1 US$ in millions

The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends over the period observed.

Net Revenues
There is an overall upward trajectory in net revenues from 2012 through 2024, with values rising from 18,380 million US dollars in 2012 to 56,334 million US dollars in 2024. The growth is especially pronounced starting from 2016, where revenues increase substantially year-over-year, peaking in 2021 at 56,197 million. A slight decline occurs in 2022 and 2023, followed by a moderate recovery in 2024.
Total Assets
Total assets display fluctuations with a general upward movement until 2017, reaching a peak of approximately 70,786 million US dollars. Subsequently, assets exhibit volatility with a significant jump to 150,565 million in 2020 followed by a decline in the next years, settling around 135,161 million in 2024. This suggests periods of asset growth likely driven by acquisitions or capital expenditures, followed by consolidation or asset sales.
Total Asset Turnover
The total asset turnover ratio, which indicates the efficiency of using assets to generate revenue, has experienced variability. Starting at 0.68 in 2012, the ratio falls to lows near 0.3 in 2019 and 2020, indicating decreased efficiency during those years despite the substantial asset base. There's a mild recovery thereafter, with ratios stabilizing around 0.4 to 0.42 in the most recent years. This suggests some improvement in asset utilization but not a return to earlier efficiency levels.

In summary, while revenues have shown strong growth, especially post-2016, asset levels have increased substantially with periods of volatility. The efficiency in utilizing these assets to generate revenue has declined over time but shows signs of modest recovery in recent years. This pattern may indicate strategic investments or expansions impacting asset base size and temporary inefficiencies that the company may be addressing.
