- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin data, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, reveals a generally declining trend over the periods observed. Initially near 64.57%, the margin exhibited fluctuations but predominantly trended downward, reaching approximately 55.68% by the last quarter of 2024. Notably, there was a significant dip during the latter part of 2019, particularly in the third quarter where the margin declined to 56.96%. Post-2020, the margin stabilized somewhat, consistently hovering around the mid-50% range without major volatility.
- Operating Profit Margin
- The operating profit margin showed considerable volatility, especially in the earlier quarters from 2018 through 2020. Beginning at approximately 31.59%, this margin experienced a sharp decline to 17.52% in late 2019 before rebounding strongly above 30% during 2021 and peaking close to 35.88% in the second quarter of 2022. Following this peak, a downward trend was evident, with the margin decreasing to just above 21% by the third quarter of 2023, then moderately recovering to about 27.14% in the final period ending in 2024. This pattern suggests episodic operational challenges impacting profitability during the mid to late 2019, with recovery and some instability thereafter.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin mirrors some of the variability seen in operating margin but remained reasonably resilient throughout. Starting at 18.07%, the net margin decreased to a low of 13.72% in the third quarter of 2019—a period of reduced profitability. From 2020 onwards, the margin progressively increased, reaching a high of approximately 30.52% in the third quarter of 2022, indicating improved bottom-line efficiency. This was followed by a moderate decline toward 20.19% by the third quarter of 2023, before a rebound to around 26.11% in the last observed quarter. Overall, the net margin indicates the company’s ability to regain and sustain profitability despite volatility.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- Return on equity displayed a pronounced peak and subsequent steep decline over the timeline. Starting robustly in late 2018 around 89.35%, ROE surged to an extraordinary high of 132.94% in the second quarter of 2019, signaling exceptional shareholder value generation. However, this was followed by a sharp decline to levels below 40% by mid-2023, indicating diminished efficiency in leveraging equity capital over time. In the final periods of the dataset, ROE stabilized near 39.82%, suggestive of a new normative level but significantly lower than earlier peaks. This trend points to considerable fluctuations in equity returns possibly related to changing capital structure or earnings volatility.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The return on assets showed an initial moderate value around 13.31%, which dipped to 8.49% around the third quarter of 2019 before progressively increasing to a peak near 27.35% in mid-2022. After this peak, ROA tapered somewhat but remained consistently above 15% through 2024. This trend reflects improving asset utilization efficiency over the medium term, achieving higher profitability relative to total asset base, with a slight stabilization toward the most recent periods. The growth in ROA corresponds with gains in net income generation efficiency despite asset levels.

The financial data reveals several trends and insights regarding gross profit, revenues, and gross profit margin over the reported quarters.
- Revenue Trends
- Revenues exhibit a pattern of fluctuation with notable peaks and troughs. There are significant increases in certain quarters, such as June 2019 and September 2020, where revenues nearly doubled compared to immediately preceding quarters. After these spikes, revenues typically retract but maintain a generally higher level in later periods relative to earlier quarters in the dataset. From early 2021 onwards, revenues demonstrate a gradual upward trend reaching a peak around March 2025. Despite seasonal and cyclical fluctuations, the overall trajectory indicates sustained growth over the longer term.
- Gross Profit Behavior
- Gross profit values mirror the fluctuations seen in revenues but with some distinct characteristics. Large spikes in gross profit are observed corresponding with the peak revenue quarters, for instance in June 2019 and September 2020. Post these spikes, gross profits tend to stabilize at levels higher than those observed in the initial periods of the dataset. Over time, gross profit maintains a comparatively stable range, suggesting consistent cost management and pricing strategies despite revenue variability. While there are periodic decreases in gross profit, the general long-term pattern is one of solid profitability aligned to revenue movements.
