Adjustment to Net Income (Loss): Mark to Market Available-for-sale Securities
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).
The financial data demonstrates a clear positive trend in both reported and investment-adjusted net income over the five-year period analyzed. Starting from December 31, 2020, the net income figures show significant growth.
- Reported Net Income
- The reported net income increased markedly from $2,761,395 thousand in 2020 to $5,116,228 thousand in 2021, reflecting a strong year-over-year increase. In 2022, a slight decline to $4,491,924 thousand was observed; however, this was followed by a rebound in 2023 to $5,407,990 thousand and a substantial rise in 2024 to $8,711,631 thousand. The pattern suggests overall strong financial performance with some variability but a positive upward trajectory by the end of the period.
- Adjusted Net Income
- The adjusted net income mirrors the reported net income values closely, indicating minimal adjustments affecting net income figures. Adjusted net income also climbed from $2,761,395 thousand in 2020 to $5,116,228 thousand in 2021, dipped slightly in 2022 to $4,491,924 thousand, then increased to $5,407,990 thousand in 2023, and peaked at $8,714,142 thousand in 2024. The close alignment between reported and adjusted net income suggests consistency in accounting treatments and earnings quality.
Overall, the data reveals robust earnings growth over the analyzed years. The substantial increase in net income by 2024 indicates improved profitability, potentially driven by operational efficiencies, revenue growth, or other favorable business developments. The slight dip in 2022 may warrant further investigation but does not detract from the positive trend evident in the longer term.
Adjusted Profitability Ratios: Mark to Market Available-for-sale Securities (Summary)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin exhibited a generally positive trajectory over the observed period. Starting at 11.05% in 2020, it increased notably to 17.23% in 2021, followed by a decline to 14.21% in 2022. Subsequently, the margin rebounded to 16.04% in 2023 and further improved to 22.34% in 2024. This pattern reflects fluctuations with an overall upward trend, indicating enhanced profitability efficiency in the most recent year.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- The ROE values reveal a similar pattern to the net profit margin, underscoring changes in shareholder returns. ROE increased significantly from 24.96% in 2020 to a peak of 32.28% in 2021, then declined sharply to 21.62% in 2022. From 2022 onwards, it showed a recovery to 26.27% in 2023, followed by a substantial increase to 35.21% in 2024. These fluctuations suggest variability in the company’s effectiveness at generating returns from equity, with a strong recovery and peak performance in 2024.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The ROA also demonstrated notable variation but with an overall improving trend. It started at 7.03% in 2020, rose markedly to 11.48% in 2021, decreased to 9.24% in 2022, and then increased to 11.10% in 2023. The ROA improved significantly by 2024, reaching 16.24%. This progression indicates enhanced efficiency in asset utilization to generate profits, especially evident in the latter years.
- Consistency Between Reported and Adjusted Figures
- The reported and adjusted financial metrics were identical for all periods analyzed, suggesting that adjustments did not materially impact these specific performance ratios or that the reported figures already reflect adjustments. This consistency reinforces the reliability of the trends observed in the data.

The financial data illustrates the net income performance and net profit margins over a five-year period, from 2020 through 2024, presented in both reported and investment-adjusted terms. The reported and adjusted figures for each metric are identical, indicating no discrepancies between the raw and adjusted financial outcomes.
- Net Income Trends
-
Net income, measured in thousands of US dollars, shows a consistent upward trajectory. Beginning at approximately 2.76 million in 2020, it nearly doubles to around 5.12 million in 2021. Although there is a slight decline in 2022 to about 4.49 million, the income rebounds strongly in 2023 to roughly 5.41 million and surges significantly in 2024 to approximately 8.71 million. This pattern indicates robust overall growth with a minor dip in the middle period.
- Net Profit Margin Trends
-
The net profit margin percentages correspond closely with net income trends. Starting at 11.05% in 2020, the margin increases sharply to 17.23% in 2021. Then, it declines modestly to 14.21% in 2022, before rising again to 16.04% in 2023. By 2024, the margin reaches a high of 22.34%, representing a significant improvement in profitability relative to revenue. This fluctuation mirrors the variations seen in net income, suggesting effective management of costs and expenses during periods of income change.
- Comparative Analysis
-
The identical values in both reported and adjusted metrics imply that there were no material adjustments required for investment-related items, reinforcing the integrity and transparency of the reported financial results. The substantial growth particularly in 2024 may reflect enhanced operational efficiencies, higher revenue realization, or other positive financial drivers.

- Net Income Trends
- Both reported and adjusted net income demonstrate a general upward trajectory over the five-year span. Starting at approximately 2.76 billion US dollars in 2020, net income more than doubles by 2021, reaching about 5.12 billion US dollars. A slight contraction occurs in 2022, where net income declines to around 4.49 billion US dollars. However, in 2023, net income recovers and increases to roughly 5.41 billion US dollars. The most significant growth is observed in 2024, where net income jumps substantially to approximately 8.71 billion US dollars. The alignment between reported and adjusted net income values indicates minimal adjustments, suggesting consistent measurement without significant extraordinary items or accounting changes affecting net income.
- Return on Equity (ROE) Patterns
- The reported and adjusted ROE percentages mirror each other closely, signaling that the adjustments have negligible impact on this profitability metric. ROE initially shows robust performance in 2020 at nearly 25%. It peaks in 2021 at over 32%, indicating enhanced profitability relative to shareholder equity during this period. In 2022, ROE experiences a decline to approximately 21.6%, pointing to a reduction in profitability efficiency. The subsequent year, 2023, marks a recovery with ROE increasing to approximately 26.3%. The highest ROE is recorded again in 2024 at about 35.2%, highlighting improved financial performance and effective use of equity capital.
- Overall Insights
- The data suggests a generally positive growth trend in profitability and capital efficiency, despite a temporary dip in performance in 2022. The substantial increase in both net income and ROE in the most recent period indicates strengthening operational results and effective management. The close match between reported and adjusted figures emphasizes the reliability and stability of the reported results across the analyzed timeframe.

- Net Income Trends
- The reported net income demonstrated a significant upward trajectory over the observed periods. Starting from approximately 2.76 billion US dollars in 2020, it nearly doubled to 5.12 billion US dollars in 2021. Although there was a decline in 2022 to around 4.49 billion US dollars, the figure rebounded in 2023 to 5.41 billion US dollars and showed a strong increase in 2024, reaching approximately 8.71 billion US dollars. The adjusted net income closely mirrors the reported net income throughout the years, indicating consistent adjustments and minimal deviations.
- Return on Assets (ROA) Trends
- Reported ROA followed a pattern similar to that of net income. Initially recorded at 7.03% in 2020, the ROA improved significantly to 11.48% in 2021. It then experienced a decline in 2022, down to 9.24%, followed by recovery in 2023 at 11.1%, and eventual growth to a peak of 16.24% in 2024. Adjusted ROA figures aligned almost identically with reported ROA percentages, suggesting that adjustments had negligible impact on asset efficiency measures.
- Overall Observations
- The financial data indicates a general trend of growth and increased profitability over the five-year period. The fluctuations in 2022 present a temporary dip in both net income and ROA, which was subsequently overcome with notable improvements in the following years. The close correspondence between reported and adjusted figures suggests that the company's financial adjustments are consistent and do not substantially alter the reported outcomes. The marked improvement in ROA by 2024 demonstrates enhanced effectiveness in utilizing assets to generate earnings.
