Sales Trend
Sales exhibited a consistent upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from $42,202 million in 2005 to $136,866 million in 2019. The growth was relatively steady, with occasional periods of more rapid expansion, notably between 2013 and 2016, where sales jumped from $72,217 million to $117,351 million. This indicates a strong and sustained growth in revenue generation capabilities.
Total Assets Trend
Total assets also showed an overall increasing pattern, growing from $14,609 million in 2005 to $67,598 million in 2019. Noteworthy is the significant asset base expansion occurring between 2013 and 2015, where assets nearly doubled from $37,182 million to $68,782 million. Following this peak, total assets experienced a modest decline and some fluctuations but remained substantially higher than in the initial years.
Total Asset Turnover Trend
The total asset turnover ratio, reflecting the efficiency of asset utilization to generate sales, demonstrated a declining trend from 2.89 in 2005 to a low of 1.50 in 2015, suggesting reduced efficiency in the earlier part of the period. However, from 2015 onwards, there is a noticeable recovery in this ratio, increasing to 2.02 by 2019, signaling an improvement in how effectively assets are being used to produce revenue.
Summary of Observations
The data reveals strong sales growth alongside a substantial increase in total assets, particularly around 2013-2015, which significantly impacted asset turnover negatively during that period. The initial decline in asset turnover indicates that asset growth outpaced sales increases, reducing efficiency. The subsequent improvement in turnover suggests better asset management or enhanced sales generation relative to asset size in later years. This pattern may imply strategic investment phases followed by operational optimization.
