Starting at a negative ROA of -0.40% in December 2019, the company has improved its performance substantially, with ROA reaching 15.91% by December 2021. In the subsequent years, the ROA remained relatively high, at 13.21% in December 2022 and 14.11% in December 2023. However, there was a notable decline in ROA to 5.27% by December 2024.
