1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Gross profit margin = 100 × (Gross marginQ2 2025 + Gross marginQ1 2025 + Gross marginQ4 2024 + Gross marginQ3 2024) ÷ (RevenuesQ2 2025 + RevenuesQ1 2025 + RevenuesQ4 2024 + RevenuesQ3 2024)
= 100 × (1,855,390 + 1,694,110 + 1,558,184 + 1,365,945) ÷ (3,076,851 + 2,841,541 + 2,568,735 + 2,359,830) = 59.68%

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Operating profit margin = 100 × (Income from operationsQ2 2025 + Income from operationsQ1 2025 + Income from operationsQ4 2024 + Income from operationsQ3 2024) ÷ (RevenuesQ2 2025 + RevenuesQ1 2025 + RevenuesQ4 2024 + RevenuesQ3 2024)
= 100 × (1,003,052 + 1,119,923 + 977,319 + 736,367) ÷ (3,076,851 + 2,841,541 + 2,568,735 + 2,359,830) = 35.37%
