The invested capital showed a consistent downward trend over the five-year period. Starting at 21,038 million USD in 2020, it decreased steadily each year, reaching 14,934 million USD by 2024. This steady reduction indicates a gradual decrease in capital investment or asset base over time.

A pronounced increase occurred in 2023 with MVA rising to 157,880 million USD, followed by a slight decline to 150,191 million USD in 2024. This reflects a significant value creation relative to invested capital in the latter years despite earlier declines.

The financial data over the five-year span indicates several notable trends in key performance metrics.

Market Value Added (MVA)
Market value added exhibited significant fluctuations between 2020 and 2024. The MVA initially decreased from 88,372 million US dollars in 2020 to 53,298 million US dollars in 2021, reflecting a decline in value creation. It then showed a moderate recovery in 2022, increasing to 60,902 million US dollars. A substantial surge occurred in 2023 when MVA more than doubled to 157,880 million US dollars, marking the highest value in the period. In 2024, there was a slight reduction to 150,191 million US dollars, but the level remained considerably elevated relative to earlier years.
Revenue
Revenue demonstrated a consistent and strong growth trend throughout the five years. From 11,139 million US dollars in 2020, revenue increased steadily each year, reaching 17,455 million in 2021, 31,877 million in 2022, 37,281 million in 2023, and 43,978 million in 2024. This upward trajectory reflects expanding sales or service income, with a particularly sharp increase between 2021 and 2022.
MVA Margin (Market Value Added as a percentage of Revenue)
The MVA margin showed significant variability, indicating changes in value creation efficiency relative to revenue. It started at an exceptionally high 793.36% in 2020, substantially dropped to 305.35% in 2021, and further declined to 191.05% in 2022. However, from 2022 to 2023, the MVA margin more than doubled to 423.49%, suggesting improved market valuation relative to generated revenue. In 2024, the margin settled at 341.51%, still higher than the 2021 and 2022 figures but below the peak levels of 2020 and 2023.

Overall, the data reflects a company undergoing substantial growth in revenue with corresponding changes in market value added. The sharp increase in MVA in 2023 indicates a significant enhancement in market perception or value creation capacity despite a slight pullback in 2024. The MVA margin analysis suggests that while revenue grew steadily, the market's valuation multiple on those revenues experienced volatility, peaking notably in 2020 and again in 2023 before stabilizing at a still elevated level.
