Net sales exhibited a gradual growth trajectory from the first quarter of 2017 through the first half of 2021, increasing from 7,685 million to a peak of 8,950 million. Following this peak, revenues entered a phase of stabilization and modest decline, concluding at 8,619 million by September 30, 2022.

Gross Profitability and Margin Stability
Gross profit remained relatively consistent over the analyzed period, typically fluctuating between 3,500 million and 4,300 million. The cost of sales maintained a proportional relationship with net sales, indicating a stable core production cost structure despite fluctuations in total revenue.
Operational Expenditure Patterns
Research, development, and related expenses demonstrated remarkable stability, consistently remaining within the range of 420 million to 540 million per quarter. This suggests a disciplined and constant investment in innovation. Conversely, selling, general, and administrative expenses were highly volatile, with significant anomalies occurring in March 2018 (2,573 million) and June 2022 (3,023 million), both of which exerted substantial downward pressure on operating margins.
Operating Income and Divestiture Impact
Operating income generally ranged between 1,000 million and 2,400 million for most quarters. However, a period of extreme volatility emerged in 2022. Operating income dropped to a period low of 110 million in June 2022, coinciding with a spike in administrative expenses. This was immediately followed by a surge to 4,156 million in September 2022, which was primarily driven by a non-recurring gain on business divestitures totaling 2,724 million.
Net Income Performance
Net income attributable to the company typically fluctuated between 800 million and 1,600 million. The standard trend was disrupted in 2022, where the company reported a sharp decline to 78 million in June followed by an exceptional peak of 3,859 million in September. These fluctuations correlate directly with the volatility in operating income and the realization of significant divestiture gains.
