1 US$ in millions


The financial performance from 2005 to 2019 is characterized by a significant expansion in profitability and a corresponding upward trajectory in the return on equity (ROE). Over this fifteen-year period, net income grew from 871 million USD to 3,343 million USD, while ROE increased from 8.13% to 27.35%.

Net Income Trends
A consistent long-term growth pattern is observed in net income attributable to the company. Following a sharp increase between 2005 and 2007, income levels remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1.6 billion USD and 2.3 billion USD for much of the subsequent decade. A notable acceleration in earnings occurred between 2017 and 2019, where net income rose from 2,024 million USD to 3,343 million USD.
Stockholders' Equity Fluctuations
Total stockholders' equity exhibited more volatility than net income. Equity levels decreased from a 2007 peak of 12,542 million USD to a low of 8,026 million USD by 2012. This contraction in the equity base contributed to the elevation of the ROE during the 2011-2012 period. From 2013 onward, equity began a gradual recovery, reaching 12,223 million USD by 2019.
Return on Equity (ROE) Dynamics
The ROE experienced three distinct phases. The first phase was a period of rapid escalation from 2005 (8.13%) to 2007 (20.55%). The second phase was a period of relative stabilization between 2008 and 2017, with the ratio generally oscillating between 18% and 23%. The final phase was a period of marked improvement from 2018 to 2019, culminating in a peak ROE of 27.35%.

The overall increase in ROE is attributed to the combined effect of substantial net income growth and a managed equity base. The terminal growth in ROE during 2018 and 2019 indicates a high efficiency in generating profits relative to shareholders' investments, as the growth in net income significantly outpaced the growth in total equity during those final two years.
