Revenue Composition and Gross Profit
The revenue remained constant at 100% throughout the periods. The cost of revenue showed a declining trend from -21.57% in 2020 to -19.21% in 2024, leading to an increase in gross profit from 78.43% to 80.79%. This improvement indicates enhanced efficiency or cost management in generating revenue.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue increased steadily from -34.9% in 2020 to a peak of -45.22% in 2023, followed by a slight reduction to -42.94% in 2024. This suggests a significant and sustained investment in innovation or product development over the years.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased from -35.41% in 2020 to -28.19% in 2024, indicating greater cost control or possibly improved marketing efficiency. Similarly, general and administrative expenses declined from -10.4% to -7.64%, reflecting tighter overhead management.
Overall operating expenses fluctuated but showed a downward adjustment from -80.71% in 2020 to -78.77% in 2024. This decline, despite increased R&D spending, was primarily driven by reductions in sales, marketing, and administrative costs.
Operating Income
Operating income remained negative in the initial years, reaching a low of -3.5% in 2022, but improved thereafter to 2.02% by 2024. This upturn reflects enhanced profitability at the operating level driven by improved gross margin and controlled operating expenses.
Interest and Other Income/Expense
Interest expense as a percentage of revenue steadily decreased from -5.04% in 2020 to -0.26% in 2024, indicating reduced debt levels or more favorable financing terms. Concurrently, interest income increased significantly from 3.52% to 5.79%, enhancing net financial income.
Other income showed variability but an overall positive rising trend from -1.4% in 2020 to 5.58% in 2024. Combined interest and other income improved total non-operating gains, contributing positively to pre-tax income.
Income Before Taxes and Net Income
Income before provision for income taxes switched from negative values (-3.68% in 2020) to positive and increasing profitability, reaching 7.6% by 2024. This transition reflects stronger core operations and favorable non-operating financial results.
Provision for income taxes remained relatively low and stable, under 1% throughout the periods, indicating consistent tax planning or effective tax rates.
Net income followed the improvement pattern of operating and pre-tax income, moving from a loss position (-4.07% in 2020) to a strong positive performance at 6.85% in 2024. This recovery marks a substantial shift to profitability over the analyzed period.
