1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals several notable trends over the analyzed period. Revenues demonstrated a general upward trajectory, increasing from $3,443 million in 2008 to $12,191 million by 2021. This indicates consistent growth, with occasional acceleration especially noticeable around the years 2017 to 2021, where revenues more than doubled compared to the initial years.
Net income (loss) exhibited greater volatility compared to revenues. While net income generally increased alongside revenues from 2008 through 2016, peaking at $1,194 million, a significant loss was recorded in 2017, with a net loss of $337 million. Following this loss, net income rebounded sharply to $2,069 million in 2019, showing strong recovery and profitability, though it then declined in the subsequent years to $1,006 million by 2021. This suggests fluctuating profitability that may relate to extraordinary expenses, restructuring costs, or changes in operating conditions during these years.
The net profit margin percentage mirrors the trends in net income, displaying fluctuations over the period. From a margin of 9.21% in 2008, profitability margins increased steadily to a high of 26.73% in 2011, reflecting efficient profit generation relative to revenues during that time. After 2011, profit margins trended downward, stabilizing mostly between 16% and 19% through 2016. The sharp decline to a negative margin of -4.9% in 2017 corresponds with the net loss reported that year. Recovery in net profit margin occurred in subsequent years, peaking again at 18.57% in 2019 before decreasing to 8.25% in 2021. This indicates variability in operational efficiency and profitability margins throughout the timeframe, with some years impacted by exceptional circumstances.
Overall, the data suggests that while the company experienced strong revenue growth consistently, net income and profit margins showed notable volatility, especially around 2017. Profitability recovered after the downturn but did not maintain previous peak levels towards the end of the period. These patterns highlight the importance of examining underlying factors affecting income fluctuations despite steady revenue increases.
