A significant structural shift in financial performance occurred in the third quarter of 2019, characterized by a substantial and abrupt increase in both revenue and operating expenses. Prior to this inflection point, the company maintained a relatively stable revenue base, whereas the subsequent period reflects a scaled operation with higher absolute profit levels despite a marked increase in overhead and financing costs.

Revenue Growth and Composition
Total revenue experienced a sharp increase in September 2019, rising from 1.51 billion USD to 3.13 billion USD. This upward trajectory continued through December 2021, peaking at 4.26 billion USD. The growth was driven primarily by the Processing and Services segment, which expanded from a quarterly baseline of approximately 1.2 billion USD to over 3.4 billion USD. Product revenue mirrored this trend, scaling from roughly 200 million USD to a range between 690 million and 770 million USD in the later periods.
Gross Profitability and Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue scaled in tandem with the expanded top line. Cost of processing and services increased from approximately 570 million USD per quarter to over 1.4 billion USD. Despite these higher costs, absolute gross profit grew significantly, moving from the 600-700 million USD range pre-2019 to consistently exceeding 1.5 billion USD, eventually reaching 2.17 billion USD by March 2022.
Operating Expenses and Income Volatility
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses saw a dramatic surge coinciding with the September 2019 revenue jump, increasing from approximately 300 million USD per quarter to between 1.3 billion and 1.5 billion USD. This suggests a substantial increase in the operational infrastructure required to support the larger scale of business. Operating income showed significant volatility, dropping to a period low of 165 million USD in June 2020 before recovering strongly to 846 million USD by March 2022, aided in part by periodic gains on the sale of assets.
Financing and Net Earnings
Net interest expense rose sharply following the expansion in 2019, increasing from approximately 45 million USD per quarter to a range of 170-194 million USD, indicating an increase in leverage. Net income attributable to the company was volatile throughout 2020, reaching a low of 2 million USD in June 2020, but ultimately demonstrated a strong recovery, ending the analyzed period at 669 million USD in March 2022.
