The financial data over the five-year period exhibits significant growth and improvement across several key metrics.
- Net Income
- Net income shows a pronounced upward trend, starting at 59 million US dollars in 2020 and steadily increasing each year to reach 5,882 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This represents a substantial increase, particularly notable from 2021 onwards, indicating enhanced profitability and operational success.
- Revenues
- Revenues have grown consistently from 6,796 million US dollars in 2020 to 23,739 million US dollars in 2024. The upward trajectory suggests strong sales growth and market expansion, maintaining momentum throughout the five-year period.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin has improved substantially, beginning at a very low 0.87% in 2020 and reaching 24.78% by 2024. This indicates not only higher profitability in absolute terms but also more efficient cost management and greater operational leverage relative to revenues.
Overall, the data illustrates robust financial performance, characterized by expanding revenues, rising net income, and improving profitability ratios. The significant increase in net profit margin alongside growth in revenues and net income reflects successful strategies in revenue generation and cost control over the analyzed timeframe.

The analysis of the annual financial data reveals significant trends over the five-year period. Net income has demonstrated a consistent and substantial increase, indicating strong profitability growth. Starting at 59 million US dollars in 2020, net income rose to 1,165 million in 2021, then surged further to 3,058 million in 2022, followed by continuous growth to 4,289 million in 2023, and reaching 5,882 million in 2024. This upward trajectory suggests effective operational performance and possibly successful strategic initiatives.
However, stockholders’ equity exhibits a contrasting pattern. Initially positive at 4,893 million US dollars in 2020 and increasing to 6,178 million in 2021, stockholders’ equity sharply declined thereafter. By 2022, it dropped to 2,782 million, then shifted into negative territory at -2,744 million in 2023, and further declined to -4,020 million in 2024. This downturn indicates increasing liabilities surpassing assets or other factors impacting the equity base adversely, which is a notable concern despite the rising net income.
The return on equity (ROE) demonstrates considerable volatility. A low ROE of 1.21% in 2020 jumped significantly to 18.86% in 2021 and then dramatically increased to 109.92% in 2022. Data for 2023 and 2024 are not reported. The marked increase in ROE, particularly in 2022, likely reflects the sharp reduction in stockholders’ equity, as well as enhanced profitability. The absence of later data may indicate measurement challenges or recalculations due to negative equity.
Overall, the financial trends suggest robust net income growth alongside increasing financial leverage or capital structure risks, as evidenced by the declining and negative stockholders’ equity. The elevated ROE figures, while initially positive, may reflect increased financial risk rather than pure operational efficiency. Careful monitoring of equity levels and underlying causes is advised to fully assess the financial stability and sustainability of earnings growth in the coming periods.
