The analysis of the financial data over the period ending September 30 from 2005 to 2021 reveals several noteworthy trends in revenues, operating income, and net income.
- Revenues
- Revenues showed a general upward trend throughout the observed years, starting at approximately 5,415 million US dollars in 2005 and increasing to 20,248 million US dollars by 2021. This represents a near fourfold increase over the 17-year period. Notably, there were steady increases annually except for a slight decline observed in 2012 and 2017. The largest growth increments appear after 2013, with revenues nearly doubling from 8,446 million in 2014 to 15,983 million in 2018, and surpassing 20,000 million by 2021.
- Operating Income
- Operating income followed an overall positive trajectory, albeit with more volatility compared to revenues. It rose from 1,031 million US dollars in 2005, peaking inconsistently in some years. For instance, operating income increased steadily until 2008, reaching 1,552 million. Fluctuations were prominent from 2010 to 2017, with a significant drop noted in 2015 to 1,074 million, followed by recovery in subsequent years. From 2018 onwards, operating income regained momentum, culminating in a substantial increase to 2,799 million by 2021, indicating improved operational efficiency or increased profitability.
- Net Income
- Net income showed marked variability throughout the period. It started at 722 million US dollars in 2005 and generally increased with fluctuations. A notable surge occurred between 2006 and 2008, peaking at 1,127 million. However, there were considerable decreases and recoveries afterward, such as a decline to 311 million in 2018, which might reflect extraordinary items or challenges during that period. The recovery is evident as net income reached 2,092 million in 2021, surpassing previous highs and indicating strong profitability growth in the latest year.
In summary, all key financial metrics demonstrate long-term growth, with revenues and operating income showing steady improvement despite intermittent declines. Net income exhibits greater volatility but ends on a strong upward trend. The data suggest resilient business performance with some cyclical or external factors impacting profitability in specific years.

The analysis of the financial data over the presented periods reveals the following trends and insights:
- Current Assets
- The current assets exhibit a generally increasing trend from 2005 to 2021, starting at approximately $2,975 million and reaching $8,838 million by 2021. There was a notable spike in 2017, where current assets surged to $18,633 million, which is an outlier compared to other years. After this peak, current assets decreased to $7,411 million in 2018 and stabilized around the $8,000 to $9,000 million range in subsequent years. This spike may indicate unusual transactions or changes in working capital management during that period.
- Total Assets
- Total assets show consistent growth over the years. From $6,072 million in 2005, total assets increased steadily to $53,866 million by 2021. Similar to current assets, there is a significant jump from 2015 onward, with total assets nearly doubling from $12,447 million in 2014 to $26,820 million in 2015, followed by further increases peaking at $53,904 million in 2018 before slightly declining and stabilizing around $54,000 million in later years. This pattern suggests substantial acquisitions, asset revaluations, or major investments that significantly expanded the asset base of the company during this timeframe.
- Overall Observations
- The data indicates a strong expansion phase in total assets particularly from 2014 through 2018, mirrored to some extent by fluctuations in current assets. The spike in current assets in 2017 is particularly notable and deviates from the otherwise smoother progression seen in prior years. Given that both current and total assets grew significantly during the mid-2010s, it could signify strategic growth initiatives, mergers, or capital investments influencing the asset composition.
- After these substantial increases, the stabilization of total assets from 2019 onwards suggests a period of consolidation or more measured growth. The relatively stable current assets in the latter years imply that the company may have optimized its short-term asset management following the previous large fluctuations. Overall, the asset growth points to a major transformation in the company’s scale and operational capacity throughout the period.

- Current Liabilities
-
Current liabilities show an overall increasing trend from 2005 to 2021, rising from 1,299 million to 6,626 million US dollars. The growth is steady with notable acceleration starting in 2014, where the values jumped significantly from 2,235 million in 2014 to 7,216 million in 2018, before stabilizing somewhat but remaining elevated through 2021. This suggests increasing short-term obligations over the years, with a particularly sharp increase in the mid-2010s.
- Total Debt
-
Total debt also exhibits a marked upward trajectory over the period. Beginning at 1,267 million US dollars in 2005, debt levels experienced moderate fluctuations early on, including a dip in 2007 and 2008. Substantial growth occurred after 2010, with debt escalating from 3,970 million in 2013 to a peak of 21,495 million in 2018. This peak was followed by a slight reduction but debt remained elevated through 2021 at 17,610 million US dollars. The rapid increase in debt levels coincides with the sharp rise in current liabilities, indicating a potentially more leveraged financial structure.
- Shareholders’ Equity
-
Shareholders’ equity demonstrates a consistently positive growth trend over the examined period. Starting at 3,284 million US dollars in 2005, equity increased gradually until 2012, after which it shows more pronounced expansion, particularly from 2015 onward. Equity rose from 7,164 million in 2015 to 23,677 million by 2021. This substantial increase implies significant retained earnings, capital injections, or revaluation gains, supporting the company’s net asset base despite rising liabilities and debt.
- Summary Insight
-
Overall, the financial data reveals considerable growth in both liabilities and equity, with debt levels increasing more dramatically than current liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The sharp rise in total debt and current liabilities during the mid-2010s suggests increased financing activities, which may have been used to support expansion or capital investments. The concurrent growth in shareholders' equity, however, indicates that the company managed to enhance its net asset value significantly, which may have helped to maintain financial stability despite the increased leverage.

