1 US$ in millions


The financial data reveals several notable trends over the examined periods. Net income attributable to shareholders demonstrated significant volatility, with a sharp increase from 2,905 million US dollars in 2005 to a peak of 6,552 million in 2006, followed by a decline to 4,387 million in 2007. A substantial negative net income was recorded in 2008, reaching -13,402 million, indicating a significant loss during that year. However, from 2009 onward, net income showed a recovery trend, steadily increasing to 5,247 million by 2017.

Revenues remained relatively stable and exhibited modest growth until 2008, fluctuating around the mid-40,000 million US dollars range. There was a notable decline in 2009, with revenues dropping sharply to 25,785 million. Following this, revenues gradually increased, though remaining lower than the pre-2009 levels, reaching 31,271 million in 2017. This pattern suggests a significant restructuring or divestiture impact around 2009, followed by a subsequent recovery phase.

The net profit margin displayed marked fluctuations consistent with the trends in net income and revenue. The margin reached a high of 14.82% in 2006 but plummeted to a negative 28.52% in 2008, mirroring the substantial loss in net income that year. From 2009 onward, the net profit margin steadily improved, ranging between 9.57% and 16.78%, indicating enhanced profitability and operational efficiency as the company rebounded from the earlier loss period. The highest profit margin was achieved in 2017 at 16.78%, reflecting strong financial performance.

Overall, the financial data indicates a period of strong profitability followed by a significant downturn in 2008, with a subsequent and sustained recovery in both profitability and revenue. The improved profit margins and increasing net income in the later years suggest effective management measures and positive business developments post-crisis.
