The financial data reveals several noteworthy trends over the five-year period ending December 31, 2023.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
-
NOPAT demonstrated a fluctuating but overall increasing pattern. Initially, there was a decline from $168.1 million in 2019 to $132.8 million in 2020. However, a strong recovery and growth followed, peaking at $575.8 million in 2022 before encountering a slight decrease to $521.6 million in 2023. This indicates substantial improvements in operational profitability after 2020 despite a mild setback in the final year.
- Cost of Capital
-
The cost of capital showed a slight but consistent downward trend over the period, decreasing from 19.4% in 2019 to 18.66% in 2023. This gradual reduction suggests a modest decline in the risk profile or financing costs of the company, potentially contributing to enhanced value creation opportunities.
- Invested Capital
-
Invested capital witnessed significant growth, rising from approximately $528.9 million in 2019 to $1.3 billion in 2023. Despite a reduction from the 2020 peak of $951.5 million to $779.2 million in 2021, the invested capital expanded markedly thereafter, indicating increased asset investment or capital deployment. This reflects a strategic scaling of operations or asset base over the analyzed timeframe.
- Economic Profit
-
Economic profit displayed volatility, beginning with a positive $65.5 million in 2019, then turning negative to -$47.2 million in 2020. Following this trough, the company achieved strong rebounds with economic profit rising to $110.3 million in 2021, peaking at $333.7 million in 2022, and slightly retreating to $278.6 million in 2023. The negative value in 2020 likely reflected challenges or inefficiencies during that year, but subsequent growth indicates improved returns above the cost of capital.
Overall, the data suggest that after facing headwinds around 2020, the company successfully strengthened profitability and economic value generation, supported by increased capital investment and a marginally declining cost of capital. The recent slight decreases in 2023 NOPAT and economic profit may warrant further monitoring to assess sustainability of these gains.

The annual financial data reveals significant trends in both net income and net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) over the five-year period ending December 31, 2023.
- Net Income
- Net income experienced a decline from 2019 to 2020, decreasing from $161,148 thousand to $133,995 thousand. This was followed by a moderate recovery in 2021, with net income rising to $145,449 thousand. A substantial increase occurred in 2022, where net income nearly tripled compared to the previous year, reaching $397,362 thousand. The upward trend continued into 2023, with net income rising further to $438,936 thousand.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- NOPAT showed a similar pattern to net income but with more pronounced fluctuations. It decreased slightly from $168,136 thousand in 2019 to $132,831 thousand in 2020. In 2021, NOPAT nearly doubled to $255,560 thousand, indicating a strong improvement in operating profitability. A significant surge occurred in 2022, with NOPAT reaching $575,824 thousand, which more than doubled the previous year’s figure. However, in 2023, there was a notable decrease to $521,640 thousand, representing a decline compared to 2022 but still substantially above values from earlier years.
- Overall Trends and Insights
- Both net income and NOPAT reflect a recovery and growth trajectory after an initial dip in 2020, suggesting that the company improved profitability after the economic challenges that year. The dramatic increases in 2022 indicate a period of exceptional operational performance. The slight decline in NOPAT in 2023, despite continuing growth in net income, might indicate changes in operational efficiency or expense structure that merit further examination. The general upward trend for both metrics over the five years suggests strengthening financial health and enhanced value generation.

- Income Taxes Provision for (Benefit From)
- The income taxes provision exhibited a volatile trend over the five-year period. It started with a negative value of -$71,034 thousand in 2019, indicating a tax benefit or credit situation. This negative provision decreased substantially to -$14,585 thousand in 2020 and further to -$24,521 thousand in 2021, showing fluctuations in tax benefits during these years. However, in 2022, there was a significant reversal, with the provision turning positive to $54,686 thousand, indicating a tax expense. This upward trend continued in 2023, reaching $74,203 thousand, which suggests increasing tax liabilities or reduced tax benefits in these latter years.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes demonstrated a steady and strong upward trajectory throughout the analyzed period. Beginning at $3,653 thousand in 2019, the amount nearly doubled to $6,809 thousand in 2020, more than doubled again to $16,301 thousand in 2021, and saw a dramatic rise to $54,271 thousand in 2022. The growth culminated at $108,957 thousand in 2023, representing an approximately 30-fold increase from the 2019 figure. This continuous increase suggests substantially higher cash tax outflows, potentially reflecting improved profitability, changes in tax regulations, or reduced tax incentives.

