1 US$ in millions
The financial data over the examined period reveals several notable trends in profitability and revenue generation.
- Net Income (Loss)
- The net income demonstrates significant fluctuations. Starting at 1,082 million USD, it increased gradually to peak values such as 3,229 million USD in 2011 and a record high of 7,266 million USD in 2016. However, the period also experienced notable declines, including a substantial loss of 1,016 million USD in 2017. The data shows recovery afterward with positive figures in 2018 reaching 2,530 million USD. These oscillations indicate a volatile earnings performance over the years.
- Net Revenues
- Net revenues display a generally upward trend across the entire timeframe. Beginning at 4,552 million USD in 2005, revenues steadily increased most years, reaching 17,902 million USD in 2014. An anomaly appears in 2015 and 2016 where revenues drop significantly to 8,592 and 8,979 million USD respectively, before resuming an upward path to 10,746 million USD by 2018. This irregular dip suggests either a change in business operations, divestitures, or adjustments in financial reporting during those years.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin exhibits considerable variability. It started strong at 23.77% in 2005, dipped to as low as 0.26% in 2014, then surged dramatically to an unusually high 80.92% in 2016. A subsequent sharp decline occurred in 2017 with a negative margin of -10.62%, followed by recovery to 23.54% in 2018. The extraordinary spike in 2016 margin contrasts with the more stable margins in other years and corresponds with the peak net income, suggesting an exceptional event affecting profitability that year.
In summary, the data reflects a dynamic financial performance with strong revenue growth trends interrupted by periods of significant volatility in income and profitability. Sharp variations, particularly in 2014-2017, may indicate extraordinary circumstances or changes in the company's operational or financial structure that influenced both revenues and margins distinctly from other years.
