However, there was a decline in 2022 to $748 million, indicating some operational challenges or increased costs. The segment rebounded significantly in 2023, rising to $1,050 million, which represents the highest operating earnings in the five-year span.
- Net Sales
- Net sales consistently increased year-over-year, starting from $2,558 million in 2019 and reaching $3,736 million in 2023. The growth shows a steady expansion of the revenue base, with no periods of decline, suggesting strong market demand and/or successful sales initiatives. The sales growth rate slightly accelerated from 2021 onwards.
- Segment Profit Margin
- Profit margin trends exhibit variability. Initially, the margin rose from 22.95% in 2019 to 26.15% in 2020, followed by a peak of 28.9% in 2021, which corresponds to the peak in operating earnings before the dip. In 2022, margin contracted sharply to 22.1%, reflecting the decrease in operating earnings despite higher sales. The margin recovered impressively in 2023 to 28.1%, close to the peak margin level in 2021. This suggests improved cost efficiency or favorable pricing strategies after the downturn.
Overall, the segment demonstrates growth in both revenues and profitability over time, with a notable dip in earnings and margin performance in 2022 before a strong recovery in 2023. The data suggests resilience and effective management responses to adverse conditions experienced in the penultimate year.

1 2023 Calculation
Segment capital expenditures to depreciation = Capital expenditures ÷ Depreciation expense
= ÷ =
- Capital Expenditures
- Over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023, capital expenditures exhibited fluctuations. Starting at 98 million US dollars in 2019, the amount declined to 91 million in 2020 and then slightly decreased to 90 million in 2021. A notable dip occurred in 2022, with capital expenditures dropping to 77 million, followed by a significant recovery to 97 million in 2023. This pattern indicates variability in investment levels, with a pronounced reduction in 2022 before rebounding to near the initial amount by 2023.
- Depreciation Expense
- Depreciation expense increased from 82 million US dollars in 2019 to a peak of 90 million in 2020, reflecting an upward trend in asset amortization during this period. Subsequently, depreciation decreased to 87 million in 2021 and further to 79 million in 2022. In 2023, there was an uptick to 83 million. The overall pattern suggests a rise in asset aging or additions up to 2020, followed by a gradual decline and a modest recovery in the last year observed.
- Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio
- The ratio of capital expenditures to depreciation serves as an indicator of reinvestment relative to asset wear. In 2019, the ratio was 1.2, indicating investment levels exceeding depreciation. It declined sharply to 1.01 in 2020 and remained close to parity through 2021 at 1.03. In 2022, the ratio fell below unity to 0.97, implying that capital expenditures were slightly less than depreciation, which may signal reduced reinvestment relative to asset consumption. However, in 2023, the ratio rose again to 1.17, returning to a level above one, suggestive of intensified investment activity relative to asset depreciation.
- Summary
- The data reflects a period of variable capital expenditure and depreciation activities within the segment. The year 2022 stands out as an anomaly with the lowest capital expenditures and depreciation expense, coupled with a ratio below one, potentially indicating constrained investment relative to asset consumption. The recovery seen in 2023 points to renewed investment efforts. This cyclical pattern may be driven by strategic asset management decisions or external economic factors impacting capital allocation and asset usage within the segment.
