- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The return on assets experienced a significant fluctuation over the observed periods. Starting with a negative value of -6.74% as of December 31, 2020, there was a notable recovery and improvement in 2021, increasing to 6.8%. The upward trend continued sharply in 2022, reaching a peak of 15.1%. However, in subsequent years, ROA showed a declining pattern, decreasing to 9.57% in 2023 and further to 7.43% in 2024. Despite the decline in the latter years, the ROA remained positive and above the levels seen at the start of the period.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage consistently decreased over the analyzed timeframe. Beginning at a ratio of 2.12 in 2020, the leverage ratio steadily declined each year, reaching 1.72 by the end of 2024. This downward pattern indicates a progressive reduction in the use of debt relative to equity, suggesting a more conservative capital structure or deleveraging strategy over time.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- The return on equity mirrored the trend observed in ROA but with more pronounced changes. ROE was negative at -14.28% in 2020 indicating a period of net losses or diminished shareholder value. Recovery was evident in 2021 with a sharp rise to 13.67%, further accelerating to a peak of 28.58% in 2022. Subsequent years showed a decrease to 17.58% in 2023 and a further decline to 12.77% in 2024. Although ROE decreased after 2022, it remained considerably positive, highlighting a generally favorable return for shareholders compared to the initial period.

- Asset Turnover
- The asset turnover ratio showed an upward trend from 0.54 in 2020 to a peak of 1.08 in 2022, suggesting improved efficiency in utilizing assets to generate revenue. However, this ratio declined in the following years to 0.89 in 2023 and further to 0.75 in 2024, indicating a reduction in asset utilization efficiency over the last two years.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage demonstrated a consistent decline over the period analyzed, decreasing from 2.12 in 2020 to 1.72 in 2024. This trend reflects a gradual reduction in the company's use of debt relative to equity, potentially indicating a more conservative capital structure or deleveraging efforts.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- Return on equity experienced a dramatic turnaround from negative -14.28% in 2020 to a strong positive return of 28.58% in 2022. After this peak, ROE declined to 17.58% in 2023 and further to 12.77% in 2024, although it remained notably above the initial negative level.

- The net profit margin demonstrated a substantial improvement from a negative figure of -12.57% in 2020 to positive values in subsequent years. It reached a peak of 13.98% in 2022, followed by a gradual decline to 10.76% in 2023 and further to 9.93% in 2024. This trend indicates an initial recovery and profitability growth after 2020, with a slight reduction in profit margin efficiency in the last two years.
- Asset Turnover
- Asset turnover exhibited an upward trend from 0.54 in 2020 to a high of 1.08 in 2022, signaling increased efficiency in using assets to generate sales. However, there was a subsequent decrease to 0.89 in 2023 and 0.75 in 2024. Despite this decline, the ratios in the later years remain higher than the 2020 baseline, suggesting that asset utilization improved overall compared to the starting point.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Return on assets improved significantly from -6.74% in 2020 to a peak of 15.1% in 2022, reflecting enhanced profitability relative to assets. Similar to net profit margin and asset turnover, the ROA diminished during the last two periods, registering 9.57% in 2023 and 7.43% in 2024. This pattern highlights a strong rebound followed by a declining yet positive return on asset efficiency in recent years.
