The analysis of the annual financial data reveals several key trends in sales, total assets, and total asset turnover ratios over the period examined.

Sales (US$ in millions)
Sales demonstrated an overall upward trajectory from 2005 through 2021, increasing from 7,985 million to a peak of 29,453 million. Notable growth periods include the years 2010 to 2013, with sales rising from 13,203 million to 19,118 million, and another significant increase from 2018 to 2021, where sales climbed from 19,893 million to 29,453 million. However, intermittent declines are observed, for example in 2009 and again in 2019 and 2023, where sales decreased relative to the previous year. The most recent year shows a stabilization around 23,875 million, indicating a potential plateau or slower growth phase.
Total Assets (US$ in millions)
Total assets increased substantially over the period, growing from 9,163 million in 2005 to a high of 84,488 million in 2022. Asset growth was particularly strong between 2010 and 2015, where total assets escalated from 22,217 million to 48,222 million, and continued to expand steadily through 2022 before slightly declining in 2024. This expanding asset base reflects significant investment or acquisition activities over the years, contributing to the scale of operations.
Total Asset Turnover (ratio)
The total asset turnover ratio shows a downward trend from 0.87 in 2005 to lower levels around 0.28-0.31 in the later years. This decline indicates that although assets have increased markedly, the efficiency in generating sales from assets has decreased. The ratio fell sharply between 2005 and 2016, hitting a low point of 0.37 and 0.39 in 2016 and 2017, respectively, before stabilizing at slightly below 0.35 in recent years. This suggests that asset growth has outpaced sales growth, leading to lower asset utilization rates.

In summary, while sales and total assets have experienced considerable growth, the efficiency in using assets to generate sales has diminished. The company appears to have expanded its asset base more rapidly than its sales revenues, which may warrant further analysis on asset management and operational efficiency to ensure sustainable growth.
