- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CBI
 - Over the observed period, net income exhibited significant volatility. Initial years showed positive net income, peaking at approximately $331.9 million in 2007. However, there was a sharp decline into negative figures for 2008 and 2009, with notable losses of approximately $613.3 million and $301.4 million respectively. Recovery began in 2010, with income turning positive and reaching substantial growth with fluctuations peaking at $3.44 billion in 2019. The period 2020 and 2022 again saw negative values, albeit relatively minor compared to earlier losses, indicating intermittent challenges or restructuring impacts.
 - Net Sales
 - Net sales figures demonstrated a general upward trend with some deviations. Sales reached a peak at over $5.2 billion in 2007, followed by a decline during the 2008 to 2012 window, dropping to as low as $2.65 billion in 2012. From 2013 onward, there was sustained growth, culminating in steady increases through to 2022, with sales nearing $8.82 billion. This trend indicates a rebound from mid-period lows and a strong positive trajectory in revenue generation.
 - Net Profit Margin
 - The net profit margin reflected the trends in net income, showing volatility and significant swings. Early margins ranged between 6.36% and 7.07%, but plunged to negative territory during the 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, with margins of approximately -16.25% and -8.25%. A strong recovery ensued post-2009, with margins improving significantly from 2010 onwards and reaching a high of 42.33% in 2019, highlighting efficient profit generation relative to sales. Margins dipped again in 2020 and 2022 into slightly negative values, indicating some operational or market challenges during these years.
 - General Observations
 - The combination of declining net sales and net income coupled with negative profit margins in the 2008-2009 period suggests a significant adverse event or market downturn. The following decade was characterized by recovery and growth, with both revenue and profitability improving consistently. The peak in profitability around 2019 indicates a period of operational excellence or favorable market conditions. Recent fluctuations in profitability despite growing sales suggest emerging challenges which may warrant further investigation to determine underlying causes.
