The analysis of the annual financial data reveals notable fluctuations in current assets, current liabilities, and the current ratio over the examined period.
- Current Assets
- The company's current assets displayed variability across the years. Initial values showed a gradual increase from 1,237 million US dollars in 2008 to 1,757 million US dollars in 2011, followed by a decline in 2013 to 1,119 million US dollars. Subsequently, there was a period of growth peaking at 2,736 million US dollars in 2016. However, this was succeeded by a sharp decrease to 1,117 million US dollars in 2017 before a general upward trend resumed towards 3,057 million US dollars by the end of 2021.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities showed an overall increasing trend with some fluctuations. Beginning at 801 million US dollars in 2008, liabilities peaked sharply at 1,915 million US dollars in 2011 before a decline to 1,030 million US dollars in 2013. Thereafter, liabilities steadily increased, reaching a significant high of 7,694 million US dollars in 2021 after crossing 5,700 million US dollars in 2018, which represents a notable escalation in short-term obligations during the latter part of the period.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited considerable volatility, reflecting changes in liquidity. From a relatively healthy ratio of 1.54 in 2008, there was a decline to below 1.0 in 2010 and 2011, indicating potential liquidity tensions. A sharp spike to 2.6 in 2016 suggests strong liquidity during that year, likely influenced by the peak in current assets and lower liabilities. This was followed by a significant decline, with the ratio dropping to extremely low levels around 0.31-0.38 between 2018 and 2020, implying constraints on the company’s short-term financial flexibility. A slight improvement to 0.47 in 2021 remains below typical liquidity benchmarks.
Overall, the data suggests periods of liquidity stress interspersed with temporary improvements, alongside a general rising trend in current liabilities that outpaces the growth of current assets in recent years. This pattern indicates increasing short-term financial obligations relative to available assets, which could be a focus for financial management.
