1 US$ in millions
- Operating Income (Loss)
- The operating income shows a consistent loss from 2013 through 2023, with values fluctuating significantly. The loss deepens from -$118 million in 2013 to a peak loss of -$502 million in 2020. However, starting in 2024, the trend reverses with positive operating income recorded at $183 million, increasing further to $415 million in 2025, indicating a notable improvement in operational profitability.
- Revenues
- Revenues demonstrate a steady and robust growth trend throughout the entire period. Beginning at $274 million in 2013, revenues consistently increase each year to reach $8,446 million by 2025. This reflects a strong expansion of business scale with compound annual growth.
- Operating Profit Margin
- The operating profit margin has been negative for most of the period, reflecting operating losses relative to revenue. Initially, the margin was sharply negative at -43.07% in 2013, improving gradually to less negative values, reaching a low point near -2.27% in 2022. The margin turns positive starting in 2024, illustrating improved control over costs relative to revenue, with margins rising to 4.91% by 2025.
- Summary of Trends
- The data reveals a company undergoing significant growth in revenue alongside operational challenges reflected in sustained operating losses for many years. Despite increased revenues, operating income remained negative until recent years, suggesting high costs or investments impacting profitability. The shift to positive operating income and profit margins in 2024 and 2025 indicates a turning point where revenue growth is increasingly translating into profitability. This trend highlights progress in operational efficiency and financial health after a prolonged period of expansion and investment.
