Asset turnover ratios across geographic areas exhibit varied performance from 2021 to 2025. Significant differences exist between regions, and trends within each region demonstrate distinct patterns.

Indonesia
The asset turnover ratio for Indonesia demonstrates a consistent decline from 0.19 in 2021 to a low of 0.04 in 2023. A slight recovery to 0.05 in 2024 is followed by an increase to 0.09 in 2025, though the ratio remains substantially below the 2021 level. This suggests decreasing efficiency in asset utilization within this region, with a minimal improvement towards the end of the period.
U.S.
The U.S. region maintains a relatively stable asset turnover ratio throughout the analyzed period, fluctuating between 0.75 and 0.86. A gradual downward trend is observed from 2021 to 2024, decreasing from 0.86 to 0.75. However, the ratio experiences a slight increase to 0.79 in 2025. Overall, asset utilization in the U.S. remains consistently higher than in Indonesia and demonstrates moderate stability.
Chile
Chile exhibits a generally increasing trend in asset turnover from 0.31 in 2021 to 0.39 in 2023, indicating improved asset utilization. The ratio stabilizes at 0.40 in 2024 before decreasing slightly to 0.39 in 2025. This suggests a positive, though leveling off, trend in operational efficiency within the Chilean operations.
Other
The “Other” category displays the highest asset turnover ratios among the reported areas. The ratio increases from 1.72 in 2021 to 2.32 in 2024, indicating a significant improvement in asset utilization. A decrease to 1.96 in 2025 is observed, but the ratio remains considerably higher than those of Indonesia, the U.S., and Chile. This suggests a highly efficient use of assets within this combined geographic grouping.

In summary, asset turnover performance varies considerably by geographic area. While Indonesia shows a concerning decline, the U.S. demonstrates stability, Chile exhibits improvement, and the “Other” category maintains consistently high ratios. These differences warrant further investigation to understand the underlying operational and strategic factors driving these trends.

Analysis of the Indonesian area reveals a fluctuating performance in asset utilization between 2021 and 2025. Revenues and long-lived assets both experienced increases over the period, but the area asset turnover ratio demonstrates a complex relationship between these figures.

Revenues
Revenues for the Indonesian area decreased from US$3,132 million in 2021 to US$3,026 million in 2022. A significant decline followed, with revenues dropping to US$767 million in 2023. Revenues partially recovered in 2024, reaching US$1,108 million, and continued to increase substantially to US$2,180 million in 2025.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets consistently increased throughout the analyzed period. Starting at US$16,288 million in 2021, they rose to US$18,121 million in 2022, US$20,602 million in 2023, US$22,580 million in 2024, and ultimately reached US$24,059 million in 2025. This indicates a continuous investment in assets within the Indonesian area.
Area Asset Turnover
The area asset turnover ratio exhibited a declining trend initially. It decreased from 0.19 in 2021 to 0.17 in 2022. A substantial decrease was observed in 2023, falling to 0.04. A slight improvement occurred in 2024, with the ratio increasing to 0.05. The ratio then increased to 0.09 in 2025, though it remains significantly lower than the levels seen in 2021 and 2022. The increasing asset base coupled with the revenue fluctuations resulted in a lower ability to generate revenue from assets in 2023 and 2024, with some recovery in 2025.

The disparity between the increasing asset base and the fluctuating revenue stream suggests a potential inefficiency in asset utilization, particularly in 2023 and 2024. While revenue is recovering in 2025, the asset turnover ratio has not returned to its earlier levels, indicating that the increased asset investment has not yet translated into proportional revenue gains.

The financial performance related to U.S. operations demonstrates fluctuating revenue generation alongside increasing long-lived asset investment over the five-year period. This dynamic impacts the area asset turnover ratio, revealing evolving efficiency in asset utilization.

Revenues
Revenues from U.S. operations initially increased from $7,168 million in 2021 to $7,339 million in 2022. A slight decrease followed in 2023, with revenues reaching $7,264 million. Subsequently, a more substantial increase is observed, with revenues rising to $7,806 million in 2024 and further to $9,034 million in 2025. This indicates a positive revenue trend in the later years of the analyzed period.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets consistently increased throughout the period. Starting at $8,292 million in 2021, they rose to $8,801 million in 2022, $9,386 million in 2023, $10,468 million in 2024, and culminated at $11,388 million in 2025. This continuous investment in long-lived assets suggests expansion or upgrades within U.S. operations.
Area Asset Turnover
The area asset turnover ratio exhibited a declining trend from 2021 to 2023, decreasing from 0.86 to 0.77. This suggests a diminishing efficiency in generating revenue from the invested asset base. However, the ratio experienced a slight recovery in 2024 and 2025, increasing to 0.75 and 0.79 respectively. While the ratio did not return to its 2021 level, the stabilization and modest improvement suggest a potential reversal of the earlier declining trend. The increase in revenue in 2024 and 2025, coupled with continued asset investment, contributed to this stabilization.

In summary, while revenue generation has shown positive momentum in recent years, the asset turnover ratio indicates that the efficiency of asset utilization has been variable. The increasing asset base requires continued revenue growth to maintain or improve asset turnover efficiency.

Area asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Long-lived assets
= 14,230 ÷ 7,275 = 1.96


The financial performance of this geographic area demonstrates fluctuating revenue generation relative to its long-lived asset base over the five-year period. Revenues initially experienced a slight decrease before exhibiting substantial growth, while long-lived assets remained relatively stable. This dynamic is reflected in the area asset turnover ratio, which shows a clear trend of increasing efficiency followed by a moderate decline.

Revenues
Revenues decreased from US$12,202 million in 2021 to US$12,032 million in 2022, representing a minor contraction. A significant increase followed, with revenues reaching US$14,396 million in 2023 and peaking at US$16,090 million in 2024. A subsequent decrease to US$14,230 million was observed in 2025, though remaining above the 2021 level.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets exhibited relative stability throughout the period. A slight decrease was noted from US$7,088 million in 2021 to US$7,036 million in 2022.
