1 US$ in millions
The financial data over the observed periods reflects significant variations in key metrics such as net income, total assets, and return on assets (ROA).
- Net Income
- Net income demonstrated an overall upward trend with fluctuations. Starting at 722 million USD in 2005, the income increased steadily, peaking at 1,318 million USD in 2010. Subsequent years showed moderate variability, with a notable decline to 311 million USD in 2018. Following this low point, net income recovered sharply, reaching 2,092 million USD by 2021, the highest value recorded in the period.
- Total Assets
- Total assets consistently grew over the timeframe, starting at 6,072 million USD in 2005 and escalating to a value exceeding 53,000 million USD from 2013 onwards. A significant jump occurred between 2013 and 2014, where total assets more than doubled from approximately 12,447 million USD to 26,820 million USD. After this surge, the asset base remained relatively stable around the 50,000 million USD mark through 2021.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA showed a declining pattern. The ratio peaked at 14.24% in 2008 but steadily decreased in the ensuing years. Particularly after 2010, ROA dropped sharply, reaching its lowest point in 2018 at 0.58%. Despite minor recoveries in the final years, with an increase to 3.88% in 2021, the ratio remained considerably lower compared to the earlier period of the record.
In summary, while total assets expanded significantly, indicating growth in the asset base, this did not translate proportionally into net income or returns on assets in the latter years. The substantial increase in assets between 2013 and 2014 corresponds with lower profitability ratios, suggesting possible investments with delayed returns or increased capital intensity. The fluctuation in net income, especially the sharp decline in 2018 followed by a strong recovery, points toward operational or market challenges that were subsequently managed. The ROA declining trend highlights reduced efficiency in utilizing assets to generate profits over the period analyzed.