- Gross Profit Margin Analysis
- The gross profit margin percentage data, although partially unavailable in early periods, can be analyzed from mid-2019 onwards. Margins start at around 64-65%, then show a declining trend through the subsequent quarters, dropping into the mid-50% range by late 2019 and maintaining near that level through to early 2025. This decline may indicate increasing costs of goods sold or pricing pressure despite rising revenues. The stability of margins in the mid-50% range over several years suggests the company has achieved a consistent balance between revenue and cost of sales, though the margin contraction from earlier highs highlights some challenges in maintaining previous profitability levels on a relative basis.
- Overall Financial Performance
- The company displays resilience with growth in revenues and gross profits over the multi-year span, despite evident volatility in quarterly results. The gross profit margin contraction suggests operational factors influencing profitability ratios, which may merit further investigation into cost structures and pricing strategies. Nonetheless, consistent profitability and growing revenues indicate effective management of core business activities amidst a dynamic market environment.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in operating income, revenues, and operating profit margin over the analyzed periods.
- Operating Income
- Operating income displays significant fluctuations across the quarters. There is a pattern of volatile changes, with some peaks and troughs rather than a steady trend. A notable surge occurs around June 2019 and September 2020 with operating income values rising sharply. Post these peaks, operating income generally trends lower with intermittent recoveries, reflecting variability in operational performance. The latest periods suggest a partial recovery with operating income increasing after the dip observed in the previous quarters.
- Revenues
- Revenues follow a similar pattern of volatility, with substantial variations between quarters. Initial quarters show moderate revenue levels, followed by a sharp rise seen in June 2019 and September 2020. Subsequently, revenues experience periods of decline and growth, oscillating without a clear linear trend. In recent periods, revenues demonstrate a rising tendency, especially notable toward the last few quarters, indicating a potential stabilization or growth phase after earlier fluctuations.
- Operating Profit Margin
- Operating profit margin data begin with available values starting from late 2019 and indicate a high margin percentage initially, around the low 30s. While there is some variability, profit margins mostly remain within the 20-35% range. The margins exhibit a slight downward trend during certain periods mid-range in the data, followed by a gradual upward adjustment towards the end of the timeline. This suggests relatively strong cost control and profitability resilience despite fluctuations in income and revenue.
Overall, the financial trends denote a business experiencing cyclical performance impacts, with revenues and operating income subject to quarter-to-quarter variation. Despite these fluctuations, operating profit margins maintain a relatively stable and healthy range, pointing to effective operational management. The partial recoveries in recent quarters may indicate improving conditions or successful strategic adjustments.

The financial data over the observed quarters reveals several notable trends in key performance indicators. Net income exhibits significant fluctuations, with periods of strong growth followed by sharp declines. For instance, there was a peak in net income around the third quarter of 2019, reaching approximately 2,960 million US dollars, which was considerably higher than preceding quarters. Subsequent quarters showed variable performance, with a downward trend evident in some intervals, such as the decline from 3,730 million US dollars in mid-2022 to 1,490 million in late 2023. However, a recovery phase is observed toward the end of the dataset, culminating in 3,180 million US dollars by the first quarter of 2025.
Revenue figures mirror some of the volatility seen in net income, although with less pronounced spikes. Revenues increased markedly during mid-2019, reaching values above 9,000 million US dollars, followed by a period of moderate stability with quarterly revenues fluctuating between roughly 8,000 and 11,000 million US dollars. Notably, the highest recorded revenue occurred near the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025, peaking close to 11,669 million US dollars. Periods of lower revenue around the end of 2022 correspond with dips in net income, indicating a possible direct relationship between sales and overall profitability.
Analysis of the net profit margin shows a generally upward trend over the timeline, highlighting improved profitability efficiency relative to revenue. Initial data from late 2019 onwards shows margins in the range of approximately 13.7% to over 30%, with the highest margins recorded in mid-2022 reaching above 30%. Following this, the margin contracted somewhat but remained robust, maintaining levels mostly above 20%. This suggests effective cost control or enhanced margin contributions from products or services despite revenue volatility.
Overall, the company demonstrates resilience in maintaining a strong net profit margin despite challenges influencing net income and revenue fluctuations. The period from mid-2019 to early 2025 is characterized by cyclical earnings variability offset by steady or improving profitability ratios, which may reflect strategic responses to market conditions or operational efficiencies.

