- Operating Revenues
- The operating revenues displayed a generally positive trend over the analyzed period. Starting at $13,074 million in 2005, revenues experienced moderate fluctuations with a slight dip around 2009, reaching a low of $11,791 million. Following this decline, revenues gradually increased each year, surpassing previous highs to reach $17,931 million by 2021. The growth trend indicates an overall expansion in the company's sales or service income despite occasional downturns.
- Total Assets
- Total assets remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations during the initial years, ranging between approximately $20,100 million and $23,000 million from 2005 to 2014. Beginning in 2015, there was a marked and sustained increase in total assets, peaking at $29,345 million in 2021. This substantial growth following 2014 suggests significant asset acquisitions or capital investments, indicative of expansion efforts or shifts in asset management strategy.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio, reflecting efficiency in generating revenues from assets, generally hovered around 0.6 throughout the period. It started at 0.62 in 2005, showed a peak of 0.66 during 2007-2008 and again in 2013-2014, and presented a declining trend from 2015, reaching a low of 0.52 in 2020 before rebounding to 0.62 in 2021. This pattern demonstrates fluctuating efficiency, with a noticeable decline coinciding with the asset growth phase post-2014. The rebound in 2021 might indicate improved asset utilization following recent investments or operational adjustments.
