The financial data reveals several key trends in profitability and revenue performance over the analyzed period.

Revenue Trend
Revenue demonstrated a general upward trajectory from 2005 until 2014, increasing from $14.3 billion to a peak of $48.6 billion. This was followed by a significant decline to $23.6 billion in 2020, likely impacted by external factors affecting the industry or global economy. Since 2020, revenue has been on a recovery path, rising steadily to approximately $36.3 billion by 2024.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company
Net income grew strongly from 2005, reaching a high point in 2013 at $6.7 billion. However, starting in 2014, net income experienced volatility, with a sharp decline into negative territory for 2015 and 2016 at approximately -$1.7 billion and -$1.5 billion respectively. There was a rebound in 2018 with positive earnings, but the company encountered a substantial loss once again in 2019 and 2020, with net losses exceeding $10 billion each year. From 2021 onwards, net income returned to positive figures and showed an improving trend, reaching $4.5 billion by 2024.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin mirrored the trends observed in net income. Initially, the margin was strong, peaking above 22% in 2007. It then trended downward to mid-teens by 2010 and further decreased to single digits by 2014. The company recorded negative net profit margins in 2015 and 2016, indicating losses. A recovery began in 2018, with margins improving to above 6%. Again, the margin deteriorated drastically to around -30% and -44.6% in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Positive margins resumed from 2021 and stabilized near 12% through 2024.
Overall Financial Performance Analysis
The data indicates a period of robust growth and profitability through the first decade and early 2010s, followed by a phase of volatility and significant financial distress around the mid to late 2010s. The losses and negative margins in 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2020 suggest operational or market challenges, possibly related to extraordinary events or restructuring. The recovery in revenue and profitability from 2021 onwards reflects renewed operational stability and improving market conditions. Nevertheless, the net income and margin levels post-recovery, while positive and stable, have not returned to the peak levels observed in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
