The net value of property, plant, and equipment demonstrated a generally upward trend. From US$198 million in 2017, the asset base increased each year with some minor fluctuations, reaching US$251 million by the end of 2021. The slight dip in 2020 to US$212 million from US$221 million in 2019 was temporary, with a significant rise thereafter.

Area Asset Turnover Ratio

The area asset turnover ratio, which measures revenue generated per unit of asset value, showed a decline from 1.54 in 2017 to a low of 1.05 in 2020, reflecting reduced efficiency in utilizing assets to generate revenue during that period. However, an improvement occurred in 2021, with the ratio climbing back to 1.4, suggesting enhanced asset productivity accompanying the revenue recovery.

Overall, the data highlights a period of asset growth coupled with revenue fluctuations. The decline in revenue and efficiency in 2019 and 2020 may indicate operational challenges or market conditions impacting the Netherlands area. The recovery seen in 2021 in both revenue and asset turnover ratio suggests a positive reversal in performance that could warrant further investigation into the drivers of this improvement.

The data indicates fluctuating revenue figures in the United States geographic area over the five-year period. Revenue experienced a slight decline from $922 million in 2017 to $919 million in 2018, followed by a more pronounced decrease to $840 million in 2019. This downward trend continued into 2020 with revenue at $750 million. However, there was a notable recovery in 2021, with revenue increasing to $964 million, surpassing the initial 2017 level.

Regarding property, plant and equipment (net), the data shows a generally decreasing trend throughout the period. The net value started at $770 million in 2017, slightly increased to $782 million in 2018, and further to $845 million in 2019. Subsequently, there was a decline to $766 million in 2020 and a further decrease to $719 million in 2021. This suggests a reduction in net fixed assets or possible disposals or depreciation outpacing additions in the latter years.

The area asset turnover ratio, which measures efficiency in using assets to generate revenue, demonstrated variability. It began at 1.2 in 2017 and remained fairly stable at 1.18 in 2018. In 2019 and 2020, the ratio declined to 0.99 and 0.98 respectively, indicating a drop in asset utilization efficiency. In 2021, there was a significant increase to 1.34, implying improved revenue generation relative to the asset base this year.

Overall, the data suggests that after a period of declining revenues and decreasing asset base, the company managed to enhance asset utilization and achieved higher revenue in 2021. The increased asset turnover ratio in 2021 aligns with the rebound in revenue, possibly reflecting operational improvements or market conditions favoring growth in the United States geographic area.
