- Net Income Trends
- The reported net income has demonstrated consistent growth over the six-year period from October 2019 to October 2024. Starting at 2,706 million US dollars in 2019, it increased steadily each year, reaching 7,177 million US dollars by 2024. This represents more than a twofold increase in reported net income across the timeframe.
- Adjusted Net Income Trends
- Adjusted net income exhibits a similar upward trajectory to reported net income over the same period. Beginning at 2,727 million US dollars in 2019, adjusted net income increased annually to reach 7,220 million US dollars in 2024. The pattern suggests consistent financial performance when accounting for investment adjustments.
- Comparison of Reported vs. Adjusted Net Income
- The values of reported and adjusted net income are closely aligned in each year, with adjusted net income slightly exceeding reported figures throughout the timeframe. This indicates relatively minor adjustments were made for investment considerations, implying that the core earnings quality and accounting treatments are stable.
- Overall Financial Performance
- The consistent increase in both reported and adjusted net income over six years reflects robust profitability growth. There is no indication of volatility or impairment in earnings, suggesting effective management of operations and investments. The steady climb also signals potentially strong market conditions or successful strategic initiatives contributing to improving financial results.
Adjusted Profitability Ratios: Mark to Market Available-for-sale Securities (Summary)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-10-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-10-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-10-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-10-25), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-10-27).
- Net Profit Margin Trends
- The reported net profit margin exhibited a consistent upward trajectory from 18.52% in 2019 to 26.41% in 2024, with minor fluctuations. The margin increased particularly from 2019 through 2021, stabilizing slightly but continuing to improve through 2024. The adjusted net profit margin closely mirrored the reported figures, confirming the stability and reliability of profitability when excluding certain adjustments.
- Return on Equity (ROE) Trends
- The reported ROE showed notable growth between 2019 and 2022, peaking at 53.51% in 2022, which indicates a strong improvement in shareholders’ returns over this period. However, a decline occurred from 2022 to 2024, where ROE dropped to 37.77%, suggesting lower efficiency in generating returns for equity holders in the more recent years. The adjusted ROE followed a similar pattern, corroborating the observed trend with only slight numerical differences.
- Return on Assets (ROA) Trends
- Reported ROA rose steadily from 14.22% in 2019 to a high of 24.41% in 2022, reflecting improved asset utilization. After that peak, it declined moderately to 20.86% in 2024. Adjusted ROA tracked the same trend closely, suggesting that core operational efficiency improved over most of the timeframe but softened somewhat in the final years.
- Overall Financial Performance Insights
- The data consistently shows growth in profitability metrics from 2019 through 2022, with margins and returns generally improving. The post-2022 period indicates a slight weakening in ROE and ROA despite continued strength in net profit margins, which may imply increased asset base or changes in financial leverage affecting returns. The close alignment between reported and adjusted figures across all metrics supports the reliability of the observed trends.

- Net Income Trends
- The net income displays a consistent upward trend over the analyzed periods. Reported net income increased from $2,706 million in the 2019 fiscal year to $7,177 million in 2024. Similarly, adjusted net income rose from $2,727 million to $7,220 million over the same timeframe. This growth depicts strong profitability expansion, with the most notable jumps occurring between 2020 and 2021, and continued gains through 2024, albeit at a gradually moderating pace.
- Return on Equity (ROE) Patterns
- Reported ROE exhibits significant volatility across the periods. Starting at 32.94% in 2019, it peaked at 53.51% in 2022 before declining to 37.77% in 2024. Adjusted ROE follows a similar trajectory, with values ranging from 33.2% to 52.9%, peaking in 2022 and subsequently declining. Despite the recent decrease, both reported and adjusted ROE remain substantially above the initial 2019 levels, indicating strong efficiency in generating returns on equity, though with increased variability in the later years.
- Comparison of Reported and Adjusted Data
- The difference between reported and adjusted net income and ROE is minimal, suggesting that adjustments have a limited impact on the overall financial results. This close alignment implies that non-recurring items or accounting adjustments have had little effect on the core profitability and efficiency metrics throughout the periods analyzed.
- Overall Insights
- Overall, the financial data indicates robust growth in net income accompanied by generally high and somewhat volatile return on equity performance. The peak ROE in 2022 followed by declines through 2024 may merit further investigation into factors driving these fluctuations, potentially including changes in operational efficiency, capital structure, or external economic conditions. The stability and similarity between reported and adjusted figures reinforce the reliability of these profitability measures as reflections of underlying business performance.

The financial data reflects a consistent upward trajectory in both reported and adjusted net income over the six-year period. Reported net income increased from approximately $2.7 billion in 2019 to about $7.2 billion in 2024, demonstrating substantial growth. Adjusted net income followed a similar pattern, starting at roughly $2.7 billion and reaching approximately $7.2 billion by 2024, indicating that adjustments made to net income did not significantly alter the growth trend.
Return on Assets (ROA) metrics also show notable movements. Reported ROA rose from 14.22% in 2019 to a peak of 24.41% in 2022, before declining to 20.86% in 2024. Adjusted ROA mirrored this trend closely, increasing from 14.33% in 2019 to 24.14% in 2022, then decreasing slightly to 20.98% in 2024. This pattern suggests that asset utilization efficiency improved markedly until 2022 and then moderated somewhat in the subsequent years.
- Net Income Trends
- Both reported and adjusted net income exhibit sustained growth across the observed period, nearly tripling from 2019 to 2024. The alignment between reported and adjusted figures signifies minor differences between these measures, with adjusted figures slightly higher, indicating possibly conservative or reconciling adjustments.
- Return on Assets Trends
- ROA increased substantially through 2022, implying improved operational effectiveness in generating profit from assets. The decline post-2022 suggests either a reduction in profitability relative to asset base or an expansion of assets outpacing net income growth.
- Comparative Analysis
- The close proximity of reported and adjusted financial metrics throughout the timeline indicates consistent reporting standards and limited impact of non-recurring or extraordinary items on overall profitability and asset performance measures.
In summary, the data reveals strong income growth and improved profitability relative to assets until 2022, followed by moderate declines in asset efficiency, while maintaining overall growth momentum through 2024. The stability between reported and adjusted values further strengthens the reliability of these performance trends.
