Revenue Composition
Over the five-year period, the percentage of revenue derived from product sales decreased initially from 37.44% in 2018 to 35.32% in 2020, followed by an increase to 40.31% in 2022. Conversely, service revenue as a percentage of total revenue rose steadily from 62.56% in 2018 to 64.68% in 2020, then declined to 59.69% by 2022. This indicates a shift in the revenue mix with an increasing emphasis on product sales in the later years.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
The cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue saw a decline from -25.01% in 2018 to -21.97% in 2020, suggesting improved cost management or operational efficiencies. However, it increased again to -24.56% by 2022. Gross profit correspondingly increased from 74.99% in 2018 to a peak of 78.03% in 2020, before decreasing to 75.44% in 2022, reflecting the fluctuations in cost of revenue.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses showed a consistent downward trend as a percentage of revenue, decreasing from -62.17% in 2018 to -53.49% in 2022. This reduction is primarily driven by decreases in:
- Research and Development expenses, from -13.57% to -11.6%
- Sales and Marketing expenses, from -43.43% to -38.17%
- General and Administrative expenses, from -5.16% to -3.83%
Additionally, one-time gains related to intellectual property increased slightly in 2020 but then declined in subsequent years. Overall, the decrease in operating expenses indicates improved operational efficiency.
Profitability
Operating income improved over the period, rising from 12.82% in 2018 to 21.95% in 2022, with a peak in 2020 at 20.5%. This reflects the combined effects of margin expansion and reduced operating expenses. Income before taxes and loss from equity method investment also increased from 13.93% to 21.63%, showing stronger pre-tax profitability.
Interest and Other Income/Expenses
Interest income fluctuated, peaking at 1.97% in 2019 but declining thereafter to 0.39% in 2022. Interest expense appeared beginning 2021 at relatively low negative levels (-0.45% and -0.41%), indicating some debt-related costs. Other net expenses remained relatively stable and small as a percentage of revenue throughout the period.
Taxation and Equity Investments
The provision for income taxes shifted from a positive 4.51% in 2018, indicating tax benefits, to negative percentages (tax expenses) in subsequent years, reaching -0.7% in 2022. Loss from equity method investments emerged in 2021 and increased in 2022 to -1.54%, indicating adverse performance or valuation of these investments.
Net Income
Net income attributable to the company fluctuated, declining from 18.44% in 2018 to 15.14% in 2019, then increasing to 19.41% by 2022. This pattern suggests recovery and strengthening profitability after a dip in 2019. Net income including non-controlling interests mirrored this trend closely.
