Equity Trends
From the end of 2014 through 2018, total equity, measured in market value, experienced significant fluctuations. It began at a peak of 65,948 million USD in 2014, sharply declined to 28,218 million USD in 2015, indicating a substantial reduction. Subsequently, equity values showed a recovery trend by increasing to 34,818 million USD in 2016 and further to 42,882 million USD in 2017. However, this was followed by another decrease to 31,179 million USD in 2018.
Total Equity and Debt
The combined total of equity and debt also exhibited notable volatility but followed a somewhat similar trend to total equity alone. The figure started at 73,575 million USD in 2014, dropping to 34,997 million USD in 2015. It then increased to 43,778 million USD in 2016 and continued rising to reach 52,897 million USD in 2017. In 2018, there was another decline to 40,410 million USD.
Enterprise Value (EV) Movements
Enterprise value (EV) mirrored the overall trend seen in equity and total capital measures. Starting at 63,477 million USD in 2014, EV significantly decreased to 28,866 million USD in 2015. Gradually, EV rose in the following years to 36,629 million USD in 2016 and 47,034 million USD in 2017. Similar to other metrics, there was a drop in EV to 35,495 million USD in 2018.
Summary of Financial Position
Across the five-year period, the company experienced pronounced volatility in its capital structure. The most notable change occurred between 2014 and 2015, with approximately a 57% decline in equity and a corresponding large decrease in overall capital and enterprise value. The subsequent years showed a recovery trend reaching peaks around 2017, but the figures declined again in 2018. This pattern suggests periods of significant value revaluation and possible strategic or market-impacting events influencing the firm’s financial standing.
