The net income (loss) of the company exhibits a fluctuating trend throughout the period. Initially, there are consistent losses from 2005 through 2014, with values generally worsening, including the largest loss recorded in 2018 at -127,100 thousand US dollars. However, starting from 2019, the company experiences a significant turnaround, achieving positive net income, peaking in 2020 at 493,600 thousand US dollars. Although net income declines somewhat after 2020, it remains positive in 2021 and 2022, indicating a substantial recovery from prior years' losses.

Stockholders’ equity (deficit) shows substantial variability but an overall upward trend with some volatility. Deficits are noted during the years 2007 to 2009, with the lowest point at -38,613 thousand US dollars in 2008. After 2009, a robust recovery is evident as equity increases steadily, reaching over 2 million thousand US dollars by 2021. In 2022, the equity slightly declines yet remains at a historically high level compared to earlier years.

Return on equity (ROE) values are highly volatile and largely negative during the majority of the timeline, reflecting the periods of financial losses. Extreme negative ROE in 2007 suggests disproportionate losses relative to shareholder equity during that year. From 2015 onwards, despite fluctuations, the negative percentages reduce in magnitude, and positive ROE figures appear starting in 2019, correlating with the periods of positive net income. The peak positive ROE occurs in 2020 at 27.02%, followed by a decline yet positive returns in subsequent years, indicating improving profitability relative to equity.

Summary of trends
The company endured a prolonged period of losses and negative equity, notably around 2008, but has since demonstrated a significant recovery.
Stockholders’ equity increased substantially from 2010 onward, signifying enhanced financial stability.
Return on equity, previously deeply negative, improves in the last four years examined, accompanying positive net income figures and indicating improving operational performance.
