1 US$ in millions

Analysis of the annual financial performance reveals notable fluctuations in net income and return on equity (ROE), alongside a general trend in stockholders’ equity levels.

Net Income (Loss) Trends
Net income attributable to the corporation showed a generally positive trajectory from 2005 through 2014, peaking significantly in 2013 at 5,052 million US dollars. This was followed by a sharp decline beginning in 2015, with losses becoming more pronounced in 2015 and 2016 (-3,056 million and -6,132 million US dollars, respectively). Although the losses moderated after 2016, net income remained negative or low through 2019, with a modest recovery observed in 2021 and 2022, reaching 559 million and 2,096 million US dollars, respectively.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity increased steadily from 2005 (6,286 million US dollars) through a peak in 2013 (24,720 million US dollars), indicating growth in the company’s net assets over this period. However, from 2014 onward, equity levels trended downward, falling substantially to a low of 5,366 million US dollars in 2020. A slight recovery was seen thereafter, with equity rising to 7,855 million US dollars by the end of 2022, yet remaining well below peak levels.
Return on Equity (ROE)
ROE figures generally mirrored net income trends. The metric remained strong and stable between 2005 and 2014, fluctuating mainly between approximately 9% and 24%, and reaching its highest value in 2006 at 23.62%. The period following 2014 exhibited significant volatility and negative returns, with ROE plunging deeply into negative territory in 2015, 2016, and 2020, recording -15.76%, -42.19%, and -57.64%, respectively. Post-2020, ROE rebounded sharply to 26.68% by 2022, reflective of the recovery in net income relative to equity.
Overall Observations
The period from 2005 through 2014 was characterized by solid profitability and equity growth. However, starting in 2015, the corporation faced marked financial challenges demonstrated by pronounced net losses, declining equity, and severely negative returns on equity. The years following 2020 indicate a nascent recovery phase with improving profitability and stabilization of equity levels. These patterns suggest that the company experienced significant operational or market difficulties during the mid-2010s but began to restore financial health in recent years.
