Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI)

The financial data shows the company's revenue and profitability trends over an extended period, reflecting significant fluctuations and varying margins.

Income from operations

The income from operations experienced notable volatility throughout the years. Starting at 29,905 thousand USD in 2007, the figure initially rose substantially in 2008 but then faced a sharp decline in 2009. The income showed intermittent recovery with peaks and troughs until 2016, after which a strong upward trend is observed, culminating in a peak of 1,210,774 thousand USD in 2024. This suggests that operational efficiency and scale improved drastically in recent years.

Net sales

Net sales steadily increased from 420,393 thousand USD in 2007 to 14,989,251 thousand USD in 2024, representing substantial growth over the period. The increase was relatively consistent with only minor fluctuations in some years. This indicates sustained expansion in market demand or business activity. Particularly notable is the acceleration in growth after 2017, which coincides with the significant increase in income from operations.

Operating profit margin

The operating profit margin percentage demonstrates a varied trend with an initial gradual increase from 7.11% in 2007 to a peak of 7.45% in 2008, followed by a decline reaching its lowest points between 2012 and 2015, falling to as low as 2.34%. Thereafter, the margin improved moderately and then surged sharply after 2017, peaking at 10.68% in 2023 before slightly declining to 8.08% in 2024. This indicates improved cost control or pricing power in the latter years, enhancing overall profitability despite earlier margin compression.
