Net Sales
Over the observed period, net sales exhibited a pronounced upward trajectory, increasing from approximately $13.9 billion in 2005 to $416.2 billion in 2025. Notably, sales growth was particularly rapid between 2009 and 2012, jumping from about $36.5 billion to $156.5 billion. Although sales fluctuated in certain years—such as a slight decline around 2014 to 2016—the overall long-term trend remained strongly positive, with significant expansions continuing into the mid-2020s.
Total Assets
Total assets showed consistent growth through most of the period, starting at $11.6 billion in 2005 and rising to a peak of approximately $375.3 billion in 2017. After 2017, assets slightly declined and then stabilized around the mid-$350 billion range through 2025. This pattern indicates aggressive asset accumulation up to the late 2010s, followed by a period of consolidation or asset base stabilization in recent years.
Total Asset Turnover
The total asset turnover ratio, reflecting the efficiency of asset use to generate sales, decreased steadily from 1.21 in 2005 to a low of 0.61 in 2017. This declining trend coincides with the rapid asset accumulation period, possibly indicating that asset growth outpaced sales growth, impacting turnover negatively. However, post-2017, the ratio rebounded to 1.16 by 2025, signaling improved efficiency in utilizing assets to generate sales in the more recent years.
Overall Insights
The financial data reveals a phase of rapid scaling in both sales and asset base until the late 2010s, accompanied by declining asset turnover, suggesting the addition of assets did not immediately translate into proportional sales increases. Following this phase, the company appears to have shifted focus towards optimizing asset utilization, as indicated by the recovery in asset turnover ratios, while maintaining strong sales growth. This reflects a maturation of operations, balancing growth with operational efficiency.
