Cost of Products Sold
The percentage of net sales attributed to the cost of products sold shows a gradual decreasing trend starting from -68.95% in March 2020 to around -61.63% in March 2025. This indicates an improvement in production efficiency or cost control over the analyzed periods.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales experiences an overall upward trend, rising from 31.05% in March 2020 to a peak of approximately 38.93% in September 2024, followed by a slight decline to 38.37% in March 2025. This reflects increasing profitability at the gross level, benefiting from lower cost of sales and possibly improved pricing or product mix.
Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expenses fluctuate moderately, ranging mostly between -18.06% and -14.78% of net sales, with a slight tendency to increase again toward the later periods, ending near -16.43% in March 2025. Such variation suggests some changes in overhead management but no strong directional trend.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses remain relatively stable as a percentage of net sales, fluctuating around -3.0% to -3.4%. This steady allocation indicates consistent investment in innovation and product development over time.
Gain on Sale of Business
Significant irregular gains are noted in this category, with a peak of 12.53% in June 2021 and smaller gains of 4.61% in March 2020 and 0.5% in March 2022. These one-off gains have temporarily boosted profitability but are not recurring elements in the financial trend.
Operating Income
Operating income as a percentage of net sales shows variability with a sharp increase to 24.7% in September 2021, likely influenced by the gains on sale of businesses. Apart from this peak, operating income generally trends upward from around 14.41% in March 2020 to a sustained range over 18% by the end of the period, highlighting improving operational profitability.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense remains relatively low and stable, generally below -1.0% of net sales and trending downwards in more recent periods, suggesting effective debt management or reduced interest-bearing liabilities.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income or expense displays volatility with occasional positive and negative values but remains a small percentage relative to net sales, implying limited impact on overall results.
Income Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes tracks the movement in operating income, with notable peaks coinciding with gains on business sales. It consistently improves from around 12.97% in early 2020 to a range above 18% in the final periods, indicating enhanced earnings before tax obligations.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense percentages fluctuate and seem to reflect the variability in income before taxes and occasional nonrecurring items. The tax burden tends to be around -2% to -3.3% of net sales, with some outliers such as -9.81% in September 2021, likely linked to the large nonrecurring gains.
Net Income
Net income as a percentage of net sales shows a general upward trend, moving from around 9.15% in March 2020 to peaks above 15% in late 2023 through 2025. This reflects successful margin enhancement initiatives and improved overall profitability.
Net Income for Noncontrolling Interests
Amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests are minor and consistently small negative percentages of net sales, indicating a small share of income is attributable to others outside of the majority shareholders.
Net Income Attributable to Ordinary Shareholders
Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders mirrors the overall net income trend closely, demonstrating solid growth from 9.15% in early 2020 to around 15.12% by March 2025, underscoring strengthening returns for shareholders over time.
