The analysis of the available annual financial data indicates an overall positive trajectory in both current assets and adjusted current assets over the five-year period ending in 2024. The current assets experienced a decline from 5517 million US dollars in 2020 to 4565 million in 2021, reflecting a downturn during this interval.

Following this decline, there is a gradual recovery observed, with current assets increasing to 4720 million in 2022 and further rising to 5597 million in 2023. The trend culminates in a significant increase, reaching 7386 million in 2024, which represents the highest value within the reported timeframe.

The pattern for adjusted current assets closely mirrors that of current assets, starting at 5530 million in 2020, dipping to 4604 million in 2021, and gradually increasing in subsequent years to 4740 million (2022), 5614 million (2023), and 7408 million (2024). Notably, adjusted current assets maintain a level slightly above the reported current assets throughout the periods, suggesting adjustments add a marginal increase in asset values.

This data indicates that after an initial contraction in the early part of the period, the company’s liquidity position improved steadily and significantly by 2024. The marked increase in both current and adjusted current assets in the most recent year suggests enhanced financial flexibility and potentially better short-term asset management or accumulation.

Key Trends:

- Decline in current and adjusted current assets from 2020 to 2021.

- Gradual recovery and growth from 2022 through 2023.

- Substantial increase in both metrics by 2024, surpassing previous levels notably.

- Adjusted current assets consistently outperform current assets by a small margin, indicating stable adjustments over time.

The analysis of the financial data over the five-year period reveals an upward trend in both total assets and adjusted total assets. Starting from 2020, total assets increased steadily each year, rising from US$6,353 million to US$12,845 million by the end of 2024. This represents more than a twofold growth over the period, indicating substantial asset expansion.

Similarly, adjusted total assets follow a comparable pattern, progressing from US$6,366 million in 2020 to US$12,867 million in 2024. The adjusted figures remain consistently slightly higher than total assets, with the gap between the two values being stable but minimal over the years.

The consistent annual growth in both total and adjusted total assets suggests ongoing investments and asset accumulation, reflecting expansion or scaling activities. This positive trajectory points to improving asset base strength, which could be indicative of enhanced operational capacity or strategic asset acquisition. There are no indications of asset contractions or volatility within this timeframe.

The financial data reveals a consistent upward trend in both total liabilities and adjusted total liabilities over the five-year period analyzed.

Total liabilities

Starting at 1,653 million US dollars at the end of 2020, total liabilities increased each year, reaching 5,035 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This represents an approximate tripling in the total liabilities over the five-year span, indicating a steady accumulation of financial obligations.

Adjusted total liabilities

Similarly, adjusted total liabilities followed nearly the same trajectory, growing from 1,650 million US dollars in 2020 to 5,031 million US dollars in 2024. The closeness of these figures to the total liabilities suggests minor adjustments, which did not significantly affect the overall liability trend.

The continuous increase in liabilities indicates a possible expansion in operational scale, increased borrowing, or other financial commitments. The parallel movement between total and adjusted liabilities implies consistency in accounting adjustments or reconciliations.

No data is provided for assets, equity, revenues, or other financial metrics, which limits assessment of the company's leverage ratios, solvency, or the impact of the growing liabilities on financial stability. However, the persistent and substantial rise in liabilities may warrant further examination in terms of debt management, capital structure, and potential risks associated with increased financial obligations.

The financial data indicates a generally positive trend in both stockholders’ equity and adjusted stockholders’ equity from 2020 through 2024. There is a slight decline observed from 2020 to 2021, followed by a substantial increase in the subsequent years.

Stockholders’ equity

Starting at US$4,700 million in 2020, the equity slightly decreased to US$4,667 million in 2021, indicating a minor contraction during this period. From 2021 onwards, the figure shows consistent growth, rising significantly to US$6,754 million in 2022, then modestly increasing to US$6,806 million in 2023, and further reaching US$7,803 million in 2024. This upward trajectory reflects strengthening financial stability and accumulation of net assets over time.

Adjusted stockholders’ equity

This metric mirrors the trend observed in stockholders’ equity. It begins at US$4,716 million in 2020 and declines marginally to US$4,710 million in 2021. Following this, there is a notable growth to US$6,791 million in 2022, with continued increases to US$6,833 million in 2023 and US$7,836 million in 2024. The alignment of adjusted equity with the reported equity suggests consistent adjustments without large discrepancies or restatements impacting shareholder value.

