Revenue patterns exhibit significant volatility over the observed period, characterized by a steady climb until early 2020, followed by a sharp contraction and subsequent rapid recovery. Net sales reached a peak of US$ 5,539 million in December 2021, but a downward trajectory emerged throughout 2022 and 2023, concluding at US$ 3,609 million in June 2023.

Gross Profitability
Gross profit margins have remained relatively stable, though absolute values fluctuate in tandem with net sales. The cost of sales has generally scaled with revenue, although recent quarters indicate a compression in gross profit compared to the peak levels observed in late 2021.
Operating Expense Analysis
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent the primary driver of operating costs, consistently exceeding US$ 2 billion per quarter. Operating income has been heavily impacted by periodic non-cash charges, including substantial goodwill and intangible asset impairments, particularly in March 2020 and March 2022, which created significant deviations between gross profit and operating income.
Operating Income and Net Earnings Trends
Operating income peaked at US$ 1,418 million in December 2021 but declined to a loss of US$ 5 million by June 2023. Net earnings follow a similar trajectory, with a notable loss of US$ 462 million in June 2020 and a more recent loss of US$ 33 million in June 2023, highlighting a period of declining profitability toward the end of the reporting sequence.
Financial Costs and Other Income
Interest expenses have trended upward, rising from approximately US$ 31 million in 2017 to US$ 99 million by June 2023. This increase is partially offset by growth in interest and investment income, which rose to US$ 53 million in the final quarter, suggesting a shift in the company's cash position or debt structure.
