1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals several notable trends across the observed periods. Net earnings exhibit an overall upward trajectory with some variability. Starting from 1,145 million USD, net earnings increase gradually, peaking at 5,471 million USD in the year ending December 31, 2017. Following this peak, there is a decline to 1,714 million USD in 2016, after which the earnings recover and continue to rise, reaching 4,166 million USD by the end of 2022.
Total assets show steady growth throughout the years. Beginning at 24,232 million USD in 2005, total assets increase consistently year-over-year, culminating at 41,912 million USD in 2022. This steady asset growth suggests ongoing investment and expansion within the company.
Return on Assets (ROA) as a percentage generally mirrors the net earnings trend with some fluctuations. Initially, ROA increases from 4.73% in 2005 to around 6.18% in 2011, indicating improving efficiency in generating profit from assets. The ROA then stays relatively stable until 2016, when an anomalous spike occurs, reaching 15.31% in 2017. This sharp increase corresponds with the peak in net earnings and may indicate an extraordinary event or operational improvement. After the spike, ROA declines but remains higher than in earlier years, settling at 9.94% in 2022.
The relationship between net earnings, total assets, and ROA suggests that while asset base expansion has been consistent, profitability and efficiency in utilizing these assets have experienced fluctuations. The years around 2017 stand out with exceptional financial performance, followed by a period of adjustment and recovery. By the end of the period, the company demonstrates solid earning capacity and asset utilization efficiency.
