The operating profit margin exhibited considerable fluctuation between 2005 and 2025. Initial years show a lack of available information, with a discernible trend emerging from 2018 onwards. A period of profitability followed by significant losses and subsequent recovery is evident.

Overall Trend
From 2018 to 2020, the operating profit margin demonstrated a volatile pattern. It began at 2.16% in 2018, decreased substantially to 0.40% in 2019, and then experienced a significant loss in 2020, resulting in a margin of -3.80%. A strong recovery occurred in 2021 and 2022, with margins reaching 3.59% and 4.21% respectively. The margin then decreased to 3.29% in 2023 before a substantial loss in 2024, falling to -5.27%.
Profitability Peaks
The highest operating profit margin within the observed period was 4.21%, achieved in 2022. This indicates a period of strong operational efficiency and profitability. Prior to this, 2021 and 2023 also showed positive margins, though lower than that of 2022.
Periods of Loss
Significant operating losses were recorded in 2020 and 2024, with margins of -3.80% and -5.27% respectively. These periods suggest substantial challenges in maintaining profitability, potentially due to factors such as decreased revenues, increased costs, or adverse market conditions. The loss in 2020 was particularly pronounced, coinciding with a significant decrease in company revenues.
Revenue Correlation
A review of the revenue figures alongside the operating profit margin suggests a correlation between revenue performance and profitability. The substantial revenue decline in 2020 appears to have directly contributed to the significant operating loss experienced that year. Conversely, revenue increases in 2021 and 2022 coincided with improved operating profit margins.
Recent Performance
The most recent year, 2024, shows a return to substantial operating loss, despite revenue remaining relatively high. This suggests that factors beyond revenue, such as increased costs or decreased efficiency, may be significantly impacting profitability.

In summary, the operating profit margin has been subject to considerable volatility, with periods of strong profitability interspersed with significant losses. Recent performance indicates a concerning trend of declining profitability despite relatively stable revenue.
