Revenue performance exhibits a cyclical pattern over the observed period. Net sales peaked in the first quarter of 2022 at 11,895 million US dollars before entering a period of contraction that bottomed out in the first quarter of 2023 at 9,747 million US dollars. A sustained recovery followed, with sales trending upward to reach a period high of 12,593 million US dollars by June 30, 2026.

Gross Profitability and Margin Trends
Gross profit generally tracks with net sales, although margins have fluctuated. The gross profit margin remained relatively resilient, though a notable compression occurred between late 2022 and early 2023. By the second quarter of 2026, gross profit reached 6,610 million US dollars, indicating an improved ability to manage direct product costs relative to the sales recovery.
Operating Expense Analysis
Research and development expenses remained remarkably stable for several years, typically fluctuating between 650 million and 760 million US dollars, before increasing to 892 million US dollars in June 2026. Selling, general, and administrative expenses showed a more pronounced upward trajectory in the most recent periods. After remaining steady near 2.7 billion to 3.1 billion US dollars for several years, these expenses surged to 3.74 billion US dollars in March 2026 and 4.025 billion US dollars in June 2026, significantly impacting operating earnings.
Operating and Net Earnings Volatility
Operating earnings peaked in early 2022 at 2,912 million US dollars, followed by a decline that reached a low of 1,304 million US dollars in December 2022. While earnings recovered through 2024 and 2025, the sharp increase in operating expenses in early 2026 led to a contraction in operating earnings, which fell to 1,693 million US dollars by June 2026.
Non-Operating Items and Tax Anomalies
A significant anomaly is observed in the fourth quarter of 2024, where net earnings spiked to 9,229 million US dollars. This was driven by a positive tax entry of 7,199 million US dollars, suggesting a one-time tax benefit or accounting adjustment rather than operational growth. Interest expenses remained stable around 130-160 million US dollars for most of the period but saw a sharp increase to 351 million US dollars in June 2026.
Net Income Trajectory
Excluding the atypical tax event of late 2024, net earnings show a pattern of volatility. After a period of growth peaking in early 2022, net earnings declined through 2023. While there was a recovery in 2025, the trend reversed in the first half of 2026, with net earnings dropping to 928 million US dollars in June 2026, primarily due to the simultaneous rise in SG&A and interest expenses.
