1 US$ in millions


Operating Income
The operating income demonstrated a generally positive trend over the observed periods, increasing from 1,550 million US dollars in 2005 to 6,023 million US dollars in 2022. There were fluctuations within this overall growth, including a notable dip in 2009 to 2,285 million US dollars, likely reflecting adverse economic conditions. Following that, the operating income showed steady recovery and growth, reaching its peak in 2022.
Revenue
Revenue exhibited an upward trajectory from 8,618 million US dollars in 2005 to 14,853 million US dollars in 2022. The data shows some volatility, particularly with a decline in 2009 to 9,041 million US dollars and another drop in 2014 to 11,811 million US dollars. Despite these intermittent decreases, the overall pattern indicates growth, with significant recovery and acceleration in the later years, particularly after 2015.
Operating Profit Margin
The operating profit margin consistently improved over the period, starting at 17.99% in 2005 and peaking at 44.67% in 2021 before a slight decrease to 40.55% in 2022. This upward trend demonstrates increasing efficiency or profitability relative to revenue. The margin saw steady increments with occasional sharper rises, notably between 2013 and 2019, where margins climbed from 28.88% to over 41%, indicating operational improvements or cost controls contributing to higher profit retention.
Overall Insights
The financial data indicates substantial growth in both operating income and revenue over the 17-year span, with resilience during economic downturns. The consistent rise in operating profit margin suggests enhanced operational efficiency or favorable changes in cost structure. Despite some years where revenue contracted, the company managed to increase profitability, as evidenced by the rising margin and operating income figures. This pattern reflects positively on the company’s management effectiveness and ability to adapt to varying market conditions.
