The return on equity (ROE) for the period between 2005 and 2025 demonstrates considerable fluctuation. Initial years show a generally positive trend, followed by periods of volatility and eventual recovery.

Initial Growth (2005-2008)
From 2005 to 2008, ROE exhibited an increasing trend, rising from 18.06% to a peak of 29.46% in 2008. This suggests improving profitability relative to shareholder equity during this period. The increase in 2008 was particularly notable.
Volatility and Decline (2009-2016)
Following the peak in 2008, ROE experienced volatility. It decreased to 19.08% in 2009, then recovered to 27.81% in 2015, but subsequently declined to 18.33% in 2016. This period indicates inconsistent performance and potential challenges in maintaining profitability relative to equity.
Further Fluctuations and Low Point (2017-2020)
The period from 2017 to 2020 saw a continued downward trend, with ROE falling to 13.25% in 2019. A significant negative value of -4.88% was recorded in 2020, representing a substantial loss relative to shareholder equity. This is likely attributable to the negative net income recorded in that year.
Recovery and Recent Performance (2021-2025)
ROE began to recover in 2021, increasing to 7.16%. This positive trend continued, reaching 10.32% in 2025. While not reaching the levels observed in the earlier period of 2005-2008, the recent performance suggests a stabilization and improvement in profitability relative to equity. The ROE in 2025 represents the highest value observed since 2015.

The observed fluctuations in ROE correlate with changes in both net income and shareowners’ equity. The significant negative ROE in 2020 directly corresponds to the net loss reported for that year. Increases in shareowners’ equity, particularly between 2018 and 2020, appear to have diluted the impact of net income on ROE during those years.
