1 US$ in millions
The analysis of the financial performance over the period from 2005 to 2021 reveals several significant trends in net income, total assets, and return on assets (ROA) for the company.
- Net Income
- Net income shows an overall upward trajectory with some fluctuations. Starting at $3,199 million in 2005, net income increased steadily to reach a peak around 2014-2016 at approximately $4,956 to $5,050 million. There was a slight dip in 2019 with net income decreasing to $4,570 million, but it subsequently rebounded strongly to $5,921 million by 2021, indicating resilient profitability towards the end of the observed period.
- Total Assets
- Total assets expanded consistently from $20,513 million in 2005 to a more than doubling figure of $47,072 million in 2021. Despite minor decreases in 2013 and some fluctuations around 2014 to 2018, the general trend shows significant asset growth, which may reflect investments, acquisitions, or organic expansion. The asset base notably increased beginning around 2016, suggesting a phase of accelerated growth.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The ROA percentage exhibits a mixed pattern, initially high at 15.59% in 2005 and peaking at 18.08% in 2006. There was a gradual decline to around 11.72% by 2009, followed by stabilization in the range of 12% to 15% through to 2016. Starting from 2017, ROA declined to its lowest point in the period at 10.23% in 2019, before marginally recovering to 12.58% in 2021. This decline in ROA despite rising net income and total assets indicates that asset growth outpaced profit gains, slightly reducing the efficiency in generating earnings from assets towards the latter years.
In summary, net income and total assets have shown positive growth trends over the examined period, with net income demonstrating resilience despite some volatility. However, the decrease in ROA suggests that asset utilization efficiency decreased, which could warrant further investigation into asset management and profitability drivers. The company’s financial profile indicates sustained growth with a need to optimize asset returns to enhance overall financial performance.
