The total asset turnover ratio for the period examined demonstrates considerable fluctuation. Initially, the ratio exhibited a moderate decline from 0.68 in 2012 to 0.64 in 2013, followed by a slight recovery to 0.72 in 2014. A significant decrease was then observed, falling to 0.43 in 2015 and continuing to 0.39 in 2016. The ratio experienced a modest increase to 0.40 in 2017 before declining again to 0.37 in 2019. A subsequent rise to 0.38 in 2020 was followed by a further increase to 0.42 in 2021 and remained at 0.40 in 2022. The most recent years show a slight upward trend, reaching 0.42 in 2023 and 0.46 in 2025.

Overall Trend
The overall trend indicates a generally lower asset turnover compared to the earlier years of the period. While fluctuations occur, the ratio generally remains below the initial levels observed in 2012 and 2013. The recent increase suggests a potential stabilization or improvement in asset utilization.
Significant Declines
The most substantial declines in the ratio occurred between 2014 and 2016, coinciding with a significant increase in total assets. This suggests that asset growth outpaced revenue growth during this period, leading to reduced efficiency in asset utilization. The decline from 2018 to 2019 also warrants attention, potentially indicating a temporary slowdown in revenue generation relative to the asset base.
Recent Performance
The ratio’s performance from 2021 to 2025 shows a slight improvement, moving from 0.38 to 0.46. This suggests that the company is becoming more efficient in generating revenue from its assets, although it has not yet returned to the levels seen in the early part of the analyzed period. The increase in 2025 is the highest observed in the last decade.
Relationship to Revenue and Assets
The fluctuations in the total asset turnover ratio appear closely linked to changes in both net revenues and total assets. Periods of substantial asset growth, particularly between 2015 and 2020, often correlate with lower turnover ratios. Conversely, periods where revenue growth outpaces asset growth, such as between 2020 and 2022, tend to result in higher ratios.
