Gross Profit Margin
The gross profit margin experienced an initial decline to approximately 76.37% by the end of 2020 after data became available, followed by a steady increase beginning in 2021. Over the subsequent periods until mid-2025, the margin improved consistently, reaching a peak of approximately 81.55% by late 2024 before slightly decreasing to just under 80% by mid-2025. This trend indicates enhanced efficiency in cost management relative to revenues over time.
Operating Profit Margin
Operating profit margin fluctuated significantly during the observed periods. Initial margins were negative, declining to around -5.35% in late 2020. From early 2021, the margin showed a recovery trend, moving into positive territory by mid-2022 with some intermittent declines back into negative values, particularly in late 2022 and early 2023. Post-2023, the margin showed improvement again, peaking slightly above 2.86% in late 2024 before tapering off toward zero by mid-2025. This variability suggests challenges in controlling operating expenses but eventual improvement in operational efficiency.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin followed a broadly similar pattern to the operating margin but with greater volatility. Negative margins peaked in late 2020 and early 2021, dropping to nearly -7.03%. A gradual recovery ensued, with margins entering positive levels around mid-2022, and continuing to improve through late 2024, reaching a high near 7.58%. Margins slightly declined subsequently but remained positive above 4% by mid-2025. This progression indicates a trend towards profitability and improved net income generation after initial losses.
Return on Equity (ROE)
ROE exhibited negative values in the early periods, reaching its lowest point near -5.89% in late 2020. Recovery began in early 2021, with fluctuations continuing through 2022 and 2023, including a brief return to negative territory. Following this, ROE improved considerably, achieving positive values above 7% in late 2024 and remaining positive but slightly declining by mid-2025. This trajectory suggests a return to shareholder value creation after periods of negative returns.
Return on Assets (ROA)
ROA mirrored the trends of ROE but with generally lower magnitude. It was negative through early 2021, hitting lows near -2.59%, before recovering steadily. Positive values emerged around mid-2022, reaching levels above 4% by late 2024. After peaking, ROA saw modest decreases but remained positive above 2% through mid-2025. This reflects improving efficiency in asset utilization contributing to profitability over the analyzed timeframe.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Gross profit margin = 100 × (Gross profitQ2 2025 + Gross profitQ1 2025 + Gross profitQ4 2024 + Gross profitQ3 2024) ÷ (RevenueQ2 2025 + RevenueQ1 2025 + RevenueQ4 2024 + RevenueQ3 2024)
= 100 × (660,782 + 603,925 + 593,549 + 552,260) ÷ (826,760 + 761,553 + 737,727 + 690,016) = 79.92%

The financial data reveals several clear trends in revenue, gross profit, and gross profit margin over the observed quarterly periods.

Revenue
Revenue shows a consistent upward trajectory across all reported quarters. Starting from approximately 131 million US dollars in March 2020, it steadily increased to reach over 826 million US dollars by June 2025. This represents substantial growth, with particularly notable accelerations in some quarterly intervals, reflecting a strong and sustained demand or expansion in the company's operations.
Gross Profit
Gross profit also exhibits a continuous increase from around 105 million US dollars in March 2020 to approximately 661 million US dollars in June 2025. The growth in gross profit aligns closely with revenue growth, indicating effective management of cost of goods sold relative to sales over the period.
Gross Profit Margin
The gross profit margin demonstrates a progressive improvement, rising from around 78.43% in March 2021 to a peak near 81.55% by September 2024. After this, the margin slightly fluctuates but remains above 79%, suggesting enhanced operational efficiency or favorable product mix contributing to higher profitability per dollar of revenue. This gradual margin expansion together with rising revenue suggests scaling benefits and potential cost control improvements.

Overall, the data reflects a robust and improving financial performance characterized by steadily growing revenue and gross profit, accompanied by a strengthening gross profit margin. These trends imply effective growth strategies and operational efficiencies implemented over the analyzed period.

Revenue Trends
Revenue demonstrates a consistent and strong upward trajectory over the analyzed quarters. Starting at $131.2 million in March 2020, it rises steadily each quarter, reaching $826.8 million by June 2025. This indicates sustained growth in top-line performance over the period, with no quarters showing a decline in reported revenue.
Operating Income (Loss) Trends
Operating income exhibits significant volatility throughout the periods. Early quarters in 2020 show positive operating income, followed by sharp operating losses during late 2020 and early 2021, reaching substantial negative values as low as approximately $-34.6 million. Despite intermittent recoveries, including a notable positive spike of $27.7 million in December 2023, operating income remains highly unstable, swinging between profits and losses with no clear long-term stable positive trend. The quarter ending June 2025 reports a considerable loss again, indicating persistent operational challenges in maintaining profitability.
Operating Profit Margin Analysis
Operating profit margin fluctuates widely, reflecting the instability in operating income relative to revenue growth. Initially, margins are negative or near zero, with the worst periods around late 2022 and early 2023 reaching margins around -6.48%. Margins improve subsequently, entering positive territory from mid-2023 onwards, peaking close to 2.86% in December 2024, suggesting episodes of enhanced operational efficiency or cost management. However, margins decline again towards the end of the period, dipping back into negative figures by June 2025, indicating ongoing challenges in sustaining uniform profitability relative to revenue.
Overall Observations
The company's revenue growth is robust and continuous, highlighting successful market expansion or increasing customer demand. Conversely, the fluctuations in operating income and profit margins underscore difficulties in controlling operating expenses or achieving consistent profitability. The pattern of recurring losses interspersed with occasional profits suggests the need for strategic focus on operational leverage to convert revenue growth into sustainable profit growth.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends and insights over the observed periods.

