The analysis of the financial ratios over the indicated periods reveals several notable trends and fluctuations.
- Net fixed asset turnover
- This ratio experienced an initial decline from 7.83 to 6.38 over the first several quarters, reflecting a reduction in the efficiency of fixed asset usage. Subsequently, there was a pronounced increase peaking at 9.43, indicating improved asset utilization. This peak was followed by a gradual downward trend, stabilizing around 7.45–7.98 towards the latest quarters, suggesting a moderate decline in turnover efficiency compared to the peak yet still above the earlier trough.
- Net fixed asset turnover (including operating lease, right-of-use asset)
- The broader measure including right-of-use assets displayed a similar pattern but at lower absolute levels, consistent with the adjustment for leased assets. It started at 2.9, dipped to 2.29, then rose steadily to a peak of 3.47, before gradually leveling off in the 3.26–3.41 range. This progression indicates improving asset utilization when including lease assets, with a relative plateau in recent periods.
- Total asset turnover
- This ratio showed a more variable pattern. It decreased significantly from 1.73 to a low around 1.04, indicative of reduced overall asset efficiency, possibly due to operational challenges or asset growth outpacing revenue. Thereafter, a recovery phase is evident, with turnover improving to a range between 1.71 and 1.85, maintaining relative stability and suggesting a successful rebound in asset deployment to generate sales.
- Equity turnover
- Equity turnover exhibited notable volatility but generally trended upwards. After a decline from 7.01 to 5.51, it increased substantially to a peak of 9.2, signaling increased sales generation from shareholders’ equity. This peak diminished over time, with the ratio settling around 6.5 to 7.0 in later periods, possibly reflecting stabilization in equity efficiency or adjustments in capital structure.
Overall, the data reveal phases of contraction and recovery in asset and equity efficiency metrics. The initial downturns could be attributable to external disruptions or investment cycles, while the subsequent recoveries indicate adaptive operational improvements. Recent periods suggest a stabilization at moderately high efficiency levels, though slightly below peak performance.

The analysis of the financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in the company's operating and asset metrics over the reported periods.
- Net Sales
-
Net sales exhibited a general upward trend with some volatility across the quarters. Initial periods from May 2019 through February 2020 show a steady increase from approximately $9.3 billion to over $12.2 billion. This is followed by a sharp decrease to about $4.4 billion in May 2020, likely indicative of significant external challenges.
Subsequent quarters demonstrate a recovery trend with fluctuations; sales rebound to nearly $14 billion by January 2022. Following this peak, net sales fluctuate between roughly $11.4 billion and $16.4 billion, with another cyclical pattern of increases and decreases through August 2025. Overall, despite short-term dips, net sales show resilience and growth over the multi-year horizon.
- Net Property at Cost
-
The net property at cost has shown a gradual and consistent increase across all periods analyzed. Starting at approximately $5.0 billion in May 2019, the value rises steadily to about $7.8 billion by August 2025. This reflects ongoing investment in property assets, suggesting a focus on expanding or updating property holdings.
The rise is nearly linear without sudden drops, indicating stable asset management and capital expenditure efforts aligned with operational needs.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
-
The net fixed asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency of using fixed assets to generate sales, presents an initially high value of 7.83 and then decreases gradually to values in the 6.4–6.7 range during 2020, coinciding with the reduction in sales noted earlier.
Following this dip, the ratio improves substantially from late 2020 onwards, climbing to peak levels above 9.4 in early 2022, signaling enhanced asset utilization efficiency. After peaking, the ratio trends downward gradually, stabilizing around the 7.4 to 8.6 mark through 2023 and 2024. The downward trend in the later periods indicates a relative increase in fixed assets compared to sales or a moderation in sales growth pace in relation to asset base growth.
In summary, the financial data highlights a company experiencing substantial sales volatility, especially in 2020, with a strong recovery phase thereafter. The steadily increasing net property highlights strategic asset investments. The fluctuations in fixed asset turnover ratio suggest varying efficiency levels in asset utilization, with a peak in operational efficiency around early 2022 followed by slight moderation. These trends collectively paint a picture of resilient operational recovery balanced against ongoing capital investment activities.

