The analysis of the financial data over the reported periods reveals several discernible trends in key performance metrics.

Net Sales
Net sales exhibit a consistent upward trajectory throughout the span. Beginning at approximately 5.7 billion USD, sales figures progressively increase to over 17.4 billion USD by the final period. This steady growth indicates successful revenue expansion initiatives and possibly an increasing market presence or enhanced product offerings over time.
Total Assets
Total assets also demonstrate a growing trend, albeit with some variability. The asset base rises from roughly 4.2 billion USD to nearly 16 billion USD. Notably, there is a significant jump in assets between the periods ending in 2019 and 2020, suggesting possible substantial investments, acquisitions, or capital expenditures during this timeframe. This growth in assets supports the ability to sustain higher sales volumes and business expansion.
Total Asset Turnover Ratio
The total asset turnover ratio, a measure of efficiency in utilizing assets to generate sales, reveals a gradual decline in efficiency over the initial years, decreasing from 1.35 to around 1.18–1.20 in later years before a sharp dip to 0.88 in 2020. Following this downturn, the ratio recovers modestly to approximately 1.09 by the end of the reported periods. The initial declining trend may suggest that asset growth outpaced sales growth, reducing operational efficiency. The abrupt drop around 2020 may be attributable to external factors impacting sales or asset utilization, with subsequent partial recovery indicating adaptation or improvements in asset management post-2020.
