The analysis of the financial data over the ten-year period reveals several notable trends in the company's performance.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to TWC Shareholders
- The net income experienced considerable volatility. Initially, net income was relatively strong in 2006, recording 1,976 million USD. However, there was a sharp decline in 2007 to 1,123 million USD, followed by a significant loss in 2008 with a negative value of -7,344 million USD. The subsequent years demonstrated a recovery trend, with net income returning to positive figures and steadily increasing, reaching a peak of 2,155 million USD in 2012. After this peak, net income experienced a moderate decline, stabilizing around 1,800 to 2,000 million USD from 2013 to 2015.
- Revenue
- Revenue showed a consistent upward trajectory throughout the examined period. Starting from 11,767 million USD in 2006, revenue increased year-over-year without interruption, reaching 23,697 million USD by 2015. This represents a near doubling of revenue over ten years. This steady growth indicates expanding business operations or increasing market share over time.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin mirrored the trends observed in net income but with greater sensitivity. The margin declined sharply from 16.79% in 2006 to 7.04% in 2007 and plunged further to -42.7% in 2008, indicative of a severe loss relative to revenue that year. Following 2008, profit margins recovered gradually, increasing to double digits by 2012 (10.08%). However, margins showed moderate fluctuations thereafter, settling around 7.78% to 8.9% in the final years, reflecting stabilization but at a level considerably lower than the initial 2006 figure.
In summary, while revenue demonstrated strong and consistent growth, profitability experienced substantial volatility, notably a severe loss in 2008 followed by recovery and stabilization in later years. The disparity between rising revenues and fluctuating profit margins suggests periods of challenges in cost management or extraordinary expenses impacting net profitability despite increasing sales.
