Net Income Trends
The net income attributable to stockholders demonstrates considerable fluctuation over the period. Starting at 2,128 million USD in mid-2005, it rose steadily to a peak of 5,387 million USD by mid-2008. A sharp reversal occurred in 2009, with a significant loss of 3,378 million USD, indicating a notable financial challenge or one-time charge during that fiscal year. Following this loss, net income recovered to positive territory, maintaining moderate to strong levels from 2010 to 2015, peaking again at 8,306 million USD in 2015. However, subsequent years saw a decline and further volatility, with values fluctuating between approximately 2,700 and 4,400 million USD through 2018. This pattern suggests periods of both operational strength and difficulty, with some years experiencing exceptional performance and others marked by setbacks.
Total Assets Trends
The total assets held by the entity showed growth from 54,692 million USD in 2005 to a high point of 62,343 million USD in 2007, followed by a general decline to 50,051 million USD in 2015. A slight recovery was observed thereafter, reaching 53,831 million USD by 2018. Overall, the asset base contracted by roughly 13% over the 14-year span, which could reflect asset sales, divestitures, or depreciation outpacing asset additions.
Return on Assets (ROA) Trends
ROA exhibited significant variation in the timeframe examined. Initially moderate at 3.89% in 2005, it climbed consistently to a peak of 8.65% by 2008, correlating with the increase in net income during this period. The negative net income in 2009 led ROA into negative territory (-6.36%), underscoring the impact of the loss on asset profitability. Post-2009, ROA rebounded, achieving a very high level of 16.6% in 2015, indicating strong profitability relative to asset base that year. Since then, ROA declined but remained positive, fluctuating between 5.7% and 8.29%, suggesting moderate efficiency in generating profits from assets.
Summary Insights
The financial performance over the period analyzed reflects considerable volatility. The notable loss in 2009 and the subsequent recovery highlight a year of extraordinary financial conditions or an operational challenge. The asset base decreased moderately over time, which, combined with the trends in net income and ROA, may suggest strategic restructuring or changing asset utilization. The peaks in profitability in 2013 and particularly in 2015 conform to the years with high net income, indicating effective asset deployment during those periods. However, the fluctuations in net income and ROA also imply potential sensitivity to market or operational conditions, requiring close monitoring of income sources and asset management effectiveness in future periods.
