Net sales
Net sales demonstrated a general upward trend from March 2018 through June 2021, rising significantly from approximately $1.7 billion in early 2018 to a peak above $5.5 billion by mid-2021. This increase was followed by volatility, with a notable decline in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, reaching around $4.35 billion by early 2023, before stabilizing at approximately $4.5 billion at the end of the observed period.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased broadly in line with net sales, moving from nearly $1.29 billion in early 2018 to a high of about $4.9 billion in mid-2022. Despite some fluctuations, costs exhibited a strong positive correlation with sales, peaking around late 2021 and mid-2022 before falling to approximately $2.95 billion by the third quarter of 2023.
Gross margin
The gross margin reflected growth from about $411 million in early 2018 to peaks exceeding $2.4 billion in mid-2022, indicating improved profitability at the gross level. However, there were periods of contraction, especially in late 2022 and early 2023, with margins declining to roughly $1.5 billion by the third quarter of 2023. The fluctuations suggest periods of margin pressure despite overall growth over the time span.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses increased substantially over the period, starting from approximately $359 million in early 2018 and rising sharply to over $1 billion by mid-2022. There was a significant jump in expenses beginning in 2020, likely due to expanded operational activities or inflationary impacts, with some reductions observed towards the third quarter of 2023, where expenses stood near $939 million.
Income from operations
Income from operations showed considerable growth, especially from 2020 onwards, rising from about $52 million in early 2018 to peaks above $1.36 billion in mid-2022. Despite this growth, the figure showed volatility in line with sales and cost trends, with declines occurring in early 2023 before a modest recovery by the third quarter of 2023.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense remained relatively stable from 2018 through 2019 but experienced a notable spike in the first quarter of 2020, approximately doubling the earlier averages. This elevated level persisted with fluctuations, reaching highs above $70 million in mid-2022. The overall trend suggests increased debt costs or borrowing levels, with a slight reduction observed by the third quarter of 2023.
Income before income taxes
Income before income taxes mirrored operating income trends, moving from around $25 million in early 2018 to more than $1.29 billion by mid-2022, with periods of volatility and declines that generally followed variations in operating results and interest expenses. The figure declined to roughly $425 million by mid-2023 but showed signs of recovery towards the end of the reported period.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense exhibited high variability throughout the period, with some quarters showing relatively low tax charges and others presenting significant expenses exceeding $300 million by mid-2022. The trend suggests that tax liabilities fluctuated with profitability and possibly tax planning strategies, with a noticeable downward trend in tax expense in early 2023.
Net income
Net income followed an overall positive trajectory, increasing from approximately $23 million in early 2018 to a peak near $987 million in mid-2022, reflecting strong profitability growth. Following this peak, net income decreased notably in early 2023 to about $333 million but showed an upward adjustment thereafter, ending around $451 million by the third quarter of 2023. This pattern indicates fluctuations in operational efficiency, cost management, and tax impacts during the latest periods.
