1 US$ in millions


Net Income (Loss)
The net income exhibits considerable volatility throughout the observed period. Starting from 198 million USD in 2005, it increased steadily to a peak of 1,617 million USD in 2014, with some fluctuations in between. Notably, data indicate sharp declines at several points, including a significant loss of 754 million USD in 2019 and subsequently reaching a low of -1,706 million USD by 2023. This pattern reveals periods of strong profitability interspersed with marked losses, suggesting fluctuating operational or market conditions affecting earnings.
Revenue, Net
Revenue demonstrated an overall upward trajectory with some variability. Beginning at 3,639 million USD in 2005, revenue increased substantially and reached its highest point of 20,647 million USD in 2018. However, there is a slight decline afterward, with revenue decreasing to 12,318 million USD by 2023. This indicates that while the company experienced significant growth over most of the period, recent years show a downward trend, perhaps signaling market saturation, increased competition, or other challenges impacting sales.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin shows considerable fluctuations, reflecting the company's variable profitability relative to revenue. Starting at 5.45% in 2005, the margin improved and reached a peak of 14.03% in 2010. Following this peak, the margin presents a generally declining trend with intermittent recoveries. Notably, the margin fell to negative values in 2019 and 2020 (-4.55% and -1.49% respectively) and again declined sharply to -13.85% by 2023. This suggests that despite periods of high profitability, there has been increasing pressure on profit margins due to rising costs, pricing pressures, or other adverse factors affecting the bottom line.
