1 US$ in millions


The financial data reveals significant trends in key profitability and revenue metrics over two decades.

Revenues
Revenues consistently increased from US$176 million in 2005 to US$37.9 billion in 2025, demonstrating robust and sustained growth.
This steady upward trajectory reflects a strong expansion in business scale and market reach over time, with no years showing a revenue decline.
The growth appears largely exponential, especially notable after 2010, as revenues jumped from US$1.3 billion to nearly US$38 billion by 2025.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income exhibited considerable volatility in the earlier years, including losses in 2012-2015, with the most severe loss recorded at US$-270 million in 2013.
Following this period, net income recovered and grew sharply, reaching peaks such as US$4.1 billion in 2024 and US$6.2 billion in 2025.
This improvement suggests effective cost management or enhanced operational efficiency alongside revenue growth in later years.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin mirrored net income trends, initially low and unstable, with several years of negative margins indicating unprofitable operations around 2012 to 2015.
Starting around 2016, profit margins began to recover, rising to 19.16% in 2021, though fluctuations continued in subsequent years.
Margins in 2024 and 2025 increased meaningfully to 11.87% and 16.35%, respectively, reflecting improved profitability and stronger net income relative to revenues.

Overall, the data illustrates a company transitioning from a phase of net losses and low profitability in the early 2010s to one with markedly improved earnings and margin performance alongside substantial revenue growth by the mid-2020s.
