Subsequently, the return on total capital exhibited a downward trend, dropping to 21.87% by June 30, 2022.

The ratio continued to decrease gradually over the next few quarters, falling to 7,764.99% by December 31, 2024. Such a significant upswing in the return on total capital for that period may be attributed to anomalies in the financial data or calculation errors, as such an abnormally high ratio is not typical in regular business operations.

Investors and stakeholders should interpret these changes cautiously and consider the underlying factors driving the fluctuations in the ratio.
