Net Revenue
Net revenue shows a generally upward trend with significant volatility aligned with fiscal quarters. Notably, there is a strong increase in revenue starting in early 2020, particularly from February 2020 to January 2021 and again from January 2023 onward, where revenue peaks above 3 billion USD in several quarters. However, certain quarters such as May 2020 and May 2021 reflect sharp declines, likely influenced by external factors.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Cost of goods sold trends closely follow net revenue, increasing over time but with some fluctuations corresponding to revenue dips. The costs rise substantially after early 2020, with the highest costs recorded around early 2025, peaking at over 1.4 billion USD. The increase in COGS aligns with increased sales volumes but also reflects increased expenses or pricing pressures.
Gross Profit
Gross profit exhibits an overall increasing trend, with substantial growth starting from early 2020. The profit peaks align closely with peak revenue quarters, reaching highest values in quarters like January 2025 exceeding 2 billion USD. Despite the volatility in net revenue and COGS, gross profit remains consistently positive and generally expands over the period under review.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
SG&A expenses increase steadily over the timeline, with occasional spikes. Starting around 800 million USD in early 2023, these expenses grow further into 2025, reflecting higher operational costs possibly due to expansion efforts or inflation. The increase in SG&A tends to be somewhat proportional to revenue growth but sometimes exhibits sharp increases not directly matched by revenue peaks, indicating possible efficiency or cost management concerns.
Impairment of Assets and Restructuring Costs
There are one-time significant impairment and restructuring charges recorded only in January 2023 and October 2023 quarters, with values of approximately -408 million USD and -75 million USD respectively. These costs negatively impacted operational results in these specific periods.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization expenses appear intermittently and maintain a fairly consistent range after 2020, fluctuating between approximately -1.1 million to -2.2 million USD per quarter. These are relatively small compared to other expenses but represent steady intangible asset costs over time.
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Acquisition-related expenses occur mainly between May 2020 and January 2022, peaking notably at -24 million USD in October 2021. Post this period, these expenses are not recorded, indicating the completion of acquisition activities during this timeframe.
Gain on Disposal of Assets
A singular gain of approximately 10.2 million USD is recorded in May 2022, which may have temporarily enhanced profitability during that quarter.
Income from Operations
Income from operations reflects significant growth overall, with two major peak periods: early 2020 and from early 2023 through 2025. The highest recorded operational income is over 1 billion USD in January 2025, suggesting improving operational efficiency or higher profitability from increased scale despite rising SG&A expenses.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income remains generally positive and increases markedly after mid-2022, reaching nearly 23 million USD in early 2025. This increment contributes modestly but consistently to overall profitability.
Income Before Income Tax Expense
Pre-tax income trends mirror income from operations closely, showing strong gains particularly in 2020 and 2023-2025 periods. The highest pre-tax income exceeds 1 billion USD in early 2025, reinforcing the company's capacity to generate earnings before taxes over time.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense fluctuates significantly, rising in absolute terms in quarters with higher pre-tax income. Taxes reach a peak of over -309 million USD in early 2025, consistent with elevated profitability levels. Periodic reductions in tax expenses align with dips in income before tax, reflecting variable tax obligations tied to earnings.
Net Income
Net income depicts a strong overall growth trajectory with substantial increases starting in 2020 and continuing through 2025. The highest net income surpasses 748 million USD in January 2025. Some quarters, particularly in 2023, show atypical declines or lower net income despite stable or growing revenues, suggesting impact from impairment charges and restructuring costs. Overall, net income growth supports the view of increasing profitability and successful financial performance expansion.
