The analysis of the property, plant, and equipment data over the observed periods reveals several noteworthy trends and shifts.

Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization
There is a consistent upward trend in accumulated depreciation and amortization from 1,011 million USD in early 2020 to 4,401 million USD by early 2025. This reflects an ongoing allocation of the cost of property and equipment over time, suggesting extensive capital expenditure in prior periods and increasing asset base requiring amortization.
Property and Equipment, Gross
The gross property and equipment figures have risen significantly, nearly quadrupling from 2,685 million USD in early 2020 to 10,684 million USD in early 2025. This sharp increase indicates intensified capital investment in fixed assets, potentially related to capacity expansion or upgrading facilities.
Land
The value of land remained constant at 218 million USD for several years until early 2024, when it more than doubled to 511 million USD. This jump may represent a substantial acquisition of new land assets or revaluation reflecting market conditions.
Average Age Ratio
The average age ratio of the property and equipment showed a gradual increase from around 41.0% in 2020 to a peak of 48.7% in early 2024, followed by a decrease to 43.3% by early 2025. This pattern suggests assets generally aged until 2024, after which newer assets or asset replacements lowered the overall average age of the fixed asset base.

Overall, the data indicates robust investment in property and equipment assets, accompanied by rising accumulated depreciation consistent with asset aging and capital expenditure cycles. The large increase in land values and fluctuations in average age ratio provide additional context for asset management and capital strategy considerations.

= () ÷ =


Property and Equipment, Gross
The gross value of property and equipment shows a consistent and substantial increase over the examined period, rising from $2,685 million in early 2020 to $10,684 million by early 2025. This increase indicates significant capital investment and expansion of fixed assets, with the largest absolute growth observed between 2024 and 2025.
Land
The recorded value for land remains constant at $218 million from 2020 through 2024, followed by a considerable increase to $511 million in early 2025. This suggests an acquisition or revaluation of land assets occurred in the final year reported.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense has increased steadily each year, starting at $355 million in 2020 and reaching $1,300 million in 2025. The rise in depreciation aligns with the growth in property and equipment, reflecting the higher base of depreciable assets and possibly shorter depreciation cycles or changes in asset composition over time.
Estimated Total Useful Life
The estimated total useful life of assets remained stable at seven years from 2020 through 2023, increasing to eight years in 2024 and maintaining this estimate in 2025. The extension in useful life may indicate a change in asset mix towards longer-lived assets or a revaluation of asset longevity assumptions.

2025 Calculations

1 Time elapsed since purchase = Accumulated depreciation and amortization ÷ Depreciation expense
= ÷ =


Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization
The accumulated depreciation and amortization shows a consistent upward trend over the analyzed periods. Starting from 1,011 million USD in early 2020, it increased steadily each year, reaching 4,401 million USD by early 2025. This indicates a continuous allocation of asset cost over time, reflecting an expanding base of depreciable assets or aging of existing assets.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense also demonstrates a rising trajectory throughout the periods reviewed. It rose from 355 million USD in January 2020 to 1,300 million USD by January 2025, with notably accelerated growth occurring between 2023 and 2025. This suggests increased asset acquisitions or changes in depreciation methods or estimates that led to higher charges during recent years.
Time Elapsed Since Purchase
The average time elapsed since purchase of the assets remains relatively stable, fluctuating between 3 and 4 years over the period, with a small increase to 4 years in 2024 before returning to 3 years in 2025. This stability implies a consistent turnover rate or replacement cycle of property, plant, and equipment.
Overall Insights
The data exhibits a clear pattern of sustained growth in both accumulated depreciation and annual depreciation expense, reflecting ongoing investment in property, plant, and equipment as well as maturation of existing assets. The relatively stable average age of assets implies that acquisitions and disposals are managed in a manner to maintain a consistent asset base lifecycle.
