The financial data indicates several notable trends in profitability, capital investment, and economic value creation over the five-year period.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- There was a marked increase in NOPAT from 2019 to 2021, rising from approximately 499 million to over 1 billion US dollars. However, in 2022, this figure declined significantly to roughly 659 million, followed by a more pronounced drop in 2023 to approximately 314 million. This trend shows a peak in operating profits in 2021 before a steep reversal in subsequent years.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital steadily increased across the period, rising from 18.99% in 2019 to 20.5% in 2023. This gradual upward trend suggests increasing capital costs, which may inflate the hurdle rate for investment returns and impact economic profit.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital exhibited growth from 2019 through 2022, increasing from approximately 1.85 billion US dollars to around 2.59 billion in 2022. However, in 2023, invested capital decreased slightly to approximately 2.42 billion. The initial growth phase reflects increased investment or asset base expansion, followed by a modest contraction.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit experienced significant volatility. It grew substantially from 149 million in 2019 to over 522 million in 2021, indicating strong value creation above the cost of capital. Nonetheless, economic profit sharply declined to approximately 133 million in 2022 and turned negative in 2023 at approximately -181 million. This shift underscores diminishing returns on invested capital and an erosion of shareholder value in the latest year.
Overall, the data depicts a company that achieved strong operational profitability and economic profit up to 2021, supported by increased investment. However, escalating capital costs and declining NOPAT from 2022 onward contributed to a significant drop in economic profit, culminating in a negative value in 2023. This suggests challenges in maintaining returns above the cost of capital in the most recent period.

- Net Income
- Net income demonstrated a strong upward trend from 2019 through 2021, rising from approximately 467 million US dollars in 2019 to over 1 billion US dollars in 2021. However, this pattern reversed in the subsequent two years, with net income declining to about 715 million in 2022 and further decreasing to approximately 449 million in 2023.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- NOPAT followed a similar trajectory, increasing notably from around 499 million US dollars in 2019 to approximately 1.03 billion US dollars in 2021. After this peak, NOPAT experienced a significant decrease to roughly 659 million in 2022 and almost halved to 314 million in 2023.
- Overall Trend Analysis
- Both net income and NOPAT showed strong growth over the first three years before entering a period of marked contraction in the last two years. The declines in 2022 and 2023 suggest a reduced profitability from operations and overall earnings, potentially indicating operational challenges or external factors adversely affecting financial performance during this period.

- Provision for Income Taxes
- The provision for income taxes exhibited an overall increasing trend from 2019 through 2021, rising from 58,304 thousand US dollars in 2019 to a peak of 146,366 thousand US dollars in 2021. This increase suggests higher taxable income or possibly less favorable tax conditions during this period. However, from 2021 onward, there was a decline in the provision, falling to 124,884 thousand US dollars in 2022 and further to 76,820 thousand US dollars in 2023, indicating a reduction in income tax expense or changes in tax strategy or rates.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes also followed a rising trajectory from 2019 to 2021, with amounts increasing from 66,842 thousand US dollars in 2019 to 166,173 thousand US dollars in 2021. This upward movement corresponded with the trend seen in the provision for income taxes, reflecting potentially higher tax payments aligned with reported taxable earnings. After 2021, cash operating taxes remained relatively stable in 2022, slightly decreasing to 165,914 thousand US dollars, before a more pronounced reduction to 108,845 thousand US dollars in 2023.
- Comparative Insights
- Both the provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes indicate growth during 2019–2021, peaking in 2021, followed by notable declines in the subsequent years. The gap between provision and cash taxes narrows slightly by 2023, implying a convergence between estimated tax liabilities and actual cash outflows. The trends suggest possible fluctuations in taxable income levels, tax planning measures, or regulatory environments affecting the company’s tax expenses and payments during the observed timeframe.

- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- The total reported debt and leases demonstrate a significant downward trend throughout the analyzed period. Beginning at $460,012 thousand as of December 31, 2019, the amount slightly increased to $472,757 thousand in 2020, then sharply decreased to $184,581 thousand in 2021. This declining trajectory continued in subsequent years, reaching $132,885 thousand in 2022 and further reducing to $82,614 thousand by the end of 2023. This pattern indicates a strategic reduction in leverage over time, suggesting efforts to lower financial risk or improve debt management.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity shows an overall increasing trend with slight fluctuations. Starting at $1,480,158 thousand in 2019, it substantially grew to $2,207,018 thousand in 2020, followed by a continued rise to $2,562,444 thousand in 2021. However, in 2022, equity slightly decreased to $2,451,294 thousand before recovering to $2,525,897 thousand in 2023. This overall growth points towards retained earnings accumulation or capital infusions, enhancing the company's net worth and financial stability.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital displays a gradual increase in the earlier years, moving from $1,845,838 thousand in 2019 to $2,183,213 thousand in 2020, and then to $2,564,053 thousand in 2021. After peaking in 2022 at $2,587,403 thousand, it slightly contracted to $2,415,179 thousand in 2023. The steady increase through most of the periods indicates ongoing investments in operational assets and business growth, while the recent decline may reflect asset disposals, depreciation effects, or a strategic contraction.

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit showed a significant upward trend from 2019 to 2021, increasing from 148,863 thousand US dollars in 2019 to a peak of 522,504 thousand US dollars in 2021. However, this was followed by a sharp decline in 2022 to 132,712 thousand US dollars, and a further decline into negative territory in 2023, reaching -181,312 thousand US dollars. This indicates a deterioration in profitability after 2021, culminating in a loss in 2023.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital steadily increased from 1,845,838 thousand US dollars in 2019 to 2,587,403 thousand US dollars in 2022, showing an expansion of the capital base. There was a slight reduction in 2023 to 2,415,179 thousand US dollars, marking a contraction after years of growth. Overall, invested capital grew by approximately 30.8% from 2019 to the peak in 2022 before the minor decline.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio, reflecting the return on invested capital relative to the cost of capital, improved significantly from 8.06% in 2019 to 20.38% in 2021. This favorable performance deteriorated markedly in 2022, falling to 5.13%, and turned negative in 2023 at -7.51%, indicating that the company began to generate returns below its cost of capital, which aligns with the observed negative economic profit in 2023.
- Summary of Trends and Insights
- The company exhibited strong financial performance growth from 2019 through 2021 as evidenced by increasing economic profit and economic spread ratio alongside rising invested capital. However, starting in 2022, there was a clear reversal in profitability trends, with both economic profit and economic spread ratio declining sharply, culminating in losses in 2023. The reduction in invested capital in 2023 may indicate a strategic response to the declining returns or an adjustment to the capital structure following the deterioration in profitability. The negative economic spread ratio in 2023 suggests costs of capital exceeded the returns on investments, highlighting potential challenges in operational efficiency or market conditions that impacted overall financial performance.

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit demonstrated a strong upward trend from 148,863 thousand USD in 2019 to a peak of 522,504 thousand USD in 2021. However, it experienced a significant decline thereafter, dropping sharply to 132,712 thousand USD in 2022 and turning negative to -181,312 thousand USD in 2023, indicating a deterioration in the company's profitability over the last two years.
- Adjusted Revenues
- Adjusted revenues showed substantial growth from 2,335,354 thousand USD in 2019 to a high of 3,710,966 thousand USD in 2021. Following this peak, revenues declined to 3,147,355 thousand USD in 2022 and further decreased to 2,619,968 thousand USD by 2023. This pattern suggests the company faced revenue contraction after 2021.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin increased significantly from 6.37% in 2019 to 14.08% in 2021, reflecting improved cost efficiency or pricing power during this period. However, the margin then dropped markedly to 4.22% in 2022 and shifted into negative territory at -6.92% in 2023, signaling worsening profitability relative to revenues.
- Summary
- The data indicates that the company experienced a period of strong financial performance between 2019 and 2021, with rising economic profit, expanding revenues, and improving profit margins. Starting in 2022, both revenues and economic profit declined significantly, with economic profit turning negative in 2023. This reversal suggests challenges such as increased costs, reduced demand, or other operational difficulties adversely impacting financial results in the more recent years.
