The period under review demonstrates a fluctuating pattern in economic profit. While initial years exhibited strong performance, a noticeable decline is observed in subsequent periods.

Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
NOPAT increased from US$7,923 million in 2021 to US$8,736 million in 2022, indicating improved operational profitability. However, a significant decrease to US$6,512 million occurred in 2023, followed by further reductions to US$5,023 million in 2024. A slight recovery to US$5,439 million is evident in 2025, but remains below the levels achieved in 2021 and 2022.
Cost of Capital
The cost of capital remained relatively stable throughout the period, fluctuating between 16.43% and 16.77%. A minor increase to 16.56% is observed in 2025. This consistency suggests that the company’s risk profile and market conditions influencing its funding costs remained largely unchanged.
Invested Capital
Invested capital consistently increased over the five-year period, rising from US$16,409 million in 2021 to US$28,591 million in 2025. This indicates ongoing investment in the business, potentially through capital expenditures or acquisitions. The rate of increase accelerated between 2022 and 2024.
Economic Profit
Economic profit peaked at US$5,791 million in 2022, reflecting strong NOPAT and a manageable cost of capital relative to invested capital. However, a substantial decline is apparent in subsequent years, falling to US$2,800 million in 2023 and further decreasing to US$725 million in 2024. Economic profit stabilized slightly in 2025 at US$703 million, but remains significantly lower than earlier levels. The decreasing trend in economic profit, despite increasing invested capital, suggests diminishing returns on investment or a widening gap between returns generated and the cost of funding those returns.

The observed trends suggest that while the company continues to invest in its operations, its ability to generate economic profit has been challenged in recent years. The decline in NOPAT appears to be a primary driver of this trend, despite a relatively stable cost of capital.

Net income and net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) exhibited similar patterns over the five-year period. Both metrics increased from 2021 to 2022, followed by a decline through 2024, and a partial recovery in 2025. However, the magnitude of change differed between the two measures.

Overall Trend
From 2021 to 2022, both net income and NOPAT demonstrated growth, increasing from US$7,769 million and US$7,923 million, respectively, to US$8,749 million and US$8,736 million. This represents a period of positive financial performance. A subsequent downturn occurred between 2022 and 2024, with both metrics decreasing. Net income fell to US$4,799 million and NOPAT to US$5,023 million. A modest recovery was then observed in 2025, with net income reaching US$5,001 million and NOPAT reaching US$5,439 million.
NOPAT Analysis
NOPAT began at US$7,923 million in 2021 and peaked at US$8,736 million in 2022, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 10.3%. The subsequent decline saw NOPAT decrease by approximately 42.6% between 2022 and 2024. The 2025 value indicates a partial recovery, with an increase of approximately 8.2% from 2024. The fluctuations in NOPAT suggest sensitivity to underlying operational factors or broader economic conditions.
Relationship to Net Income
NOPAT closely tracked net income throughout the period. The difference between the two values remained relatively small each year, indicating that non-operating items had a limited impact on overall profitability. In 2021, NOPAT exceeded net income by US$154 million. This difference narrowed in 2022 to just US$13 million. The gap widened again in 2023, 2024, and 2025, reaching US$22 million, US$224 million, and US$438 million respectively, suggesting a growing divergence due to non-operating factors in later years.

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31).


The provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes exhibited distinct patterns over the five-year period. Both metrics experienced fluctuations, though cash operating taxes demonstrated a more pronounced variance than the provision for income taxes.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes initially increased from US$1,150 million in 2021 to US$1,283 million in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 11.57%. A subsequent decrease was observed in 2023, falling to US$908 million. This downward trend continued into 2024 with a further reduction to US$654 million, before modestly increasing to US$709 million in 2025. Overall, the provision for income taxes decreased from 2022 to 2025.
Cash Operating Taxes
Cash operating taxes showed a significant increase from US$1,176 million in 2021 to US$1,521 million in 2022, a rise of approximately 29.12%. This was followed by a decrease to US$1,286 million in 2023. The decline continued into 2024, reaching US$978 million, and further decreased to US$849 million in 2025. The trend indicates a substantial reduction in cash operating taxes from the peak in 2022 to the end of the period.

The difference between the provision for income taxes and cash operating taxes narrowed from US$26 million in 2021 to US$238 million in 2022. However, this difference reversed in subsequent years, becoming a negative value of US$378 million in 2023, US$324 million in 2024, and US$140 million in 2025. This suggests a growing divergence between reported tax expense and actual cash outflows for taxes, potentially due to timing differences or tax planning strategies.

The most substantial changes occurred between 2022 and 2023 for both metrics, with both experiencing notable declines. The period from 2023 to 2025 shows a more moderate, but continued, decrease in cash operating taxes, while the provision for income taxes stabilized somewhat.

