The return on equity (ROE) exhibited substantial volatility between 2005 and 2025. A period of significant challenges followed by recovery and subsequent fluctuations characterized the company’s performance over this timeframe. Initial profitability was followed by considerable losses, a strong rebound, and then a return to inconsistent results.

Initial Period (2005-2008)
In 2005, the ROE stood at 15.62%. This was followed by a substantial loss in 2006, resulting in a missing ROE value, and a significant negative ROE of -48.38% in 2007. The negative trend continued into 2008, with ROE remaining unavailable, indicating substantial losses impacting equity.
Recovery and Growth (2009-2011)
A turnaround began in 2009, with a return to positive net income and a positive ROE, although the value is not available. The ROE experienced a dramatic increase in 2011, reaching 134.50%, coinciding with a substantial increase in net income and equity. This suggests a significant improvement in profitability relative to equity.
Moderation and Fluctuations (2012-2019)
The ROE moderated in subsequent years, decreasing to 35.52% in 2012, 27.12% in 2013, and 12.85% in 2014. It then increased again to 25.74% in 2015 and 15.76% in 2016, before rising to 21.79% in 2017. A decline followed in 2018 to 10.23%, and a minimal 0.14% in 2019, indicating a weakening of profitability relative to equity.
Recent Volatility (2020-2025)
The period from 2020 to 2025 was marked by significant fluctuations. A negative ROE of -4.17% was recorded in 2020, followed by a substantial positive ROE of 36.97% in 2021. This was followed by a negative ROE of -4.58% in 2022, a positive ROE of 10.16% in 2023, and a significant negative ROE of -22.76% in 2025. This recent volatility suggests increased sensitivity to external factors or internal operational changes.

Overall, the ROE demonstrates a pattern of cyclical performance, with periods of strong growth followed by declines and recoveries. The substantial fluctuations observed, particularly in the later years, suggest a degree of instability in the company’s profitability relative to its equity base.
