1 Q1 2024 Calculation
Gross profit margin = 100 × (Gross profitQ1 2024 + Gross profitQ4 2023 + Gross profitQ3 2023 + Gross profitQ2 2023) ÷ (RevenuesQ1 2024 + RevenuesQ4 2023 + RevenuesQ3 2023 + RevenuesQ2 2023)
= 100 × (5,623 + 4,751 + 4,659 + 5,122) ÷ (9,935 + 8,631 + 8,451 + 9,275) = 55.54%

= 100 × (2,928 + 1,410 + 1,823 + 2,090) ÷ (9,935 + 8,631 + 8,451 + 9,275) = 22.74%
