Profits in Latin America grew by 22%, profits in Asia (mostly India) grew 250% according to their latest Quarterly earnings released the 23rd.

I would like to point out that I feel their regional designation decrease transparency in their reporting. For example, "North America" includes not only the US, Canada, and Mexico, but also Central America and the norther portion of South America. I realize that they must consolodate some areas in a counterintuitive manner for efficiency, but it would be more appropriate to move Central America to their "Latin America" region (which is just the souther part of South America). It is not a secret that the US and Canada are not growth regions and so there is no need to prop them up.
