Net Sales
Net sales exhibited a generally upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from approximately 2.1 billion USD in 2005 to over 7.3 billion USD by 2022. Notable fluctuations occurred, including a decline between 2008 and 2009, followed by a recovery in subsequent years. The sharp surge in sales in 2015 and the substantial increase from 2021 to 2022 are particularly significant, indicating periods of accelerated growth.
Total Assets
Total assets increased significantly overall, rising from around 2.5 billion USD in 2005 to more than 15.4 billion USD by the end of 2022. Key expansions can be seen around 2014 and 2015, where assets nearly doubled within a one-year span. After 2015, total assets continued to grow, albeit at a more moderate pace, until another notable rise occurred in the final period considered.
Total Asset Turnover
The total asset turnover ratio displayed a declining trend over the majority of the period, falling from 0.83 in 2005 to its lowest levels around 0.3 during 2014 through 2021. This decline suggests a decreasing efficiency in utilizing assets to generate sales during these years. A moderate recovery to 0.47 occurred in 2022, which may indicate improved asset utilization or stronger sales growth relative to asset base expansion in the most recent period.
Summary
The data reflect a company experiencing substantial growth in both sales and asset base, with periods of volatility and adjustment. The contrasting trend of declining asset turnover implies a potential challenge in maintaining operational efficiency as the asset base expands. The recent improvement in asset turnover alongside significant sales growth in 2022 may suggest a positive shift toward enhanced asset productivity. Continuous monitoring of this ratio alongside sales and asset changes is advisable to assess ongoing operational effectiveness.
