Net Income Attributable to Stockholders
The net income showed notable fluctuations over the analyzed periods. It started at 7,097 million USD in 2013, then declined significantly to 4,514 million USD in 2014. In 2015, there was a strong rebound with net income increasing to 8,306 million USD, marking the highest value in the timeframe. Afterward, net income dropped sharply to 2,755 million USD in 2016 and remained relatively low in 2017, with a slight increase to 2,952 million USD. In 2018, net income rose again to 4,464 million USD, indicating partial recovery but still below the earlier peak.
Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
The net operating profit after taxes demonstrated a pattern similar to net income but with somewhat less pronounced variation. Starting at 7,896 million USD in 2013, it decreased substantially to 4,517 million USD in 2014. NOPAT peaked at 9,417 million USD in 2015, exceeding the initial period's value. Following this peak, it declined sharply to 4,025 million USD in 2016. The next two years showed moderate growth, with NOPAT increasing to 4,273 million USD in 2017 and 4,669 million USD in 2018.
Overall Trend Analysis
Both net income and NOPAT experienced significant volatility throughout the six years. The years 2014 and 2016 are characterized by marked downturns in profitability metrics. The year 2015 stands out as a peak period for both measures, reflecting a temporary strong financial performance. After 2016, there is evidence of gradual operational improvement through 2018, though neither net income nor NOPAT returned to their earlier peak levels by the end of the period. The data suggests a cycle of recovery following considerable profit contractions, warranting further examination of underlying causes during downturn years.

Provision for income taxes from continuing operations
The provision for income taxes generally declined from 2013 to 2016, starting at 1,690 million US dollars in 2013 and decreasing steadily to 1,130 million in 2016. In 2017, there was a notable increase to 1,419 million, followed by a significant drop to a negative figure of -364 million in 2018, which may indicate a tax benefit or a reversal of previous tax provisions.
Cash operating taxes
Cash operating taxes fluctuated over the period. Beginning at 1,612 million US dollars in 2013, the figure increased to 1,707 million in 2014, then decreased to 1,504 million in 2015. A more marked decline occurred in 2016 with taxes dropping to 1,095 million. Subsequently, there was a sharp rise to 1,781 million in 2017 before falling significantly to 904 million in 2018. The fluctuations suggest variability in cash tax payments potentially linked to changing profitability or tax planning strategies.
