The financial data for the company over the period from June 30, 2005, to June 30, 2024, reveals several notable trends in net earnings, net sales, and net profit margin.

Net Earnings Attributable to the Company (US$ in millions)

Net earnings show a general upward trend with fluctuations throughout the years. Starting at $7,257 million in 2005, earnings increased steadily, reaching a peak of $15,326 million in 2017. This peak was followed by a decline, notably dropping to $3,897 million in 2019, representing a significant decrease. However, from 2020 onwards, earnings recovered and stabilized around the $14,000 to $15,000 million range by 2024.

Net Sales (US$ in millions)

Net sales experienced growth from $56,741 million in 2005 to a high of $84,039 million in 2024, with some variations in between. Sales rose consistently until 2008, reaching over $83,000 million, followed by a dip in the subsequent years, especially pronounced in 2016 with sales falling to $65,299 million. After this trough, sales gradually increased, surpassing previous highs by 2024.

Net Profit Margin (%)

The net profit margin as a percentage of sales exhibited volatility during the examined period. Initially, margins hovered around 12.7% to 14.5% between 2005 and 2008, then increased, peaking at 23.56% in 2017. Afterward, margins declined sharply to 5.76% in 2019, following the pattern seen in net earnings. From 2020 onward, profit margins recovered and stabilized around 17.7% to 18.8% by 2024, indicating improved profitability relative to sales.

Overall, the company demonstrated growth in both earnings and sales over the two decades, with marked fluctuations linked to external or internal factors causing sharp declines around 2014–2019. The recovery in the last five years highlights resilience and improved profitability after a period of volatility. The data suggests effective management of profit margins and sales recovery, contributing to stable earnings in recent years.
