- Revenue Consistency
 - Revenue remained stable at 100% through the analyzed periods, serving as a baseline for evaluating other financial metrics expressed as percentages of revenue.
 - Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
 - The cost of sales decreased steadily from 22.34% in 2020 to 18.69% in 2024, indicating improved cost efficiency. Correspondingly, the gross margin expanded from 77.66% to 81.31%, reflecting enhanced profitability at the gross level.
 - Research and Development Expenses
 - Research and development (R&D) expenses remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 24.35% and 27.29%. A peak occurred in 2023 at 27.29%, but the proportion receded to 24.4% by 2024, suggesting a potential refocus or optimization of R&D spending.
 - Marketing, Selling, and Administrative Expenses
 - These expenses showed a clear declining trend, dropping from 24.94% in 2020 to 19.08% in 2024. This decrease suggests improved operational efficiency or cost-cutting measures in selling and administrative functions.
 - Acquired In-Process Research and Development
 - Significant volatility was observed in this category, with a marked increase to 11.14% in 2023 followed by a reduction to 7.28% in 2024. This spike in 2023 could be linked to strategic acquisitions or intensified investment in acquired research assets.
 - Asset Impairment, Restructuring, and Special Charges

 - Operating Income
 - Operating income as a percentage of revenue fluctuated, peaking at 28.64% in 2024 after a decline to 18.92% in 2023. This rebound indicates improved operational profitability following the prior year's dip.
 - Interest Expense and Income
 - Interest expense showed a slight increase over time, moving from 1.47% in 2020 to 1.73% in 2024, potentially reflecting increased borrowing costs or debt levels. Interest income remained low but showed some variability, peaking at 0.51% in 2023 before retreating slightly.
 - Net Investment Gains (Losses) on Equity Securities
 - Net investment gains turned negative after 2020, with notable losses in 2022 (-1.44%), 2023 (-0.06%), and 2024 (-0.11%), indicating fluctuating investment performance impacting overall earnings.
 - Debt Extinguishment Loss
 - A loss of 1.43% was recorded in 2021, absent in other periods, indicating a one-time cost related to debt refinancing or retirement.
 - Retirement Benefit Plans
 - Contributions or expenses related to retirement benefit plans remained steady, hovering around 1% with minor fluctuations, suggesting stable pension-related financial impact.
 - Other Income and Expenses
 - This category was generally minor and volatile, with both positive and negative swings, reflecting miscellaneous income and expenses that did not consistently impact financials predictably.
 - Income Before Income Taxes
 - This metric tracked closely with operating income, showing a decline to 19.21% in 2023 and subsequent recovery to 28.15% in 2024, signaling an improvement in profitability before tax considerations.
 - Income Taxes
 - Income taxes as a percentage of revenue decreased sharply in 2021 and 2022, around 2%, but increased again to 4.64% by 2024, suggesting changes in taxable income or tax strategies over time.
 - Net Income
 - Net income demonstrated a downward trend post-2020, declining from 25.24% in 2020 to a low of 15.36% in 2023, followed by a recovery to 23.51% in 2024. This pattern indicates initial pressure on profitability followed by a strong rebound.
