The period under review demonstrates fluctuating financial performance as measured by economic profit. Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) experienced significant volatility, while the cost of capital remained remarkably stable. Invested capital consistently increased throughout the period, though at varying rates. Consequently, economic profit exhibited a corresponding pattern of fluctuation.
- NOPAT Trend
- Net operating profit after taxes decreased substantially from 2019 to 2020, falling from US$348,876 thousand to US$182,624 thousand. A recovery was observed in 2021, with NOPAT reaching US$267,856 thousand, followed by a substantial increase to US$444,863 thousand in 2022. However, NOPAT declined again in 2023 to US$389,641 thousand, indicating a potential stabilization at a level below the 2022 peak.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital remained consistent at 25.38% from 2020 through 2023, with a slight difference of 25.37% in 2019. This stability suggests a consistent risk profile and financing structure over the analyzed timeframe.
- Invested Capital Trend
- Invested capital showed a general upward trend throughout the period. It decreased slightly from 2019 to 2020, moving from US$575,173 thousand to US$555,694 thousand. Subsequent years saw increases, reaching US$718,143 thousand in 2021, US$840,706 thousand in 2022, and a significant rise to US$1,117,290 thousand in 2023. The rate of increase accelerated in the later years of the period.
- Economic Profit Trend
- Economic profit mirrored the fluctuations in NOPAT, though moderated by the stable cost of capital and increasing invested capital. It began at US$202,965 thousand in 2019, then decreased dramatically to US$41,617 thousand in 2020. Economic profit recovered to US$85,616 thousand in 2021 and peaked at US$231,508 thousand in 2022. A decline was observed in 2023, with economic profit reported at US$106,088 thousand. While remaining positive throughout the period, the magnitude of economic profit varied considerably.
The increasing invested capital base, coupled with the fluctuating NOPAT, suggests a need for continued monitoring of capital allocation efficiency. The consistent cost of capital provides a stable benchmark against which to evaluate operational performance and the generation of economic profit.

The financial data reveals fluctuations in profitability figures over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. Both net income and net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) demonstrate notable variations that suggest changes in operational performance and earnings capacity.
- Net Income (US$ in thousands)
- Net income initially decreased substantially from 318,728 in 2019 to 176,049 in 2020, indicating a significant dip in profitability. However, this was followed by a recovery in 2021, where net income rose to 269,980. The upward trend continued more strongly in 2022, reaching a peak of 446,362. In 2023, net income slightly declined to 405,645 but remained well above the levels observed in 2019 through 2021, signifying overall growth in earnings over the period.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT) (US$ in thousands)
- NOPAT exhibited a similar trend to net income. It fell from 348,876 in 2019 to 182,624 in 2020, paralleling the decrease in net income and reflecting weaker operational profitability in that year. Subsequently, NOPAT rebounded to 267,856 in 2021 before surging to a high of 444,863 in 2022. In 2023, it decreased to 389,641, maintaining a level significantly above the early years of the data set. This pattern suggests that the operating efficiency and after-tax profitability improved notably after 2020, despite the slight decline in the most recent year.
In summary, the data highlight a pronounced downturn in 2020 followed by a strong recovery through 2022, with a modest decline in 2023. Both net income and NOPAT exhibit consistent directions, indicating that the changes in reported earnings are underpinned by changes in core operational performance rather than extraordinary items. The sustained improvement after 2020 suggests a positive shift in business conditions or management effectiveness that strengthened profitability during this period.

The data reveals significant fluctuations in both income tax expense and cash operating taxes over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023.
- Income Tax Expense
- There is a notable decrease in income tax expense from 83,527 thousand US dollars in 2019 to 43,613 thousand in 2020, reflecting nearly a 48% decline. This is followed by a sharp increase to 93,037 thousand in 2021, which exceeds the 2019 level. The upward trend continues with income tax expense rising to 122,493 thousand in 2022, marking the highest value in the five-year span. In 2023, there is a moderate decline to 111,916 thousand, although this still represents a substantially higher level compared to the earlier years under review.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes show a different pattern. Initially, there is a slight decrease from 57,519 thousand in 2019 to 46,023 thousand in 2020. Subsequently, there is a significant increase to 93,269 thousand in 2021, closely paralleling the rise in income tax expense that year. The upward trajectory continues with a peak of 119,954 thousand in 2022. In 2023, cash operating taxes decline to 104,525 thousand but remain substantially elevated compared to the first two years, indicating sustained higher tax-related cash outflows in recent years.
Overall, both income tax expense and cash operating taxes exhibit a considerable dip in 2020, potentially indicative of changes in profitability or tax strategies during that period. From 2021 onwards, there is a marked upward trend resulting in significantly higher tax expenses and cash taxes through 2022, followed by slight decreases in 2023. This dynamic suggests variability in taxable income levels or tax planning outcomes that impacted the company’s tax liabilities and cash payments over these years.