- Net Income Trends
- The net income exhibits significant volatility over the analyzed quarters. Starting at 1068 million US dollars at the end of 2018, it experienced marked fluctuations with notable peaks such as 2960 million in Q3 2020 and a subsequent high of 3730 million in Q2 2022. There are also periods of decline, especially visible around Q1 2020 (468 million) and Q1 2023 (1490 million). Despite these fluctuations, a general upward trajectory is observed from late 2018 through mid-2024, indicating growth in profitability, albeit with irregular cycles.
- Stockholders’ Equity Trends
- Stockholders’ equity shows a steady and consistent increase throughout the periods. From an initial value of 3617 million US dollars at the end of 2018, it grows almost continuously each quarter, reaching 27,728 million by Q3 2024. This reflects sustained capital accumulation and possibly retained earnings contributing to equity growth without significant reversals or stagnations.
- Return on Equity (ROE) Dynamics
- The ROE ratios start being reported from Q4 2019 with extremely high values above 80%, peaking at over 132% in Q2 2020. However, after this initial surge period, a clear declining trend emerges. ROE decreases steadily over the subsequent quarters, dropping to around 33-39% by 2023-2024. Despite this downtrend, ROE levels remain relatively strong, suggesting continued efficient use of equity to generate income, although with diminishing returns compared to earlier quarters.
- Combined Observations
- The data suggests that while net income is subject to considerable fluctuation and ROE shows a declining pattern after initial highs, the equity base grows consistently over time. The diminishing ROE in the context of increasing equity and fluctuating income implies the company might be expanding its equity faster than its net income, potentially signaling capital raising, reinvestments, or changes in profitability dynamics. The persistent growth in equity alongside a still robust but lower ROE indicates a maturing financial profile with more stable capital structure and comparatively moderated profitability efficiency.

- Net Income
- The net income exhibits significant variability across the quarters. Initially, it fluctuated moderately between 663 million and 2,960 million from the end of 2018 through 2020, with notable peaks in September 2019 and September 2020. From 2021 onwards, net income showed a general upward trend, reaching a high of 3,730 million in the second quarter of 2022. However, there was a downward correction following this peak, with net income decreasing to around 1,490 million by the third quarter of 2023. Toward the most recent data points, net income recovered again, rising to 3,180 million by the fourth quarter of 2024, before a slight decline to 2,812 million in the first quarter of 2025. Overall, the net income data indicates periods of strong profitability interrupted by intermittent decreases, reflecting possibly cyclical factors or market dynamics affecting earnings.
- Total Assets
- Total assets display a consistent upward trajectory over the observed periods. Starting around 34,000 million at the end of 2018, total assets increased steadily, surpassing 50,000 million by late 2022. The asset base maintained growth despite some minor fluctuations in mid-2023, continuing upward to approximately 55,575 million by the end of 2024 and stabilizing near 55,372 million in early 2025. This steady increase in total assets suggests ongoing investments and expansion in the company's asset portfolio, signaling capital growth and potentially enhanced operational capacity.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- The ROA metric, recorded intermittently, reveals positive profitability relative to assets throughout the reporting periods. Starting at approximately 13.31% in mid-2019, ROA generally increased, peaking at 27.35% in mid-2022. Although it exhibited slight amplitude in the following quarters, the ratio remained strong, maintaining levels above 14% consistently. Toward the latest quarters, ROA showed a modest upward trend again, finishing near 19.94% in the first quarter of 2025. This pattern indicates an improving efficiency in asset utilization to generate earnings, reflecting effective management and operational performance over time.
- Summary
- The financial data presents a picture of growth and profitability with certain cyclical variations. Net income trends reveal strong earnings growth with some intermittent declines, while total assets steadily increase, underscoring asset accumulation and expansion efforts. ROA improvements suggest enhanced efficiency in asset use to produce profits, reinforcing positive operational outcomes. Collectively, these metrics point to a company exhibiting financial growth and strong profitability with periods of fluctuation characteristic of market or operational cycles.
