The analysis of the data reveals significant dynamics in liquidity management over the periods observed.
- Current Assets
- There is a general upward trend in current assets from 2005 to 2020, with values increasing from approximately 2.41 billion USD to 8.68 billion USD. Notably, the growth is moderate and relatively steady until 2014, after which there is a substantial rise, peaking sharply in 2020.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities fluctuate over the years but remain within the range of roughly 1.82 billion USD to 3.64 billion USD until 2015. Post-2015, there is a decline followed by some minor volatility, with a final increase in 2020 to about 2.42 billion USD. Compared to the current assets, liabilities show less drastic growth.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibits variability around the 1.0 mark in earlier years, with values ranging from 0.8 to 1.36 between 2005 and 2012. A sharp decline to 0.8 in 2015 indicates a period of reduced liquidity coverage. Subsequently, the ratio improves markedly, rising to 3.59 in 2020, suggesting enhanced capacity to cover short-term obligations. This increase in the ratio corresponds with the noted surge in current assets.
In summary, the company’s liquidity position strengthened significantly during the latter part of the period, especially after 2015. The sharp increase in current assets combined with relatively stable or declining current liabilities in recent years has resulted in a marked improvement in the current ratio, indicating a stronger short-term financial position by 2020 compared to earlier years.