Overall, the data suggests a recovery and growth phase post-2021, with equity positions strengthening, possibly due to increased profitability, retained earnings, or capital injections. The steadiness of growth in both metrics from 2022 onward indicates improving financial health and enhanced investor confidence.

The financial data over the five-year period reveals several noteworthy trends in the capital structure and equity position.

Total reported debt

Reported debt data is only available for the year ending 2020, showing a value of US$364 million. No subsequent years provide reported debt figures, which limits direct year-to-year comparison for this metric.

Stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity exhibits a generally increasing trend from 2020 through 2024. Starting at US$4,700 million in 2020, it experiences a slight decline in 2021 to US$4,667 million, after which it rises significantly to US$6,754 million in 2022. Growth continues modestly into 2023 with US$6,806 million and accelerates further in 2024 reaching US$7,803 million. This indicates strengthening equity capital over the period.

Total reported capital

Total reported capital closely follows the trajectory of stockholders’ equity, given minimal or missing debt inputs after 2020. It starts at US$5,064 million in 2020, falls to US$4,667 million in 2021, then increases steadily each year to US$6,754 million in 2022, US$6,806 million in 2023, and US$7,803 million in 2024. This pattern primarily reflects movements in equity capital rather than debt.

Adjusted total debt

Adjusted total debt shows more complete data over the years, decreasing from US$617 million in 2020 to US$399 million in 2021, suggesting debt reduction or reclassification. Subsequently, it increases gradually with US$511 million in 2022, US$522 million in 2023, and US$536 million in 2024. Overall, adjusted debt remains relatively stable in the lower US$500 million range after 2021, indicating a moderate leverage position.

Adjusted stockholders’ equity

Adjusted equity closely mirrors the reported equity trend but reflects minor adjustments. Beginning at US$4,716 million in 2020, it remains almost unchanged at US$4,710 million in 2021, then rises sharply to US$6,791 million in 2022. The increase continues in 2023 with US$6,833 million and further to US$7,836 million in 2024. These figures suggest a strengthening equity base when accounting for adjustments.

Adjusted total capital

Adjusted total capital increases consistently over the period, starting at US$5,333 million in 2020 and growing to US$5,109 million in 2021 which represents a slight decrease, then escalating significantly to US$7,302 million in 2022. It further climbs to US$7,355 million in 2023 and US$8,372 million in 2024. This upward trend indicates an expanded capital base when adjusted for debt and equity refinements.

In summary, the data indicates that the company has experienced a strengthening equity position over the five years, supported by relatively low and stable adjusted debt levels from 2021 onward. The total capital base has expanded, particularly when adjusted figures are considered, reflecting potentially improved financial stability and capacity for growth. The absence of reported debt beyond 2020 limits analysis of debt trends, but the adjusted debt figures suggest controlled leverage and modest increases aligning with growing capital resources.

The financial data reveals notable fluctuations in the net income and adjusted net income of the company over the examined five-year period. There is an initial consistent net loss from 2020 through 2022, with the loss deepening significantly in 2022. Following this peak negative value, a substantial improvement is observable in both 2023 and 2024, culminating in a positive net income by the end of 2024.

Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (US$ in millions)

The net loss remained relatively stable in 2020 and 2021, recorded at approximately -461 million and -468 million respectively. In 2022, the net loss widened sharply to -1365 million, indicating a considerable increase in negative profitability. The trend reversed in 2023 with the net loss decreasing to -558 million, and by 2024, the company achieved a positive net income of 123 million. This suggests substantial operational or strategic improvements leading to profitability after years of losses.

Adjusted net income (loss) including redeemable non-controlling interests (US$ in millions)

The adjusted net income figures mirror the net income trend closely. The losses recorded were -450 million in 2020 and -445 million in 2021, followed by a significant downturn to -1453 million in 2022. There was a recovery in 2023 with the adjusted loss shrinking to -463 million, and further improvement in 2024 where the adjusted net loss was nearly breakeven at -57 million. The adjustment reflects a similar pattern of initial deterioration and subsequent recovery, pointing to underlying progress in company performance when excluding certain accounting effects.

Overall, the data suggests a period of increasing losses culminating in 2022, followed by a noteworthy turnaround resulting in profitability in 2024. The trend indicates a successful mitigation of prior losses and enhancement of financial health, possibly driven by operational efficiencies, revenue growth, cost management, or other strategic initiatives.
