1 US$ in millions
- Net Earnings
- Net earnings exhibited an overall upward trend from 2005 through 2025, starting at 2,176 million US dollars in 2005 and reaching a peak of 8,442 million in 2022. Despite this long-term increase, fluctuations are observable, including periods of decline such as from 2005 to 2010, and a marked dip in 2019. The largest gains were recorded post-2016, particularly between 2016 and 2022, indicating substantial growth in profitability. However, earnings slightly decreased in the last two reported years, 2024 and 2025.
- Net Sales
- Net sales followed a generally positive trajectory from 2005 to 2024, growing from 36,464 million US dollars to a peak near 97,059 million in 2023. Sales figures showed steady annual increases with minor fluctuations, including a decline in the final two years, 2024 and 2025. The growth was gradual between 2005 and 2015 but accelerated from 2016 through 2023, highlighting a phase of notable expansion in revenue streams before the recent downturn.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin demonstrated considerable variability over the period but generally increased. Starting at 5.97% in 2005, it reached its lowest point in 2019 at 3.25%, followed by a strong recovery leading to the highest margin of 8.94% in 2024. Notable fluctuations occurred around the late 2000s and early 2010s, with margins dipping below 4% in some years. The margin improvement in recent years suggests enhanced efficiency or profitability relative to sales despite some recent volatility.
