The total asset turnover ratio exhibits a fluctuating pattern over the period from 2005 to 2025. Initially, the ratio demonstrates volatility, followed by a consistent downward trend, and a slight recovery in the most recent years.

Initial Period (2005-2009)
From 2005 to 2009, the total asset turnover ratio varied between 1.64 and 2.46. It began at 1.87 in 2005, decreased to 1.64 in 2006, then increased to a peak of 2.46 in 2009. This period suggests a relatively efficient utilization of assets to generate revenue, although with some year-to-year inconsistency.
Downward Trend (2010-2017)
Beginning in 2010, a clear downward trend is observed. The ratio declined from 2.20 to 0.61 over seven years. This indicates a decreasing efficiency in asset utilization, meaning the company required more assets to generate each dollar of revenue. The most significant declines occurred between 2011 and 2013.
Stabilization and Slight Recovery (2018-2025)
From 2018 onwards, the ratio stabilized and showed a modest recovery. It remained around 0.61 in 2018, increased to 0.64 in 2020, and reached 0.81 in 2025. While still lower than the levels observed in the earlier years, this suggests a potential stabilization of asset utilization efficiency, or a slowing of the previous decline. The increase in 2024 and 2025 may indicate improved operational efficiency or a change in asset composition.
Overall Observations
The long-term trend reveals a substantial decrease in the total asset turnover ratio. This could be attributed to several factors, including increased investment in long-term assets, changes in business model requiring more capital, or slower revenue growth relative to asset growth. The recent stabilization and slight recovery warrant further investigation to determine if this represents a sustainable improvement in asset utilization.
