- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The net operating profit after taxes experienced a decline from 7,224 million USD in 2020 to 6,394 million USD in 2021, indicating a contraction in operating profitability during this period. Subsequently, profitability recovered with an increase to 7,149 million USD in 2022. A substantial surge occurred in 2023 and 2024, with NOPAT almost doubling to 14,313 million USD and further rising to 18,486 million USD, reflecting a strong upward trend in operational efficiency or revenue growth in the latter years.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital showed a gradual upward trend over the five-year period. Starting at 7.41% in 2020, it slightly decreased to 7.37% in 2021 before increasing each subsequent year to reach 8.40% in 2024. This trend suggests a rising risk profile or higher expected returns demanded by investors over time, which could impact future investment decisions and valuation.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital remained relatively stable, with a modest increase from 177,902 million USD in 2020 to 187,599 million USD in 2024. This steadiness indicates limited changes in the company's asset base or capital employed over the period, suggesting a focus on maintaining capital structure or cautious asset growth.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit was negative from 2020 through 2022, indicating that the company did not generate returns above its cost of capital during these years. The deficit worsened from -5,966 million USD in 2020 to -7,357 million USD in 2022. However, a marked improvement is evident in 2023 as economic profit contracted to -336 million USD, almost reaching breakeven. In 2024, economic profit turned positive at 2,732 million USD, demonstrating that the company began to create value beyond its cost of capital, aligning with the notable increase in NOPAT during the same period.

The financial data reveals significant fluctuations and overall growth in the profitability metrics over the five-year period.
- Net Income
-
Net income shows a moderate decline from 3,064 million USD in 2020 to 2,590 million USD in 2022. Subsequently, there is a marked increase to 8,317 million USD in 2023, followed by a further rise to 11,339 million USD in 2024. This indicates a strong recovery and substantial growth in the last two years after a period of decline.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
-
NOPAT exhibits a decrease from 7,224 million USD in 2020 to 6,394 million USD in 2021, before increasing to 7,149 million USD in 2022. A significant surge is observed thereafter, with NOPAT reaching 14,313 million USD in 2023 and further climbing to 18,486 million USD in 2024. This trend reflects an improvement in operating efficiency and profitability after the initial decline.
Overall, while both net income and NOPAT experienced declines in the early years of the data, the subsequent periods demonstrate substantial growth. The acceleration in profitability metrics from 2023 onwards suggests successful operational improvements or favorable market conditions contributing to strengthened financial performance.

The analysis of the company's tax-related financial data over the five-year period reveals fluctuating trends with a notable increase in the most recent years.
- Income tax expense
- The income tax expense displays variability across the years. Initially, there was a decrease from $786 million in 2020 to $327 million in 2021, followed by a moderate increase to $556 million in 2022. However, a significant surge occurred in 2023, with the expense rising sharply to $2,682 million, and this upward trend continued into 2024, reaching $3,373 million. This pattern suggests a considerable change in taxable income or tax rates impacting the corporation during the latest two years.
- Cash operating taxes
- Cash operating taxes showed a gradual upward trend over the period. Starting at $895 million in 2020, this figure increased steadily to $1,053 million in 2021 and $1,058 million in 2022. The growth continued more modestly to $1,069 million in 2023 and then more notably to $1,244 million in 2024. The consistent increase indicates higher cash outflows related to operating taxes, potentially reflecting growth in operating activities or changes in tax payment structures.

