Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).
The data reveals the inventory trends over a five-year period from the end of 2020 to the end of 2024. The components measured include raw materials, work-in-process, supplies, finished products, and total inventories, all expressed in millions of US dollars.
- Raw materials, work-in-process, and supplies
- There is a general upward trend from 2020 to 2023, with the value increasing from 4,676 million to 6,196 million, indicating a gradual build-up of these inventory components. However, in 2024, a noticeable decrease occurs, with the value falling to 5,394 million, which may suggest improved inventory management or reduced input purchasing.
- Finished products
- The quantity of finished products shows a consistent increase throughout the observed period. Starting at 6,132 million in 2020, it grows steadily each year, reaching 9,557 million by 2024. The most significant increments occur between 2021 and 2023, indicating possibly higher production output or accumulation of finished goods due to sales delays.
- Total inventories
- Total inventories reflect the combined effect of the previous two categories. Starting at 10,808 million in 2020, inventories climb steadily, peaking at 15,651 million in 2023. Despite a slight decline in 2024 to 14,951 million, the overall trend remains a marked increase over the five-year span.
The data indicates a general trend of growing inventory levels, driven mainly by higher amounts of finished products. The slight reduction in raw materials, work-in-process, and supplies in the final year contrasts with the sustained growth in finished products, suggesting a strategic shift or operational adjustment. The peak inventory level in 2023 followed by a marginal decline may also reflect responses to market conditions or efforts to optimize inventory holding costs.
