1 US$ in millions


Net Revenues
Net revenues demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory from 2005 through 2014, increasing from 4,552 million US dollars to 17,902 million US dollars. This trend indicates sustained growth over this period. However, a marked decline is observed in 2015, with revenues dropping to 8,592 million US dollars, followed by a stabilization and modest increases in subsequent years, reaching 10,746 million US dollars by 2018. The steep revenue decline in 2015 warrants particular attention as it represents a significant deviation from the previous growth pattern.
Total Assets
Total assets exhibited a generally rising trend from 2005 through 2014, growing from 11,789 million US dollars to 45,132 million US dollars. This growth suggests expansion in asset base and potential investment in resources. Similar to net revenues, total assets saw a dramatic decrease in 2015, falling to 17,785 million US dollars. The years following 2015 show some recovery with assets increasing to 25,981 million US dollars by 2017 but then declining again to 22,819 million US dollars in 2018. The pronounced decrease in 2015, followed by fluctuations thereafter, could indicate asset divestitures, restructuring, or other strategic adjustments during this timeframe.
Total Asset Turnover
The total asset turnover ratio demonstrated variability over the period analyzed. Initially, there was an improvement from 0.39 in 2005, peaking at 0.55 in 2008, reflecting more efficient use of assets to generate revenues. After 2008, the ratio generally declined and stabilized around the 0.38–0.4 range until 2014. A notable increase to 0.48 occurred in 2015, coinciding with the asset and revenue declines, suggesting improved efficiency in asset utilization despite the overall lower asset base and revenue level. Following 2015, the ratio decreased slightly and again improved to 0.47 by 2018. These fluctuations imply changing operational efficiency and potential shifts in business model or asset management strategies.
Overall Observations
Across the examined period, the company showed sustained growth in both revenues and assets until 2014, followed by significant contractions in 2015. The simultaneous sharp reductions in both net revenues and total assets during 2015 point to a substantial corporate event or transition. Post-2015 data depicts recovery tendencies with fluctuating asset levels and modest revenue growth, while total asset turnover ratios suggest ongoing adjustments in asset utilization efficiency. Continued monitoring of revenue-generation capability relative to asset base is warranted to assess long-term performance sustainability.