The financial data over the five-year period reveals key trends in the company's capital structure and financial positioning.
- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- The total reported debt and leases exhibit a significant increase from 2019 to 2020, more than tripling from approximately $118.3 million to $350.6 million. This upward trajectory accelerates further in 2021 when debt nearly triples again to over $1.05 billion. In 2022, the total debt continues to rise but at a moderated pace, reaching approximately $1.31 billion, and remains relatively stable through 2023.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity shows growth overall, with a notable increase from $272.2 million in 2019 to nearly $484 million in 2020. However, in 2021 there is a decline to about $430.2 million. Following this dip, equity increases substantially in 2022 to $825.6 million and reaches $983.6 million by 2023, nearly doubling from the previous year and demonstrating a strengthening equity base in recent periods.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital fluctuates over the period with an initial sharp increase from $528.9 million in 2019 to $951.5 million in 2020. It then decreases to $779.2 million in 2021 before sharply rising again in 2022 to $1.29 billion and remaining relatively stable through 2023 at about $1.30 billion. This pattern suggests periods of investment expansion followed by some consolidation before significant capital deployment resumes.
Overall, the data indicates a trend of increasing leverage over the five years, especially between 2019 and 2021, followed by stabilization in debt levels. Equity has grown robustly after a slight setback in 2021, supporting a stronger capital base by 2023. Invested capital reflects these financing changes, showing corresponding increases that suggest strategic growth initiatives or acquisitions that require elevated capital investment. The stabilization in debt alongside rising equity towards the end suggests an effort to balance the capital structure for sustained financial health.

The financial data reveals significant fluctuations and overall trends in economic profitability, capital investment, and economic spread for the analyzed periods. A detailed examination indicates changes that impact the company's value creation and efficiency in capital deployment.
- Economic Profit
-
The economic profit displays considerable variability over the years. Beginning with a positive value of 65,539 thousand USD at the end of 2019, there was a decline resulting in a negative figure of -47,222 thousand USD in 2020. Subsequently, the company experienced a strong recovery with economic profit rising sharply to 110,307 thousand USD in 2021. This upward momentum continued in 2022, reaching a peak of 333,718 thousand USD, before experiencing a reduction to 278,608 thousand USD in 2023. Despite the reduction in the final year, the economic profit remains substantially above the levels observed prior to 2021, signifying improved profitability and value generation in recent years.
- Invested Capital
-
Invested capital generally increased across the time frame, denoting expanded financial commitment and resource allocation. Starting from 528,927 thousand USD in 2019, invested capital almost doubled to 951,473 thousand USD in 2020, followed by a decline to 779,239 thousand USD in 2021. From 2021 onwards, the invested capital exhibited strong growth, rising to 1,285,383 thousand USD in 2022 and slightly increasing to 1,302,318 thousand USD in 2023. This trend suggests an ongoing strategy to increase capital base, which potentially supports the observed growth in economic profit in the latter years.
- Economic Spread Ratio
-
The economic spread ratio, which reflects the spread between return on invested capital and cost of capital, shows a pattern consistent with the economic profit figures. The ratio started positively at 12.39% in 2019, fell to a negative -4.96% in 2020, indicating a period where capital costs likely exceeded returns. A strong recovery occurred from 2021 onwards, with the ratio increasing to 14.16% in 2021 and peaking at 25.96% in 2022 before slightly declining to 21.39% in 2023. The high spread ratios during 2021-2023 represent efficient capital utilization and enhanced profitability exceeding capital costs, aligning with the increased economic profit and capital investments during these years.
In summary, the analyzed financial indicators portray a period of initial downturn in 2020, followed by substantial improvements in profitability and capital efficiency. The company has increased its invested capital considerably while achieving higher economic profits and spreads in recent years, suggesting effective management of resources and successful operational performance post-2020.

The financial performance shows significant fluctuations over the reported periods, with notable recovery and growth after a downturn.
- Economic Profit
- The economic profit experienced a decline from a positive value of approximately $65.5 million in 2019 to a negative value of about $47.2 million in 2020, indicating a period of loss or underperformance. However, this was followed by a substantial recovery, with economic profit rising sharply to $110.3 million in 2021 and continuing to increase significantly to $333.7 million in 2022. In 2023, economic profit slightly declined but remained robust at $278.6 million, indicating sustained profitability despite the minor decrease.
- Adjusted Net Revenues
- Revenue figures demonstrate a consistent upward trend over the five years, nearly doubling annually from $696.3 million in 2019 to $765.6 million in 2020 and exhibiting a remarkable jump to about $1.46 billion in 2021. This growth further accelerated in 2022, reaching approximately $2.45 billion. In 2023, revenues slightly decreased to around $2.41 billion but still remained significantly higher than the previous years, suggesting strong but stabilizing sales performance.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin mirrors the economic profit's pattern, starting at a healthy 9.41% in 2019 before dropping to -6.17% in 2020, consistent with the negative economic profit. It rebounded to 7.56% in 2021 and improved substantially to 13.6% in 2022. Although there was a reduction in 2023 to 11.58%, the margin remained well above earlier levels, indicating a generally favorable margin performance after recovery.
Overall, the data reflects a period of initial decline in profitability and margin in 2020, followed by a robust recovery and growth in subsequent years. Revenue growth has been strong and consistent, supporting the improvement in economic profit and profit margins. The slight declines in economic profit and margin in 2023 suggest a possible stabilization or maturation phase.
