1 US$ in millions
The net profit margin for the period between 2005 and 2018 is characterized by significant volatility, featuring a cycle of growth, a severe contraction, and subsequent erratic peaks. While revenues remained relatively stable, fluctuating between a low of 23,859 million US$ and a high of 33,706 million US$, net income experienced dramatic swings that directly impacted the efficiency of profit generation relative to total sales.
- Initial Growth and the 2009 Contraction
- Between 2005 and 2008, a consistent upward trend in profitability was observed, with the net profit margin increasing from 8.92% to 16.33%. This trend was abruptly reversed in 2009, when the company recorded a net loss of 3,378 million US$, resulting in a negative net profit margin of -11.10%.
- Recovery and Margin Instability (2010-2012)
- Profitability returned to positive territory in 2010 at 7.75%, but the subsequent two years showed instability. Despite revenues peaking at 33,706 million US$ in 2012, the net profit margin declined to 3.50%, indicating a period where revenue growth did not translate into bottom-line efficiency.
- Peak Profitability Phase (2013-2015)
- A period of exceptional margin expansion occurred starting in 2013, with the net profit margin surging to 25.64%. This peaked in 2015 at 28.65%, the highest level in the analyzed period. This phase was driven by substantial increases in net income—reaching 8,306 million US$ in 2015—despite revenues being lower than their 2012 peaks.
- Recent Margin Correction and Stabilization (2016-2018)
- Following the 2015 peak, a sharp correction occurred, with margins dropping to 10.08% in 2016 and 10.36% in 2017. A recovery trend emerged in 2018, with the net profit margin rising to 14.68%, supported by an increase in net income to 4,464 million US$ on revenues of 30,400 million US$.
