Net Earnings
Over the examined period, net earnings exhibited considerable fluctuations. Initially, earnings rose from 961 million USD in mid-2005 to a peak of 1180 million USD in mid-2010, though some minor decreases occurred, such as in 2009. After 2010, earnings generally maintained a moderate level around 1100 to 1150 million USD until 2014. A notable increase occurred starting 2015, peaking at 1674 million USD by mid-2019. However, a sharp decline is observed in 2020 to 215 million USD, likely reflecting extraordinary circumstances. Subsequently, the company recovered significantly with earnings rising to 1955 million USD by mid-2024, surpassing previous highs.
Total Assets
Total assets followed a steadily upward trend throughout the period, increasing from 8.268 billion USD in 2005 to 24.917 billion USD by mid-2024. Growth was generally consistent, with occasional accelerations such as between 2013 and 2015, where assets jumped significantly from approximately 13.168 billion USD to 17.989 billion USD, and during the latter years from 2020 to 2024. These increases suggest ongoing expansion and asset accumulation.
Return on Assets (ROA)
ROA demonstrated a declining trend from 11.63% in 2005 to a low of 0.95% in 2020, indicating a deterioration in asset profitability over the longer term. Minor recovery took place from 2011 through 2019, with ROA rising from 3.82% to over 9% in 2019 before the sharp 2020 drop. Post-2020, ROA improved steadily, reaching 7.85% by mid-2024. This fluctuation points to challenges impacting efficiency and profitability, but recovery in recent years shows positive operational adjustments.
Overall Insights
The data indicates a company experiencing growth in asset base steadily over two decades, while profitability has undergone significant volatility. The severe drop in net earnings and ROA around 2020 is noticeable and likely linked to external economic factors. Nevertheless, the strong recovery in earnings and improved asset returns in the last few years highlight resilience and potential for sustained profitability going forward.
