1 US$ in millions
- Current Assets
- Current assets demonstrated a fluctuating trend over the analyzed period. Initially, values were relatively stable between 2010 and 2015, ranging from US$326 million to US$371 million. A significant increase occurred in 2016, with current assets rising sharply to US$3,300 million, followed by a decline over the next several years. From 2017 to 2019, the figures showed variability, peaking again in 2019 at US$6,471 million before decreasing to US$3,566 million in 2021. Subsequent years saw moderate growth, with current assets reaching US$4,233 million by 2024.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibited an overall increasing trend throughout the period. Starting at US$1,049 million in 2010, liabilities rose steadily each year, reaching a peak of US$13,486 million in 2024. Notable jumps occurred between 2015 and 2016, when liabilities increased substantially from US$1,972 million to US$9,572 million, and continued to rise consistently thereafter. The increase in current liabilities indicates a growing short-term financial obligation over time.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio, a measure of short-term liquidity, remained below 1.0 for all years, reflecting a position where current liabilities consistently outweighed current assets. The ratio oscillated between 0.17 and 0.52, with the lowest point in 2015 at 0.17, suggesting reduced liquidity at that time. A peak was observed in 2019 at 0.52, indicating a temporary improvement in the company's ability to cover short-term liabilities with current assets. However, this ratio generally remained low, closing at approximately 0.31 in 2024, implying persistent liquidity constraints.
- Summary Insights
- Over the examined years, the company displayed significant volatility in current assets, including a sharp increase in 2016 and 2019, potentially due to changes in operational or financial activities. Conversely, current liabilities showed a pronounced and steady upward trend, substantially outpacing asset growth. This imbalance is reflected in the consistently low current ratio, signifying ongoing challenges in meeting short-term obligations with available current assets. The most recent data suggests that liquidity has not improved substantially, indicating that attention to working capital management may be necessary.
