1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals notable fluctuations in key metrics over the period analyzed. Revenues exhibited a generally volatile pattern with significant peaks and troughs. After an initial increase from 63,311 million US dollars in 2005 to a peak of 77,193 million US dollars in 2008, revenues sharply declined to 53,470 million US dollars in 2009. Following this dip, there was another surge to 72,321 million US dollars in 2010, succeeded by a steep drop starting in 2011 with revenues falling drastically to levels below 16,000 million US dollars and continuing to decline through to 2016, reaching a low of 4,031 million US dollars. A gradual recovery is observable post-2016, culminating in revenues of 5,601 million US dollars by 2021, though still markedly lower than the peak years.
- Total assets
- Total assets showed an upward trend from 28,498 million US dollars in 2005 to a peak of 50,014 million US dollars in 2010. This increase indicates an accumulation of asset base during that timeframe. However, starting in 2011, total assets exhibited a consistent decline, falling below 20,000 million US dollars in 2021, reflecting a potential divestment or depreciation of asset holdings over the latter years.
- Total asset turnover ratio
- The total asset turnover ratio, which measures efficiency in using assets to generate revenue, showed a marked decline across the years. From a relatively strong 2.22 in 2005, the ratio decreased significantly to 1.14 in 2009. After 2010, efficiency ratios dropped drastically to below 0.5 and further declined to as low as 0.13 in 2016. A slight improvement is noted toward the end of the period, with the ratio rising to 0.33 in 2021; however, this remains substantially below historical highs, indicating reduced effectiveness in asset utilization.
Overall, the data reflects a period of growth in both revenues and asset base until 2010, followed by considerable contraction in both metrics. The asset turnover trend suggests a decreasing efficiency in generating sales from assets, particularly pronounced in the years following 2010. The revenue volatility combined with declining asset base and efficiency may point to strategic challenges or market conditions impacting the company's operations and asset management in the latter period.
