The financial data reveals a consistent upward trajectory across all profitability measures over the analyzed periods. Each key metric—net income, earnings before tax (EBT), earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)—demonstrates steady growth from the year ending July 31, 2020, through the projected figures for July 31, 2025.
- Net income
- Net income rose from $1,826 million in 2020 to a projected $3,869 million by 2025. This represents more than a twofold increase over the six-year span, indicating strong profitability advancement. The growth pace appears to accelerate particularly after 2022, with significant gains in the last three years.
- Earnings before tax (EBT)
- EBT also shows robust growth, increasing from $2,198 million in 2020 to an estimated $4,834 million in 2025. The upward trend is steady, with a slight plateau visible between 2021 and 2022, followed by an acceleration from 2023 onwards. The rate of increase in EBT slightly outpaces net income, which could reflect changes in tax rates or tax-related impacts on net earnings.
- Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)
- EBIT figures increase from $2,212 million in 2020 to a projected $5,081 million in 2025. The growth mirrors that of EBT closely, confirming that operating earnings before interest remain robust and are improving continuously. The steady gains suggest effective management of operating expenses and possibly expanding operations or improved operational efficiency.
- Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
- EBITDA shows a pronounced upward movement as well, growing from $2,430 million in 2020 to an estimated $5,890 million in 2025. The steady increase in EBITDA indicates not only operational profitability but also strong earnings generation before accounting for non-cash charges like depreciation and amortization. The increase suggests positive cash flow trends and potential for reinvestment.
Overall, the data reveals substantial improvement in profitability and operational earnings over the period analyzed. The growth in all four financial measures is consistent, indicating strong performance momentum. The acceleration in earnings after 2022 signals potential strategic initiatives or favorable market conditions contributing to enhanced financial outcomes. No data anomalies such as declines or volatility are present, pointing to stable and sustained financial health over time.

The financial data exhibits several notable trends over the six-year period under review. The enterprise value (EV) displays an overall increasing trajectory, rising from US$86,745 million in 2020 to US$187,852 million in 2025. This indicates substantial growth in the company's market valuation, although the path includes fluctuations, such as a decline from 2021 to 2022 before ascending again in subsequent years.
Correspondingly, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) show a consistent upward trend, growing from US$2,430 million in 2020 to US$5,890 million in 2025. This steady increase suggests improving operational profitability and potentially enhanced cash flow generation capacity over time.
The EV/EBITDA ratio, which provides a valuation multiple related to earnings, reveals variability across the years. Initially, the ratio escalates sharply from 35.7 in 2020 to a peak of 51.96 in 2021, indicating that enterprise value grew faster than EBITDA during this interval or expectations for future growth increased. Subsequent years experience a decline in this ratio to 31.89 by 2025. This decreasing trend in the latter years may reflect a relative increase in EBITDA outpacing growth in enterprise value or a normalization of valuations after earlier expansion.
- Enterprise Value (EV)
- Shows significant growth with fluctuations, increasing overall by more than double the 2020 value by 2025.
- EBITDA
- Demonstrates consistent year-on-year growth, nearly doubling from 2020 through 2025, indicating operational improvements.
- EV/EBITDA Ratio
- Peaks substantially in 2021 before declining steadily, indicating changing market valuations relative to earnings over time.
In summary, the data reflects a company experiencing robust growth in both valuation and earnings capacity, with market valuation multiples adjusting downward after a peak, likely signifying increased earnings performance relative to valuation or evolving market sentiments.
