1 US$ in millions
An examination of the financial metrics over the period from 2005 to 2025 reveals several notable trends and patterns.
- Net Earnings (US$ in millions)
- Net earnings displayed a fluctuating yet generally upward trajectory over the examined period. Starting at 5,001 million in 2005, earnings rose steadily until 2007, followed by a sharp decline during 2008 and 2009, reaching a low of 2,260 million in 2009, likely reflecting broader economic challenges. From 2010 onwards, net earnings resumed growth, reaching a peak of 17,105 million in 2023 before experiencing a mild decline in the final two years, ending at 14,806 million in 2025. This pattern exhibits resilience and recovery post-economic downturn.
- Total Assets (US$ in millions)
- Total assets showed a general increase throughout the period with some volatility. Assets grew from 38,907 million in 2005 to 52,236 million by 2020, indicating expansion in the asset base. A significant acceleration in asset growth is observed starting in 2020, with assets increasing sharply to 96,119 million by 2025. This acceleration may suggest substantial investments or acquisitions during the latter years, contributing to the asset base almost doubling over the last five years.
- Return on Assets (ROA %)
- Return on Assets follows an interesting cyclical pattern with strong improvement over time. Initially, ROA was relatively high at around 12.85% in 2005, declined to its lowest point at 5.49% in 2009 coinciding with the net earnings dip, and then recovered robustly in subsequent years. The ROA peaked at 25.27% in 2019 and, although it decreased somewhat thereafter, it remained at a relatively healthy level of 15.4% by 2025. This pattern indicates enhanced efficiency and profitability in asset utilization over the long term, despite cyclical setbacks.
Overall, the data exhibits a business that endured significant economic challenges around 2008-2009, with corresponding decreases in profitability and earnings. Despite this, it demonstrated a strong recovery and growth phase in both earnings and asset accumulation. Return on assets improved markedly, reflecting strengthened operational efficiency. The sharp asset growth in the last five years signals strategic expansion, which may impact future earnings and profitability metrics. Monitoring the recent slight decrease in net earnings and ROA towards the end of the period will be important to assess ongoing performance sustainability.
