Cost of Sales
Over the reviewed periods, the cost of sales as a percentage of net sales fluctuates noticeably, generally ranging between approximately -68.69% and -83.22%. There is a notable increase in cost of sales around early 2022, peaking near -83.22%, indicating rising production or procurement costs relative to net sales. This elevated cost trend partially moderates toward the most recent quarters, though it remains higher than the earlier periods.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margins have experienced volatility, initially showing levels around 29-31% but declining significantly at times, with a low near 16.78% in early 2022. After this dip, gross profit percentages show signs of recovery, rising back toward the upper 20% range by mid-2024. This pattern reflects the inverse relationship to the cost of sales trend and suggests pressure on profitability during certain periods, especially around 2021-2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses relative to net sales are highly variable, with some quarters showing expenses above -37%, while others have values closer to -18%. Notably, there are sharp increases in SG&A in mid-2019 and mid-2020, followed by periods of decline. Such swings imply fluctuating operational or administrative spending, which may impact overall profitability in conjunction with gross margin performance.
Asset Impairments
Asset impairments have been sporadically present, with significant negative impacts noted in late 2018 (-30.36%) and sporadic smaller impairments across other periods, generally below -1%. These impairments have likely contributed to the negative impacts on operating earnings and net income during respective quarters.
Gain on Sale of Assets
A gain on sale of assets appears in the latter part of 2020, with positive contributions of 1.2% and 2.1% of net sales in consecutive quarters. This one-time gain may have temporarily enhanced operating earnings and net income during that timeframe.
Operating Earnings (Loss)
Operating earnings exhibit considerable volatility, swinging from positive low single digits percentages (e.g., 2.6% in mid-2018) to substantial losses exceeding -34.74% (mid-2019). While some quarters return to positive territory around 2020 and 2024, the overall trend suggests instability in core operating profitability, affected by fluctuating cost and expense structures alongside impairments.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
The net interest expense component generally shows modest negative values in earlier years, transitioning toward net interest income in recent periods. The latter quarters report positive contributions peaking at 1.69%, which may indicate favorable debt management or investment income influencing overall profitability.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income and expense items are minimal and irregular, with minor negative and positive fluctuations recorded sporadically in recent years, exerting limited impact on total results.
Income Before Income Taxes
Income before taxes broadly follows the pattern of operating earnings, with significant negative outcomes recorded during periods of high impairments and elevated costs, such as late 2018 and mid-2019. Positive pre-tax income occurs intermittently, notably during quarters with reduced impairments and operational improvements.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense shows variability, occasionally providing benefits in certain quarters (e.g., 5.36% in late 2020) that counterbalance pre-tax losses. Overall, tax effects partially mitigate some of the earnings volatility seen across quarters.
Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations exhibits substantial swings consistent with operating earnings behavior, reaching deep negative levels (around -32.17% in mid-2019) and occasionally turning positive, especially in 2020 and 2024. This variability reflects underlying business challenges and occasional recovery phases.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations mostly contribute small positive or near-neutral effects during early periods, with limited presence in latter quarters, indicating minor influence on overall profitability.
Net Income (Loss)
Overall net income trends mirror those of continuing operations, demonstrating significant volatility with steep losses in several quarters, particularly in 2018-2019, followed by some recovery. Recent quarters show mixed results, with occasional positive returns suggesting tentative financial stabilization but continued challenges in achieving consistent profitability.
