1 US$ in millions
- Net Income (Loss)
- The net income figures exhibit significant volatility over the period analyzed. Initially, the company experienced a net loss of $44 million, which then transitioned into positive net income from 2010 onward, with fluctuations in magnitude. Notable peaks include $1,364 million in 2015 and a substantial loss of $1,739 million in 2016. Following this, the net income recovered strongly, reaching a high of $14,082 million in 2022. The final recorded year shows a decline to $5,895 million, although the figure remains relatively strong compared to earlier periods.
- Stockholders' Equity
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrates a general upward trend across the timeframe. Starting at $1,040 million in 2009, it increased steadily with occasional significant jumps, such as the rise to $18,892 million in 2016 from $4,714 million the previous year. The equity continued to grow, peaking considerably at $67,678 million in 2024, indicating ongoing capital accumulation and reinvestment in the company.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE figures reflect considerable variability, corresponding to the fluctuations observed in net income. Negative ROE was recorded initially (-4.23% in 2009) and again in 2016 (-9.2%). In other years, ROE shows strong positive performance, notably 50.62% in 2022 and 58.7% in 2023. The final year shows a marked decrease to 8.71%, aligning with the fall in net income but still representing positive returns. The variability suggests sensitivity to net income swings and changes in equity levels.
