1 Q3 2024 Calculation
Gross profit margin = 100 × (Gross profitQ3 2024 + Gross profitQ2 2024 + Gross profitQ1 2024 + Gross profitQ4 2023) ÷ (Net revenueQ3 2024 + Net revenueQ2 2024 + Net revenueQ1 2024 + Net revenueQ4 2023)
= 100 × (3,205 + 3,153 + 3,204 + 3,169) ÷ (6,778 + 6,646 + 6,707 + 6,723) = 47.41%

Operating profit margin = 100 × (Income from operationsQ3 2024 + Income from operationsQ2 2024 + Income from operationsQ1 2024 + Income from operationsQ4 2023) ÷ (Net revenueQ3 2024 + Net revenueQ2 2024 + Net revenueQ1 2024 + Net revenueQ4 2023)
= 100 × (1,942 + 1,912 + 1,967 + 1,971) ÷ (6,778 + 6,646 + 6,707 + 6,723) = 29.02%
