The analysis of Market Value Added (MVA) reveals a general contraction in shareholder value creation over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. While MVA remained positive throughout the period, indicating that the market value consistently exceeded the capital invested in the business, a downward trajectory is evident, culminating in a significant decrease in the most recent fiscal year.

Market Value Trends
The fair market value exhibited relative stability between 2019 and 2022, fluctuating between US$ 29.97 billion and US$ 31.70 billion. However, a sharp decline was observed in 2023, with the value dropping to US$ 25.75 billion, representing a decrease of approximately 16.8% compared to 2022.
Invested Capital Dynamics
Invested capital remained consistent from 2019 through 2022, with a slight peak of US$ 13.59 billion in 2021. A notable reduction occurred in 2023, where invested capital fell to US$ 11.68 billion. This decline suggests a contraction in the company's capital base or a strategic reallocation of assets during the final observed period.
Market Value Added (MVA) Interpretation
MVA peaked in 2019 at US$ 18.60 billion and concluded the period at US$ 14.08 billion in 2023, reflecting a total decrease of approximately 24.3%. The most significant erosion of MVA occurred between 2022 and 2023, where the value dropped by US$ 3.68 billion. Because the decline in market value outpaced the reduction in invested capital during 2023, the overall value added by the company from the perspective of the market has diminished.

The financial performance metrics between 2019 and 2023 indicate a general contraction in value creation and a downward trajectory in market valuation relative to invested capital. While the middle of the period showed signs of stability and modest recovery, the most recent fiscal year reflects a significant decline across all analyzed indicators.

Market Value Added (MVA)
A downward trend is observed in the MVA, which decreased from US$ 18,603 million in 2019 to US$ 14,078 million in 2023. Following a dip in 2020, the value remained relatively stable through 2022, hovering around the US$ 17,000 million to US$ 18,000 million range. However, 2023 marked a sharp decline, representing the lowest value in the five-year period.
Invested Capital
Invested capital showed minimal volatility from 2019 through 2022, peaking at US$ 13,587 million in 2021. A notable shift occurred in 2023, where invested capital dropped to US$ 11,675 million. This reduction suggests a contraction in the capital base during the final year of the analysis.
MVA Spread Ratio
The MVA spread ratio, which measures the market's valuation of the company relative to its invested capital, peaked at 141.99% in 2019. After a decrease in 2020, the ratio experienced a gradual recovery, reaching 134.63% by 2022. This positive momentum was reversed in 2023, as the ratio fell to 120.58%. Because the decline in MVA was more pronounced than the reduction in invested capital in 2023, the resulting compression of the spread ratio indicates a diminished market premium on the capital employed.

The financial performance from December 2019 through December 2023 indicates a general contraction in market value creation and a steady decline in the efficiency of value generation relative to sales.

Market Value Added (MVA) Trends
A downward trajectory in absolute market value is evident over the analyzed period. The MVA decreased from 18,603 million USD in 2019 to 16,778 million USD in 2020. While a period of relative stability followed, with values fluctuating between 17,756 million USD and 17,867 million USD from 2021 to 2022, a sharp decline occurred in 2023, with the value falling to 14,078 million USD.
Net Sales Performance
Net sales showed a consistent growth pattern from 2019 to 2022, rising from 13,578 million USD to a peak of 15,315 million USD. However, this growth trend was abruptly reversed in 2023, as sales dropped to 13,122 million USD, representing a level lower than that recorded at the start of the five-year period.
MVA Margin Analysis
The MVA margin reveals a persistent decline in value-creation efficiency. The margin started at 137.00% in 2019 and ended at 107.29% in 2023. Despite a minor recovery in 2021 to 125.99%, the overall trend is negative. This suggests that the market's valuation of the company's added value is not keeping pace with its operational scale, reflecting a diminishing premium relative to net sales.
