The financial data reveals several key trends in the company's profitability and revenue performance over the examined periods.

Net Income (Loss)
The net income shows notable fluctuations over the years. Starting at $5,741 million in 2005, it experienced a general upward trend with some variance, reaching a peak of $12,613 million in 2023. However, the year 2018 presents an unusual sharp decline to $110 million, which significantly deviates from prior and subsequent years. After this dip, net income quickly rebounded, maintaining values above $10 billion in most of the following years, though it decreased slightly in 2024 to $10,320 million.
Revenue
Revenue generally exhibits a steady growth trajectory from $24,801 million in 2005 to a peak of $56,998 million in 2023. There are slight decreases observed in 2009, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2020, indicating some volatility or cyclical factors affecting sales. Despite these dips, the overall progression is upward, reflecting expanding business activities or market penetration during the period.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin fluctuates in a narrower bandwidth compared to absolute net income and revenue. It mostly ranges between approximately 15% and 23%, suggesting relative consistency in profitability efficiency. Notably, 2018 again stands out with a drastic drop to 0.22%, correlating with the sharp decline in net income for that year. Following this, margins recovered strongly and stabilized around the low 20% range, except for a slight decline to 19.18% recorded in 2024.

In summary, the company experienced strong revenue growth and variable net income with generally stable profitability margins, except for the significant anomaly in 2018, which warrants further investigation. The recovery in subsequent years signals resilience, though the slight margin contraction in 2024 suggests potential emerging challenges to profitability that may require attention.
