The financial performance from 2014 to 2018 is characterized by a severe contraction in revenue and profitability peaking in 2016, followed by a steady recovery phase. Total revenue declined from 32,870 million US$ in 2014 to a low of 15,887 million US$ in 2016, representing a reduction of approximately 51.7%. However, a recovery trend emerged thereafter, with revenue increasing to 23,995 million US$ by the end of 2018.

Revenue Composition and Trends
Revenue is driven primarily by services, which mirrored the overall downward and subsequent upward trend. Services revenue fell from 25,039 million US$ in 2014 to 11,140 million US$ in 2016 before rebounding to 18,444 million US$ in 2018. Product sales followed a similar pattern, though on a smaller scale, dropping from 7,831 million US$ in 2014 to a low of 4,747 million US$ in 2016 and recovering to 5,551 million US$ by 2018.
Gross Profitability and Cost Management
Gross profit experienced a sharp decline, falling from 5,340 million US$ in 2014 to 864 million US$ in 2016. This compression was driven by the significant drop in top-line revenue, as the cost of services and product sales did not decrease at the same rate as revenue. By 2018, gross profit recovered to 2,986 million US$, although it remained well below 2014 levels.
Operating Income and Non-Recurring Charges
Operating income exhibited extreme volatility, shifting from a profit of 5,097 million US$ in 2014 to a substantial operating loss of 6,778 million US$ in 2016. This precipitous decline was largely attributable to non-recurring items, specifically merger-related costs and termination fees of 4,057 million US$ and impairments and other charges of 3,357 million US$ in 2016. General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable throughout the period, fluctuating between 200 million and 292 million US$.
Net Income and Bottom-Line Recovery
Net income attributable to the company mirrored the operating trend, moving from a profit of 3,500 million US$ in 2014 to a net loss of 5,763 million US$ in 2016. The company remained in a net loss position through 2017 (-463 million US$) before returning to profitability in 2018 with a net income of 1,656 million US$.
Interest and Financial Obligations
Net interest expense remained a consistent burden, ranging from 383 million US$ in 2014 to a peak of 639 million US$ in 2016. This expense contributed to the continued net loss in 2017 even after operating income had returned to positive territory (1,362 million US$).
