The return on assets (ROA) exhibited considerable fluctuation over the period from 2005 to 2025. Initially, a substantial decline in ROA was observed between 2005 and 2006, followed by a period of relative stability and then growth through 2011. Subsequent years demonstrated increased volatility, culminating in a significant loss and negative ROA in 2023 and 2024, before a slight recovery in 2025.

Initial Decline and Recovery (2005-2011)
From 2005 to 2006, ROA decreased from 17.93% to 10.43%, representing a significant drop in profitability relative to asset base. However, the ROA recovered over the subsequent years, peaking at 18.20% in 2011. This period suggests a successful adjustment to market conditions or internal improvements in asset utilization and profitability.
Volatility and Moderate Performance (2012-2019)
The period between 2012 and 2019 was characterized by fluctuating ROA values, generally ranging between 7.79% and 16.45%. While no consistent trend was apparent, the ROA remained positive throughout this period, indicating continued profitability, albeit with varying efficiency. A notable peak was observed in 2018 at 16.45%.
Recent Performance and Significant Loss (2020-2025)
From 2020 to 2022, ROA experienced a gradual decline, falling from 13.65% to 0.88%. This downward trend accelerated dramatically in 2023, resulting in a negative ROA of -9.55%, and further deteriorated in 2024 to -9.55%. The negative ROA in these years indicates that the company’s assets were generating a loss rather than a profit. A slight improvement was observed in 2025, with ROA reaching -0.13%, suggesting a potential stabilization, though still representing a loss.

The substantial decline in net income attributable to the company in 2023 and 2024 directly correlates with the negative ROA values observed during those years. The increase in total assets over the entire period, while generally positive, did not translate into corresponding increases in profitability, particularly in the later years. The recent negative ROA values warrant further investigation to determine the underlying causes and potential corrective actions.
