assets

Adjusted total assets followed a similar pattern to total assets. From 2019 to 2020, the values remained relatively stable at about 20.2 billion and 19.97 billion dollars respectively. Like total assets, adjusted assets surged considerably in 2021, reaching approximately 50.1 billion dollars. Subsequently, there was a consistent decrease each year, culminating in about 46.2 billion dollars in 2024. This suggests that the adjustments applied to total assets reflect the overall trend closely but consistently present slightly lower values.

Overall, both total assets and adjusted total assets display a marked increase in 2021 before a downward trend over the following three years. The rise in 2021 may indicate an acquisition, revaluation, or significant capital investment during that period, whereas the subsequent decline could be attributed to asset disposals, depreciation, or restructuring efforts. The adjusted total assets closely mirror the movements in total assets, highlighting consistent adjustment factors over the examined years.

The annual financial data reveals notable fluctuations in both current liabilities and adjusted current liabilities over the six-year period analyzed.

Current Liabilities

Current liabilities experienced a decrease from 1,508,632 thousand US dollars in 2019 to 1,364,986 thousand US dollars in 2020, indicating a reduction in short-term obligations during that year. This was followed by a sharp increase to 2,770,312 thousand US dollars in 2021, representing a significant rise in liabilities. In 2022, current liabilities slightly decreased to 2,442,655 thousand US dollars but rebounded to 3,200,971 thousand US dollars in 2023. The latest figure in 2024 shows a modest decrease to 2,988,280 thousand US dollars. Overall, the trend reflects substantial variability with an upward trajectory beginning in 2021.

Adjusted Current Liabilities

Adjusted current liabilities mirrored the trends observed in current liabilities closely. Beginning at 1,444,214 thousand US dollars in 2019, there was a decline to 1,295,547 thousand US dollars in 2020. A significant surge occurred in 2021 when adjusted current liabilities rose to 2,723,473 thousand US dollars. Subsequent years showed a decrease to 2,387,956 thousand US dollars in 2022, followed by an increase to 3,076,680 thousand US dollars in 2023, and a slight reduction to 2,973,708 thousand US dollars in 2024. This consistent movement indicates that adjustments made to current liabilities did not substantially alter the overall trend.

In summary, the data indicates a period of initial reduction in liabilities during 2020, succeeded by substantial increases from 2021 onwards, with some minor declines in the most recent years. The parallel movement of adjusted current liabilities suggests that any adjustments have maintained the general pattern of growth in short-term obligations, which could imply increased operational or financing activities leading to higher current liabilities within this timeframe.

The analysis of the annual financial data reveals notable trends regarding the company's liabilities over the examined periods.

Total Liabilities

The total liabilities exhibit fluctuation across the years. Initially, there is a slight decrease from approximately 9.68 billion US dollars in 2019 to around 9.47 billion in 2020. This is followed by a significant increase, reaching about 14.33 billion in 2021. Subsequent periods show a gradual reduction in total liabilities, declining to approximately 13.84 billion in 2022, then to 13.23 billion in 2023, and further to about 13.05 billion in 2024.

Adjusted Total Liabilities

The adjusted total liabilities demonstrate a similar trend with initial reduction, followed by an increase, and then a gradual decrease. The figures go from approximately 7.91 billion in 2019 down to roughly 7.48 billion in 2020. In 2021, they increase significantly to about 10.34 billion. Afterward, there is a slight decline to approximately 10.16 billion in 2022 and 9.95 billion in 2023, followed by a slight increase to around 10.41 billion in 2024.

Overall, the data suggest that while there was a notable surge in both total and adjusted liabilities in 2021, the company has been managing to reduce its liabilities in subsequent years, albeit with some minor fluctuations. The adjusted total liabilities tend to be consistently lower than the total liabilities, which may reflect adjustments for non-current or non-operational liabilities. The recent slight increase in adjusted liabilities in 2024 warrants continued monitoring to understand its implications on the company's financial stability.

Shareholders’ Equity

Over the six-year period from 2019 to 2024, the shareholders' equity exhibited notable fluctuations. Initially, there was a modest increase from approximately 11.71 billion USD in 2019 to nearly 12.00 billion USD in 2020. Subsequently, a significant surge occurred in 2021, with equity reaching nearly 38 billion USD. After that peak, a downward trend was observed through 2022 to 2024, with equity declining gradually to approximately 35.18 billion USD by 2024. This suggests a period of rapid growth followed by moderate contraction or revaluation.

Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity

The adjusted shareholders’ equity followed a similar pattern to the reported shareholders' equity, beginning at roughly 12.29 billion USD in 2019, increasing steadily to almost 12.49 billion USD in 2020, then experiencing a marked increase in 2021 to about 39.71 billion USD. Following this, a downward trend was evident with adjusted equity decreasing each year through 2024, reaching approximately 35.74 billion USD. The consistent premium of adjusted equity over reported equity throughout the period indicates adjustments that increase the base equity value, possibly due to revaluation of assets or other comprehensive income.

The financial data reveals trends in key capital structure components over a six-year period.

Total Reported Debt

This liability measure shows an overall increasing trend, starting from approximately 5.49 billion USD in the earliest period and rising to about 7.58 billion USD by the most recent period. A slight dip is observed between 2019 and 2020, but afterward the debt consistently increments, indicating growing leverage or increased borrowing activities over time.

Shareholders' Equity

Equity values reflect substantial growth in 2021, peaking near 38 billion USD, almost tripling compared to earlier values around 11.7-12 billion USD in 2019 and 2020. However, the two subsequent years show a decline, with equity decreasing to approximately 35 billion USD by 2024, suggesting possible distributions, losses, or changes in accounting policies affecting equity levels.

Total Reported Capital

This figure, representing the sum of debt and equity, follows a similar pattern to equity. It remains relatively stable near 17 billion USD in the first two years, then experiences a threefold increase in 2021 to about 44.7 billion USD. A slight decrease is noted afterward, stabilizing around 42.7 billion USD in 2024. The pattern signifies that the surge in capital in 2021 was predominantly driven by equity changes, supported by increased debt.

Adjusted Total Debt

Adjustments to debt show a comparable upward trend as the reported total debt, beginning at 5.87 billion USD in 2019 and reaching almost 8 billion USD by 2024. The adjusted debt consistently exceeds the reported debt, indicating additional liabilities or debt-like obligations considered in the adjusted figure.

Adjusted Shareholders' Equity

This adjusted equity measure also demonstrates a significant rise in 2021, increasing from roughly 12.3 billion USD in 2019 to nearly 40 billion USD. It decreases gradually in subsequent years, settling near 35.7 billion USD in 2024, mirroring the pattern of reported equity but at consistently higher values.

Adjusted Total Capital

The adjusted capital data reflects the sum of adjusted debt and equity, showing a similar trend with an increase from about 18.2 billion USD in 2019 to a peak near 46.8 billion USD in 2021 before slightly decreasing to around 43.7 billion USD by 2024. This confirms the substantial capital base expansion in 2021 followed by modest contractions.

Overall, the data indicates a notable capital structure expansion in 2021, largely driven by increased equity and supported by higher debt levels. The subsequent decrease in equity and total capital suggests some capital retraction or adjustments, while debt continues to grow steadily. The differences between reported and adjusted figures imply that adjustments consider additional financial obligations or reclassifications, resulting in higher debt and equity values across all years.

The financial data reveals notable fluctuations in net income and adjusted net income over the six-year period. The net income exhibits an overall upward trend from 2019 to 2023, followed by a significant decline in 2024.

Net income

Starting at approximately 1.36 billion US dollars in 2019, net income decreased slightly to around 1.22 billion in 2020. It then rose modestly to about 1.39 billion in 2021 before experiencing a sharp increase in 2022, reaching approximately 2.75 billion. This upward momentum continued in 2023, peaking at approximately 3.31 billion. However, in 2024, net income fell considerably to just over 1.63 billion.

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income showed a declining trend from 2019 to 2021, starting near 1.20 billion, dropping to roughly 1.05 billion in 2020, and decreasing further to approximately 1.03 billion in 2021. It then surged significantly in 2022 to nearly 2.42 billion and continued to rise to about 2.96 billion in 2023. Similar to net income, adjusted net income declined sharply in 2024, falling to around 1.14 billion.

The data suggests periods of increased profitability in 2022 and 2023, potentially driven by favorable business conditions or operational improvements. The subsequent decline in 2024 for both net income and adjusted net income indicates a reversal, which may warrant further investigation to understand underlying causes such as market conditions, expenses, or other impactful factors.