- Net Sales
- The net sales exhibit notable fluctuations throughout the analyzed period. Initially, from May 2019 to February 2020, there is a steady increase from 9,278 million to 12,206 million US dollars. Following this period, a significant decline is observed in May 2020, dropping sharply to 4,409 million, likely reflecting extraordinary market conditions. Subsequently, net sales regain momentum, progressively rising again and reaching a peak of 16,411 million in February 2024. However, after this peak, a mild downward trend emerges, with sales decreasing to 14,401 million by August 2025. Overall, the sales demonstrate resilience with recovery phases after downturns and growth peaking in early 2024.
- Net Property at Cost (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- The net property at cost remains relatively stable with a gradual upward trend over the entire timeframe. Starting at 13,829 million in May 2019, the figure experiences minor fluctuations but generally increases, reaching 17,753 million by August 2025. This steady increase indicates ongoing investment or capital accumulation in property assets. There are no abrupt changes or reductions, which suggests a consistent asset base expansion or maintenance strategy.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- Data on net fixed asset turnover begins from February 2020, with an initial value of 2.9, followed by a decreasing trend reaching as low as 2.29 in January 2021. Post this dip, the ratio steadily improves, hitting a high of 3.47 in April 2022, indicating enhanced efficiency in generating sales from fixed assets. Thereafter, the ratio stabilizes, fluctuating slightly around the 3.2 to 3.4 range until August 2025. This pattern reflects initial inefficiency followed by operational improvements and sustained efficient use of fixed assets over the latter periods.

The quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends across net sales, total assets, and total asset turnover ratios over the periods analyzed.
- Net Sales
- Net sales exhibit a generally upward trajectory over the long term, despite the impact of a significant decline during the May 2020 quarter. This drop corresponds with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, where net sales sharply fell to 4,409 million USD from 12,206 million USD in the previous quarter. Following this trough, sales progressively recovered, reaching 16,411 million USD by February 2024. Subsequent quarters after this peak show some fluctuation but generally maintain elevated levels compared to pre-pandemic figures, suggesting strong recovery and growth.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibit a moderate increase over the time span with some fluctuations. Starting at 22,489 million USD in May 2019, total assets rose to a peak around 31,566 million USD by October 2020, indicating expansion possibly influenced by acquisition or capital investment activities during or post-pandemic onset. Following this peak, assets slightly declined and stabilized, fluctuating between approximately 27,000 and 32,000 million USD through the subsequent quarters. By August 2025, total assets modestly increased again to 32,885 million USD, reflecting continuous asset management and possible reinvestment strategies.
- Total Asset Turnover Ratio
- The total asset turnover ratio, available from February 2020 onward, shows an initial decline during the pandemic period, dropping from 1.73 to a low of 1.04 by January 2021, reflecting decreased operational efficiency or assets being less effectively used to generate sales during this challenging period. Subsequently, the turnover ratio improved steadily, reaching a high of 1.85 by July 2024, indicating enhanced utilization of assets to generate sales. This ratio stabilizes slightly around 1.74 to 1.82 towards the later periods, implying consistent operational efficiency at a higher level than the early pandemic phase.
In summary, the data suggests the company experienced a significant disruption in sales and asset utilization during the early pandemic, followed by a period of recovery and growth. Asset levels increased through investments or acquisitions while operational efficiency, as reflected by asset turnover ratio, improved post-pandemic to levels exceeding those pre-pandemic. Overall, the patterns indicate successful adaptation and resilience in the company’s financial performance over the observed periods.

The financial data reveals notable fluctuations and trends across net sales, shareholders’ equity, and equity turnover over the examined periods.
- Net Sales
- The net sales figures demonstrate significant variability with an overall increasing trajectory. Initially, there is steady growth from May 2019 through February 2020, followed by a sharp decline in May 2020, reflecting a substantial drop likely due to external challenges during that quarter. Post-May 2020, sales recover notably, experiencing several growth phases punctuated by intermittent decreases. The latter periods, especially from February 2024 onwards, show a pattern of rising sales peaking in certain quarters, but also reveal occasional declines suggesting a cyclical or seasonal influence. The net sales values overall suggest recovery and expansion following the earlier dip.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity exhibits a general upward trend with some variability. It starts at a moderately stable level, then shows a dip around mid-2020, coinciding with the downturn observed in net sales. Afterward, equity progressively increases with occasional minor declines, maintaining an overall positive incline. This suggests that the company has been gradually strengthening its capital base over time, notwithstanding some short-term pressures.
- Equity Turnover Ratio
- Equity turnover ratios are only available starting from the quarter ending November 2019. The ratio begins at a high level, reflecting efficient utilization of equity to generate sales, then experiences a downward adjustment until January 2021. Subsequently, the ratio increases sharply, reaching peaks around 2022, implying enhanced efficiency in using equity to produce sales. However, in the most recent periods, there is a gradual declining trend, indicating a possible reduction in operational efficiency or a strategic shift influencing asset utilization.
In summary, the data illustrates that the company navigated a significant sales downturn in early 2020, followed by recovery and growth in both sales and equity. Equity turnover indicates fluctuating efficiency, with notable improvement post-2020, but recent moderate declines worth monitoring. Overall, the financial metrics suggest resilience with opportunities to optimize equity use going forward.
