Net earnings exhibited a general upward trajectory over the six-year period, characterized by a brief contraction in 2018 followed by consistent annual growth. The most significant acceleration in profitability occurred between January 2021 and January 2022, where net earnings increased by approximately 36% to reach a peak of 2,454 million US$.

Net Earnings Performance
After a decline from 1,228 million US$ in 2017 to 1,000 million US$ in 2018, net earnings grew steadily for four consecutive years. This growth trend culminated in 2022, marking the highest earnings level in the reported period and representing a total increase of approximately 100% compared to 2017 levels.
Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) Volatility
Other comprehensive income demonstrated significant volatility and lacked a consistent directional trend. Gains were observed in 2018 (35 million US$) and 2021 (33 million US$), while a notable loss of 20 million US$ was recorded in 2019. The volatility is primarily attributed to foreign currency translation adjustments, which fluctuated between 35 million US$ in 2018 and negative 20 million US$ in 2019.
Non-Operational Adjustments
Specific accounting events influenced the 2021 results, most notably a 39 million US$ reclassification of cumulative translation adjustments resulting from a business exit. This positive adjustment was partially offset by a 2 million US$ loss from cash flow hedges, contributing to the overall OCI for that period.
Comprehensive Income Correlation
Comprehensive income closely mirrored the movements of net earnings throughout the period. Because the values of other comprehensive income remained relatively small in proportion to net earnings, the variance between the two metrics was marginal, with comprehensive income increasing from 1,236 million US$ in 2017 to 2,455 million US$ in 2022.
