The financial data indicates significant variability in net income attributable to the company over the observed periods. Starting from a positive figure at the end of 2005, the net income experienced sharp declines in the following years, reaching substantial negative values in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Thereafter, a recovery trend is evident, with positive net income reported from 2009 through 2014, peaking notably in 2011. However, fluctuations continued with some years showing moderate income and others approaching breakeven or marginal loss, notably in 2019 and 2020. The most recent years reflect positive net income again, indicating a return to profitability.
Revenue excluding Ford Credit displays an overall upward trend, despite some periods of contraction. Initial years show relatively high revenue figures, with a dip visible around 2008 to 2009, correlating with the global financial crisis. Following this, revenues mostly increase or stabilize, reaching new highs in the final years of the dataset. The general growth suggests an expansion or increased sales volume and improved market position, notwithstanding the cyclical downturns.
The net profit margin demonstrates substantial volatility across the years. Negative margins are prominent particularly from 2006 to 2008, coinciding with net losses. Positive margin years align with periods of net income improvement, with a notable peak at 15.77% in 2011, reinforcing this year as a peak profitability period. Post-2011, profit margins fluctuate between moderate positive and slight negative values, reflecting the inconsistent profitability of the company. The latest years indicate a modest positive profit margin, signaling cautious but positive financial performance.
