1 US$ in millions
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company
- The net income exhibits a general upward trend from 2005 through 2019, increasing from $2,533 million to a peak of $12,598 million in 2018. There is a notable decline in 2020, with a loss of $2,864 million likely attributable to extraordinary circumstances impacting operations that year. Following this dip, net income gradually recovers over the subsequent years, reaching $4,972 million by 2024, though remaining below the pre-2020 peak levels.
- Total Assets
- Total assets display steady growth over the period from $53,158 million in 2005 to a significant increase to $193,984 million in 2019, likely reflecting strategic expansions or acquisitions. After this substantial jump, total assets plateau and show marginal fluctuations, stabilizing around $196,219 million by 2024, indicating a phase of consolidated asset management or optimization.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA shows an overall positive trend from 4.77% in 2005, rising steadily to peak at 12.78% in 2018, which suggests improved efficiency in asset utilization leading up to that year. The sharp decline to -1.42% in 2020 coincides with the net income loss and reflects operational challenges that severely affected profitability relative to asset base. Subsequent years show a modest recovery to 2.53% by 2024, still significantly lower than peak levels, indicating a gradual but incomplete rebound in asset profitability.
- Overall Observations
- The financial data reveals a pattern of robust growth and increasing profitability from 2005 until 2019, demonstrating successful expansion and improved operational efficiency. The marked disruptions in 2020 led to a temporary reversal in both profitability and return measures, with partial recovery evidenced thereafter. The stabilization of total assets post-2019 suggests a shift towards consolidating existing investments and managing resources with caution. The recovery in net income and ROA remains ongoing but has not yet returned to the previously attained peak performance.
