1 US$ in millions


Revenue Trends
Revenues exhibited a generally upward trend from 2008 to 2021, increasing from US$3,443 million to US$12,191 million. The growth experienced was steady until 2017, after which there was a marked increase in revenue, peaking significantly in 2018 at US$10,553 million. Following a slight dip in 2020 to US$10,671 million, revenues rebounded to reach the highest reported value of US$12,191 million in 2021. This pattern suggests periods of accelerated growth interspersed with minor contractions.
Total Assets Trends
Total assets grew considerably over the period analyzed, rising from US$10,484 million in 2008 to US$34,427 million in 2021. Asset growth was relatively modest and stable through 2017, with a substantial increase beginning in 2018. This sharp rise aligns with the revenue increase noted for the same period, indicating potential asset accumulation supporting expanded operations or acquisitions during these years. After 2018, asset levels stabilized somewhat but remained high through 2021.
Total Asset Turnover Trends
The total asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency in using assets to generate sales, fluctuated between 0.30 and 0.41 across the years. Initially, the ratio improved gradually from 0.33 in 2008 to 0.41 in 2016, illustrating increasing efficiency. However, from 2017 onward, the ratio declined to a low of 0.30 in 2017 and then modestly recovered to 0.35 by 2021. This decline, despite rising revenues and assets, could signal diminishing returns on asset investments or a lag in translating asset growth into proportional revenue increases.
Summary Insights
The company experienced strong revenue and asset growth over the long term, particularly from 2017 onwards. The divergence between rising total assets and a fluctuating asset turnover ratio suggests that while asset base expansion supported revenue increases, operational efficiency in asset usage faced some challenges in recent years. This could reflect strategic investments or acquisitions that have yet to fully enhance revenue-generating capacity.
