The financial data reveals consistent improvement in the efficiency ratios over the observed period.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- This ratio shows a positive upward trend, increasing from 3.78 in 2020 to 5.02 in 2024. It indicates an increasing ability to generate sales from the net fixed assets, reflecting improved asset utilization or increased sales performance relative to fixed assets.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset
- Similarly, this adjusted ratio also demonstrates steady growth from 3.36 in 2020 to 4.5 in 2024. The growth suggests that incorporating leased assets into the asset base still points to enhanced efficiency in asset use over the years.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover exhibits gradual improvement from 0.35 in 2020 to 0.5 in 2024. This increase indicates better overall utilization of all assets to generate revenues, suggesting improved operational effectiveness or revenue growth relative to total asset investments.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover shows the most marked increase among the ratios, rising from 0.78 in 2020 to 1.34 in 2024. This trend reflects stronger sales generation per unit of equity, signaling enhanced efficiency in deploying shareholders’ equity to drive revenue growth.
Overall, the upward trends across these turnover ratios collectively point towards improving operational efficiency and stronger asset and equity utilization in generating sales over the five-year span. These patterns could be indicative of effective asset management, increased production capacity, sales growth, or a combination thereof.

The financial data exhibits several notable trends over the five-year period ending December 31, 2024.
- Net Sales
- Net sales demonstrate a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from US$56,587 million in 2020 to US$80,738 million in 2024. This represents a significant growth, with a particularly noticeable acceleration in the final year, suggesting enhanced revenue generation capabilities or successful market expansion efforts.
- Shareowners’ Equity
- Shareowners’ equity remains relatively stable from 2020 through 2022, with values hovering around US$72,000 million. However, there is a pronounced decline in 2023 to approximately US$59,798 million, followed by a marginal increase to US$60,156 million in 2024. This drop may indicate substantial payouts, asset write-downs, or other equity-impacting events during 2023.
- Equity Turnover
- The equity turnover ratio, which measures net sales relative to shareowners’ equity, shows a steady increase throughout the period. Starting at 0.78 in 2020, the ratio rises each year, reaching 1.34 in 2024. The increase in this ratio suggests improved efficiency in utilizing equity to generate sales, particularly notable in the 2023 to 2024 interval, which could be linked to the previously noted downturn in equity combined with continued sales growth.
Overall, the data indicate expanding sales performance combined with a temporary reduction in equity, resulting in enhanced turnover efficiency. This suggests shifts in capital structure or operational strategy that warrant further analysis to understand underlying causes and sustainability.
