The financial data reveals several notable trends over the analyzed period. Revenue demonstrates a general upward trajectory, starting from approximately 4.4 billion US dollars in 2010 and reaching a peak of over 11 billion US dollars by the end of 2021. This suggests significant growth in sales or business operations over the span of these years, with some years showing moderate fluctuations but overall a strong increase, especially from 2019 to 2021.

Total assets show a somewhat different pattern. Initially, total assets declined slightly from around 7.6 billion US dollars in 2010 to 6.4 billion in 2012 and remained relatively stable through 2014. Starting in 2015, there is a marked and substantial increase in total assets, peaking near 26.3 billion US dollars in 2015, followed by a gradual decline to roughly 20.9 billion US dollars in 2021. This pattern may indicate a major asset acquisition or investment in 2015, followed by asset optimization or divestitures in the following years.

Total asset turnover, which reflects how efficiently the company uses its assets to generate revenue, also offers important insights. From 2010 to 2014, this ratio increased from 0.58 to 0.82, indicating improved asset utilization. However, in 2015, the ratio dropped sharply to 0.23, coinciding with the spike in total assets, suggesting that the newly acquired assets were not immediately contributing to revenue generation. After 2015, total asset turnover showed gradual recovery, increasing to 0.53 by 2021, though it remained below the pre-2015 levels. This recovery could point to better integration and use of those assets over time, enhancing operational efficiency.

Revenue

Generally increasing over the period with significant growth post-2019, culminating in a high level in 2021.

Total assets

Declined slightly early on, then surged in 2015, possibly due to acquisitions or investments, and decreased gradually afterward.

Total asset turnover

Improved initially until 2014, dramatically declined in 2015 reflecting lower efficiency due to asset growth, then progressively improved though not to previous peak levels.

Overall, the data illustrates a phase of expansion involving substantial asset base increases, which initially reduced efficiency but was later followed by gradual improvements in asset productivity alongside continued revenue growth. This suggests a strategic investment period followed by operational adjustments aimed at enhancing effectiveness.
