The financial data reflects notable fluctuations in profitability and sales performance over the examined period.
- Net Income Attributable to DuPont
- The net income exhibited significant variability. Starting at 4515 million USD in 2005, it declined steadily to a low of 579 million USD by 2008, suggesting challenges during this span. A partial recovery is observed from 2009 to 2011, with net income increasing to 2742 million USD. Following this, a downward trajectory resumes, hitting 1182 million USD in 2012. A strong recovery peaks in 2015 at 7685 million USD, the highest value in the dataset. However, subsequent years show inconsistent results, with a sharp decline to 498 million USD by 2019, highlighting increased volatility in earnings.
- Net Sales
- Net sales demonstrated a generally upward trend with notable exceptions. After a moderate increase from 46307 million USD in 2005 to 57514 million USD in 2008, sales dropped substantially to 44875 million USD in 2009, possibly reflecting external market pressures. Sales rebounded strongly, reaching a peak of 85977 million USD in 2018, indicating substantial growth and possible expansion activities. This is followed by a steep decrease to 21512 million USD in 2019, representing a significant contraction in revenue.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin aligns closely with net income trends, showing considerable volatility. Margins declined from 9.75% in 2005 to around 1% in 2008, corresponding with the lowest net income period. Recovery phases in margin are evident from 2009 to 2011, with peaks reaching 15.76% in 2015, which coincides with peak net income. However, margins decrease sharply afterward, reaching 2.31% by 2019, indicating reduced profitability relative to sales.
Overall, the data depict a company experiencing cyclical profitability with periods of strong growth and severe contractions. Noteworthy is the pronounced volatility from 2014 onward, especially with the dramatic sales and income decline in 2019, which may indicate challenges requiring strategic evaluation.
