1 US$ in millions


The analysis of the financial data over the period from 2005 to 2015 reveals several notable trends in key financial metrics.

Net income (loss) attributable to the corporation
The net income shows a generally positive growth trajectory with fluctuations throughout the years. Starting at 1,133 million USD in 2005, it increased to a peak of 2,889 million USD in 2013. After reaching this peak, a downward trend is observed, with net income declining to 1,990 million USD by 2015. This indicates that while profitability grew substantially over the initial years, the corporation faced challenges or changes in the later years that affected profitability.
Total assets
Total assets exhibit a consistent upward trend over the entire period. From 16,790 million USD in 2005, total assets increased steadily each year to reach 46,612 million USD in 2015. This represents significant growth in the asset base, indicating expansion or investment in the company's resources over the decade.
Return on Assets (ROA)
ROA figures show variability across the years, starting at 6.75% in 2005. ROA peaked at 7.47% in 2007, then experienced a decline to as low as 4.06% in 2009. Subsequent years demonstrated a recovery, with ROA rising back to around 7.18% in 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, the metric declined steadily to 4.27% in 2015. This pattern suggests fluctuations in the efficiency with which the company utilized its assets to generate profits, with some periods of improved performance followed by diminished returns relative to total assets.

Overall, the corporation expanded its asset base significantly, which may have supported increased net income for a portion of the period. However, the decrease in ROA and net income in later years suggests challenges in maintaining profitability and asset utilization efficiency despite the larger asset base.
