1 US$ in thousands
The financial performance over the reviewed periods reveals several noteworthy trends in net income, shareholders’ equity, and return on equity (ROE).
- Net Income
- Net income has shown an overall upward trajectory, increasing significantly from 940 million US dollars in the earliest period to approximately 7.7 billion US dollars in the latest period observed. Despite minor fluctuations and a few years with slight decreases, the general pattern indicates strong and sustained profitability growth, reflecting the company’s capacity to enhance earnings over time.
- Total Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity experienced consistent growth throughout the periods analyzed. Starting at around 1.7 billion US dollars, equity rose steadily, reaching nearly 31.2 billion US dollars by the end of the timeframe. This increasing equity base suggests successful retention of earnings and/or capital infusions, contributing to a strengthened financial foundation.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE, expressed as a percentage, displayed a declining trend despite improvements in net income and equity. Starting at an extremely high level above 55%, ROE peaked above 66% in certain years before gradually decreasing to approximately 24.6% in the most recent period. This decline signals that while profitability grew in absolute terms, the efficiency with which equity is being utilized to generate earnings has diminished over time. The dampening of ROE could be attributed to faster equity growth compared to net income or changing operational dynamics.
In summary, the data presents a financially robust picture characterized by increasing absolute profitability and equity value, contrasted by a declining efficiency indicator in terms of ROE. This suggests the firm is expanding its capital base substantially, but maintaining or improving returns on that equity remains a challenge.