Revenue Growth
Revenue demonstrates a consistent upward trend throughout the period from March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2025. Starting at approximately 131 million USD in early 2020, revenue increased steadily each quarter, reaching over 826 million USD by mid-2025. This pattern indicates robust growth in sales or service delivery over time, reflecting either market expansion, increased transaction volume, pricing power, or a combination of these factors.
Net Income (Loss)
The net income figures show significant volatility. The company experienced substantial losses in several quarters throughout 2020 and 2022, including a peak net loss of around 29 million USD in December 2022. However, beginning in late 2021 and continuing into 2023, net income improved markedly, turning positive in several quarters and reaching a high of nearly 54 million USD in June 2024. This upward movement toward profitability indicates an improving cost structure, increased operational efficiency, or higher revenue quality. Nevertheless, fluctuations continue, as evidenced by lower net income values in some of the more recent quarters.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin follows a variable but generally improving trajectory. Negative margins were present in many quarters between 2020 and early 2023, with the lowest margin around -7.03% in March 2021. Starting in late 2021, margins began to recover, crossing into positive territory in the first quarter of 2022 and improving significantly to over 7% by late 2024. This progression suggests enhanced profitability relative to revenue, possibly due to scaling effects, improved pricing, or cost efficiencies. Despite this improvement, there is a noted decline in margin towards mid-2025, which could merit further investigation.

Net Income (Loss) Trend
The net income exhibits significant volatility over the observed periods. Initially, there was a positive net income of 6,479 thousand USD in March 2020, followed by a sharp decline resulting in negative figures through the rest of 2020 and the first half of 2021. From mid-2021 to early 2022, performance improved temporarily, with net income turning positive again in December 2021 and March 2022. However, this improvement was short-lived, as net income reverted to negative territory for the majority of 2022 and early 2023. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, net income turned sharply positive and remained strong, peaking at 53,993 thousand USD in June 2024, followed by some fluctuations but generally maintaining positive profitability into mid-2025. This pattern suggests periods of operational challenges followed by phases of recovery and robust profitability.
Stockholders’ Equity Growth
Stockholders' equity shows a consistent and steady upward trajectory across all reporting periods. Beginning at 802,895 thousand USD in March 2020, the equity base increased every quarter, reaching 3,195,757 thousand USD by June 2025. This growth indicates ongoing capital accumulation and retained earnings contributing positively to the company's net asset base. The persistence of this upward trend reflects sustained investment and/or profitable operations over the long term despite fluctuations in net income.
Return on Equity (ROE) Analysis
Return on Equity figures reveal fluctuations in profitability relative to shareholders’ equity. Values were mostly negative throughout 2020 and 2021, reaching lows around -5.89% and -5.55%, indicating periods of loss or poor returns on equity. Starting around late 2022, ROE began to improve, turning positive by early 2023 and continuing a general upward trend thereafter. The ROE peaked at 7.31% in late 2024, signifying improved efficiency in generating returns on equity. The subsequent decline to 3.9% by mid-2025 suggests some moderation but overall positive returns compared to earlier periods, aligning with the observed net income recovery.
Overall Observations
The data reflect an initial phase marked by losses and low returns on equity while the company was likely investing in growth or facing operational challenges. This was followed by a phase of recovery and profitability beginning around 2023, accompanied by the strengthening of ROE. Consistent growth in stockholders' equity throughout the timeline suggests sustained capitalization, which supports financial stability. The oscillations in net income and ROE underscore the volatility in profitability, but the recent positive trends point toward improved financial performance and effective capital utilization.

Net Income (Loss) Trends
The net income exhibited considerable fluctuations over the analyzed quarters. Initially positive in early 2020, the company experienced significant losses through late 2020 and into 2021, with some quarters showing recovery such as the positive net income in December 2021 and March 2022. However, subsequent quarters reflected volatility, including large losses in late 2022. From the first quarter of 2023, there was a marked improvement, peaking in mid-2023 with net income rising to over $53 million. Despite some declines in late 2023 and 2024, net income remained positive, though it decreased sharply towards mid-2025.
Total Assets Evolution
Total assets consistently increased throughout the entire period, demonstrating steady growth. From roughly $1.07 billion in March 2020, assets nearly doubled by the end of 2021. The upward trajectory continued through 2022 and into 2023, reaching approximately $3.95 billion by December 2023. Growth persisted into 2024, surpassing $5.7 billion by the first quarter of 2025 before slightly declining by mid-2025. This general expansion indicates ongoing investment or accumulation of resources over time.
Return on Assets (ROA) Pattern
ROA values were absent in early 2020 and initiated as negative starting in the third quarter of 2020, indicating the company experienced losses relative to its asset base during this period. The negative trend deepened through 2021, reaching its lowest points in late 2021 and early 2022. From mid-2022 onwards, ROA began a gradual recovery, turning positive in the first quarter of 2023. A clear upward trend in profitability relative to assets is evident through 2023 and into 2024, peaking at over 4% by late 2024. Although there was a slight decrease afterwards, the values remained positive, suggesting improving efficiency in asset utilization despite fluctuations in net income levels.
Overall Insights
The data reveals a company that, while initially facing operational losses and negative returns on assets, has shown considerable recovery and growth in asset base. The volatility in net income contrasts with the steady asset growth, suggesting possible investments financed through means other than immediate income generation. The improving ROA from 2023 onward points to enhanced asset efficiency and profitability. The downward adjustment in net income and total assets towards mid-2025 warrants monitoring to understand whether this is a short-term fluctuation or a sign of a trend reversal.
