1 US$ in millions
- Net Income Attributable to Monsanto Company
- The net income demonstrates significant variability over the observed period. Starting at 255 million USD in 2005, there is a notable increase reaching a peak of 2,109 million USD in 2009. Following this peak, the net income generally exhibits fluctuations with a decline to 1,109 million USD in 2010, a recovery and growth to 2,740 million USD in 2014, and then a subsequent decline and partial recovery to 2,260 million USD by 2017. This pattern indicates periods of strong profitability interspersed with declines, suggesting volatility in earnings performance.
- Total Assets
- Total assets show a general upward trend from 10,579 million USD in 2005 to a high of 21,981 million USD in 2014. After that, a slight decrease occurs with assets dropping to 19,736 million USD in 2016, followed by a recovery to 21,333 million USD in 2017. The growth in assets over the years indicates ongoing investment and expansion activities, despite some periods of reduction which may be attributed to asset sales, restructuring, or impairments.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The ROA percentage improves from 2.41% in 2005 to a higher level of 11.80% in 2009, reflecting enhanced efficiency in asset utilization to generate profit during this phase of growth. Thereafter, ROA fluctuates with a decrease to 6.21% in 2010, followed by variable recovery, peaking at 12.47% in 2014. From 2014 onwards, ROA declines again before a partial rebound to 10.59% by 2017. These variations suggest changes in profitability relative to asset base, influenced by the fluctuating net income and total assets levels.
- Overall Observations
- The company experienced robust growth in net income and asset base particularly in the period leading up to 2009, with high ROA values indicating effective asset use. Post-2009, the performance shows cyclical fluctuations in both earnings and returns on assets, despite a steady asset base. This could imply external market pressures or internal operational challenges influencing profitability. The trend suggests the company has periods of strong performance interspersed with phases requiring strategic adjustments to maintain steady growth and asset efficiency.
