Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).
- Raw Materials and Supplies
- The value of raw materials and supplies showed a moderate decrease from 411 million USD in 2020 to 399 million USD in 2021. Following this, there was a significant increase to 567 million USD in 2022 and further growth to 614 million USD in 2023. However, in 2024, the value decreased to 529 million USD, indicating some volatility in inventory holdings of raw materials over the five-year period.
- Work in Process
- The value of work in process inventory remained relatively stable between 2020 and 2021, with a slight decline from 337 million USD to 334 million USD. Thereafter, it increased steadily to 368 million USD in 2022 and 390 million USD in 2023, followed by a slight decrease to 371 million USD in 2024. This suggests gradual accumulation and adjustments in inventory that is partially completed.
- Finished Goods
- Finished goods inventory experienced a steady upward trend from 981 million USD in 2020 to 1000 million USD in 2021, continuing to rise to 1043 million USD in 2022 and peaking at 1111 million USD in 2023. In 2024, the level decreased slightly to 1046 million USD. This pattern indicates an overall growth in finished product inventories, with a minor reduction in the most recent period.
- Total Inventories
- The total inventory value increased consistently from 1729 million USD in 2020 to 1733 million USD in 2021, then showed a marked increase to 1978 million USD in 2022 and reached its peak at 2115 million USD in 2023. A moderate decline to 1946 million USD was recorded in 2024. Overall, the company’s inventory investments increased over the period, with a notable peak in 2023 followed by a reduction, possibly reflecting inventory optimization efforts or changes in demand.
