The analysis of the financial data over the two-decade span reveals several notable trends and fluctuations in operating income, operating revenues, and operating profit margin.

Operating Income
Operating income shows considerable volatility throughout the period. Initial values around $14.8 billion in 2005 fluctuate slightly downward through 2012, reaching a low near $12.9 billion before a significant surge to nearly $32 billion in 2013. This spike is followed by alternating increases and decreases, with peaks approximately at $33 billion in 2015 and again near $32.4 billion in 2021. The trend suggests intermittent periods of substantial profitability growth interrupted by sharp declines, possibly due to operational or market dynamics.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues demonstrate a generally upward trend with some variability. Starting at about $75 billion in 2005, revenues ascend steadily until 2009, surpassing $107 billion. Following minor fluctuations around the $110 billion to $130 billion range, revenues peak near $136.8 billion in 2022. The revenue growth is moderate yet consistent, indicating a stable expansion of the company’s top-line performance despite volatility in operating income.
Operating Profit Margin
The operating profit margin exhibits marked variability, ranging from a low near 11.36% in 2012 to a high exceeding 26.5% in 2013. Generally, the margin declines during the late 2000s and early 2010s before sharply increasing in 2013. Post-2013, the margin stabilizes within the 17% to 25% range, with periodic dips. This pattern suggests phases of improved operational efficiency or cost management interspersed with periods of margin compression.

In summary, the data portrays a company with growing revenues, punctuated by significant fluctuations in operating income and profit margin. The peaks in income and margin around 2013 and mid-2010s hint at successful operational strategies or favorable market conditions during those years, while other periods indicate challenges impacting profitability despite revenue growth. The overall financial performance reflects both resilience and variability in the company’s ability to convert sales into operating profits.
