Net Income Trend
The net income attributable to the company has shown consistent growth over the analyzed periods. Starting at approximately 5.11 billion USD in 2020, it increased steadily each year, reaching about 7.68 billion USD by 2025. The growth rate appears to be stable, indicating steady profitability improvements.
Earnings Before Tax (EBT)
EBT followed a comparable upward trajectory, rising from around 6.77 billion USD in 2020 to approximately 10.27 billion USD in 2025. The progression is generally smooth, albeit with a slight plateau noted between 2022 and 2023 before resuming an upward trend. This suggests successful management of pre-tax earnings despite potential variabilities.
Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
The EBIT values mirror the EBT trends closely, increasing from roughly 6.81 billion USD in 2020 to nearly 10.5 billion USD in 2025. The minor differences observed between EBIT and EBT reflect stable interest expenses and tax management over time, underscoring effective operational performance.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA demonstrates a robust upward trend as well, advancing from approximately 7.83 billion USD in 2020 to over 12.2 billion USD in 2025. The growth appears somewhat more pronounced compared to EBIT and EBT, indicating that operational cash flow generation has been strengthening and that non-cash expenses like depreciation and amortization remain controlled.
Overall Observations
The financial indicators collectively reveal a pattern of steady growth in earnings across different stages of profitability and operational efficiency metrics. The progression from net income through EBITDA suggests consistent improvements in both bottom-line results and operational cash flow. The data does not show significant volatility, implying a stable and controlled financial environment within the company over the examined periods.

Enterprise Value (EV)
The enterprise value exhibited fluctuations over the analyzed periods. It started at approximately 137 billion US dollars and experienced a significant increase to over 208 billion by August 2021. Subsequently, it decreased to around 150 billion in August 2022, then rose again to nearly 183 billion in August 2023, followed by a peak near 223 billion in August 2024 before falling substantially to approximately 144 billion in August 2025. This pattern indicates considerable volatility in the company's overall market valuation during this timeframe.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA showed a consistent upward trajectory throughout the years under review. It increased steadily from about 7.8 billion US dollars in August 2020 to over 12.2 billion by August 2025. This upward trend signals improving operational performance and profitability before accounting for non-operational expenses.
EV/EBITDA Ratio
The EV/EBITDA ratio experienced notable variability, reflecting changes in both valuation and earnings. The ratio started at 17.46 in August 2020, peaked at 23.31 in August 2021, then declined to 14.25 in August 2022. Afterwards, it moved upwards again to reach 19.87 by August 2024, before descending to a low of 11.82 in August 2025. The decreasing trend towards the end of the period, coupled with increasing EBITDA, may suggest that the company's operational earnings grew at a faster rate relative to its enterprise value, potentially indicating improved valuation attractiveness or operational efficiency.
