The net income figures exhibit substantial volatility over the given time period. Starting from approximately 1.98 billion USD in 2005, net income generally increased reaching a peak of over 8.3 billion USD in 2019. However, there were notable fluctuations, including a significant net loss in 2008 at approximately negative 2.07 billion USD and a negative figure in 2017 as well. Following 2019, net income decreased but remained positive, with values oscillating until reaching a notable increase again in 2024, peaking at 10.59 billion USD.

Revenue demonstrates a clear upward trend throughout the period under review. Beginning at approximately 14.65 billion USD in 2005, revenue steadily increased with a few periods of decline or slower growth, such as in 2008 and a drop in 2014-2015. However, after 2015, revenue growth resumed robustly, culminating in a significant jump to over 45 billion USD by 2024, indicating strong sales growth or expansion of the business over the years.

Net profit margin also shows considerable variation that aligns with the fluctuations in net income. Margins started at 13.52% in 2005, saw an improvement reaching over 21% by 2010, and remained relatively stable until the sharp decline in 2008 coinciding with the net loss recorded that year. The margin dipped near zero in 2017 but recovered thereafter, reaching an exceptionally high margin of 37.27% in 2019, suggesting a year of significantly improved profitability. This was followed by a decline and stabilization in the 15% to 25% range in subsequent years. Despite some variability, the overall level of profitability as measured by net margins appears sustainable and relatively high by the end of the period examined.
