The financial data reflects significant fluctuations in net income and profitability over the examined period, with observable patterns in revenue growth as well.

Net Income (Loss)
Net income demonstrates pronounced volatility. The company experienced substantial losses in 2008 and 2009, with the largest loss of -8922 million USD in 2008 followed by -1237 million USD in 2009. Subsequent years generally showed recovery, with net income improving from 593 million USD in 2010 and climbing markedly to a peak of 10540 million USD in 2013. After a sharp decrease in 2014 to 659 million USD, the net income rebounded strongly, reaching several consecutive positive years, including 4767 million USD in 2019. However, 2020 marked another severe downturn with a significant loss of -12385 million USD, likely influenced by external disruptions. The figures in 2021 indicate a modest recovery to a net income of 280 million USD.
Operating Revenue
Operating revenue showed an increasing trend over the period, growing steadily from 19154 million USD in 2007 to a peak of 47007 million USD in 2019. Despite a setback in 2020 where revenue declined sharply to 17095 million USD, there was partial recovery in 2021 with revenue rising to 29899 million USD. Overall, the revenue trend indicates growth with occasional significant contractions.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin closely mirrors the movements in net income, highlighting periods of profitability and losses. The margin was positive at 8.42% in 2007 but dropped sharply into negative territory during 2008 and 2009 (-39.31% and -4.41%, respectively). It recovered gradually in the following years, peaking conspicuously at 27.9% in 2013, indicative of high profitability that year. After fluctuations and generally lower margins in the mid-2010s, the margin again suffered a drastic decline in 2020 to -72.45%, showing an acute profitability crisis in that year. The 2021 ratio of 0.94% suggests a tentative return towards break-even performance.

In summary, the company experienced periods of serious financial distress in 2008-2009 and again in 2020, interspersed with phases of robust profitability and revenue growth, notably around 2013 and prior to 2020. The data suggests exposure to significant operational or external challenges impacting earnings, with a recurring pattern of recovery following downturns.
