The analysis of the financial data over the period from 2010 to 2021 reveals notable variations and trends in profitability, asset base, and return on assets.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Stockholders
- The net income demonstrates considerable volatility throughout the period. There were losses in 2010 and 2012, with -$456 million and -$115 million respectively. Positive net income is observed in all other years, with a general trend of increasing profitability from 2013 to 2017, peaking at $2,215 million in 2017 and maintaining a similar high level in 2018. However, there is a sharp decline in 2019 to $243 million, followed by a significant drop to $52 million in 2020, before rebounding strongly to $1,871 million in 2021. This pattern suggests fluctuating operational performance with periods of strong recovery.
- Total Assets
- The total assets remain relatively stable between 2010 and 2014, fluctuating in the range of approximately $6,400 million to $7,600 million. A substantial increase is observed in 2015, rising sharply to $26,354 million, and remaining elevated above $19,800 million through to 2021. This jump could indicate a major acquisition, investment, or restructuring activity occurring around 2015. Post-2015, total assets show a mild declining trend but remain significantly higher compared to the period before 2015.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA mirrors the volatility seen in net income. Negative or very low returns are noted in 2010 (-5.97%), 2012 (-1.79%), and modest returns in 2016 (0.8%), 2019 (1.21%), and 2020 (0.26%). Positive peaks are evident in 2014 (7.82%), 2017 (9.21%), 2018 (10.26%), and 2021 (8.97%), consistent with the periods of higher net income. The ROA trend indicates variable efficiency in utilizing assets to generate earnings, with significant improvements during years of higher profitability and declines aligned with reduced income and increased asset base.
