The operating profit margin exhibits significant volatility over the analyzed period from 2005 to 2023, characterized by an initial phase of stability, a period of extreme fluctuation, and a subsequent stabilization at a lower baseline compared to early historical levels.

Initial Stability and Gradual Decline (2005–2011)
Between 2005 and 2011, the operating profit margin remained relatively stable, beginning at 17.20% and gradually contracting to 14.97%. During this period, operating profit grew modestly from US$ 1,750 million to US$ 1,976 million, supported by a steady increase in net sales from US$ 10,177 million to US$ 13,198 million.
Period of Extreme Volatility (2012–2014)
A period of high variance is observed between 2012 and 2014. After a dip to 11.00% in 2012, the margin surged to a series peak of 19.18% in 2013, coinciding with the highest recorded operating profit of US$ 2,837 million. This peak was immediately followed by a sharp correction in 2014, where the margin fell to its lowest point of 7.02%, driven by a significant decrease in operating profit to US$ 1,024 million.
Recovery and Margin Stabilization (2015–2023)
A recovery phase began in 2015, with the margin trending upward to reach 15.06% by 2017. However, from 2018 through 2023, the margin shifted to a lower range, fluctuating between 10.32% and 12.79%. Notably, while net sales reached a peak of US$ 15,315 million in 2022, the operating profit margin for that year was 10.68%, suggesting that revenue growth did not correlate with increased operational efficiency. The period ended with an operating profit margin of 11.47% in 2023.
