Net Income Trends
The net income attributable shows considerable volatility throughout the observed period. After initially increasing from 466,695 thousand US$ to 528,098 thousand US$ between 2005 and 2007, it sharply declined to a loss of 523,368 thousand US$ in 2009. Subsequently, the company experienced a recovery phase with fluctuating yet generally upward net income, peaking at 3,387,277 thousand US$ in 2023. Although there was a slight decline in the following two years, the net income increased again to 4,061,643 thousand US$ in 2025, marking overall significant growth over the 20-year period.
Total Assets Trends
Total assets present an overall upward trajectory with some intermittent declines. The asset base grew from approximately 3.99 billion US$ in 2005 to over 5.28 billion US$ in 2013, despite a dip during 2009 corresponding with the net income loss. A significant asset increase occurred after 2014, nearly doubling the total assets to over 16 billion US$ by 2025. This expansion reflects potential major investments or acquisitions increasing the company’s resource base substantially in recent years.
Return on Assets (ROA) Trends
The ROA fluctuated alongside net income dynamics. It began at a relatively high level of 11.71% in 2005, followed by a dip to 7.41% in 2008, and a significant negative value of -14.5% in 2009, indicating losses during that financial crisis period. Post-2009, ROA steadily improved, reaching a peak of 26.37% by 2021 and remaining strong around mid-20% range thereafter, suggesting an enhanced efficiency in generating profit from assets in recent years despite the asset growth. The ROA indicates that the company improved its asset utilization substantially over the analyzed timespan.
Overall Financial Performance Insights
The company experienced a challenging period around 2009, reflected in negative net income and ROA, likely due to broader economic or industry-specific factors. However, the data shows resilience and strong recovery afterward, with increasing profitability and asset base expansion. The rising assets alongside improving ROA and net income point to effective management strategies and operational efficiencies. The company’s growth in net income outpaces asset growth, supporting the notion of improved profit generation capacity relative to its size.
