The financial data reflects significant growth and notable fluctuations in key performance metrics over the observed periods. Each metric is analyzed separately below.

Net Income
The net income demonstrates a general upward trajectory from 2008 to 2025. Beginning at approximately $30.8 million in 2008, net income increased steadily with some fluctuations, reaching over $1.81 billion by 2025. Key observations include a marked increase between 2009 and 2012, with net income nearly sixfold rising during this period. Although there was a slight decline in 2015 and 2018, growth resumed strongly afterward, peaking in 2025. This demonstrates enhanced profitability and effective cost management over the long term.
Net Revenue
Net revenue similarly shows consistent growth throughout the timeline. Starting at about $275 million in 2008, the revenue expanded significantly to approximately $10.59 billion by 2025. The increase is relatively steady, with particularly strong growth phases observed from 2010 to 2013 and from 2018 onwards. The rising revenue base indicates successful market expansion and increased sales volume. The data also suggests resilience in revenue generation despite occasional market or economic challenges.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin exhibits variability but generally remains within a moderate to high range for a retail company. Initial margins around 11–13% in the early years improve to a peak of around 19.7% by 2013. Following this peak, margins fluctuate between approximately 9.8% and 16.2%, indicating some variability in profitability relative to revenue. Notably, margins dipped below 10% in 2018 but recovered subsequently. The margin remained above 10% across most years, with an upward trend returning towards the end of the period, reaching over 17% in 2025. These margin fluctuations suggest varying cost pressures and operational efficiencies over time.
