1 US$ in thousands
The financial data reveals several notable trends concerning net income, total assets, and return on assets (ROA) over the period from 2005 to 2024.
- Net Income
- Net income demonstrated a general upward trajectory throughout the years, with some fluctuations. Starting at $42,027 thousand in 2005, it showed steady growth until 2011, peaking at $226,126 thousand. A significant dip occurred in 2012 with net income dropping to $17,152 thousand, followed by a recovery and strong increases thereafter. From 2013 to 2024, net income rose substantially, reaching $8,711,631 thousand by 2024, indicating robust profitability and growth momentum in recent years.
- Total Assets
- Total assets followed a consistently increasing trend from $364,681 thousand in 2005 to $53,630,374 thousand in 2024, reflecting aggressive asset accumulation or expansion strategies. The largest jumps occurred between 2010 and 2012 and continued steadily through subsequent years, showing scaling operations or substantial investments in assets.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA exhibited notable variability across the period. It started at 11.52% in 2005 and experienced declines and fluctuations, reaching a low of 0.43% in 2012, coinciding with the sharp drop in net income. After 2012, ROA gradually improved, surpassing 10% again by 2021. The upward trend continued, with ROA peaking at 16.24% in 2024, signaling increasingly efficient use of assets to generate profit in recent years.
Overall, the data indicates that despite periods of volatility, the company has expanded its asset base substantially while improving profitability and efficiency in asset utilization, especially after 2012. The strong upward momentum in net income and ROA in the latter years reflects enhanced operational performance and financial health.
