1 US$ in millions


The analysis of the financial data over the observed periods reveals several noteworthy trends in profitability, asset growth, and overall financial performance.

Net Income (Loss)
The net income shows significant fluctuations across the years. From an initial positive value of 7 million USD in early 2005, the figure increased markedly to 81 million USD by 2010. However, the period following 2010 was characterized by volatility, with negative results recorded from 2012 to 2015, reaching a low of -270 million USD in 2013. Recovery is evident starting in 2016, culminating in a substantial surge in net income, peaking at 4,136 million USD in 2024 and reaching 6,197 million USD by 2025. This indicates a strong rebound and improved profitability in recent years.
Total Assets
Total assets demonstrate a consistent and robust expansion throughout the period reviewed. Starting at 280 million USD in 2005, assets increased steadily each year, accelerating significantly after 2013. The growth trajectory peaks around 102,928 million USD in 2025. This considerable asset growth suggests either substantial investments, acquisitions, or organic growth of the company’s asset base, reflecting overall expansion in scale and operational capacity.
Return on Assets (ROA)
The return on assets follows a pattern in line with the net income variations, exhibiting high volatility. Initial ROA was moderate at 2.62% in 2005, rising to a peak of 6.55% in 2006, then declining sharply during the middle years, including negative figures from 2012 to 2015. Post-2015, the ROA returns to positive values, with a notable upward trend culminating at 6.02% by 2025. This improvement corresponds with the recovery in net income and reflects enhanced efficiency in asset utilization to generate profits.

Overall, the company’s financial trajectory indicates a period of initial growth, a phase of distress marked by losses and reduced returns, followed by a remarkable recovery and expansion phase in recent years. The strong asset growth coupled with rising net income and améliorer ROA suggests improved operational efficiency and profitability, potentially driven by strategic growth initiatives or market position strengthening.
