Net Fixed Asset Turnover
The net fixed asset turnover ratio shows a declining trend after peaking in the second half of 2020, where it reached values above 5.8. Starting from around 5.45 in the end of 2020, it gradually decreased to approximately 4.5 by late 2024 and early 2025. This trend indicates a reduction in revenues generated per unit of net fixed assets over the analyzed periods, suggesting either an increase in fixed asset base not matched by proportional revenue growth or a decrease in operational efficiency relating to fixed assets utilization.
Total Asset Turnover
Total asset turnover improved from about 0.47 in early 2021 to a peak of 0.57 in the latter part of 2021, reflecting better utilization of total assets in generating revenue during that period. However, from early 2022 onwards, this ratio steadily declined to near 0.42–0.44 levels by mid-2025. The gradual decrease post-peak indicates a diminishing ability to generate revenue from total assets, which may reflect asset growth outpacing revenue growth or less efficient asset use.
Equity Turnover
Equity turnover experienced moderate fluctuations over the observed period. Starting near 0.93 in early 2021, the ratio increased to slightly above 1.04 by late 2021 and remained close to this level into early 2023, indicating consistent revenue generation relative to shareholder equity during that time. Subsequently, the ratio showed a gentle downward trend, declining below 0.9 by late 2024 and into 2025. This suggests a slight weakening in the efficiency of equity use for revenue production over time.

Revenues
The revenue figures exhibit notable fluctuations over the periods analyzed. Initially, revenues rose sharply from 6,230 million US$ in March 2020 to a peak of 10,550 million US$ by December 2020. This growth was followed by a decline and oscillation around the 10,000 million US$ mark in subsequent quarters throughout 2021 and 2022. The pattern indicates volatility with intermittent recoveries, including a peak in April 2022 at 11,818 million US$, and a subsequent relative stabilization near 10,700 to 11,000 million US$ until the end of 2023. More recently, revenues displayed minor volatility, declining to 10,345 million US$ in March 2024 before rebounding towards 10,855 million US$ by June 2025. Overall, revenues show a cyclical trend with no clear sustained upward trajectory past the end of 2020 peak.
Property, plant and equipment, net
The net value of property, plant, and equipment consistently increased from 4,736 million US$ at the start of the period in March 2020 to 9,635 million US$ by June 2025. This steady growth indicates ongoing investment in fixed assets over the examined quarters. Although certain quarters show slight plateaus or marginal declines (e.g., the slight decrease from 9,354 million US$ in April 2023 to 9,167 million US$ in September 2023), the overall direction remains upward, almost doubling the asset base over the span. This suggests a strategic focus on expanding or maintaining significant capital infrastructure.
Net fixed asset turnover ratio
The net fixed asset turnover ratio was not available for the initial quarters but was recorded from December 2020 onwards. It started at 5.45 and climbed to a peak of 5.85 in April 2021, indicating an initially efficient use of fixed assets to generate revenue. However, this ratio displayed a gradual declining trend over the subsequent quarters, falling below 5.0 towards the end of 2021 and continuing to decrease through 2022 and 2023. By June 2025, the ratio settled around 4.48. The downward trend suggests that asset utilization efficiency in generating revenue diminished over time, potentially due to increased asset base outpacing revenue growth.

The financial data reveals various trends related to revenues, total assets, and asset turnover ratios over multiple quarterly periods. These trends provide insight into operational performance, asset management, and growth dynamics.

Revenues
Revenues demonstrate a generally fluctuating pattern across the reported quarters. The initial period begins with US$ 6,230 million, with a notable increase peaking at US$ 11,818 million in April 2022. Subsequent quarters show a decline and moderate recovery, with revenues oscillating mostly between approximately US$ 10,300 million and US$ 11,400 million through to the latter periods. Overall, the revenues exhibit growth from the start through 2022 before stabilizing with some variability in subsequent quarters.
Total Assets
Total assets exhibit a progressive increase from US$ 58,688 million at the first date to a high of US$ 101,230 million near the end of the period, indicating expansion in the asset base. Despite minor periodic declines, the general trajectory is upward, suggesting increased investment or acquisition of assets over time. The rise in total assets is more pronounced from late 2020 through 2022, then assets remain relatively stable with a slight upward bias into 2024 and 2025.
Total Asset Turnover Ratio
The total asset turnover ratio, available from late 2020 onward, shows a general declining trend with some fluctuations. It starts around 0.47 and briefly peaks at 0.57 before gradually decreasing to approximately 0.42-0.43 toward the latter quarters. This trend indicates that while the company’s asset base is growing, the efficiency with which it generates revenues from those assets is slowly diminishing over the observed periods. Such a decline may suggest challenges in leveraging assets for revenue growth consistently or potential changes in asset composition affecting turnover.

In summary, the data indicates sustained growth in total assets alongside fluctuating revenues that peak and then stabilize, while asset turnover diminishes modestly. This combination may reflect strategic growth in asset holdings that are not immediately matched by proportional revenue increases, implying possible shifts in operational efficiency or investment in longer-term asset buildup.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Equity turnover = (RevenuesQ2 2025 + RevenuesQ1 2025 + RevenuesQ4 2024 + RevenuesQ3 2024) ÷ Total Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. shareholders’ equity
= (10,855 + 10,364 + 11,395 + 10,598) ÷ 50,512 = 0.86

The financial data indicates fluctuations in revenues over the observed quarters, with an initial notable increase from 6,230 million US dollars in March 2020 to a peak of 10,702 million US dollars in December 2021. Following this peak, revenues showed variability, experiencing periods of decline and recovery, ending at 10,855 million US dollars in June 2025. Overall, the revenue trend demonstrates moderate growth with intermittent reductions, suggesting fluctuating market demands or operational challenges within the periods analyzed.

Total shareholders’ equity exhibits a clear upward trajectory throughout the timeline. Starting at 28,559 million US dollars in March 2020, equity consistently increased to reach a high of 50,512 million US dollars in June 2025. The steady growth of equity reflects sustained capital accumulation, possibly driven by retained earnings or equity financing, indicating an enhancement in the company's net asset base and financial stability over time.

Equity turnover ratios, representing the relationship between revenues and shareholders’ equity, display a declining trend beginning from 0.93 in December 2020 to approximately 0.86 towards mid-2025. The ratio's initial rise peaking near 1.04 in late 2021 is followed by a gradual reduction, which may imply decreasing efficiency in generating revenues from equity. This trend suggests that while the company is expanding its equity base, revenue growth has not kept pace proportionally, potentially highlighting changes in asset utilization or shifts in business strategy.

Revenue Trends
Revenues increased sharply up to late 2021, followed by fluctuations with mild recoveries and declines, ending marginally above the starting point by mid-2025.
Shareholders' Equity Development
Equity consistently rose throughout the period, nearly doubling from March 2020 to June 2025, signifying growing financial strength.
Equity Turnover Ratio
The ratio peaked in late 2021 but gradually decreased thereafter, indicating that revenue generation relative to equity has become less efficient over time.

In summary, the data reflects that while there is substantial growth in the equity base, revenue growth is less consistent, and efficiency in leveraging equity to generate revenues has diminished slightly. These patterns may warrant further investigation into factors affecting operational performance and capital deployment strategies.
