An analysis of the economic value added from 2019 to 2023 reveals a period of significant volatility in value creation, characterized by fluctuating operational profitability and a substantial increase in the capital base.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT) Trends
- Operational profitability experienced a sharp decline in 2020, falling from 348,876 thousand US$ to 182,624 thousand US$. A recovery phase followed, peaking in 2022 at 444,863 thousand US$ before retreating to 389,641 thousand US$ in 2023. This volatility indicates sensitivity to external operational factors during the five-year period.
- Invested Capital and Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital remained virtually constant at approximately 25.11% throughout the period. Conversely, invested capital showed a consistent upward trajectory after 2020. From a low of 555,694 thousand US$ in 2020, the capital base expanded to 1,117,290 thousand US$ by 2023, representing a significant increase in the resources deployed to generate returns.
- Economic Profit Dynamics
- Economic profit exhibited extreme fluctuations, closely mirroring NOPAT movements but amplified by the expanding capital base. Value creation peaked in 2022 at 233,755 thousand US$. However, 2023 witnessed a sharp contraction in economic profit to 109,074 thousand US$. This decline is attributed to a dual impact: a reduction in NOPAT coupled with a substantial increase in invested capital, which raised the total capital charge and compressed the surplus value generated above the cost of capital.
The divergence observed in 2023 suggests that the recent expansion of invested capital has not yet yielded a proportional increase in operating profit, leading to a reduction in the overall economic profit compared to the 2022 peak.

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.
Cash Operating Taxes
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31).
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.

2 Elimination of deferred taxes from assets and liabilities. See details »
3 Addition of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
4 Addition of unearned revenue.
5 Addition of equity equivalents to total equity.
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 financial performance regarding economic value creation between 2019 and 2023 is characterized by significant volatility in profitability and a consistent expansion of the invested capital base. While the entity remained economically profitable throughout the period, the efficiency of capital utilization fluctuated sharply.
- Economic Profit Trends
- Economic profit exhibited high variance over the five-year period. After a strong start in 2019 at 204.5 million USD, a substantial decline occurred in 2020, with profit falling to 43.1 million USD. A recovery phase followed, culminating in a peak of 233.8 million USD in 2022, before contracting again to 109.1 million USD by the end of 2023.
- Invested Capital Growth
- Invested capital demonstrated a steady and accelerating upward trend. After a marginal decrease in 2020 to 555.7 million USD, the capital base expanded consistently, reaching 1.12 billion USD in 2023. This represents a nearly 94% increase in total invested capital from the 2019 baseline of 575.2 million USD.
- Economic Spread Ratio Analysis
- The economic spread ratio, which measures the efficiency of value creation relative to invested capital, mirrored the volatility of economic profit while being pressured by the growing capital base. The ratio plummeted from 35.55% in 2019 to 7.76% in 2020. Although it recovered strongly to 27.80% in 2022, it dropped precipitously to 9.76% in 2023. This suggests that the growth in invested capital in the final year was not matched by a proportional increase in economic profit, leading to a degradation in the spread.

The financial performance from 2019 to 2023 is characterized by significant volatility in both absolute economic value creation and efficiency margins. A sharp contraction occurred in 2020, followed by a strong recovery that peaked in 2022, before experiencing another decline in 2023.
- Economic Profit Trends
- Economic profit exhibited substantial fluctuations, starting at 204,501 thousand USD in 2019 and dropping precipitously to 43,101 thousand USD in 2020. A recovery phase followed, with values rising to 87,535 thousand USD in 2021 and reaching a five-year peak of 233,755 thousand USD in 2022. However, this growth was not sustained, as economic profit fell to 109,074 thousand USD by the end of 2023.
- Adjusted Revenue Correlation
- Adjusted revenues followed a similar trajectory to economic profit, decreasing from 494,508 thousand USD in 2019 to 311,341 thousand USD in 2020. Revenues subsequently grew for two consecutive years, peaking at 669,360 thousand USD in 2022. In 2023, revenues remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease to 636,735 thousand USD, indicating that the sharp drop in economic profit during that year was not primarily driven by a collapse in top-line revenue.
- Economic Profit Margin Analysis
- The economic profit margin shows high sensitivity to operational and capital changes. After a high of 41.35% in 2019, the margin compressed to 13.84% in 2020. While the margin expanded significantly to 34.92% in 2022, it contracted sharply to 17.13% in 2023. The divergence between the relatively stable revenue and the falling margin in 2023 suggests an increase in the cost of capital or a decrease in operating efficiency during the final period analyzed.
