The financial data reveals notable trends in net earnings, revenue, and net profit margin over the observed periods.

Net Earnings
Net earnings generally show an upward trend with some fluctuations. From 2005 to 2011, net earnings steadily increased from 1,145 million US dollars to 1,822 million US dollars. The earnings continued to rise moderately until 2014, followed by a decline in 2016 to 1,714 million US dollars. A significant spike occurred in 2017, with net earnings surging to 5,471 million US dollars, more than tripling the previous year's figure. Afterwards, net earnings declined but remained at elevated levels, with moderate growth from 2020 to 2022, ending at 4,166 million US dollars.
Revenue
Revenue trends display moderate growth with periods of decline. Starting at 8,618 million US dollars in 2005, revenue increased to a peak of 12,669 million US dollars in 2014. Afterwards, a downward trend is observed with revenue decreasing to 11,069 million US dollars in 2016. Revenue rebounded gradually from 2017 onwards, with a strong increase from 12,522 million US dollars in 2021 to 14,853 million US dollars in 2022, the highest in the observed period.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin generally improved over the years, with some volatility. It ranged from approximately 12% to 16% between 2005 and 2016. An exceptional increase was noted in 2017, where the margin rose sharply to 47.96%, likely due to extraordinary items influencing net earnings disproportionately to revenue. After this peak, the profit margin declined but stabilized at higher levels than the early years, approximately between 26% and 30% from 2018 to 2022.

Overall, the data suggests that while revenue growth was moderate with some downturns, profitability metrics experienced substantial improvement, highlighted by a dramatic spike in net earnings and profit margin in 2017. This spike indicates an extraordinary event or accounting adjustment that significantly impacted net profitability independently of revenue trends. Subsequent periods show stabilization of profit margins at a higher level than the earlier years, alongside continued revenue growth, especially in the latest reported years.
