The financial results exhibit a pronounced seasonal pattern, with revenue and net income consistently peaking in the December quarters. While product sales remain the primary driver of total net sales, there is a clear strategic transition toward a more diversified revenue stream characterized by the steady and linear growth of the services sector.

Revenue Composition and Growth
Product revenue demonstrates significant volatility linked to seasonal cycles, reaching a peak of 113,743 million US$ in December 2025. In contrast, services revenue shows a consistent upward trajectory, growing from 12,715 million US$ in December 2019 to 30,976 million US$ by March 2026. This steady increase in services indicates a reduction in reliance on hardware cycles and an expansion of recurring revenue streams.
Gross Margin and Cost Structure
Gross margins fluctuate in alignment with quarterly sales volume. The cost of sales for products remains high, though the services segment maintains a significantly higher margin relative to its revenue. The overall gross margin peaked at 69,231 million US$ in December 2025, reflecting the combined effect of high-volume holiday product sales and a matured services ecosystem.
Operating Expense Trends
Research and development expenses show a sustained and aggressive increase, rising from 4,451 million US$ in December 2019 to 11,419 million US$ by March 2026. This trend suggests a long-term commitment to innovation and product development. Selling, general, and administrative expenses have remained relatively stable in comparison, showing more modest growth over the same period.
Operating Income and Net Profitability
Operating income mirrors the seasonality of net sales, with the highest quarterly performance recorded in December 2025 at 50,852 million US$. Net income generally follows this trend, although a notable anomaly occurred in September 2024, where a significant provision for income taxes of 14,874 million US$ led to a sharp decline in net income despite strong operating results.
Long-term Profitability Trajectory
The overall trajectory of net income reflects an expanding base of profitability. From a baseline of 22,236 million US$ in December 2019, the company achieved a peak net income of 42,097 million US$ in December 2025, driven by the scaling of high-margin services and the maintenance of premium product pricing.
