Based on the provided data for NXP Semiconductors NV, the return on assets (ROA) has shown fluctuations over the specified time period. The ROA started at a relatively low level of 1.59% in March 2020, then dipped into negative territory in the following quarters, indicating potential inefficiencies in asset utilization.

However, the company's performance improved and turned positive, reaching 2.20% in March 2021. Subsequently, the ROA experienced a significant upward trend, increasing to 11.99% by December 2022.
