The operating profit margin exhibited a generally positive trend for the initial period analyzed, followed by fluctuations and a subsequent recovery. From 2005 to 2010, the margin demonstrated consistent growth, indicating increasing profitability relative to revenue. However, this upward trajectory was interrupted in 2013 and 2020, with notable declines in the operating profit margin.

Initial Growth (2005-2010)
The operating profit margin increased from 30.25% in 2005 to 39.29% in 2010. This suggests effective cost management or pricing strategies during this period, allowing the company to convert a larger portion of revenue into operating profit. The rate of increase was particularly strong between 2009 and 2010.
Mid-Period Volatility (2011-2015)
Following 2010, the operating profit margin experienced some volatility. It peaked at 40.30% in 2012 before declining to 25.56% in 2014. While a recovery was observed in 2015 to 31.04%, this period indicates potential challenges in maintaining consistent profitability. The decrease in 2014 warrants further investigation into potential factors such as increased operating expenses or pricing pressures.
Recent Trends (2016-2025)
From 2016 to 2019, the operating profit margin remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 32.21% and 34.95%. A significant drop occurred in 2020, with the margin falling to 24.09%, potentially influenced by external factors such as the global pandemic. However, the margin rebounded strongly in 2021, reaching 31.89%, and continued to increase, reaching 29.27% in 2025. This recent recovery suggests successful adaptation to changing market conditions and effective cost control measures. The margin in 2025 is higher than in 2019, indicating a return to pre-pandemic profitability levels.

Overall, the operating profit margin demonstrates a long-term tendency towards improvement, despite experiencing periods of fluctuation. The most recent data indicates a positive trend, with the margin reaching a high point in the analyzed period. Continued monitoring of this metric will be crucial to assess the sustainability of this performance.
