1 US$ in millions

The financial data over the period under review reveals several significant trends in profitability and revenue generation.

Net Income
Net income attributable to the company, expressed in millions of US dollars, shows considerable volatility between 2011 and 2021. After starting at $2,465 million in 2011, net income dropped notably to $1,605 million in 2012 and remained relatively flat around $1,550 million through 2013. It then exhibited a recovery phase from 2014 through to 2016, peaking at $2,890 million. A decline followed, reaching around $2,216 million in 2017, before a robust surge to $3,787 million in 2018. Although there was a slight dip in 2019, the figure remained strong and grew steadily up to $3,754 million in 2020. The most marked increase occurred in 2021, with net income nearly doubling from the previous year to $6,956 million.
Revenues
Revenues demonstrated a generally consistent upward trend across the eleven-year span. Starting at $29,682 million in 2011, revenues increased each year with occasional minor fluctuations, reaching $58,752 million by the end of 2021. The growth in revenues was steady, highlighting continued expansion or increased sales volume. There was a notable acceleration in growth between 2019 and 2021.
Net Profit Margin
Net profit margin, expressed as a percentage, initially declined from 8.3% in 2011 to a low of just 4.55% in 2013. Thereafter, the margin recovered gradually, reaching 6.97% in 2016. The margin saw some fluctuations with a dip in 2017 to 5.08%, followed by a pronounced improvement in 2018 to 8.11%. The profit margin slightly declined and stabilized in the range of 6.8% to 7.3% from 2019 to 2020 before experiencing a significant jump to 11.84% in 2021, which coincides with the sharp increase in net income for that year.

Overall, the data indicates that while the company faced periods of pressure on profitability particularly in the early part of the decade, it achieved substantial growth in both revenues and net income towards the end of the period. The considerable improvement in net profit margin in 2021 suggests enhanced operational efficiency or other factors positively impacting profitability during that year. The strong correlation between rising revenues and increasing net income over time underscores a sustained ability to convert sales growth into bottom-line gains.
