1 US$ in thousands

The financial data reveals several notable trends over the period analyzed. Net income attributable to the company consistently increased year over year, starting from 400 million US dollars in 2005 and reaching approximately 4.52 billion US dollars by the end of 2017. This represents a strong growth trajectory in profitability throughout the years.

Total assets exhibited considerable variability, with an initial slight decline from 5.49 billion US dollars in 2005 to around 5.11 billion in 2006, followed by fluctuations in subsequent years. Notably, there was a significant increase in 2009 to over 11.93 billion US dollars, followed by a drop in the following years. The asset base peaked sharply in 2012 at approximately 58.11 billion US dollars before stabilizing around 53 to 54 billion US dollars in the final years of the timeframe.

The Return on Assets (ROA) percentage demonstrates a fluctuating but generally positive trend. It started at 7.28% in 2005, peaked at 14.09% in 2008, then decreased sharply to 2.26% in 2012 coinciding with the peak in total assets. From 2013 onwards, ROA showed a gradual improvement, reaching 8.33% in 2017. This pattern suggests periods of varying efficiency in generating earnings from assets, potentially influenced by fluctuations in total assets and net income.
