The financial data reveals several notable trends and insights related to the company's profitability and revenue over the eight-year period from 2011 to 2018.

Net Income Attributable to Company Shareholders
Net income exhibited an overall upward trend from 2011 to 2018, increasing significantly from approximately 2.1 billion US dollars in 2011 to around 4.7 billion US dollars in 2018. There were fluctuations within this trajectory, with notable dips occurring in 2016, where net income decreased to roughly 3.8 billion US dollars from a peak of nearly 4.5 billion in 2015. Despite this dip, net income rebounded strongly in subsequent years, reaching the highest level within the period in 2017 at approximately 4.9 billion US dollars.
Sales and Other Operating Revenues
Sales revenue demonstrated a declining trend from 2011 to 2016, dropping from over 51 billion US dollars in 2011 to under 29.2 billion by 2016. This represents a reduction of more than 40% over five years. Beginning in 2017, revenues showed a moderate recovery, climbing back to nearly 39 billion US dollars by 2018. The interim years between 2014 and 2016 saw the sharpest declines, with 2015 and 2016 registering the lowest revenue figures within the period analyzed.
Net Profit Margin
Profitability, as measured by net profit margin, improved considerably over the period. The margin rose from just above 4% in 2011 to a peak of over 14% in 2017, reflecting enhanced efficiency or improved cost management relative to revenue. Although there was a slight contraction in 2018 to approximately 12%, the margin remained significantly higher than in the early years. Notably, the profit margin increased substantially even as sales declined to their lowest levels, which highlights improved profit generation capabilities despite lower top-line revenues.

In summary, the company demonstrated a capacity to increase profitability significantly over the reviewed period, as evidenced by growing net income and higher profit margins, despite experiencing a marked decline in sales during the mid-period. The recovery in sales observed in the final two years aligns with continued strong profitability, suggesting successful strategic adjustments or market conditions favorable to enhanced financial performance.
