Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
The NOPAT shows a fluctuating trend over the analyzed periods. It increased from approximately 1.45 billion US dollars in 2018 to about 1.64 billion in 2019, which represents a positive growth. However, it declined in 2020 to around 1.27 billion US dollars, likely reflecting challenging conditions during that year. Subsequently, the NOPAT recovered, rising to approximately 1.67 billion in 2021 and further to about 2.14 billion US dollars by the end of 2022, indicating improved profitability and operational efficiency in the later years.
Cost of Capital
The cost of capital remained relatively stable across the observed years, starting at 13.31% in 2018 and showing a gradual slight increase to 13.90% by 2022. The marginal upward trend suggests a moderately rising hurdle rate for returns, possibly reflecting changes in market conditions or risk perceptions over time.
Invested Capital
Invested capital exhibits some volatility. After an increase from approximately 13.68 billion US dollars in 2018 to 15.64 billion in 2019, there was a noticeable decline in 2020 and 2021 to about 13.83 billion and 13.35 billion, respectively. In 2022, it slightly increased again to roughly 13.52 billion US dollars. This pattern may indicate asset optimization or divestitures following a peak in 2019.
Economic Profit
Economic profit is negative for the first four years, beginning at -370 million US dollars in 2018 and worsening to -430.6 million in 2019, further deteriorating to -570.7 million in 2020. A significant improvement is observed in 2021, with the negative economic profit narrowing to -129.3 million US dollars. By 2022, economic profit turns positive at approximately 260 million US dollars, signaling that the company's net operating profit exceeded the cost of capital, thus generating value for shareholders in the latest period.
Summary
Overall, the data reveals a recovery trajectory after 2020, with key indicators such as NOPAT and economic profit demonstrating improvement. Declining invested capital after 2019 suggests strategic reallocation or efficiency measures. The steady cost of capital underscores a relatively stable financial environment in terms of capital costs. The positive shift in economic profit by 2022 is a noteworthy development, indicating enhanced economic value creation in recent operations.

Net earnings attributable to Trane Technologies plc
Net earnings exhibit variability over the five-year period analyzed. The value increased from approximately 1.34 billion US dollars in 2018 to about 1.41 billion in 2019, representing moderate growth. However, a significant decline occurred in 2020, with net earnings dropping to approximately 854.9 million US dollars. This downturn was followed by a strong recovery in 2021, when net earnings rose again to roughly 1.42 billion US dollars. The upward trend continued into 2022, reaching the highest observed value of approximately 1.76 billion US dollars, indicating overall positive growth in the latter years despite the earlier dip.
Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)
NOPAT demonstrates a generally increasing trend, with fluctuations noticeable in the dataset. Starting at roughly 1.45 billion US dollars in 2018, NOPAT increased to around 1.64 billion in 2019. A decline is observed in 2020, where it decreased to nearly 1.27 billion US dollars. Subsequent years show a recovery trend: in 2021, NOPAT rose significantly to approximately 1.67 billion, followed by a substantial increase in 2022 to nearly 2.14 billion US dollars. This pattern of decrease in 2020 followed by strong growth thereafter mirrors the trend observed in net earnings and suggests resilience and effective operational performance improvements post-2020.

Tax Expense Trend
The tax expense exhibits a fluctuating pattern over the five-year period. It increased from 281,300 thousand US dollars in 2018 to a peak of 353,700 thousand US dollars in 2019. Following this, there was a decline to 296,800 thousand US dollars in 2020, before rising again in 2021 to 333,500 thousand US dollars. In 2022, the tax expense continued to grow, reaching 375,900 thousand US dollars, the highest value in the series.
Cash Operating Taxes Trend
The cash operating taxes show a general downward trend with some recovery periods. After a high of 475,262 thousand US dollars in 2018, there was a notable decrease to 391,918 thousand US dollars in 2019, followed by a further decline to 328,760 thousand US dollars in 2020. In 2021, cash operating taxes rebounded to 409,078 thousand US dollars but then declined again to 356,060 thousand US dollars in 2022. Overall, the values in 2022 remain below the initial 2018 figure.
Comparative Insights
While tax expense shows a general upward trajectory with some volatility, cash operating taxes have generally decreased from the 2018 level, despite some recovery in 2021. This divergence suggests potential timing differences or adjustments in non-cash accounting components affecting reported tax expenses relative to actual cash outflows in taxes.

Total Reported Debt & Leases

The total reported debt and leases displayed an overall increasing trend from 2018 through 2022. Starting at approximately 4.64 billion USD in 2018, the figure rose significantly to about 6.14 billion USD in 2019, marking the highest value within the period. Subsequently, the debt decreased to approximately 5.69 billion USD in 2020 and continued to decline to 5.29 billion USD in 2021. In 2022, the total reported debt and leases slightly increased to around 5.31 billion USD. This pattern indicates a peak in 2019, followed by a gradual reduction and stabilization in the recent years.

Total Shareholders’ Equity

The total shareholders’ equity showed a decreasing trend over the five-year period. Beginning at roughly 7.02 billion USD in 2018, equity increased slightly to about 7.27 billion USD in 2019. However, from 2019 onwards, equity declined consistently to approximately 6.41 billion USD in 2020, then to 6.26 billion USD in 2021, and further to 6.09 billion USD in 2022. This steady reduction suggests a shrinking equity base over time.

Invested Capital

Invested capital increased from approximately 13.68 billion USD in 2018 to a peak of about 15.64 billion USD in 2019. Following this peak, invested capital decreased to around 13.83 billion USD in 2020 and continued to decline to 13.35 billion USD in 2021. In 2022, there was a slight increase to roughly 13.52 billion USD. This trend reflects a significant build-up of capital in 2019, followed by a contraction and subsequent stabilization during the last two years.
