Net Income Attributable to Baxter
The net income showed an overall increasing trend from 2005 to 2014, rising from $956 million to a peak of $2,497 million in 2014. However, there was a notable decline in 2010, where net income dropped to $1,420 million from $2,205 million the previous year. The figure rebounded sharply in subsequent years, reaching $2,326 million in 2012 and maintaining relatively high levels through 2014. In 2015, there was a significant decrease in net income to $968 million, which marks a considerable setback compared to prior years.
Net Sales
Net sales generally increased over the period observed, starting at $9,849 million in 2005 and growing steadily to a high of $16,671 million in 2014. This represents a consistent upward trend in the company's revenue base. In 2015, however, there was a marked decline to $9,968 million, which disrupts the previous pattern of growth and aligns with the decrease observed in net income.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin fluctuated throughout the period, exhibiting a general upward trend from 9.71% in 2005 to a peak of 17.55% in 2009. After 2009, the margin experienced a decline to 11.06% in 2010, coinciding with the drop in net income that year. The margin recovered in subsequent years, fluctuating between approximately 13% and 16%, before decreasing again in 2015 to the initial level of 9.71%. This margin trend indicates variability in profitability efficiency despite the growth in sales and income over most of the period.
General Observations
Over the majority of the period, the company showed robust growth in both net sales and net income, indicating expanding operations and improved profitability. The years 2010 and 2015 stand out as exceptions, with both years showing significant declines in profit and margin despite relatively strong sales only in 2010. The 2015 decline in sales alongside profit suggests possible external challenges or internal issues affecting the company's financial performance. The fluctuations in net profit margin imply variations in cost management or pricing strategies impacting overall profitability.
