The financial data reflects notable variations and trends in operating income, revenues, and operating profit margin over the period from the end of 2005 through 2017.

Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income demonstrated an overall growth trend, beginning at 4,519 million USD in 2005 and reaching 7,920 million USD by the end of 2017. A significant anomaly occurred in 2008 with a substantial loss of 15,957 million USD, representing a sharp deviation from the otherwise positive performance. After this loss, operating income recovered promptly and showed consistent year-on-year increases from 2009 onwards, peaking above previous highs by 2017.
Revenues
Revenues generally exhibited a moderate upward trend but with notable fluctuations. Starting at 43,652 million USD in 2005, revenues increased steadily through 2008, reaching 46,984 million USD. However, in 2009 there was a dramatic decline to 25,785 million USD, a decrease that persisted into the early 2010s. Subsequent years displayed a gradual recovery with revenues climbing back to 31,271 million USD by 2017. Despite this recovery, revenue levels in the later years remained lower than the pre-2009 peak.
Operating Profit Margin
The operating profit margin followed a pattern consistent with operating income, reaching a high of 19.25% in 2007 before plummeting to -33.96% in 2008, reflecting the severe operating loss that year. Post-2008, the margin rebounded strongly, exceeding 20% from 2009 onward, with a peak margin of 25.74% in 2016. This indicates enhanced operational efficiency and profitability in the years after the loss, maintaining a consistently favorable margin above 20% through 2017.

In summary, the data reveals a period of exceptional operational difficulty in 2008, followed by a recovery characterized by growing operating income and an improving operating profit margin. Although revenues experienced a sharp decline in 2009 with only gradual recovery thereafter, operational profitability improved substantially indicating better cost control or margin-enhancing initiatives during the recovery period.
