Revenue streams remained relatively stable from 2016 through 2019, typically fluctuating between 4.4 billion and 4.7 billion US dollars. A significant peak occurred in the first quarter of 2020, where net sales reached 5.01 billion US dollars, before returning to a range between 4.6 billion and 4.8 billion US dollars in subsequent quarters.

Gross Profitability and Cost Management
Gross profit maintained a consistent level of approximately 1.6 billion US dollars through 2017. A sharp contraction is observed in the first quarter of 2018, where gross profit fell to 1.32 billion US dollars, driven by a spike in the cost of products sold to 3.41 billion US dollars. Profitability margins recovered throughout 2019 and reached a period high in the first half of 2020, peaking at 1.79 billion US dollars in March 2020.
Operating Expense Analysis
Marketing, research, and general expenses generally trended between 750 million and 850 million US dollars. A notable increase to 1.08 billion US dollars occurred in the first quarter of 2018, which coincided with the lowest recorded operating profit of 247 million US dollars. Following this volatility, operating expenses stabilized, though a slight upward trend was evident toward the end of 2020, reaching 996 million US dollars in September 2020.
Operating and Net Income Performance
Operating profit showed significant volatility in 2018, dropping from a baseline of approximately 800 million US dollars to 247 million US dollars in the first quarter. Recovery was gradual through 2019, with a substantial increase in the first half of 2020, peaking at 925 million US dollars in June 2020. Net income attributable to the corporation mirrored this trend, experiencing a trough of 93 million US dollars in March 2018 and recovering to a peak of 681 million US dollars in June 2020.
Non-Operating Items and Tax Impact
Interest expenses remained remarkably stable, fluctuating narrowly between 61 million and 85 million US dollars throughout the analyzed period. Other income showed sporadic volatility, with significant positive contributions in the third quarter of 2019 (175 million US dollars) and the fourth quarter of 2020 (81 million US dollars). Provision for income taxes generally aligned with pre-tax income levels, though it showed a relative decrease in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018.
