In December 2020, the company reported an operating ROA of 20.84%, indicating that for each dollar of assets, the company generated a profit of 20.84 cents from its operations.

The operating ROA increased significantly to 35.18% by December 2021, suggesting improved efficiency in asset utilization and operational performance.

It is important for the company to assess the reasons behind this decline and implement strategies to enhance operational efficiency and profitability to ensure sustainable growth in the future.
