The financial data displays notable fluctuations and trends in key operating metrics over the examined periods.

Operating Income

Operating income exhibited an overall upward trajectory with intermittent volatility. It started at approximately 516 million US dollars, peaking at over 3.27 billion in the fiscal year ending in 2022 before retracting significantly to about 2.03 billion by 2024. Initial growth was steady until a sharp decline was observed in 2009, followed by a robust recovery culminating in the highest points during the early 2020s. The recent decrease post-2022 suggests possible challenges or shifts in operational efficiency or market conditions.

Revenue

Revenue followed a generally positive growth pattern, beginning around 2.39 billion US dollars in 2005 and expanding substantially to reach over 12 billion by 2023. This expansion was consistent despite some years of stagnation or minor decline (notably around 2009 and 2019-2020). The peak revenue year was 2023, after which a decline was recorded in 2024. This suggests a mature revenue base with potential cyclical or external pressures influencing the latest period.

Operating Profit Margin

The operating profit margin demonstrated notable variability, ranging from roughly 14.1% at the low point in 2009 to a peak of approximately 35.8% in 2011. Margin percentages tended to recover strongly after downturns, maintaining an average band mostly between 20% and 30% through the series. The margin dropped significantly in 2009 during a period of decreased operating income but then rebounded sharply in the following years. Although margins declined slightly after plateauing around 30% in 2018, a notable peak was observed again in 2023 at over 31%, followed by a dip to approximately 21.6% in 2024.

Overall, the data highlights periods of robust growth in both operating income and revenue, accompanied by variations in profitability margins that reflect changes in operating costs, efficiency, or pricing power. The decline in both operating income and margin in the most recent year may indicate emerging risks or restructuring impacts requiring further investigation.
