- Net Income Attributable to Shareholders
- From 2011 to 2012, net income showed a significant increase, rising from 1,665 million USD to 2,155 million USD. However, subsequent years exhibited a declining trend, with net income decreasing to 1,954 million USD in 2013, slightly recovering to 2,031 million USD in 2014, and then falling again to 1,844 million USD in 2015. Overall, after the peak in 2012, net income demonstrated volatility and a downward tendency.
- Earnings Before Tax (EBT)
- EBT demonstrated growth from 2,462 million USD in 2011 to a peak of 3,336 million USD in 2012. In the following years, the figure decreased to 3,039 million USD in 2013 but then increased again to 3,248 million USD in 2014 before dropping to 2,988 million USD in 2015. The pattern reveals fluctuations but with generally higher earnings before tax from 2012 onward compared to 2011.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- EBIT increased notably from 3,986 million USD in 2011 to 4,950 million USD in 2012. After this peak, EBIT declined over the next three years, registering 4,594 million USD in 2013, 4,667 million USD in 2014, and 4,390 million USD in 2015. The trend indicates a rise followed by a gradual reduction in operating profitability.
- Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
- The EBITDA metric rose steadily from 7,013 million USD in 2011 to 8,214 million USD in 2012. In the subsequent years, EBITDA remained relatively stable, with minor fluctuations: 7,875 million USD in 2013, 8,038 million USD in 2014, and 8,086 million USD in 2015. This suggests consistent overall operational cash generation capacity after the initial increase in 2012.

- Enterprise value (EV)
- The enterprise value increased steadily over the five-year period, rising from $45,664 million in 2011 to $73,738 million in 2015. This represents a significant upward trend, with the most pronounced growth occurring between 2012 and 2013 and continuing at a slower but consistent pace thereafter.
- Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
- EBITDA showed overall growth from 2011 to 2015, increasing from $7,013 million to $8,086 million. Notably, EBITDA experienced a peak in 2012 at $8,214 million, followed by a decline in 2013 to $7,875 million, then a gradual recovery over the next two years, though it did not surpass the 2012 high within the observed timeframe.
- EV/EBITDA Ratio
- The EV/EBITDA ratio declined from 6.51 in 2011 to 5.96 in 2012, indicating increased operational profitability relative to enterprise value at that time. Subsequently, the ratio rose sharply to 8.22 in 2013 and remained elevated through 2014 and 2015, reaching 9.12 at the end of the period. This increase suggests that enterprise value grew at a faster pace than EBITDA in these later years, potentially indicating higher market valuation relative to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization.
