The net fixed asset turnover ratio shows a clear upward trend from the earliest available data point in October 2019 onward. Starting at 9.8, the ratio exhibits steady growth over the quarters, reaching 24.18 by April 2025. This pattern indicates increasing efficiency in utilizing net fixed assets to generate revenue over the analyzed period.
When including operating leases and right-of-use assets, the net fixed asset turnover begins lower, at 9.8 in October 2019 but drops significantly to 5.03 in January 2020, before gradually increasing again. By April 2025, this adjusted ratio climbs to 12.25. Although the adjusted ratio remains lower than the net fixed asset turnover alone, the persistent increase after the initial drop suggests improved resource utilization, considering the impact of lease accounting changes.
The total asset turnover ratio demonstrates relative stability with minor fluctuations between 0.38 and 0.50. Its values oscillate around the 0.40 to 0.47 range over the entire period without any consistent upward or downward trend. This stability suggests that the overall asset base turnover rate remained fairly steady over time.
Equity turnover displays substantial volatility. Initially showing values around 1.83 to 1.99, it abruptly elevates to 4.38 in July 2019, followed by fluctuations with some peaks such as 41.24 in April 2022 and 26.20 in July 2022. After these spikes, the ratio decreases progressively, ending near 1.23 in April 2025. The large spikes may imply episodic increases in revenue relative to average shareholders' equity, possibly due to changes in equity, earnings variability, or other extraordinary factors. The later decline indicates normalization or stabilization in equity utilization efficiency.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in revenue, property and equipment, net values, and net fixed asset turnover ratios over the examined periods.
- Revenue Trends
- Revenue shows a consistent upward trajectory from October 2018 to April 2025. Starting at approximately $656 million in late 2018, revenue rises steadily with minor fluctuations, reaching around $2.29 billion by the final reported quarter in April 2025. Notable growth periods include the intervals from early 2021 to late 2023, where revenue increments appear more pronounced. This sustained increase indicates robust sales performance and expanding business operations over the years.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The net value of property and equipment remains relatively stable throughout the period analyzed, fluctuating in a narrow range around $275 million to $367 million. Initial values are around $276 million in late 2018, dipping slightly below $320 million in early 2021 before increasing to over $360 million in early 2025. These moderate changes suggest controlled investment and depreciation activities related to fixed assets, maintaining asset levels in line with operational needs.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, reflecting the efficiency of asset utilization to generate revenue, shows a strong upward trend starting from the reported value around 9.8 in mid-2019 to 24.18 by April 2025. This nearly 2.5-fold improvement over the period indicates enhanced productivity and more effective use of fixed assets in producing revenue. The steady increase suggests better asset management, possibly due to optimization efforts or shifts toward higher-margin products or services requiring less asset intensity.
Overall, the data portrays a company that is growing its revenue significantly while maintaining stable asset levels. The improvement in net fixed asset turnover ratio emphasizes increasing operational efficiency, implying that revenue growth is being achieved without proportionate increases in fixed assets. This scenario indicates scaling of the business with improved capital utilization.

The financial data reveals several notable trends concerning revenue, property and equipment, and net fixed asset turnover over the analyzed quarters.
- Revenue
- The revenue demonstrates a consistent upward trajectory throughout the periods presented. Starting from approximately $656 million in October 2018, it progressively increased quarter over quarter with some minor fluctuations. The revenue surpassed the $1 billion mark around January 2021 and continued this growth pattern, reaching over $2.28 billion by July 2024. This steady increase suggests effective growth strategies and expanding business operations over the years.
- Property and Equipment, Net (including operating lease, right-of-use asset)
- For the net property and equipment values, there is an initial fluctuation from October 2018 through mid-2019, with values around $276 million to $296 million. A significant jump occurs in October 2019 to approximately $599 million, after which the values fluctuate within a range of approximately $576 million to $750 million. Noticeably, from mid-2023 onwards, the asset base remains relatively stable, hovering around $720 million to $750 million with a slight downward adjustment by April 2025. This pattern indicates considerable investment or acquisition of fixed assets around late 2019, followed by maintenance of these asset levels with moderate fluctuations in subsequent years.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio data is partial but indicates a clear upward trend starting from 9.8 in early 2019, declining briefly to around 5.03 and 5.37 mid-2019, followed by continuous improvement over time. From January 2020 onward, the ratio steadily climbs, reaching values above 10 from mid-2021 through to 12.25 by April 2025. This increasing ratio reflects improving efficiency in generating revenue relative to the fixed asset base, suggesting enhanced asset utilization and operational efficiency.
In summary, the data indicates robust revenue growth accompanied by significant fixed asset investments around late 2019. Despite the increase in assets, the company's efficiency in leveraging these assets to generate revenue has improved markedly, as demonstrated by the rising net fixed asset turnover ratio. These trends collectively point to scalable operations with improved asset management efficiency over the periods analyzed.

