The investment activity ratios reflect a period of declining efficiency in fixed asset utilization coupled with a volatile but recovering trend in equity efficiency. A general downward trajectory is evident across asset-based turnover metrics from 2022 through 2025, suggesting an expansion of the asset base that has outpaced revenue growth during this timeframe.

Net Fixed Asset Turnover
A consistent decrease is observed in both the standard and lease-inclusive fixed asset turnover ratios. The standard net fixed asset turnover peaked at 3.01 in September 2022 before descending to a low of 2.32 by March 2026. When accounting for right-of-use assets, a similar compression is seen, moving from a peak of 2.73 in September 2022 to a range between 2.10 and 2.15 in the final periods of the analysis. This trend indicates a reduction in the revenue-generating efficiency of the long-term physical infrastructure.
Total Asset Turnover
Total asset turnover exhibited a gradual decline from a peak of 1.45 in September 2022 to a trough of 1.21 in December 2025. While the decline was less aggressive than that observed in the fixed asset ratios, it confirms a broader trend of diminishing overall asset efficiency. A slight recovery to 1.26 was noted by June 2026.
Equity Turnover
Equity turnover followed a distinct U-shaped pattern. A significant contraction occurred between March 2022, where the ratio stood at 6.41, and June 2023, when it reached a low of 4.80. However, a steady recovery trend emerged thereafter, with the ratio climbing back to 5.97 by June 2026. This reversal suggests that while physical asset efficiency declined, the efficiency of equity utilization improved significantly in the latter half of the observed period.

A long-term downward trend in the net fixed asset turnover ratio is evident throughout the analyzed period. The ratio peaked at 3.01 in September 2022 and reached a low of 2.32 in March 2026, indicating a systemic decrease in the efficiency with which fixed assets are utilized to generate revenue.

Revenue Dynamics
Revenue exhibits significant seasonal volatility, with consistent peaks occurring every December. However, a general decline in peak performance is observable; the December 2022 revenue of 27,033 million USD dropped to 25,301 million USD in December 2024 and further to 24,479 million USD by December 2025.
Fixed Asset Expansion
Net property, plant, and equipment have shown a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from 33,595 million USD in March 2022 to 38,029 million USD by March 2026. This represents a steady expansion of the company's long-term investment base over the period.
Net Fixed Asset Turnover Correlation
The decline in the turnover ratio is the result of the divergence between rising asset values and stagnating or declining revenue. Between December 2022 and March 2024, the ratio dropped sharply from 2.89 to 2.41. From June 2024 through June 2026, the ratio entered a period of relative stabilization, fluctuating within a narrow band between 2.32 and 2.45, suggesting that the rate of asset growth has begun to align more closely with revenue output, albeit at a lower efficiency level than in 2022.

The net fixed asset turnover ratio exhibits a sustained downward trend over the analyzed period, declining from 2.66 in March 2022 to 2.15 by June 2026. This contraction indicates a decrease in the efficiency with which the organization utilizes its long-term physical assets to generate revenue. While the ratio experienced minor fluctuations and relative stabilization between 2024 and 2026, the overall trajectory reflects a reduced capacity to convert fixed asset investments into top-line growth compared to the baseline established in early 2022.

Revenue Dynamics
Revenue patterns demonstrate significant quarterly seasonality, with consistent peaks occurring every December. However, the scale of these peaks has diminished over time, falling from 27,033 million USD in December 2022 to 24,479 million USD in December 2025. The inability to maintain or grow these peak revenue levels has contributed directly to the erosion of the asset turnover ratio.
Fixed Asset Expansion
A consistent upward trajectory is observed in net property, plant, and equipment, including right-of-use assets. The asset base increased from 37,076 million USD in March 2022 to 41,910 million USD by June 2026. This steady growth in the denominator of the turnover calculation, in the absence of proportional revenue increases, has exerted downward pressure on the efficiency ratio.
Turnover Ratio Trajectory
The most significant decline in turnover efficiency occurred between September 2022, where the ratio peaked at 2.73, and March 2024, where it dropped to 2.17. Following this period, the ratio entered a phase of relative stabilization, fluctuating within a narrow range between 2.10 and 2.20. This suggests that the organization has transitioned to a lower equilibrium of asset productivity.

The financial performance from March 2022 through June 2026 is characterized by significant quarterly seasonality in revenue and a gradual decline in asset utilization efficiency.

Revenue Patterns
Quarterly revenue exhibits a consistent cyclical pattern, with peak performance occurring every December. The highest revenue was recorded in December 2022 at 27,033 million US$, followed by slightly lower peaks in subsequent years. Outside of these peak periods, revenue has shown a moderate downward trend, moving from approximately 24 billion US$ in early 2022 to a range between 21 billion and 22 billion US$ in the subsequent years.
Asset Base Stability
Total assets have remained relatively stable throughout the analyzed period, fluctuating within a range between 67,628 million US$ and 73,090 million US$. Because the asset base has not undergone substantial expansion or contraction, the movements in the asset turnover ratio are primarily driven by changes in revenue generation.
Total Asset Turnover Trend
A long-term downward trajectory is observed in the total asset turnover ratio. The ratio peaked at 1.45 in September 2022 but trended lower over the following years, reaching a low of 1.21 in December 2025. Although a slight recovery to 1.26 is noted by June 2026, the overall efficiency in utilizing assets to generate revenue has decreased from the levels seen in 2022.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Equity turnover = (RevenueQ2 2026 + RevenueQ1 2026 + RevenueQ4 2025 + RevenueQ3 2025) ÷ Equity for controlling interests
= (22,834 + 21,202 + 24,479 + 21,415) ÷ 15,067 = 5.97

The equity turnover ratio exhibits a cyclical U-shaped trajectory over the period from March 2022 to June 2026, characterized by an initial contraction followed by a sustained recovery.

Initial Decline Phase (March 2022 – June 2023)
A significant downward trend is observed in the equity turnover ratio, which declined from a peak of 6.41 in March 2022 to a low of 4.80 by June 2023. This deterioration in efficiency was primarily driven by a substantial expansion of equity for controlling interests, which rose from 15,416 million USD to a peak of 20,038 million USD in March 2023. During this timeframe, revenue remained volatile, failing to grow at a pace sufficient to offset the increase in the equity base.
Stabilization and Recovery Phase (September 2023 – December 2024)
The ratio entered a period of stabilization starting in late 2023, oscillating between 4.86 and 5.45. This phase marks a pivot where the equity turnover began to improve as equity for controlling interests started a steady decline from its 20,038 million USD peak toward 16,718 million USD by September 2024. The synchronization of stabilizing revenues and a shrinking equity base resulted in a gradual increase in the asset utilization efficiency.
Expansion Phase (March 2025 – June 2026)
A consistent upward trend is evident in the final stages of the analysis. The equity turnover ratio climbed from 5.81 in March 2025 to 5.97 by June 2026. This improvement is attributed to the continued reduction of equity for controlling interests, which reached 15,067 million USD by June 2026, coupled with a recovery in quarterly revenue figures. The data indicates a return toward the efficiency levels observed at the beginning of the analyzed period.

Overall, the fluctuations in equity turnover were more closely correlated with changes in the equity base than with revenue volatility. The initial decline was a result of equity growth outpacing revenue, while the subsequent recovery was driven by a strategic reduction in equity for controlling interests relative to generated sales.
