1 US$ in millions
The financial data from the given period shows a significant transformation in the company's profitability profile and revenue growth. Over the years, revenues have demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from approximately 7.1 billion US dollars in 2010 to over 55 billion US dollars by 2024. This represents a substantial expansion in the company's scale and market presence.
- Net income attributable to shareholders
- The net income figures reveal a marked shift from consecutive annual losses in the early part of the decade to strong profitability in later years. From negative net income values ranging between -237 million and -369 million US dollars during 2010 through 2015, the company reported a dramatic turnaround starting in 2016, with net income rising to 3.5 billion US dollars. This positive trend continued with peaks nearing 9.9 billion US dollars in 2017, followed by slight fluctuations but overall maintaining high profit levels, with net income exceeding 5 billion US dollars in the most recent year reported, 2024.
- Net profit margin
- The net profit margin percentage mirrors the trend observed in net income, moving from negative margins, indicative of losses, to positive and increasing profitability margins. Initially, the margin was negative, peaking at -5.12% in 2011 and remaining negative through 2015. Beginning in 2016, the margin improved dramatically to 12.14% and further expanded to a peak of 23.8% in 2017. After this peak, although there was a decline, the margin stabilized at healthy levels between roughly 8% and 9.4% through to 2024, demonstrating sustained profitability relative to revenue.
- Overall trends and insights
- The data suggests a period of restructuring or significant operational changes around 2015-2016 that led to a return to profitability and robust revenue growth. The sharp rise in both net income and profit margin at this time aligns with the substantial increase in revenues, indicating effective scaling of the company's operations or successful integration of new business segments. While the net profit margin peaked sharply in 2017 and then moderated, the sustained positive profitability ratios indicate the company has maintained a strong financial position post-turnaround.