2 Elimination of deferred taxes from assets and liabilities. See details »
3 Addition of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
4 Addition of deferred revenue.
5 Addition of restructuring initiatives.
6 Addition of equity equivalents to stockholders’ equity.
7 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
8 Subtraction of construction in progress.
The financial data over the five-year period displays several notable trends in key capital structure metrics. The total reported debt and leases have shown a consistent and gradual increase each year. This trend indicates a growing reliance on debt financing, as the total amount rose from approximately $104.2 billion at the end of 2020 to about $110.3 billion by the end of 2024.
In contrast, stockholders’ equity presented a different pattern. It increased from 2020 to 2022, peaking at nearly $69.7 billion, but then declined in the subsequent years, reaching approximately $61.7 billion by the end of 2024. This decline in equity after 2022 may suggest dividend distributions, share repurchases, or reduced retained earnings impacting the equity base.
Invested capital exhibited a steady rise over the period, though the rate of increase slowed towards the latter years. The invested capital grew from about $177.9 billion in 2020 to nearly $187.6 billion in 2024. This rise primarily reflects the combined effect of incremental increases in both debt and equity, despite the decrease in equity in later years.
- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- Consistently increased each year, signaling a rising debt burden and possibly a strategic shift towards leveraging external financing.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Increased initially but then showed a declining trend after 2022, which may indicate capital return actions or earnings impacts on retained earnings.
- Invested Capital
- Grew steadily throughout the period, reflecting an overall expansion in capital resources, supported mainly by debt increases given the equity decline in the later years.
Overall, the period reflects a growing balance sheet with a greater proportion of financing coming through debt, coupled with a decreasing equity base after a certain point. This could suggest increased financial risk or a deliberate strategy to optimize the capital structure and shareholder returns. Further analysis on profitability and cash flows would be necessary to assess the sustainability of these trends.

The analysis of annual financial data reveals distinct trends in economic profit, invested capital, and economic spread ratio over the five-year period ending in 2024.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit exhibited a consistent negative value from 2020 through 2023, starting at -5966 million USD in 2020 and worsening to -7357 million USD in 2022. However, there was a marked improvement in 2023, with the economic loss significantly narrowing to -336 million USD. By 2024, the company transitioned into a positive economic profit position, registering 2732 million USD. This shift indicates a turnaround in value creation after several years of negative economic profit.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital showed a gradual increase throughout the period. Starting at 177,902 million USD in 2020, it rose steadily to 187,599 million USD by 2024. The growth rate slowed in the later years, with relatively stable capital levels between 2022 and 2024, suggesting a stabilization in the scale of investments.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio remained negative from 2020 to 2023, reflecting a situation where returns did not exceed the cost of capital. It declined from -3.35% in 2020 to its lowest at -3.95% in 2022, correlating with the worsening economic profit. A significant improvement occurred in 2023 when the ratio neared zero at -0.18%, followed by a positive turn of 1.46% in 2024. This positive spread ratio aligns with the shift to positive economic profit and indicates enhanced efficiency in the use of invested capital.
Overall, the data indicates a trend of initial financial challenges with negative economic returns and losses, transitioning to improved profitability and positive returns on invested capital by 2024. Invested capital expanded moderately over the period, while value creation metrics greatly improved in the final two years, signaling potential operational or strategic enhancements contributing to economic profitability.

- Revenue Trends
- The company’s adjusted revenues displayed a generally positive trend over the analyzed period. Beginning at approximately 68.8 billion US dollars, revenues increased steadily, reaching nearly 81.8 billion US dollars by the end of the latest period. Despite a minor dip during the intermediate years, the overall trajectory indicates growth in revenue generation capacity.
- Economic Profit Evolution
- The economic profit figures reveal a significant transformation. Initially negative and substantial in size, the economic profit deteriorated further in the early years, reaching a low of approximately -7.36 billion US dollars. A marked improvement is observed in the most recent years, with economic profit turning positive and reaching above 2.7 billion US dollars by the end of the last period. This shift from large losses to positive economic profit suggests improved operational efficiency and value creation.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin followed a similar path to economic profit, starting from a negative margin near -8.67% and declining further to nearly -9.25%. However, there is a pronounced recovery in the latter periods, culminating in a positive margin of 3.34%. This turnaround indicates that the company has managed to enhance profitability relative to its revenue base, transitioning from loss-generating operations to profitable performance.
- Overall Analysis
- The financial data collectively suggest that the company faced challenges in achieving positive economic profit in the initial years, despite increasing revenues. The subsequent recovery and achievement of positive economic profit and profit margins reflect successful strategic or operational adjustments, improving profitability and economic value generation. Stability in revenue combined with enhanced profit margins signals a strengthening financial position over time.
