Net fixed asset turnover

The net fixed asset turnover ratio presents data starting from December 31, 2018. Initially, it shows values in the mid-teens range, starting at 14.35 and slightly increasing to 15.56 by September 30, 2019. A decline to 11.29 is observed at December 31, 2019, followed by a recovery period where the ratio gradually rises again. From March 31, 2020, onward, the ratio steadily increases, reaching a peak of 17.36 by March 31, 2023. This upward trend after the initial dip indicates an improvement in the efficiency of utilizing fixed assets over time.

Total asset turnover

The total asset turnover ratio begins reporting values from December 31, 2018, with an initial value of 0.35. This ratio remains relatively stable at 0.35 through the first two quarters of 2019 but then declines to 0.11 by December 31, 2019. Post-2019, a gradual recovery trend is noted with incremental increases each quarter, improving to 0.12, 0.14, 0.15, and stabilizing around 0.15 through 2020. From 2021 onwards, a slow but consistent increase is evident, reaching a value of 0.24 by March 31, 2023. This pattern suggests enhancing overall asset utilization efficiency following a notable dip at the end of 2019.

Equity turnover

The equity turnover ratio is initially observed at 0.82 on March 31, 2019, with slight increases to 0.85 and 0.84 in the subsequent quarters. A sharp decline occurs in the final quarter of 2019, dropping to 0.19. After this drop, the ratio begins a recovery, incrementally increasing through 2020 and 2021, moving from 0.21 up to around 0.29 by December 31, 2021. Continuing this upward trend, the ratio gradually rises and accelerates significantly during the last reported quarters, achieving 0.54 by March 31, 2023. This shows an improving trend in equity utilization, especially pronounced in the more recent periods.

The revenue figures demonstrate notable fluctuations over the observed periods. Initial revenue values remained relatively stable between March 2018 and June 2019, with a modest increase in the third quarter of 2019 and a significant rise continuing into the fourth quarter of the same year. Despite a decline at the start of 2020, revenue rebounded strongly through the remainder of 2020 and into 2021, reaching one of its highest points in December 2021. Following this peak, revenue slightly decreased but stayed at relatively high levels through the first quarter of 2023, illustrating some volatility but overall growth compared to the earlier periods.

The net value of property and equipment showed moderate variation across the quarters. Starting around 581 million US dollars in March 2018, net fixed assets slightly declined to around 541 million by mid-2019 before a substantial increase to 811 million in the third quarter of 2019. This elevated value continued rising to peak near 949 million by the end of 2021, subsequently decreasing but maintaining generally high levels close to 838 million by the first quarter of 2023. The trends suggest periods of capital investment followed by stabilization or slight divestment.

Net fixed asset turnover ratios are available from the third quarter of 2018 onwards and provide insight into operational efficiency. The ratio showed fluctuation between approximately 11.29 and 17.36 during the period, with the lowest values observed around the end of 2019 and early 2020, coinciding with dips in revenue. Subsequently, the turnover ratio progressively improved, indicating enhanced utilization of fixed assets to generate sales. The highest ratios occurred in late 2022 and early 2023, suggesting increased efficiency relative to the asset base during these quarters.

The revenue figures display significant variability over the observed periods. Initially, revenue fluctuates moderately around the 2,000 to 2,100 million USD range through early 2019, followed by a marked increase reaching above 3,300 million USD by the end of 2019. This peak is succeeded by a slight decline and stabilization around 3,000 to 3,300 million USD through 2020. Subsequently, the revenue rises steadily through 2021 and early 2022, achieving levels close to or exceeding 3,700 million USD, before experiencing a minor downturn in the first quarter of 2023.

Total assets reveal a striking surge between the first half of 2019 and the end of 2019, where the asset base increases dramatically from approximately 24,000 million USD to over 83,000 million USD. This level remains relatively stable through 2020 and 2021, before gradually declining starting in early 2022 and continuing through to the first quarter of 2023, where assets fall back to just above 61,000 million USD.

The total asset turnover ratio shows a different pattern with data available only from late 2018 onwards. It begins at 0.35 and decreases sharply through 2019 and early 2020, reaching a low around 0.11 to 0.12. Following this period, a gradual improvement is observed, with the ratio increasing steadily from a low of approximately 0.14 in mid-2020 to around 0.24 by the first quarter of 2023. Despite this improvement, the turnover remains significantly below the initial 2018 level.

Revenue Trend

The quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in revenue, stockholders’ equity, and equity turnover over the observed periods.

Revenue

Revenue shows a generally increasing trend with some fluctuations. Initial quarters in 2018 saw revenue in the range of approximately 2,060 to 2,160 million USD, with a slight dip in early 2019. A significant increase occurs in the second half of 2019, peaking in the fourth quarter at 3,342 million USD. This elevated revenue level is largely maintained through 2020 and 2021, fluctuating between roughly 2,962 and 3,672 million USD. In 2022, revenue remains strong but exhibits some variability between approximately 3,492 and 3,719 million USD, followed by a slight decrease to 3,510 million USD in the first quarter of 2023.

Total FIS stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity presents a distinctive pattern. For most of 2018 and early 2019, equity values are steady near 10,000 million USD. However, a pronounced jump occurs in the third quarter of 2019, with equity surging to over 49,000 million USD, sustaining this elevated range through 2021. From early 2022 onward, equity steadily declines, falling below 28,000 million USD by the first quarter of 2023. This significant change suggests a major financial event or reclassification took place around mid-2019, followed by a downward adjustment in subsequent periods.

Equity turnover

Equity turnover data becomes available beginning in the first quarter of 2019, showing low values initially (below 0.3), with a marked increase starting in mid-2022. Earlier in the timeframe, turnover ratios hover between 0.19 and 0.32, reflective of relatively low efficiency in generating revenue from equity. By the start of 2023, turnover rises sharply to around 0.53-0.54, indicating enhanced utilization of equity to generate revenue. This improvement corresponds temporally to the reduction in total stockholders’ equity noted in the same periods, suggesting a relationship between equity base contraction and improved turnover efficiency.

Overall, the data indicates a period of significant equity change in late 2019, followed by sustained high revenue performance. More recently, the company has experienced a reduction in equity paired with improved equity turnover, implying a strategic shift toward more efficient equity usage. Meanwhile, revenue remains relatively stable at elevated levels after the notable growth in 2019.
