1 US$ in millions
- Net earnings (loss)
- Net earnings exhibited a general upward trend from 2005 to 2007, increasing from 984 million USD to 1,407 million USD. A decline occurred in 2008 and 2009, with net earnings falling to 1,003 million USD in 2009. Earnings fluctuated thereafter, including a significant loss in 2012 of -1,231 million USD and continued negative earnings in 2013 of -441 million USD. From 2014 onwards, the company returned to profitability, with net earnings progressively increasing and reaching a peak of 2,454 million USD in 2022. This indicates a recovery and strengthening in financial performance in the latter part of the period.
- Total assets
- Total assets grew steadily from 10,294 million USD in 2005 to a peak of 18,302 million USD in 2010. Post-2010, total assets showed some volatility and an overall decline until 2018, dropping to 13,049 million USD. Following 2018, assets increased again, rising sharply to 19,067 million USD in 2021 before retracting slightly to 17,504 million USD in 2022. This pattern suggests asset base expansion until 2010, contraction in the mid-2010s, and a rebound in the early 2020s.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA followed a similar pattern to net earnings, beginning at 9.56% in 2005 and peaking at 11.03% in 2008. It then sharply declined to negative values in 2012 (-7.69%) and 2013 (-2.63%), reflecting the negative earnings reported during those years. From 2014 onwards, ROA consistently improved, achieving a high of 14.02% in 2022. This improvement in ROA indicates enhanced efficiency in asset utilization to generate profits in recent years.
