United States Profit Margin
The profit margin in the United States segment experienced a notable recovery from a negative margin of -4.55% in 2020 to a positive 11.17% in 2021. This upward trend continued with a slight increase to 12.63% in 2022, indicative of improved profitability. However, in the subsequent years, the margin exhibited a declining trend, falling to 6.51% in 2023 and remaining nearly stable at 6.52% in 2024. The initial sharp improvement followed by a gradual decline suggests possible changes in market conditions or operational challenges impacting profitability in the latter years.
International Profit Margin
The international segment showed a similar recovery trend starting from a marginal negative profit margin of -0.31% in 2020. This improved substantially to 9.11% in 2021 and further increased to 14.19% in 2022, marking the highest profit margin within the observed period. Although a decline followed, with margins decreasing to 12.74% in 2023 and then to 10.09% in 2024, profitability remained significantly positive and relatively strong compared to the United States segment in the last two years. This indicates sustained international operational efficiency or favorable market factors despite the tapering margins.
Comparative Insights
Both geographic areas underwent a transition from negative or near zero profit margins in 2020 to positive margins thereafter, reflecting overall improved financial performance. The international segment consistently outperformed the United States segment from 2022 onward, maintaining higher margin levels despite a downward adjustment after peak performance in that year. The United States margin's more pronounced decline in recent years warrants attention to potential domestic market or operational issues, while the international segment’s higher and more stable margins imply relatively better profitability or growth prospects abroad.

The segment earnings demonstrated notable volatility over the analyzed periods. Initially, there was a significant loss of 2,179 million US dollars in 2020, followed by a substantial recovery in 2021 to earnings of 9,708 million US dollars. The positive momentum continued into 2022 with segment earnings peaking at 18,015 million US dollars. However, earnings experienced a decline in the subsequent years, dropping to 8,052 million US dollars in 2023 and remaining relatively flat at 8,133 million US dollars in 2024.

Assets

Total assets held a generally increasing trend through the periods under review. Starting at 69,938 million US dollars in 2020, assets grew steadily to 73,992 million in 2021 and further increased to 93,783 million in 2022. A slight decrease occurred in 2023 to 91,816 million US dollars, followed by a rebound to 95,167 million in 2024. This trend reflects sustained investment or asset accumulation despite fluctuations in earnings.

Area Return on Assets (ROA)

Return on assets showed significant fluctuations, indicating variable profitability relative to asset bases over the years. The ROA stood at a negative 3.12% in 2020, coinciding with the segment's loss in that year. A marked improvement was observed in 2021, with ROA rising to 13.12%, and peaking at 19.21% in 2022, which aligns with peak earnings observed in the same period. The ROA decline in 2023 to 8.77% and a slight further decrease to 8.55% in 2024 suggest reduced efficiency in asset utilization or lower profitability despite asset growth.

The annual geographic area asset turnover data reveals distinct trends for the United States and International segments over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024.

United States
The asset turnover ratio for the United States exhibited a significant increase from 0.69 in 2020 to a peak of 1.52 in 2022. This upward trajectory suggests improved efficiency in utilizing assets to generate revenue during this period. However, after 2022, the ratio declined slightly to 1.35 in 2023 and further to 1.31 in 2024, indicating a mild decrease in asset turnover efficiency in the most recent two years. Despite this, the levels remain substantially higher than those recorded in 2020, implying overall growth in asset utilization efficiency in the United States segment over the five years.
International
The international asset turnover ratio consistently increased from 0.40 in 2020 to 0.90 in 2022, reflecting improving asset use internationally. However, unlike the United States, the ratio experienced a noticeable decline in 2023 to 0.80, before slightly rebounding to 0.83 in 2024. The fluctuations indicate some variability in asset efficiency outside the United States, though the ratio at the end of the period remains more than double the initial 2020 value, indicating net progress across the five years.
Comparative Observations
Throughout the period analyzed, the United States consistently maintained a higher asset turnover ratio compared to the International segment, suggesting relatively greater asset efficiency domestically. Both geographic areas peaked in 2022, followed by some level of decline or stabilization in the subsequent years. The patterns suggest potential operational or market factors influencing asset utilization post-2022, with both areas reflecting moderated growth or a minor contraction in asset turnover.

Segment Sales and Other Operating Revenues
The segment sales and other operating revenues experienced a significant increase from 2020 to 2022, rising from 47,910 million US dollars in 2020 to 142,646 million US dollars in 2022. This indicates a period of strong revenue growth. However, in the following years, there was a decline in 2023 to 123,682 million US dollars, followed by a slight recovery in 2024 to 124,719 million US dollars. Despite this partial recovery, the revenue in 2024 remains below the peak achieved in 2022.
Assets
Total assets showed a steady increase over the five-year period. Starting at 69,938 million US dollars in 2020, assets gradually rose each year, reaching 93,783 million US dollars by 2022. Although there was a minor decrease to 91,816 million US dollars in 2023, assets increased again in 2024 to 95,167 million US dollars, exceeding the 2022 peak. This trend reflects continued investment or asset accumulation with minor fluctuations.
Area Asset Turnover
The area asset turnover ratio demonstrated a marked improvement from 0.69 in 2020 to a peak of 1.52 in 2022, indicating enhanced efficiency in utilizing assets to generate sales during this period. After this peak, the ratio declined to 1.35 in 2023 and further to 1.31 in 2024.

