The financial data reveals a gradual decline in both current assets and adjusted current assets over the five-year period.

Current assets

Reported in millions of US dollars, current assets decreased from 23,885 million at the end of 2020 to 18,404 million by the end of 2024. This steady decline suggests a reduction in short-term asset holdings or liquidity within the company over these years.

Adjusted current assets

Similarly, adjusted current assets showed a downward trend, starting at 24,079 million in 2020 and falling to 18,580 million in 2024. The adjusted figures closely mirror the trend seen in reported current assets, indicating consistent adjustments and reinforcing the observed decrease in short-term financial resources.

Overall, the data points to a consistent contraction in current assets and their adjusted counterparts, which may reflect changes in working capital management, asset utilization, or shifts in the company's operating environment during this period.

Total Assets

The total assets showed a gradual increase from 200,162 million US dollars at the end of 2020 to 211,338 million US dollars by the end of 2022. This represents an upward trend over the first three years. However, there was a slight decline in total assets in 2023, falling to 207,682 million US dollars, followed by a marginal recovery to 208,035 million US dollars in 2024. Overall, total assets experienced moderate growth initially but showed signs of stabilization with minor fluctuations in the more recent years.

Adjusted Total Assets

Adjusted total assets mirrored the trend seen in total assets. The values increased from 200,356 million US dollars in 2020 to 211,505 million US dollars in 2022. Similar to total assets, adjusted total assets decreased slightly to 207,843 million US dollars in 2023 before seeing a modest increase to 208,211 million US dollars in 2024. The close alignment between total assets and adjusted total assets suggests consistency in adjustments applied, and the overall movement implies a stable asset base with minor year-over-year variations in the latter periods.

The financial data over the five-year period demonstrates a fluctuating but ultimately declining trend in both current liabilities and adjusted current liabilities. Specifically, current liabilities increased from US$21,703 million in 2020 to a peak of US$24,742 million in 2022, before experiencing a notable reduction to US$20,174 million by the end of 2024. This represents an overall decrease of approximately 6.9% from 2020 to 2024, following the interim high point in 2022.

Similarly, adjusted current liabilities follow a comparable trajectory. They rose from US$20,673 million in 2020 to US$23,962 million in 2022, then declined to US$18,952 million in 2024. The adjusted measure shows a more pronounced reduction, decreasing by nearly 8.3% over the five-year span when measured from the initial to the final year, after peaking in 2022.

The data suggest a pattern where liabilities built up steadily through the initial years, reaching maximum levels in 2022, followed by a significant deleveraging phase during 2023 and 2024. This indicates enhanced management of short-term obligations, possibly reflecting improved liquidity or strategic debt reduction measures. The adjusted current liabilities being consistently lower than total current liabilities also highlight exclusions or adjustments that may better represent the company's operable short-term obligations.

Key observations:

- Peak liability levels were recorded in 2022 for both current and adjusted categories.

- A clear reduction trend in liabilities after 2022 suggests a shift towards strengthening the balance sheet.

- Adjusted current liabilities remain lower than reported current liabilities throughout, indicating adjustments for certain items or refinements in reported figures.

- The overall reduction in liabilities by the end of 2024 potentially signals improved financial stability and liquidity position.

The annual financial data indicates a gradual increase in total liabilities over the five-year period. The total liabilities rose from approximately 134.8 billion US dollars at the end of 2020 to about 146.3 billion US dollars by the end of 2024, reflecting a consistent upward trend. This suggests that the company has been increasing its debt or other liabilities at a moderate pace each year.

In contrast, the adjusted total liabilities, which may exclude certain components for a more accurate reflection of ongoing liabilities, show a slightly different pattern. Adjusted total liabilities increased from around 123.7 billion US dollars in 2020 to a peak of approximately 129.5 billion US dollars in 2022. Thereafter, there is a marginal decline to about 128.4 billion US dollars by the end of 2024. This slight reduction following the peak could indicate efforts to optimize or reduce certain liabilities despite the overall increase in total liabilities.

Total Liabilities

Exhibited a steady upward trend across the observed periods, with incremental increases each year, totaling an increase of approximately 11.5 billion US dollars over five years.

Adjusted Total Liabilities

Followed a similar increasing pattern until 2022, after which it showed a mild downward adjustment, indicating possible refinement in liability management or accounting practices.

Overall, the trends suggest continued leverage growth with some degree of internal adjustments in liability accounting or structure, reflecting nuanced financial management strategies within the period under review.

The financial data reveals a mixed trend regarding stockholders’ equity and adjusted stockholders’ equity over the five-year period from December 31, 2020, through December 31, 2024.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ equity increased moderately from 65,344 million US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 69,656 million US dollars in 2022. However, from 2022 onwards, it experienced a decline, falling to 64,715 million US dollars in 2023 and further down to 61,741 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This depicts a downward trend in the last two years after an initial growth phase.

Adjusted Stockholders' Equity

Adjusted stockholders’ equity showed a consistent upward movement from 76,697 million US dollars in 2020 to 81,957 million US dollars in 2022. Although there was a slight dip to 79,271 million US dollars in 2023, the figure rebounded mildly to 79,839 million US dollars in 2024. Overall, adjusted stockholders’ equity demonstrated greater stability and resilience compared to the reported stockholders’ equity, maintaining levels close to the peak.

