1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals fluctuations in net income over the examined periods. Initially, net income increased significantly from 1,449 million USD in 2005 to a peak of 2,016 million USD in 2007, followed by a sharp decline to 98 million USD in 2009. Subsequently, the net income showed a recovery trend with notable growth, reaching 5,231 million USD in 2021, before slightly declining but remaining above 3,800 million USD through 2024.
Total assets demonstrated a consistent upward trend throughout the period. Starting from 20,404 million USD in 2005, there was steady growth year-over-year, with a marked acceleration post-2014, culminating in a peak of 87,143 million USD in 2023, before a slight decrease to 87,007 million USD in 2024.
Return on assets (ROA) showed considerable variability. It began at 7.1% in 2005, increased moderately to 8.4% by 2007, then experienced a considerable decline to 0.4% in 2009, coinciding with the lowest net income point. After this trough, ROA gradually improved, reaching 8.74% in 2018. Thereafter, it declined again, stabilizing around 4.5% to 5.0% in recent years.
- Net income
- Displayed volatility with initial growth, a sharp dip during 2008-2009, followed by recovery and reaching new highs in the early 2020s. The recent periods show stabilization with values above 3,800 million USD.
- Total assets
- Consistent and substantial growth over the entire time frame, nearly quadrupling from 2005 to the early 2020s, indicating significant asset expansion and possibly strategic investment or acquisitions.
- Return on assets (ROA)
- Exhibited significant fluctuations, impacted by net income volatility. The peak ROA values correspond to periods of higher profitability relative to asset base, while the low points align with downturns in net income, particularly around 2009.
Overall, the data indicates a company experiencing cycles of increased profitability and asset accumulation, with performance challenges particularly evident in the late 2000s. The recovery post-2009 is strong in both net income and asset growth, though profitability relative to assets (ROA) shows moderate stabilization rather than return to earlier peaks.