Invested capital has demonstrated a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Simultaneously, both total reported debt & leases and stockholders’ equity have increased, contributing to the growth in invested capital. The rate of increase in invested capital appears to be accelerating in later years.

Total Reported Debt & Leases
Total reported debt & leases increased from US$8,206 million in 2021 to US$14,779 million in 2025. The largest single-year increase occurred between 2022 and 2023, rising by US$2,635 million. Growth slowed between 2023 and 2024, but remained substantial at US$2,588 million. The increase from 2024 to 2025 was minimal, at US$392 million.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity exhibited growth from US$13,333 million in 2021 to US$16,273 million in 2025. The rate of growth was most pronounced between 2021 and 2023, increasing by US$3,564 million. Growth slowed considerably between 2023 and 2024, with a marginal increase, and then decreased slightly in 2025.
Invested Capital
Invested capital increased steadily from US$16,409 million in 2021 to US$28,591 million in 2025. The increase from 2021 to 2022 was US$1,154 million. The increase from 2022 to 2023 was US$5,027 million, representing a significant acceleration. This trend continued from 2023 to 2024 with an increase of US$3,577 million, and then US$2,424 million from 2024 to 2025. The growth in invested capital is largely driven by the increases in both debt and equity, with debt contributing a larger proportion of the increase in recent years.

The consistent rise in invested capital suggests ongoing investment in operations and/or acquisitions. The increasing reliance on debt financing, particularly between 2022 and 2024, warrants further investigation to assess the associated financial risk and the returns generated from these investments.

The economic spread ratio demonstrates a significant declining trend over the five-year period. While initially strong, the ratio exhibits a substantial decrease, indicating a diminishing competitive advantage or efficiency in capital allocation.

Economic Spread Ratio
The economic spread ratio began at 31.61% in 2021 and increased slightly to 32.97% in 2022. This suggests a period of strong profitability relative to the cost of capital. However, a marked downturn commenced in 2023, with the ratio falling to 12.39%. This decline accelerated in subsequent years, reaching 2.77% in 2024 and further decreasing to 2.46% in 2025. This consistent reduction suggests a weakening ability to generate returns exceeding the cost of invested capital.

The decline in the economic spread ratio coincides with increases in invested capital. While economic profit remained positive throughout the period, its rate of growth slowed considerably, and the increasing capital base was not translating into proportional gains in economic profit. This suggests potential inefficiencies in deploying capital or a more competitive landscape impacting profitability.

Relationship to Economic Profit and Invested Capital
Economic profit increased from US$5,186 million in 2021 to US$5,791 million in 2022, but then decreased significantly to US$2,800 million in 2023, and continued to fall to US$725 million in 2024 and US$703 million in 2025. Simultaneously, invested capital rose steadily from US$16,409 million in 2021 to US$28,591 million in 2025. The combination of decreasing economic profit and increasing invested capital is the primary driver of the observed decline in the economic spread ratio.

The consistent decrease in the economic spread ratio warrants further investigation. Analysis should focus on identifying the factors contributing to the reduced profitability and evaluating the effectiveness of capital allocation strategies. Potential areas of inquiry include changes in operating costs, revenue growth, competitive pressures, and the efficiency of investment decisions.

The economic profit exhibited a fluctuating pattern over the five-year period. Initially increasing, it subsequently declined, reaching its lowest point in 2024 before experiencing a slight recovery in 2025. Revenue also demonstrated variability, peaking in 2022 and then decreasing before a partial rebound in the final year. The economic profit margin, calculated from these figures, reflects this dynamic, showing a clear downward trend overall.

Economic Profit
Economic profit increased from US$5,186 million in 2021 to US$5,791 million in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 11.7%. A significant decrease was then observed, with economic profit falling to US$2,800 million in 2023. This decline continued into 2024, reaching US$725 million, before a modest increase to US$703 million in 2025. The 2025 value remains substantially lower than the figures from 2021 and 2022.
Revenue
Revenue increased from US$18,344 million in 2021 to US$20,028 million in 2022, a rise of roughly 9.2%. A subsequent decrease brought revenue to US$17,519 million in 2023. The largest decline occurred between 2023 and 2024, with revenue falling to US$15,641 million. A partial recovery was noted in 2025, with revenue reaching US$17,682 million, though still below the 2022 peak.
Economic Profit Margin
The economic profit margin began at 28.27% in 2021 and rose to 28.92% in 2022. A substantial decrease was then observed, with the margin falling to 15.98% in 2023. This downward trend accelerated in 2024, with the margin dropping to 4.64%. The margin continued to decline, albeit at a slower rate, reaching 3.98% in 2025. This represents a significant reduction from the levels observed in the earlier years of the period.

The consistent decline in the economic profit margin, despite a revenue recovery in 2025, suggests increasing costs or decreasing efficiency in generating economic profit from sales. The substantial drop in both economic profit and the margin between 2022 and 2024 warrants further investigation to determine the underlying causes.