6 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
The financial data reveals significant trends in the company's capital structure and financing over the five-year period ending in 2023.
- Total reported debt & leases
- This metric shows a consistent decline from 2019 through 2023, decreasing from $3.367 million to $2.024 million. The decline is visible except for a slight increase in 2022 compared to 2021. Overall, the downward trend suggests the company has been reducing its reliance on debt and lease obligations over the observed period.
- Total equity
- Total equity experienced fluctuations initially, dropping from $512.1 million in 2019 to $485.2 million in 2020, but subsequently rose sharply. From 2020 onwards, equity increased markedly, reaching $1.043 billion by 2023. This upward trajectory indicates notable growth in the shareholders’ stake and possibly retained earnings or new equity infusions.
- Invested capital
- Invested capital follows a similar pattern to total equity but at a higher absolute level. It declined slightly from $575.2 million in 2019 to $555.7 million in 2020, then increased significantly in subsequent years, culminating in $1.117 billion in 2023. This increase signifies expanding investment in business assets funded through a combination of equity and debt, with the debt portion being relatively reduced.
In summary, the financial data points to a strategic reduction in debt exposure while equity and total invested capital have grown substantially. This may reflect a strengthening of the company’s financial position, with increased capitalization and potentially improved asset base, positioning it for future growth or stability.

The economic spread ratio exhibited considerable fluctuation between 2019 and 2023. Initial values were strong, followed by a period of decline, then recovery, and a subsequent decrease. Economic profit demonstrated a similar pattern of volatility, while invested capital generally increased throughout the period.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio began at 35.29% in 2019, indicating a substantial spread between return on invested capital and the cost of capital. A significant decrease was observed in 2020, with the ratio falling to 7.49%. The ratio partially recovered in 2021, reaching 11.92%, but experienced a substantial increase in 2022 to 27.54%. In 2023, the ratio declined again, settling at 9.50%. This suggests varying degrees of value creation efficiency over the five-year period.
- Economic Profit
- Economic profit peaked at US$202,965 thousand in 2019. It then decreased substantially to US$41,617 thousand in 2020. A recovery occurred in 2021, with economic profit rising to US$85,616 thousand. The largest value was recorded in 2022 at US$231,508 thousand, before decreasing to US$106,088 thousand in 2023. The fluctuations in economic profit align with the changes observed in the economic spread ratio.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital showed a general upward trend throughout the period. Starting at US$575,173 thousand in 2019, it decreased slightly to US$555,694 thousand in 2020. Subsequent years saw increases, reaching US$718,143 thousand in 2021, US$840,706 thousand in 2022, and US$1,117,290 thousand in 2023. This consistent growth in invested capital occurred alongside the fluctuating economic profit and economic spread ratio, potentially influencing the observed trends.
The combination of increasing invested capital and fluctuating economic profit resulted in the observed volatility in the economic spread ratio. The significant drop in the ratio in 2020, despite a relatively stable invested capital base, suggests a substantial decrease in the return generated from each dollar invested. The strong performance in 2022 indicates a period of efficient capital allocation, but the subsequent decline in 2023 warrants further investigation.

3 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The economic profit margin exhibited considerable fluctuation between 2019 and 2023. Initial values were strong, followed by a period of volatility, and then a moderation towards the end of the analyzed period.
- Economic Profit Margin Trend
- In 2019, the economic profit margin stood at 41.04%. This represents a substantial level of economic profit generation relative to adjusted revenues. A significant decline was observed in 2020, with the margin falling to 13.37%, coinciding with a decrease in both economic profit and adjusted revenues. The margin partially recovered in 2021, reaching 19.07%, as economic profit increased. A notable surge occurred in 2022, with the economic profit margin rising to 34.59%, driven by a substantial increase in adjusted revenues and a corresponding increase in economic profit. However, this increase was not sustained, as the margin decreased to 16.66% in 2023, despite a positive economic profit value. This decrease in 2023 occurred alongside a reduction in adjusted revenues.
The economic profit margin’s peak in 2022 suggests a period of particularly efficient operations and strong revenue generation. The subsequent decline in 2023, while still representing a positive margin, indicates a potential weakening in the company’s ability to translate revenues into economic profit. The substantial difference between the 2019 and 2020 margins highlights the sensitivity of this metric to changes in both profitability and revenue levels.
- Relationship to Economic Profit and Adjusted Revenues
- The economic profit margin’s movements are directly linked to the fluctuations in economic profit and adjusted revenues. The largest margin increase (2021 to 2022) corresponds with the largest absolute increase in economic profit and adjusted revenues. Conversely, the decline in margin from 2022 to 2023 is associated with a decrease in both economic profit and adjusted revenues. This confirms the margin’s role as a key indicator of the efficiency with which revenues are converted into economic profit.
Overall, the economic profit margin demonstrates a pattern of variability, influenced by both the company’s profitability and its revenue generation capabilities. Continued monitoring of these underlying factors is crucial for understanding future trends in the economic profit margin.