In summary, while reported stockholders’ equity declined in the last two years after initial growth, adjusted stockholders’ equity remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations and only a slight decrease toward the end of the period. This divergence suggests potential adjustments or revaluations impacting the reported equity values, with adjusted equity providing a more consistent measure of the company’s equity base over time.

The financial data over the five-year period reveals several key trends in the company’s capital structure and financial positioning.

Total reported debt

Total reported debt shows a general upward trend, increasing from approximately 73.6 billion US dollars in 2020 to nearly 80.6 billion by 2024. Despite a slight decrease in 2022, the overall trajectory indicates a gradual rise in the company's reported liabilities.

Stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity increased from about 65.3 billion in 2020 to a peak near 69.7 billion in 2022, before experiencing a decline in subsequent years to approximately 61.7 billion by 2024. This decline in equity suggests potential changes in retained earnings, dividend payments, or share repurchases affecting the equity base during the latter years.

Total reported capital

Total reported capital, the sum of total debt and stockholders’ equity, initially rose from around 139.0 billion in 2020 to a high of about 145.9 billion in 2021, but then trended downward, ending at approximately 142.3 billion in 2024. This indicates a modest contraction in overall reported capitalization after 2021.

Adjusted total debt

The adjusted total debt figures exhibit a consistent upward movement throughout the period, increasing steadily from approximately 104.2 billion in 2020 to about 110.3 billion in 2024. This continuous rise in adjusted liabilities may reflect refinancing, new borrowings, or adjustments for off-balance-sheet obligations.

Adjusted stockholders’ equity

Adjusted stockholders’ equity increased from around 76.7 billion in 2020 to a peak of nearly 82.0 billion in 2022, followed by a decline and partial recovery, reaching approximately 79.8 billion in 2024. The fluctuation suggests some volatility in the adjusted equity base, possibly due to changes in accounting adjustments or other comprehensive income elements.

Adjusted total capital

Adjusted total capital steadily grew from about 180.9 billion in 2020 to roughly 190.1 billion in 2024. This steady growth contrasts with the slight dip seen in reported total capital, highlighting that adjusted figures account for factors leading to a more stable or rising capital base when considering additional adjustments.

Overall, the company’s debt levels, both reported and adjusted, exhibit a progressive increase over the analyzed timeframe. While reported equity and total capital demonstrate some volatility and a slight downward trend after peaking in 2021-2022, the adjusted measures generally show growth or stability. This may indicate that adjustments provide a perspective of strengthening capitalization amid rising debt levels. The interplay between increasing debt and fluctuating equity suggests a dynamic capital management approach, possibly aimed at balancing leverage with shareholder value considerations.

The financial data reveals several trends in the company's revenue performance over the five-year period. Both reported revenues and adjusted revenues demonstrate a general upward trajectory, with some fluctuations noted between certain years.

Revenues

Starting at approximately $68.4 billion in 2020, revenues experienced a significant increase to about $80.1 billion in 2021. However, the following years showed a slight decline and stabilization, with revenues recorded at around $79.6 billion in 2022 and $78.6 billion in 2023, before rising again to approximately $81.4 billion in 2024.

Adjusted Revenues

Adjusted revenues closely mirror the pattern observed in reported revenues, beginning at roughly $68.8 billion in 2020 and increasing to nearly $79.9 billion in 2021. There was a slight reduction to about $79.5 billion in 2022, followed by a marginal decline to $78.6 billion in 2023. In 2024, adjusted revenues reached approximately $81.8 billion, marking the highest value in the observed period.

Overall, the data suggests that while there was strong growth in revenues from 2020 to 2021, the subsequent years saw minor decreases and stabilization before recovering to new highs by 2024. The similarity between reported and adjusted revenue trends indicates consistent revenue recognition practices and a stable operational environment during the period analyzed.

The financial data reveals notable fluctuations and a generally upward trajectory in the net income and adjusted net income over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024.

Net Income

The net income exhibited a slight decline from 3,064 million US dollars in 2020 to 3,024 million US dollars in 2021. This was followed by a more pronounced decrease to 2,590 million US dollars in 2022. However, there was a significant recovery thereafter, with net income rising sharply to 8,317 million US dollars in 2023 and further increasing to 11,339 million US dollars in 2024. This pattern indicates a period of reduced profitability in 2021 and 2022, succeeded by strong growth and improved earnings in the last two years.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income also experienced a decrease from 3,435 million US dollars in 2020 to 3,138 million US dollars in 2021, mirroring the trend seen in net income. However, unlike net income, adjusted net income increased to 3,730 million US dollars in 2022. Subsequent years witnessed a pronounced surge, with adjusted net income reaching 10,680 million US dollars in 2023 and 14,866 million US dollars in 2024. This steady increase, especially in the latter years, suggests improvements in core earnings after removing certain adjustments and non-recurring items.

Overall, the data reflects a challenging period in 2021 and 2022, likely due to operational or market conditions affecting profitability. The remarkable growth in both net income and adjusted net income in 2023 and 2024 highlights a strong recovery and expansion phase. The gap between adjusted net income and net income also widens over the last two years, implying increased adjustments that potentially improve the normalized earnings perspective during this period.
