Revenue analysis indicates a consistent long-term upward trajectory, with net sales increasing from $6.11 billion in May 2018 to $10.21 billion by August 2024. A significant acceleration in growth was observed during the second quarter of 2020, coinciding with a sharp increase in sales that established a new baseline for quarterly revenue.

Gross Profitability
Gross profit has scaled in tandem with net sales, growing from $1.86 billion in May 2018 to $3.06 billion in August 2024. The stability of this relationship suggests that the cost of goods sold has remained proportional to sales growth, maintaining a relatively consistent gross margin throughout the period.
Operating Expense Trends
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses have exhibited a steady and aggressive increase, rising from $1.37 billion in May 2018 to $2.51 billion in August 2024. This growth in operational overhead has outpaced the growth of gross profit in recent periods, leading to a contraction in operating margins. Operating profit peaked at $1.04 billion in July 2020 but faced a downward trend that reached a trough of $433.5 million in November 2023, before recovering to approximately $550 million in 2024.
Debt and Financing Costs
Net interest expenses have increased significantly over the analyzed timeframe. Expenses rose from $24.8 million in May 2018 to a peak of $84.3 million in August 2023. Although a slight decline to $68.1 million was recorded by August 2024, the overall increase in financing costs has reduced the conversion of operating profit to net income.
Net Income Performance
Net income demonstrated substantial volatility, peaking at $787.6 million in July 2020. Following this peak, profitability declined steadily, hitting a minimum of $276.2 million in November 2023. The most recent data shows a recovery trend, with net income rising to $374.2 million in August 2024, though it remains well below the peaks observed during the 2020-2021 period.
