The financial data reveal notable fluctuations and trends in key performance indicators over the periods analyzed. Net income exhibits a general upward trend with some volatility, starting at approximately 114.9 million US dollars in 2005 and varying year by year before reaching a significant peak of about 2.69 billion US dollars in 2022. This suggests overall growth in profitability, especially marked in the final year of the series.

Net sales demonstrate a similar pattern with increases and decreases throughout the period. After beginning at roughly 2.11 billion US dollars in 2005, sales experienced growth with occasional contractions, culminating in a substantial rise to over 7.32 billion US dollars by 2022. This strong increase in sales volume in the later years may indicate expansion or increased market demand.

The net profit margin displays considerable variability, reflecting shifts in the company's operational efficiency and cost management over time. Margins started at 5.45% in 2005, reaching a high of 24.04% in 2016, then experienced declines and increases again, ending at a peak of 36.75% in 2022. This considerable improvement in profit margin in the final year suggests enhanced profitability relative to sales, which could be attributed to improved cost controls, pricing strategies, or product mix changes.
