Net Income
The net income demonstrates a generally increasing trend over the 20-year period. Starting at approximately $134.5 million in 2005, it shows fluctuations in earlier years with a decline reaching the lowest point near $64.5 million in 2010. From 2011 onward, net income steadily rises, with notable acceleration observed from 2017, culminating in a peak of around $513 million in 2024. This reflects a robust growth in profitability in the later years.
Revenues
Revenues exhibit moderate volatility in the initial years, starting near $799 million in 2005 and experiencing declines through 2009 at approximately $631 million. Post-2010, revenues recover and consistently increase year-over-year, reaching $1.72 billion by 2024. This steady upward trajectory from 2011 indicates strong top-line growth and expanding business operations over time.
Net Profit Margin (%)
The net profit margin fluctuates initially, starting at 16.85% in 2005 but declining to a low around 10.3% by 2010-2011, indicating reduced profitability relative to revenue during this period. Thereafter, the margin improves significantly, stabilizing between 12-14% through 2017 and rising sharply from 2018 onward. The margin surpasses 29% by 2024, highlighting enhanced cost management or pricing power contributing to greater profitability.
Overall Insights
The data reveals a transition from a period of revenue and profit contraction in the late 2000s to substantial expansion and profitability improvement in the 2010s and early 2020s. The alignment of revenue growth with rising net income and expanding profit margins suggests effective operational efficiency and strategic execution. The strong profit margin increase in recent years indicates that gains in net income have outpaced revenue growth, signaling enhanced profitability dynamics.