- Revenue Trends
- The revenue exhibits a consistent upward trajectory from October 2018 through July 2024, increasing from 656 million USD to approximately 2.29 billion USD. Some fluctuations are noted; for instance, revenue dipped slightly in the quarter ending October 2019 compared to the prior quarter but continued to grow thereafter. The fastest growth occurs between mid-2021 and mid-2023, where quarterly revenue surpassed the 1 billion USD mark and approached nearly 2 billion USD by mid-2023. Minor declines or stagnation appear around late 2023 and early 2024 but overall reflect sustained growth over the examined period.
- Total Assets Trends
- Total assets rose steadily from 5.8 billion USD in late 2018 to over 22 billion USD by mid-2024. The asset base expanded at an accelerating pace from early 2023 onward, signaling substantial investment or asset acquisition. Notable jumps occur around mid-2020 and again from early 2023, each followed by periods of further growth. The pace of asset accumulation outstrips revenue growth, suggesting an increasing asset base relative to generated sales.
- Total Asset Turnover Ratio Analysis
- The total asset turnover ratio, available from April 2019 onward, exhibits moderate fluctuations within a range roughly between 0.38 and 0.5. Initial reported ratios near 0.44 declined somewhat in late 2020 before gradually rising to about 0.48 by early 2023. From that point, turnover ratios showed a slight downward tendency toward 0.4 by mid-2024. This pattern indicates a moderate decline in how efficiently assets generate revenue over time, reflecting the rapid growth in total assets relative to revenue increases.
- Overall Summary
- The data reveals strong revenue growth accompanied by a significantly expanding asset base, with asset growth generally outpacing revenue. While revenue nearly quadrupled over the span, total assets nearly quadrupled as well but accelerated more sharply in recent periods. The asset turnover ratio trend suggests that the company is generating relatively less revenue per unit of assets than earlier in the period, implying either capital-intensive growth initiatives or changes in asset utilization efficiency. These shifts could signal strategic investments prioritizing growth over immediate asset productivity.

The revenue of the company has demonstrated a consistent upward trend over the observed time periods. Starting from US$656 million in October 2018, the revenue increased steadily, with occasional periods of accelerated growth, reaching approximately US$2.29 billion by April 2025. This suggests a strong and expanding business over the years, with occasional fluctuations that are typical in growth trajectories.
Stockholders’ equity, on the other hand, shows a more volatile pattern. Initially, there is a general decline from US$1.25 billion in October 2018 to a significantly lower point in mid-2021, reaching a low of US$118 million in January 2022. Following this trough, the equity rebounds sharply and continues an upward trend, culminating in approximately US$7.23 billion by April 2025. The initial decline may indicate periods of financial restructuring, losses, or other capital adjustments, while the subsequent increase could reflect improved profitability, equity infusion, or asset revaluation.
The equity turnover ratio, which measures how efficiently the company uses its equity to generate revenue, also exhibits considerable variability. Early on, values range around 1.8 to 1.99, followed by a spike reaching as high as 41.24 in April 2022, indicating an unusual event or significant change in either revenue or equity levels at that time. After this peak, the ratio generally declines and stabilizes around lower values, approximately between 1.23 and 3.94 in the most recent periods. This pattern suggests periods of fluctuating operational efficiency or capital structure changes that temporarily impacted performance metrics.
