The financial performance over the analyzed period is characterized by significant volatility in revenues and net income, reflecting the cyclical nature of the energy sector and the impact of external macroeconomic shocks. A profound contraction occurred in the first half of 2020, followed by a period of aggressive growth that peaked in mid-2022, and a subsequent stabilization with a downward trend in profitability throughout 2024.

Revenue Trends
Revenues exhibited a dramatic fluctuation, falling from approximately 24 billion to 28 billion USD in 2019 to a low of 10.397 billion USD in the second quarter of 2020. A robust recovery followed, with revenues scaling up to a peak of 51.641 billion USD in the second quarter of 2022. Since that peak, there has been a general moderation, with revenues in 2023 and 2024 fluctuating between 31.7 billion and 38.4 billion USD.
Operating Profitability
Operating income mirrored revenue volatility but with higher variance. The period between March 2020 and March 2021 saw intermittent operating losses, including a low of -2.277 billion USD in the first quarter of 2020. Profitability surged in 2022, reaching a high of 6.219 billion USD in the second quarter. However, operating income has trended downward in the most recent quarters, falling to 507 million USD by the third quarter of 2024.
Cost Structure and Operating Expenses
Cost of sales remains the primary driver of expenses, closely correlating with revenue shifts. Non-material operating expenses, excluding depreciation, have remained relatively stable, generally ranging between 1.1 billion and 1.7 billion USD. Depreciation and amortization expenses show a consistent, gradual increase over the five-year period, rising from approximately 537 million USD in early 2019 to 675 million USD by the third quarter of 2024, suggesting steady capital investment or asset aging.
Net Income and Bottom Line Performance
Net income has experienced extreme swings, from a loss of 1.754 billion USD in the first quarter of 2020 to a peak gain of 4.768 billion USD in the second quarter of 2022. While the company maintained strong positive net income through 2023, a clear decelerating trend is evident in 2024, with net income decreasing from 1.33 billion USD in the first quarter to 393 million USD in the third quarter.
Financial Obligations and Other Income
Interest and debt expenses have remained remarkably consistent, hovering between 111 million and 153 million USD per quarter, indicating a stable debt service profile despite the volatility in operational earnings. Other income, net, has trended upward from 2019 levels, contributing more significantly to the pre-tax income in recent years, particularly throughout 2023 and 2024.
