Operating Profit (Loss)
The operating profit displayed an overall increasing trend from 2005 through 2012, rising from approximately 792 million USD to its peak around 1.57 billion USD. After reaching this high point in 2012 and 2013, it remained relatively stable but began declining steadily thereafter. By 2018, the operating profit had decreased significantly and turned into operating losses starting in 2019, reaching a low point in 2020 at about -700 million USD. Losses persisted through 2022, albeit with a slight improvement compared to 2020.
Net Sales
Net sales showed steady growth from 2005, beginning at roughly 5.15 billion USD and peaking in the mid-2010s around 12.35 billion USD. This growth was consistent year-over-year until 2018. Starting in 2019, net sales began to decline sharply, dropping to approximately 7.87 billion USD by 2022. This reduction in sales coincided with the onset of operating losses, indicating potential challenges in revenue generation during the later years.
Operating Profit Margin
The operating profit margin gradually decreased from 15.39% in 2005 to 6.16% in 2018, demonstrating a steady erosion of profitability relative to sales over the years. Starting in 2019, the margin turned negative, reflecting the operating losses experienced, with margins declining to as low as -6.27% in 2020. Although there was a minor recovery afterwards, the margin remained below zero through 2022, highlighting ongoing profitability challenges.
Overall Trends and Insights
The data reveal a company that experienced consistent sales growth and strong profitability through the early to mid-2010s. However, from 2018 onward, both revenue and profits contracted significantly. The simultaneous decline in net sales and operating profit margin suggests external or internal factors adversely impacting operational efficiency and sales performance. The persistent negative operating margins since 2019 imply structural difficulties in returning to profitability. These trends emphasize a key period of financial distress requiring strategic review.
