Equity Trends
The company's common equity and total equity, both measured in US$ millions, followed identical trends over the five-year period. From 2017 to 2018, equity increased modestly from 12,899 to 13,653. However, a sharp decline occurred in 2019, dropping to 8,157, representing a significant reduction in shareholders' equity. Subsequently, a gradual recovery took place in 2020 with equity rising to 8,806, and this recovery was more pronounced in 2021, reaching its highest point in the period at 15,996.
Total Equity and Debt
The total equity and debt figures showed a similar pattern to equity alone but at higher absolute values, reflecting the inclusion of debt alongside equity. Starting at 18,393 in 2017, the amount increased slightly in 2018 to 19,152. This was followed by a marked fall in 2019 to 13,658. A recovery trend was seen again in 2020, reaching 14,210, and a more substantial increase in 2021 to 20,040, exceeding previous years' levels.
Enterprise Value (EV)
Enterprise value, also measured in US$ millions, showed a declining trend from 2017 (17,830) to a low in 2019 (12,800). This trend reversed in 2020, with EV increasing to 13,468 and then rising further in 2021 to 19,460, surpassing earlier period figures. The fluctuations in EV align closely with changes in both equity and debt levels, indicating adjustments in the company's market valuation and capital structure over the period.
Overall Analysis
The overall financial data reflect volatility during the period, with a noticeable dip in 2019 across all reported metrics, followed by a recovery through 2020 and a significant rebound in 2021. The simultaneous increases in equity, total capital, and enterprise value in 2021 suggest a strengthened financial position, possibly due to improved market conditions, asset values, or capital structure adjustments. The alignment between the trends in equity and enterprise value further indicates that market valuation movements were a key factor in the financial changes observed.
