Cost of Sales
The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales demonstrated a generally declining trend from about -60.11% at the end of 2013, improving steadily to around -56.26% by mid-2018. Thereafter, the cost of sales percentages stabilized in the range between -57.19% and -57.95% towards the early months of 2020, indicating a slightly increased cost burden compared to mid-2018 levels.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin showed an increasing trend overall, starting at 39.89% of net sales at the end of 2013 and peaking above 43% intermittently from late 2015 through 2018. The margin remained relatively stable in the low 40s percentage range, ending at approximately 42.05% as of March 2020, which represents an improvement relative to the initial periods.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales fluctuated considerably, ranging from a high near -27% in late 2019 to lows around -20.38% in late 2014. The expenses exhibited a pattern of volatility without a clear sustainable trend, though sporadic peaks suggest occasional cost pressures. By early 2020, SG&A figures were around -23.62%, indicating a moderate expense level relative to sales.
Gain on Sale of Business
There was a significant gain recorded during the first half of 2015, notably 17.26% of net sales in March 2015 and a smaller gain of 1.84% in September 2015. No other periods showed realizations of similar magnitude, indicating that these gains were likely non-recurring and had a material but temporary impact on profitability in that timeframe.
Goodwill Impairment and Other Deductions
A notable goodwill impairment of -7.46% was recorded in the third quarter of 2014. Other deductions fluctuated, generally ranging from about -0.95% to -4.28% of net sales, with occasional spikes such as -4.29% in March 2020. These adjustments have intermittently exerted downward pressure on earnings.
Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Interest and Income Taxes
This metric displayed variability but generally stayed within the 12% to 19% range through most periods. Exceptionally, a spike to over 30% occurred in March 2015, coinciding with the gain from the business sale. Apart from this outlier, the earnings margin maintained a modest improvement over the years, ending slightly above 17% in early 2020.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income remained low and stable, mostly under 0.33% of net sales, while interest expense showed a small overall increase during the period analyzed, from about -1.09% to around -1.01%. Net interest expense remained under 1%, showing modest fluctuations but no significant underlying trend.
Earnings Before Income Taxes
This earnings measure followed a similar pattern to earnings before interest and income taxes, with an outlier increase near 30% in March 2015 due to non-recurring gains. Outside of this, earnings before taxes mostly fluctuated between approximately 11% and 17%, showing moderate improvement towards the end of the data period.
Income Taxes
Income taxes as a percentage of net sales exhibited notable volatility, with spikes such as -11.57% in March 2015 and relatively low values near -1.1% in mid-2018. The variability suggests fluctuating effective tax rates driven by changes in earnings composition and possibly tax planning outcomes.
Earnings from Continuing Operations
These earnings showed a positive trajectory with fluctuations, rising from around 8.51% at the end of 2013 to peaks exceeding 16% in mid-2018. However, the margin fell to lower levels approaching 7.93% in late 2019 before recovering to approximately 12.59% by March 2020, indicating some volatility but an overall gradual improvement.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations reflected minor impacts, mostly small positive or negative percentages relative to net sales ranging between ±2.35% in some quarters between 2015 and 2017. These effects appear marginal and episodic.
Net Earnings
Net earnings as a percentage of net sales followed a pattern consistent with earnings from continuing operations, ranging from 6.10% to 16.14% with marked increases around early 2015 due to non-recurring gains. The broader trend reflects improving profitability over time with intermittent volatility, ending at 12.59% by March 2020.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in earnings of subsidiaries generally represented a small, stable negative percentage, fluctuating between about -0.05% and -0.3%, indicating a modest and relatively consistent share of earnings attributable to minority interests.
Net Earnings Attributable to Common Stockholders
This measure closely parallels overall net earnings, maintaining a steady presence between roughly 6% and 16% of net sales. After a peak in 2015, the margin showed some variability but generally improved over the years, indicating an upward trend in profitability available to common equity holders, concluding near 12.42% in early 2020.
