The operating performance from 2005 to 2018 is characterized by significant volatility, divided into three distinct phases: a period of fluctuating stability, a severe financial contraction, and a subsequent recovery.
- Margin Stability and Growth (2005-2014)
- Between 2005 and 2014, operating profit margins remained positive, fluctuating between a low of 10.67% in 2013 and a peak of 22.92% in 2007. During this decade, revenue generally expanded, reaching a peak of 32,870 million USD in 2014, while operating income achieved its highest historical value of 5,097 million USD in the same year.
- Operational Collapse (2015-2016)
- A critical downturn occurred in 2015 and 2016, where the operating profit margin plummeted from 15.51% in 2014 to -0.70% in 2015, and further collapsed to -42.66% in 2016. This period was marked by a substantial operating loss of 6,778 million USD in 2016, occurring alongside a sharp decline in revenue to 15,887 million USD, indicating a severe misalignment between operational costs and income.
- Recovery and Stabilization (2017-2018)
- A trend of recovery is observed starting in 2017, as the operating profit margin returned to positive territory at 6.61%. This improvement continued through 2018, with the margin rising to 10.28% and operating income recovering to 2,467 million USD. This recovery was supported by a steady increase in revenue, which reached 23,995 million USD by the end of 2018.
