Net income (loss)

The net income exhibited growth from 2020 to 2021, increasing from approximately $404 million to $589 million. However, a decline occurred in 2022, with net income falling to about $418 million. Subsequently, a pronounced reversal was observed starting in 2023, with the company reporting significant net losses, escalating sharply in both 2024 and 2025, reaching losses of approximately $4.5 billion by 2025.

Earnings before tax (EBT)

EBT followed a similar trajectory to net income, rising from around $458 million in 2020 to $678 million in 2021 before declining to roughly $465 million in 2022. From 2023 onwards, EBT entered negative territory, with losses deepening substantially in the subsequent years, culminating in a loss of approximately $4.49 billion in 2025.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)

EBIT demonstrated a pattern consistent with EBT and net income, increasing initially to a peak in 2021 at approximately $684 million. This was followed by a decrease to $484 million in 2022. Starting 2023, EBIT turned sharply negative, with losses intensifying each year through 2025, ending at about $4.32 billion in negative EBIT.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA showed growth from 2020 to 2021, rising from about $698 million to $917 million. It decreased in 2022 to approximately $763 million and then experienced a noteworthy decline in 2023 to $657 million. The trend then reversed dramatically as EBITDA turned negative in 2024 and 2025, with losses reaching close to $2.91 billion by 2025.

Overall, the financial data reflects positive earnings growth through 2021, followed by a downturn starting in 2022 that intensifies into substantial losses from 2023 onwards across all key profitability measures. The progression from positive to significant negative EBITDA and operating earnings suggests deteriorating operational performance and increasing financial challenges. This marked shift indicates either considerable adverse events impacting profitability or heightened expenses and impairments, requiring further investigation into the underlying causes of the sustained losses.

Enterprise Value (EV)

The enterprise value exhibits considerable volatility over the observed periods. Starting at approximately 13.46 billion, it increased to about 17.47 billion by March 2021, before dropping significantly to 11.34 billion in March 2022. Subsequently, it rose sharply to 25.29 billion in March 2023 and continued expanding to around 27.87 billion in March 2024, reaching a notable high of 44.32 billion as of March 2025. This pattern indicates fluctuating market perceptions and capital structure changes with a strong upward trajectory in the later periods.

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA started at 697.6 million and increased to 916.8 million by March 2021, showing growth in operational profitability. However, it then declined to 763.3 million in March 2022 and further decreased to 656.8 million in March 2023, suggesting challenges in maintaining earnings capacity. The most notable trend is the sharp negative swing, with EBITDA turning significantly negative to -1.72 billion and then worsening to -2.91 billion in the subsequent years, reflecting operational losses or exceptional expenses impacting profitability adversely.

EV/EBITDA Ratio

The EV/EBITDA ratio showed a downward trend from 19.3 to 14.86 between 2020 and 2022, indicating improving valuation multiples relative to earnings. However, by March 2023, the ratio surged to 38.51, likely driven by the decline in EBITDA, signaling overvaluation concerns or diminished earnings quality. The ratio is not reported for the last two periods, which coincides with negative EBITDA values, rendering this valuation metric less meaningful or calculable during periods of losses.
