The analysis of the quarterly financial ratios over the examined periods reveals several noteworthy trends in operational efficiency and asset management.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, available from March 31, 2017, exhibits a generally upward trajectory. Early values around 4.99 to 5.18 indicate initial stability, followed by a marked dip to 3.91 in September 2018. Subsequently, the ratio demonstrates consistent recovery and improvement, climbing steadily from 4.41 in December 2018 to a peak exceeding 7.20 in late 2022. This increase suggests progressively enhanced efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate sales over the long term.
- Total Asset Turnover
- Total asset turnover shows a similar pattern beginning with figures near 0.44–0.48 in 2017, succeeded by a sharp decrease to 0.22 in the third quarter of 2018. Post this trough, the ratio gradually recovers, reaching 0.5 by the end of 2022. This developing upward trend reflects improving overall effectiveness in deploying total assets to produce revenue, though the initial deep decline indicates a period of diminished asset productivity.
- Equity Turnover
- The equity turnover ratio fluctuates modestly over the periods but maintains a relatively narrow band around 1.0. Notable is a rise from approximately 1.04–1.22 in 2017, followed by a dip below 1.0 during late 2019 and early 2020, bottoming around 0.94. Subsequently, the ratio recovers and advances steadily from 1.0 in early 2021 to about 1.28 by the end of 2022. This trend signals a recent strengthening in the effectiveness with which equity capital is employed in generating revenue.
In summary, all three turnover ratios reflect an initial phase of modest to significant declines around 2018, followed by gradual and sustained improvement leading into 2022. The overall trends indicate enhanced asset utilization and capital efficiency, suggesting operational optimization and stronger revenue generation relative to both fixed assets and broader asset base, as well as equity. The data imply successful strategic adjustments or growth initiatives implemented after the downturn periods, resulting in progressively improved financial performance metrics.

The analysis of the provided quarterly financial data reveals notable trends in net sales, property, plant and equipment (PP&E) net values, and net fixed asset turnover ratios over the period from June 2016 to December 2022.
- Net Sales
- Net sales exhibit a consistent upward trajectory throughout the observed quarters. Starting at approximately 799 million US dollars in June 2016, net sales gradually increased with some fluctuations, surpassing 2 billion US dollars by the latter part of 2022. The data reflects a strong growth momentum in revenue generation, indicating increased market demand or expanded business activities over time. Despite minor reductions in some quarters, the overall pattern is one of sustained growth.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net (PP&E)
- The net value of property, plant and equipment shows a downward trend from June 2016 through mid-2020, declining from roughly 733 million US dollars to approximately 822 million US dollars. This decrease could be attributed to depreciation, asset disposals, or limited new capital expenditures during that period. However, from around mid-2020 onward, there is a reversal in this trend with PP&E values increasing steadily again, reaching over 1.1 billion US dollars by the end of 2022. This indicates new investments or asset acquisitions that expanded the fixed asset base in the most recent quarters.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency of fixed asset utilization to generate sales, is available starting from March 2017. The ratio initially hovers around 5.0 to 5.2, then exhibits a notable decrease to under 4.0 in mid-2018. Following this dip, the ratio steadily climbs through the subsequent quarters, reaching approximately 7.2 by the end of 2022. This upward trend implies improving operational efficiency, with higher sales generated per unit of investment in fixed assets. It reflects an enhancement in asset productivity, possibly facilitated by technological improvements, better capital allocation, or economies of scale.
Overall, the company shows a positive business growth pattern as evidenced by rising net sales and improving efficiency indicated by the net fixed asset turnover ratio. The initial decline and subsequent recovery in PP&E net values suggest a period of asset rationalization or underinvestment followed by renewed capital expenditure. This sequence aligns with the measured increase in asset efficiency, highlighting strategic adjustments in asset management aligning with revenue growth.

- Net Sales
-
Net sales display a general upward trend over the observed periods, starting at approximately $799 million in mid-2016 and increasing steadily to over $2.169 billion by the end of 2022. This growth, although not strictly linear, highlights sustained expansion in revenue generation. Some fluctuations are apparent, such as a peak around September 2018 at $1.432 billion followed by a slight decline to $1.329 billion by March 2019. Afterward, net sales gradually recover and show consistent growth, particularly from 2020 onwards, reflecting enhanced market demand or operational scale.
- Total Assets
-
Total assets exhibit significant variability throughout the timeline. From approximately $7.36 billion in June 2016, assets increase moderately until early 2018, after which they show a pronounced jump to levels around $18 billion and above from mid-2018 onward. Despite this large increase, a gradual decline is observed from around $18.2 billion in early 2019 to about $16.1 billion by late 2022. The pattern indicates a major asset base expansion around 2018, followed by a slow but steady contraction, possibly due to asset disposals, depreciation, or restructuring efforts.
- Total Asset Turnover
-
The total asset turnover ratio starts being reported from the end of 2016, initially at 0.44 and remains relatively stable with a slight upward velocity, moving towards 0.5 by the end of 2022. Notably, the ratio halves abruptly in mid-2018 to around 0.22 but then progressively recovers across the subsequent quarters. The increasing trend in asset turnover post-2018 suggests improved efficiency in using assets to generate sales, potentially reflecting operational improvements or asset base optimization following the earlier expansion.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in net sales, stockholders’ equity, and equity turnover over the period observed.
- Net Sales
- Net sales exhibit an overall upward trend with periodic fluctuations. Starting from approximately 799 million US dollars in mid-2016, net sales consistently increased to a peak exceeding 2.16 billion US dollars by the end of 2022. Notable growth phases occurred between mid-2017 and late 2018, and again from early 2021 onward. Despite minor dips in some quarters—such as a decline in late 2019—sales recover steadily in subsequent periods, indicating strong business expansion or market demand growth over the long term.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity displayed general growth across the analyzed periods, starting from about 2.53 billion US dollars in mid-2016 and increasing to over 6.31 billion US dollars by the end of 2022. The data highlight a significant rise between early 2018 and mid-2019, where equity nearly doubled from around 3.28 billion to over 5.1 billion US dollars, possibly reflecting retained earnings accumulation, capital injections, or other equity-enhancing activities. Following that phase, equity values remained relatively steady, with gradual increases noted through 2022.
- Equity Turnover
- The equity turnover ratio experienced variability but generally trended upward after early fluctuations. From a low of roughly 0.82 in mid-2018, the ratio improved to about 1.28 by the end of 2022. This trend suggests increasing efficiency in utilizing equity to generate sales. Notably, after an initial period of stable or slightly declining turnover around 2017-2019, a more pronounced upward trajectory began around 2020, coinciding with growth in net sales and more stable or slightly decreasing stockholders’ equity levels. The increase in equity turnover indicates improved asset usage and operational effectiveness in generating revenue from shareholders’ investments.
