Net Fixed Asset Turnover

There is a consistent upward trend in net fixed asset turnover from 4.99 in 2017 to 7.05 in 2022. This indicates improving efficiency in using fixed assets to generate sales over time.

Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)

This ratio starts identical to the standard net fixed asset turnover through 2019 but shows a comparatively smaller increase afterward, rising from 5.3 in 2020 to 6.08 in 2022. The similar trend but lower values relative to the conventional measure suggest the impact of incorporating right-of-use assets, moderating the improvement observed when only owned assets are considered.

Total Asset Turnover

Total asset turnover displays more volatility, initially rising from 0.44 in 2017 to 0.48 in 2018, followed by a significant decline to 0.29 in 2019. It modestly recovers to 0.42 by 2022 but does not return to earlier peak levels. This pattern may reflect shifts in asset base composition or fluctuations in sales relative to total assets, indicating variable efficiency in utilizing all assets to generate revenue.

Equity Turnover

Equity turnover shows moderate fluctuations with an increase from 1.04 in 2017 to 1.21 in 2018, then a decline through 2020 to 0.94. After 2020, it gradually recovers to 1.16 by 2022. This suggests changing efficiency in generating sales relative to shareholders' equity, with some volatility that aligns approximately with trends in total asset turnover.

Net Sales

Net sales demonstrated an overall upward trend throughout the period from March 31, 2017, to March 31, 2022. Starting at approximately 3.41 billion US dollars in 2017, sales increased steadily, reaching 6.82 billion US dollars in 2022. There was a notable acceleration in growth between 2021 and 2022, with sales growing from around 5.44 billion to 6.82 billion US dollars, indicating strong market demand or successful sales strategies during that interval.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

The net value of property, plant, and equipment fluctuated over the years without displaying a clear consistent trend. Starting at approximately 683 million US dollars in 2017, the value increased to a peak of nearly 997 million in 2019. However, it declined in 2020 and 2021 to around 854 million before rising again to about 968 million in 2022. This pattern suggests periods of asset acquisition and possible disposal or depreciation impacts, with a recovery or reinvestment phase in the latest year reported.

Net Fixed Asset Turnover

The net fixed asset turnover ratio showed a continuous improvement over the six-year span, increasing from 4.99 in 2017 to 7.05 in 2022. This ratio measures the efficiency of fixed assets in generating sales, and the consistent rise indicates enhanced utilization or better productivity of the company’s fixed assets. The increase suggests that the company's fixed assets are generating higher sales revenue over time, reflecting effective asset management and operational efficiency.

The analysis of the annual financial data reveals several notable trends in the company's operational and asset management performance over the examined periods.

Net Sales

Net sales demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory from 2017 through 2022, increasing from approximately 3.41 billion US dollars in 2017 to about 6.82 billion US dollars in 2022. There was a significant surge between 2018 and 2019, where net sales rose by roughly 34%, followed by a slight dip in 2020. However, net sales rebounded in 2021 and achieved the highest recorded value in 2022, indicating strong revenue growth overall.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

The net value of property, plant, and equipment, inclusive of operating lease right-of-use assets, displayed steady growth across the years. Starting at approximately 683.3 million US dollars in 2017, the figure increased to 1.12 billion by 2022. Although minor fluctuations occurred, the general trend indicates a gradual expansion or reinvestment into fixed assets, with a notable rise between 2018 and 2019.

Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)

The net fixed asset turnover ratio shows an improving efficiency in the use of fixed assets to generate sales. The ratio increased from 4.99 in 2017 to 6.08 in 2022, with a relatively steady increment each year. This suggests enhanced utilization or productivity of property, plant, and equipment over time, reflecting positively on asset management strategies.

In summary, the company has experienced substantial growth in net sales accompanied by an increase in fixed asset base. Importantly, the rising net fixed asset turnover ratio signals improved efficiency in generating revenues from assets, emphasizing effective capital utilization throughout the period.

Net Sales

Net sales exhibited an overall upward trend from 2017 to 2022. Starting at approximately 3.41 billion USD in 2017, sales increased steadily to reach about 6.82 billion USD by 2022. There was a minor decline observed in 2020, with sales slightly dropping from 5.35 billion USD in 2019 to 5.27 billion USD, followed by recovery and growth in subsequent years.

Total Assets

Total assets grew substantially from around 7.69 billion USD in 2017 to a peak of 18.35 billion USD in 2019. After 2019, total assets showed a declining pattern, decreasing to about 16.20 billion USD by 2022. This indicates an increase in asset base up to 2019, followed by a consistent contraction in the following years.

Total Asset Turnover Ratio

The total asset turnover ratio decreased markedly between 2017 and 2019, dropping from 0.44 to 0.29. This reflects a reduction in efficiency in generating sales from assets during that period. However, starting in 2020, the ratio began to improve, rising to 0.42 by 2022. Despite this partial recovery, the turnover ratio in 2022 remained below the 2017 level, suggesting that asset utilization efficiency has not fully returned to earlier performance levels.

Overall Analysis

The data indicates a strong growth in sales over the six-year period, which is somewhat contrasted by more volatile changes in total assets. The sharp increase in assets up to 2019, followed by a decline, alongside a dip and partial recovery in asset turnover, suggests a period of expansion possibly accompanied by over-investment or inefficiencies. The subsequent improvement in asset turnover ratio may point to strategic adjustments aimed at better asset management and utilization. Nevertheless, the asset turnover ratio still not reaching the initial levels might imply room for further optimization in leveraging the asset base to generate sales.

Net Sales

The net sales demonstrated an overall upward trend over the six-year period. Starting at approximately 3.41 billion USD in March 2017, the figure increased steadily to reach 6.82 billion USD by March 2022. There was a significant growth between 2018 and 2019, where sales jumped from roughly 3.98 billion USD to 5.35 billion USD. Although a slight decline was observed in 2020, the sales rebounded in subsequent years, with consistent growth through 2021 and 2022, suggesting strong market demand or successful business expansion during these years.

Stockholders’ Equity

The stockholders' equity also showed considerable growth over the review period. Beginning at about 3.27 billion USD in 2017, equity rose sharply to 5.29 billion USD by 2019. Thereafter, the equity values maintained a relatively stable range with a slight increase in 2020 to 5.59 billion USD, followed by a marginal decrease in 2021 and then rising again to 5.89 billion USD in 2022. This trend indicates overall strengthening of the company's financial base, despite some minor fluctuations.

Equity Turnover

The equity turnover ratio displayed variability without a clear linear trend. It started at 1.04 in 2017, increased to a peak of 1.21 in 2018, and then dropped to 1.01 in 2019. This ratio further declined to its lowest point of 0.94 in 2020, suggesting a reduction in the efficiency with which equity was being utilized to generate sales. However, a recovery was noted in 2021 and 2022, with ratios climbing back to 1.02 and then 1.16, indicating improving efficiency in later years. The fluctuations may reflect operational adjustments or changes in investment strategy over time.
