The financial data reveals notable changes in profitability and equity over the analyzed period. Net income attributable to the company exhibited a pronounced upward trend from 2005 through 2014, increasing from $287 million to a peak of $2,502 million. This growth was marked by consistent year-over-year gains, except a slight decline in 2009 and 2015. The sharp decrease in 2015, resulting in a net loss of $769 million, represents a significant deviation from the preceding positive performance.
Total company stockholders’ equity similarly demonstrated substantial growth throughout the period. Beginning at $4,194 million in 2005, equity rose steadily, reaching a maximum of $22,230 million in 2013. Following this peak, equity declined in subsequent years, ending at $16,383 million in 2015. This reduction in equity after 2013 may indicate potential challenges or strategic shifts impacting the company’s financial structure.
The return on equity (ROE) metric reflected these underlying changes in profitability and equity management. ROE improved markedly between 2005 and 2007, peaking at just over 20% in 2007. It then moderated in the following years, fluctuating between approximately 10% and 15%, before experiencing a negative turnaround in 2015, where it registered -4.69%. The decline to negative ROE suggests that the company faced diminished profitability relative to shareholders’ equity in that year.
In summary, the data indicates a phase of robust growth in net income and equity through 2013, with a subsequent contraction in both measures culminating in a loss and negative returns for shareholders in 2015. This shift between 2014 and 2015 warrants further examination to understand the causes and implications.
