The financial data reveals several noteworthy trends over the reported periods.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to SLB
The net income displayed general growth from 2005 through 2013, rising from 2,207 million USD to a peak of 6,732 million USD in 2013. However, a significant decline is evident starting in 2014, with net income decreasing sharply to 2,072 million USD, followed by negative results in 2015 (-1,687 million USD) and 2016 (-1,505 million USD). Recovery begins from 2017 onward, though volatility remains, with a notable loss in 2019 (-10,137 million USD) and further loss in 2020 (-10,518 million USD). The company returns to profitability subsequently, with net income rising to 4,461 million USD in 2024.
Revenue
Revenue increased steadily from 14,309 million USD in 2005 to a high of 48,580 million USD in 2014. Afterward, revenue declined sharply to 27,810 million USD in 2016, followed by a gradual recovery and upward trend from 2017, reaching 36,289 million USD in 2024. This pattern suggests cyclicality or external market impacts affecting sales, with a peak before the 2015–2016 period and partial recovery thereafter.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin showed improvement from 15.42% in 2005 to peak levels above 22% in 2007 and maintained around 20% until 2008. A downward trend follows, dropping to 5.84% by 2014, turning negative in 2015 (-6.07%) and 2016 (-4.94%). Margins become further negative in 2019 (-30.8%) and 2020 (-44.57%), coinciding with the large net losses observed. Recovery in profit margin is evident after 2020, rising above 12% by 2023 and slightly declining to 12.29% in 2024.

Overall, the financial performance reflects a volatile environment, with periods of strong earnings growth and profitability followed by significant declines and losses, particularly around 2015-2016 and 2019-2020. The rebound in revenue and profit margin from 2017 onward indicates operational recovery, although levels remain below earlier peaks. The substantial losses and margin contractions in some years suggest exposure to adverse market conditions or other challenges impacting profitability.