The analysis of the financial cash flow activities over the period from 2005 to 2021 reveals distinct trends and changes in operating, investing, and financing activities.
- Net cash provided by operating activities
- This cash flow shows a general upward trend from 2005 through 2021. Starting at $1,224 million in 2005, there is some fluctuation in the earlier years, with values around $1,000 to $1,700 million until 2014. A notable increase begins in 2015, where operating cash flow jumps significantly to $2,559 million and continues to grow annually, reaching $4,647 million by 2021. This steady increase indicates improving operational efficiency and stronger cash generation from core business activities over time.
- Net cash used for investing activities
- Investing cash flow is consistently negative throughout the period, reflecting ongoing investments in capital expenditure or acquisitions. The outflows fluctuate in magnitude, with smaller absolute values early on such as -$382 million in 2005 and larger outflows occurring irregularly, particularly in 2015 (-$8,318 million) and 2018 (-$15,829 million), which represent significant spikes in investing disbursements. After 2018, the investing outflows decrease in absolute value but remain sizable through 2021. These fluctuations suggest occasional large-scale investments or acquisitions impacting the cash used in investing activities.
- Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities
- Financing cash flow exhibits considerable volatility over the years. Initially, it is negative, with outflows ranging from -$525 million in 2005 to 2009, indicating repayments or dividends exceeding new financing. The period from 2010 to 2014 shows mixed activity, including a sharp positive spike in 2015 ($6,190 million) and an even larger inflow in 2017 ($10,977 million), likely linked to significant financing events such as debt issuance or equity raises. Post-2017, the financing cash flows fluctuate again, returning to negative or near zero, with -$3,306 million in 2021. This inconsistency suggests the company actively manages its capital structure with varying financing strategies depending on cash needs and market conditions.
Overall, the operating cash flows demonstrate robust and improving generation of cash, which is a positive indicator of business performance. Investing cash flows show an ongoing commitment to investment with sporadic large acquisitions or capital expenditures, while financing cash flows vary widely, indicating active capital management and potential adjustments in debt or equity financing corresponding to the company’s strategic initiatives and investment needs over time.

1, 2, 3 Data adjusted for splits and stock dividends.
The financial data exhibits several key trends over the analyzed period, specifically focusing on earnings per share (EPS) and dividends per share.
- Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS)
-
From 2005 to 2014, the basic EPS demonstrated a generally upward trajectory, increasing from $2.87 to a peak of $6.63 in 2013, followed by a slight decline in 2014 to $6.13. However, in 2015, the basic EPS experienced a significant drop to $3.43, indicating a notable outlier or adverse event impacting earnings. After 2015, the EPS gradually recovered, rising to $4.59 in 2016 and $4.7 in 2017, before sharply declining again in 2018 to $0.62. Following this dip, there was a strong rebound with EPS increasing to $4.01 in 2019, a moderate decrease to $2.75 in 2020, and reaching a new high of $6.92 in 2021.
- Diluted Earnings Per Share
-
The diluted EPS largely mirrored the trend seen with basic EPS across the years. It increased steadily from $2.77 in 2005 to a high of $6.49 in 2013, then fell to $5.99 in 2014. A sharp decline occurred in 2015, falling to $3.35, followed by a recovery phase analogous to basic EPS, with dilute EPS rising to $4.49 in 2016 and $4.6 in 2017. A pronounced decrease to $0.60 was evident in 2018, then followed by significant recovery up to $3.94 in 2019, a dip to $2.71 in 2020, and reaching $6.85 in 2021.
- Dividend Per Share
-
Dividends per share showed consistent growth throughout the entire timeframe. Starting from $0.72 in 2005, the dividends steadily increased each year without apparent interruptions or declines, reaching $3.32 in 2021. This indicates a steady commitment to returning value to shareholders regardless of the fluctuations seen in earnings.
In summary, the earnings per share figures reveal periods of volatility, with significant decreases in 2015 and 2018, followed by recovery phases. Conversely, dividend payments maintained continual growth, suggesting a stable dividend policy and possibly confidence in the company’s long-term profitability and cash flow capabilities despite short-term earnings fluctuations.
