- Net Earnings
- The net earnings displayed an overall upward trajectory from 2005 through 2022 with notable fluctuations. Initially, earnings increased steadily from $1,145 million in 2005 to $1,864 million in 2013. After peaking at $1,968 million in 2015, a significant spike occurred in 2017, with net earnings surging to $5,471 million. This peak was followed by a sharp decline to $3,309 million in 2018. From 2018 onwards, net earnings stabilized somewhat, fluctuating between approximately $2,765 million and $4,166 million, ending on an upward trend in 2022.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity experienced a gradual increase from $7,954 million in 2005 to a peak of $14,705 million in 2017. However, after 2017, equity values showed some decline and volatility, decreasing to $12,615 million by 2022. Despite this decline, the overall trend over the period reflects growth in the company’s equity base, with some periods of contraction after significant peaks.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- Return on equity demonstrated variability with phases of both improvement and decline. The ratio increased from 14.4% in 2005 to a high of 21.55% in 2011, suggesting an improvement in profitability relative to equity during this period. A remarkable jump occurred in 2017, with ROE reaching an exceptional 37.21%, which corresponds with the spike in net earnings for the same year. Subsequently, ROE declined but remained relatively strong, fluctuating between 21.11% and 33.02% from 2018 to 2022, indicating sustained profitability at a higher level compared to earlier years.
- General Observations
- The data reveals an overall growth pattern with significant earnings volatility, particularly around 2017. The spike in net earnings and ROE that year likely resulted from a non-recurring event or extraordinary gains, as indicated by the divergence from prior trend lines. Despite fluctuations in shareholders’ equity post-2017, ROE remained comparatively high, showing efficient use of equity to generate profits during recent years. The equity base maintained a growth trajectory over the long term though some recent declines suggest capital changes or distributions impacting the equity value.
