The data reveals considerable fluctuations in net earnings attributable to the company over the observed period. Starting with a positive net earnings figure in 2005, the company experienced a significant loss in 2006. Subsequently, there was a recovery and growth phase from 2007 through 2009, with net earnings peaking notably in 2008 and 2009. Following this peak, net earnings showed volatility, including another dip into negative territory in 2017 and again in 2019, before recovering to positive values in 2020 and improving further by 2021.

Net sales over the years illustrate a somewhat cyclical pattern with a general upward trend toward the later years. Initially, sales grew steadily from 2005 to 2009, peaking in 2009. After this peak, sales declined sharply in 2010, then experienced recovery and cycles of moderate fluctuations. Positive growth resumed in the final years, reaching the highest recorded figure in 2021, indicating an overall growth trajectory despite interim dips.

The net profit margin reflects the company's profitability relative to sales and shows significant variability. The margin was positive in most years prior to 2006 but turned negative that year, consistent with the net earnings loss. From 2007 to 2009, the margin improved markedly, exceeding 20% at its peak, signaling strong profitability. However, starting in 2010, margins became more erratic, dipping below zero at times (notably negative in 2017 and 2019), which aligns with the periods of net losses. The margin recovered in more recent years, demonstrating improved operational efficiency and profitability by 2021.

Net Earnings (Loss)
Highly variable with alternating periods of strong profits and losses; peaks in 2008, 2009, 2011; losses notable in 2006, 2017, and 2019.
Net Sales
Generally upward trend with peak in 2009, a sharp decline in 2010, followed by recovery and fluctuations; achieving highest value in 2021.
Net Profit Margin
Correlates closely with net earnings trends; strong profitability in 2008-2009; negative margins in 2006, 2017, 2019; recovery to double-digit margins by 2021.

Overall, the financial data indicates that the company's earnings and profitability fluctuate significantly, closely tied to variations in sales volumes and market conditions over the years. The recovery in recent periods suggests improved business performance and capacity to generate profit relative to sales after volatile periods.
