The financial performance over the analyzed period reveals notable fluctuations and trends in net income, sales, and net profit margin for the company.

Net Income
Net income showed an overall upward trend with significant variability. Starting at approximately 712 million US$ in 2005, it peaked near 1.04 billion US$ in 2007, followed by a decline through 2009, hitting around 631 million US$. Subsequently, the net income rebounded strongly, reaching over 1.22 billion US$ in 2011. Thereafter, a slight decline occurred in 2012 and 2013, stabilizing near 994 to 1.27 billion US$ until 2015. A noteworthy decline was observed in 2016 to 631 million US$, followed by an exceptional increase to 3 billion US$ in 2017. From 2018 onwards, net income remained elevated above 1.4 billion US$, reaching approximately 1.9 billion US$ by 2020.
Sales
Sales exhibited less volatility than net income but experienced some decline over the period. Sales increased steadily from about 8.14 billion US$ in 2005 to over 10 billion US$ by 2007 and 2011. From 2011 onward, sales generally decreased, dropping below 9 billion US$ by 2017 and remaining close to that level through 2020. The peak sales years clustered around 2011 to 2014, with a gradual contraction thereafter.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin displayed marked fluctuations, reflecting changes in profitability efficiency. Initially, margins hovered around 8-10% from 2005 to 2008, with a decline to 7.65% in 2009. A strong increase occurred in 2010 and 2011, exceeding 12%. Following a decline to 6.63% in 2016, the margin surged dramatically in 2017 to an exceptional 36.65%, likely influenced by the spike in net income relative to sales. Margins stabilized at a relatively high level thereafter, remaining in the range of 16.77% to 21.3% through 2020, indicating improved profitability despite lower sales volumes.

Overall, the data indicates that while sales growth was limited and slightly declining in the later years, profitability notably improved, especially from 2017 onward. The considerable volatility in net income and profit margin suggests episodic gains or extraordinary items in some years. The company managed to enhance profit efficiency significantly amidst less robust sales performance in the most recent years analyzed.