Area asset turnover = Segment sales and other operating revenues ÷ Assets
= ÷ =


The analysis of the annual data for the International geographic area reveals several notable trends in financial performance and asset utilization.

Segment Sales and Other Operating Revenues
There is a significant upward trend in revenues from 2020 to 2022, with sales increasing from approximately 65.8 billion US dollars in 2020 to a peak of about 143.9 billion US dollars in 2022. However, this growth is followed by a decline in the subsequent years, with revenues decreasing to roughly 121.9 billion US dollars in 2023 and remaining relatively stable in 2024 at approximately 120.9 billion US dollars. This pattern indicates an initial period of strong revenue growth, potentially driven by market conditions or operational expansion, followed by a contraction or stabilization in revenue generation.
Assets
The asset base shows a gradual decline over the five-year period. Starting at about 165.5 billion US dollars in 2020, assets steadily decrease each year, reaching around 145.5 billion US dollars by 2024. This trend suggests a possible divestiture of assets, asset impairment, or shifts in investment strategy affecting the International segment.
Area Asset Turnover Ratio
The asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency of asset use in generating sales, exhibits a positive trajectory from 0.4 in 2020 to a peak of 0.9 in 2022, indicating improving efficiency and better utilization of assets in generating revenues during that period. In 2023, the ratio decreases to 0.8 but slightly increases again to 0.83 in 2024. Despite the slight reduction after 2022, the overall trend points to enhanced asset productivity compared to the starting point in 2020.

In summary, the International segment experienced robust revenue growth and improved asset utilization efficiency through 2022, accompanied by a gradual reduction in asset levels. The subsequent years show a stabilization in revenues and a moderately sustained level of asset turnover efficiency, alongside continued asset base contraction. These patterns suggest adjustments in operational scale or market conditions influencing the financial dynamics of this geographic area.

United States Sales and Revenues
From 2020 to 2022, sales and other operating revenues in the United States exhibited a strong upward trend, increasing from approximately 47.9 billion US dollars in 2020 to about 142.6 billion US dollars in 2022. This represents nearly a threefold increase over the two-year period. However, in 2023, there was a noticeable decline to around 123.7 billion US dollars, followed by a slight recovery to approximately 124.7 billion US dollars in 2024. Despite the reduction after 2022, the values in 2023 and 2024 remain significantly higher than the figures recorded in 2020 and 2021.
International Sales and Revenues
International revenues also showed a marked increase from 65.8 billion US dollars in 2020 to a peak of approximately 143.9 billion US dollars in 2022. Similar to the domestic trend, there was a downturn in 2023, with values falling to about 121.9 billion US dollars, and a slight further decrease to approximately 120.9 billion US dollars in 2024. This indicates a peak reached in 2022, with a subsequent gradual decline over the following two years.
Total Sales and Revenues
The combined total sales and other operating revenues mirrored the patterns observed in both domestic and international segments. There was a consistent growth trajectory from 113.7 billion US dollars in 2020 to a peak of around 286.5 billion US dollars in 2022. This was followed by a decline in 2023 to roughly 245.5 billion US dollars, stabilizing near the same level in 2024 with a marginal increase to about 245.6 billion US dollars. The total revenues in the last two years remained notably above those of the earlier years.
Insights and Patterns
Overall, the data shows a substantial increase in sales and operating revenues for both domestic and international markets over the first three years, culminating in peak values in 2022. Following this peak, there is a clear downward correction in 2023, with a near stabilization or slight recovery in 2024. Both segments contribute roughly equally to the total revenues, as the proportions remain fairly balanced throughout the period. The trends indicate potential external factors influencing a revenue peak in 2022 and a subsequent adjustment phase, though the later years still maintain higher revenue levels than the starting point in 2020.

The international assets showed a declining trend over the analyzed period. Starting at 165,450 million US dollars in 2020, the value decreased gradually each year, ending at 145,508 million in 2024. This steady decline indicates a strategic reduction or divestment of assets outside the United States. The decrease was relatively consistent, reflecting a possible reallocation of resources or changes in international operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill remained relatively stable throughout the years, starting at 4,402 million US dollars in 2020 and showing only minor variations. It slightly decreased to 4,385 million in 2021, increased to 4,722 million in 2022 and 2023, then declined modestly to 4,578 million in 2024. These small fluctuations suggest minimal impairment or acquisition impacts affecting goodwill during this period.
Total Assets
Total assets experienced fluctuations but maintained an overall positive trend until 2022, increasing from 239,790 million US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 257,709 million in 2022. Subsequently, total assets declined to 249,293 million in 2023 and further to 245,253 million in 2024. This decline aligns with the reduction in international assets, indicating that the decrease in non-U.S. holdings significantly influenced the overall asset base despite growth in the U.S. assets.
