1 US$ in millions

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Charter Shareholders
The net income figures demonstrate a significant fluctuation over the analyzed periods. From 2010 through 2015, the company experienced consistent net losses, peaking at a loss of -369 million USD in 2011. Beginning in 2016, there was a remarkable turnaround, with a substantial profit of 3,522 million USD reported, followed by continued profit growth reaching a peak of 9,895 million USD in 2017. After this peak, net income declined noticeably over the subsequent years but remained positive, ending at 4,557 million USD in 2023. This pattern indicates a recovery phase post-2015, though with some volatility in profit margins in recent years.
Total Charter Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
The shareholders' equity showed a declining trend from 2010 through 2015, moving from 1,478 million USD to a deficit of -46 million USD in 2015. A dramatic increase occurred in 2016, with equity rising sharply to 40,139 million USD. This elevated level was largely maintained over the following years, although a gradual downward trend is observed after 2016, with equity decreasing annually to 11,086 million USD by 2023. The initial deficit and subsequent surge reflect significant changes in the company’s capital structure or retained earnings around 2015 to 2016, followed by erosion of equity levels in later years.
Return on Equity (ROE)
The ROE metrics align with the income and equity trends, featuring negative returns from 2010 through 2014, with the worst at -204.03% in 2012, indicating heavy losses relative to shareholder equity. Data is missing for 2015, but from 2016 onwards, ROE turns positive, starting at 8.77% and increasing dramatically to 55.43% in 2022. A slight decline to 41.11% in 2023 is noted. The rising ROE post-2015 illustrates improved profitability and more efficient use of equity, despite the erosion of shareholders' equity value during the latter years.
Overall Trends and Insights
The company transitioned from substantial losses and equity deficits before 2016 to sustained profitability and strong equity positions starting that year. The peak in net income and equity in 2017 suggests an inflection point, potentially driven by operational improvements or strategic actions. While net income and ROE remain strong after 2017, the gradual decrease in equity signals potential factors such as dividends, share buybacks, or losses not impacting net income directly. The high ROE figures in the recent years highlight efficient capital utilization despite lower absolute equity values.
