1 US$ in millions
- Net Earnings Attributable to Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.
- The net earnings exhibit a generally increasing trend from 2005 to 2019, starting at 1,560 million USD and reaching a peak of 5,024 million USD in 2018. Notable fluctuations occurred during this period; for example, earnings declined from 2,714 million USD in 2011 to 2,127 million USD in 2012, followed by a subsequent recovery. After the peak in 2018, a decline to 3,982 million USD was observed in 2019.
- Sales
- Sales show a consistent upward trajectory over the 15-year period, rising from 42,202 million USD in 2005 to 136,866 million USD in 2019. This represents more than a threefold increase, indicating substantial growth in revenue generation. The pace of growth appears stable, with no significant year-to-year decreases.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin fluctuates within a relatively narrow range, starting at 3.7% in 2005 and ending at 2.91% in 2019. It peaked at 4.08% in 2014 and displayed several cycles of increases and decreases throughout the years. Notably, the margin dipped below 3% multiple times, with a minimum of 2.53% in 2014, suggesting some volatility in profitability relative to sales despite overall earnings growth.
- Summary of Trends
- Over the period analyzed, the company experienced steady and significant sales growth, which outpaced fluctuations in net earnings. Although net earnings increased substantially over the period, they showed volatility with intermittent declines. The net profit margin maintained a fluctuating but relatively modest rate, indicating that profitability as a percentage of sales was subject to pressure despite increasing total revenues. This pattern suggests expanding sales volumes may have been partly offset by factors affecting cost efficiency or operating expenses.
