The Return on Assets (ROA) for the period between 2005 and 2025 demonstrates a generally positive, though fluctuating, trend. Initial years show consistent increases, followed by periods of decline and subsequent recovery. A significant peak is observed towards the end of the analyzed timeframe.

Overall Trend
From 2005 to 2015, the ROA generally increased, although not consistently. It rose from 6.58% in 2005 to a high of 11.09% in 2015. Following 2015, a substantial decrease to 4.30% occurred in 2017, before a strong recovery beginning in 2018. The ROA then continued to climb, reaching 13.19% in 2022 before slightly decreasing to 9.59% in 2023 and 8.38% in 2025.
Early Growth (2005-2007)
The period between 2005 and 2007 exhibits strong growth in ROA, increasing from 6.58% to 10.49%. This suggests improving profitability relative to asset utilization during these years.
Period of Stability and Slight Decline (2008-2011)
From 2008 to 2011, the ROA experienced a period of relative stability with a slight decline. While there was a peak of 9.62% in 2008, the ROA decreased to 7.00% by 2011. This could indicate a stabilization of profitability or a slower rate of asset utilization improvement.
Recovery and Peak (2012-2015)
The years 2012 through 2015 show a recovery and a peak in ROA. The ratio increased from 7.10% in 2012 to 11.09% in 2015, indicating improved efficiency in generating earnings from assets. This period coincides with an increase in net earnings and total assets.
Significant Decline and Subsequent Rebound (2016-2025)
A notable decline in ROA occurred in 2017, falling to 4.30%. However, a strong rebound followed, with the ROA increasing to 13.11% in 2019. The ratio remained relatively high through 2022 (13.19%) before experiencing a moderate decrease in the final two years of the period, ending at 8.38% in 2025. This suggests a potential shift in asset management or profitability dynamics, followed by a successful recovery and then a recent moderation.

The fluctuations in ROA appear to correlate with changes in net earnings and total assets. Periods of increasing ROA generally coincide with increases in both net earnings and asset efficiency, while declines may be attributed to lower earnings or less efficient asset utilization.
