- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The net operating profit after taxes exhibited a fluctuating yet overall upward trend from 2019 through 2023. Starting at 168,136 thousand US dollars in 2019, it decreased to 132,831 thousand in 2020. Subsequently, it experienced a significant increase to 255,560 thousand in 2021, peaked at 575,824 thousand in 2022, and slightly declined to 521,640 thousand in 2023. Despite the dip in 2023, the NOPAT at the end of the period remains substantially higher than in the earlier years, indicating improved operational profitability over the long term.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital remained relatively stable over the five-year period, fluctuating marginally between 18.62% and 19.38%. It decreased slightly from 19.38% in 2019 to 18.62% in 2021, showing a minor reduction in capital costs, before slightly increasing to 18.82% in 2022 and then settling at 18.64% in 2023. This stability suggests consistent conditions regarding the company's capital risk and financing costs.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital showed considerable growth overall, expanding from 528,927 thousand US dollars in 2019 to 1,302,318 thousand in 2023. The most notable increase occurred between 2019 and 2020, where invested capital nearly doubled from approximately 529 million to 951 million US dollars. There was a slight decline in 2021 to 779,239 thousand USD, followed by another rise in 2022 and 2023. This indicates ongoing investment activities and capital allocation to support business expansion or operational needs.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit displayed volatility throughout the reviewed period. In 2019, the figure was positive at 65,633 thousand US dollars, but it turned negative in 2020 with a loss of 47,059 thousand. Subsequently, economic profit rebounded strongly to 110,438 thousand in 2021 and continued to improve significantly in 2022 to 333,938 thousand. In 2023, economic profit decreased somewhat to 278,828 thousand but remained positive and substantially above the levels recorded at the beginning of the period. The fluctuations indicate periods of varying efficiency in generating returns over and above the cost of capital, improving materially after 2020.

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 upward trajectory continued with a substantial increase to 333,938 thousand US dollars in 2022, followed by a slight decrease to 278,828 thousand US dollars in 2023. This pattern indicates volatility in profitability with a strong rebound and generally positive trend from 2021 onwards.
