1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals several key trends in profitability and asset management over the 15-year period ending in 2019. Net earnings generally exhibit a positive growth trajectory, increasing from 1,461 million US dollars in 2005 to 3,484 million US dollars in 2019. However, there is a notable exception in 2012 where earnings sharply declined to a loss of 332 million US dollars, interrupting the otherwise upward movement.
Total assets display a consistent increase throughout the timeframe, starting at 19,591 million US dollars in 2005 and reaching 48,841 million US dollars in 2019. This indicates ongoing asset accumulation and possibly expansion or investment activities by the entity during these years.
Return on Assets (ROA) shows some volatility but remains generally positive except for the significant downturn in 2012, where it falls to negative 0.97%. ROA fluctuates mostly between 6.65% and 9.27%, suggesting relatively stable efficiency in asset utilization to generate earnings, aside from the 2012 anomaly.
- Net earnings (loss)
- Demonstrates strong growth with intermittent fluctuations and a significant loss reported in 2012. Post-2012, earnings recover robustly and continue to increase.
- Total assets
- Consistently increase over the period, more than doubling, indicating growth and possible expansion.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Mostly remains stable and positive, reflecting efficient asset use, except for a sharp negative deviation in 2012 coinciding with net loss.
In summary, the data indicates long-term growth and strengthening of asset base with efficient operational performance, notwithstanding a singular year of significant financial distress in 2012. The recovery after this year is pronounced, illustrating resilience in financial results and asset utilization.
