Net Sales Composition
There is a noticeable shift in the composition of net sales from products and services over the analyzed periods. The percentage of net sales from products generally declined from around 80% in early 2018 to below 64% by early 2023. Conversely, net sales from services increased substantially, from 20% to about 36%, indicating a strategic shift or growing emphasis on service-based revenue streams.
Cost of Sales
The combined cost of sales as a percentage of net sales fluctuated but showed a slight upward trend, moving from approximately 36% in early 2018 to around 40.5% by the first quarter of 2023. Cost of product sales and cost of service sales both exhibit variability; product cost as a percentage of net sales generally decreased marginally but experienced spikes notably in late 2018 and late 2019. Cost of service sales gradually increased over time, reaching over 9% by early 2023, suggesting growing expenses in service delivery.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined during late 2018, dropping to a low of about 54%, but generally recovered thereafter to stabilize within the 59% to 63% range in subsequent years. By early 2023, gross margin was around 59.5%, slightly lower than the levels seen in 2018 but relatively stable in recent quarters.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, comprising sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses and research and development (R&D) expenses, fluctuated significantly. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were volatile, with a sharp increase observed between early 2020 and mid-2021, peaking at over 81% in mid-2021 before normalizing to the 33% to 35% range by early 2023. R&D expenses remained relatively consistent, generally oscillating between 17% and 24% of net sales, reflecting steady investment in innovation.
Income from Operations
Income from operations as a percentage of net sales showed considerable variability. Initially positive in 2018 (exceeding 13% in Q1 2018), it declined sharply in late 2018 and 2019, becoming negative at multiple points, notably in late 2019 and mid-2020. Following this, it rebounded moderately but faced further declines in 2021 due to high operating expense ratios, including a significant drop to -42.82% in mid-2021. In recent quarters, operating income stabilized in the positive range between 4.8% and 10.3%.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
This component fluctuated without a clear trend, though significant positive spikes occurred in mid-2021 and mid-2022, reaching above 19% and 21%, respectively. Negative values interspersed the series, indicating periods of expense or losses from non-operational activities.
Income Before Tax and Tax Provision
Income before tax mirrored the operational income trend but with higher variability due to interest and other items. It showed a decline toward negative values in 2019 and 2020, significant negative spikes in mid-2021, and recovery to positive territory by 2022. The tax provision as a percentage of net sales also fluctuated from positive to negative values, indicating variability in tax impacts or benefits corresponding to income swings.
Net Income (Loss)
The net income percentage closely follows the trends in operating and pre-tax income, with strong positive margins in early 2018 followed by periods of decline and losses, notably from mid-2019 through much of 2020 and mid-2021. A notable income recovery occurred in late 2021 and into 2022, with net income as a percentage of net sales reaching peaks over 20%. Nevertheless, the net income percentages appear volatile, ending at around 13.16% in early 2023 compared to the starting point of nearly 13% in early 2018.
