- Net Earnings (Loss)
- From 2005 to 2014, net earnings generally exhibited an upward trend, increasing from approximately $505 million to over $1 billion, peaking in 2013 at close to $1.04 billion. However, starting in 2015, the net earnings showed a declining pattern, dropping significantly each year with notable losses beginning in 2019. The company recorded negative earnings from 2019 onwards, with the largest loss observed in 2020 at about -$614 million. Although losses slightly decreased by 2022, the overall trend during the latter period indicates financial challenges and deteriorating profitability.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrated consistent growth from 2005 through 2020, rising from approximately $3.2 billion to a peak around $7.8 billion in 2020. After this peak, total assets contracted sharply in 2021 and 2022, decreasing to roughly $5.1 billion by 2022. This pattern suggests significant asset reduction or divestiture following the 2020 peak, possibly linked to attempts to stabilize or restructure the company amid declining earnings.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA remained relatively strong and stable from 2005 to 2014, fluctuating between approximately 14% and 17%, reflecting efficient asset utilization during that period. Beginning in 2015, ROA began to diminish steadily, dropping to just over 6% in 2018. The company entered negative territory starting in 2019, with ROA declining to approximately -10.9% by 2022. The sharp decline and negative ROA values correspond with the observed net losses, indicating diminished profitability relative to asset base and a reduced capacity to generate earnings from assets.
