Revenue Trends
Revenue exhibited fluctuations over the analyzed period. Starting at approximately $5.26 billion in 2005, it increased steadily until 2008, reaching a peak near $7.2 billion. Subsequent years showed a decline, dropping below $5 billion around 2011 and remained relatively stable around the $4.6 to $5.1 billion range until 2016.
Net Income (Loss) Patterns
Net income attributable to the company displayed significant volatility. Initial values were strong in 2005 at approximately $1.9 billion but sharply decreased in the following years to lows around $424 million by 2008. There was a recovery phase, notably in 2012 with nearly $3.95 billion and a peak in 2014 at over $7.5 billion. However, subsequent years saw dramatic downturns, with a net loss recorded in 2015 exceeding $4.3 billion and further negative results in 2016.
Net Profit Margin Analysis
The net profit margin mirrored the volatility of net income relative to revenue. The margin dropped from a high of 36.07% in 2005 to single-digit percentages during most of the mid-years, only to spike sharply to 79.12% in 2012 and an extraordinary 162.87% in 2014, suggesting potential accounting or one-time gain influences. The margin subsequently turned negative in 2015 and 2016, aligning with the net losses reported.
Overall Financial Insights
The data indicates periods of strong profitability and revenue growth up to 2008, followed by instability marked by declining revenues and volatile profit margins. Significant gains in 2012 and 2014 were offset by steep losses in later years, reflecting financial challenges or extraordinary events impacting earnings. The inconsistent trajectory of net profit margin underscores volatility in operational performance or unusual financial activities during the latter years.
