Analysis of the common-size income statement reveals significant volatility in profitability and operational costs over the period from March 2015 to September 2019. While core revenue serves as the baseline, the margins are heavily influenced by non-recurring charges and structural shifts in the cost base.

Gross Margin Trends
Gross margins remained relatively stable between 18% and 26% for the majority of the period, with a notable dip to 13.84% in December 2017. However, a significant upward shift occurred in the first half of 2019, where gross margins peaked at 36.06% in June 2019, indicating a substantial reduction in the cost of sales relative to net sales.
Operating Expense Analysis
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses exhibited a steady upward trajectory, rising from approximately 6% of net sales in 2015 to nearly 12% by September 2019. Similarly, amortization of intangibles increased from below 1% in 2015 to a peak of 4.61% in June 2019. Research and development expenses remained more consistent, generally fluctuating between 3% and 4% of net sales.
Impact of Non-Recurring Charges
Operating income was frequently disrupted by substantial one-time items. Notable impacts include an asbestos-related charge of 8.55% in December 2016, a restructuring charge of 15.52% in December 2017, and a massive goodwill impairment charge of 21.49% in June 2019. Integration and separation costs also became a persistent drag on earnings starting in 2017, peaking at 6.35% in June 2019.
Operating and Net Income Volatility
Operating income margins fluctuated wildly, ranging from a high of 14.46% in March 2016 to a low of -17.99% in December 2017. Net income available for common stockholders mirrored this volatility, with extreme peaks such as 30.77% in December 2015—driven largely by sundry income—and deep troughs such as -10.44% in June 2019, primarily due to the aforementioned goodwill impairment.
Financial Costs and Other Income
Interest expenses as a percentage of net sales remained relatively stable between 1.4% and 2.3% until 2019, when they climbed to 3.26% by September 2019. Sundry income showed extreme variance, including a peak of 25.62% in December 2015 and a significant negative impact of -11.41% in March 2016, suggesting a reliance on non-operational gains or losses to influence the bottom line.
