Gross Profit Margin
The gross profit margin exhibits a consistent upward trend from approximately 70.96% at the end of 2018, increasing steadily through the periods to reach above 80% by the end of 2024. This indicates improving efficiency in managing the cost of goods sold relative to revenue over time.
Operating Profit Margin
The operating profit margin demonstrates more variability but an overall positive growth. Beginning around 21.86% in late 2018, it peaks sharply at 42.68% in late 2021, with some fluctuations thereafter. The margin remains robust above 40% in subsequent periods, suggesting stronger operational performance and cost control.
Net Profit Margin
Net profit margin follows a rising pattern from 16.56% in late 2018 to approximately 31.36% by the first quarter of 2025. Despite minor fluctuations, the steady increase reflects improved profitability after all expenses and taxes, indicating effective management of non-operating costs and tax obligations.
Return on Equity (ROE)
ROE shows significant volatility with very high values in 2019 and early 2020, including a peak at 292.77% in mid-2021. Data beyond 2021 is missing, limiting observations for later periods. The early period numbers suggest exceptional returns on shareholders’ equity, possibly due to strong earnings or leverage effects.
Return on Assets (ROA)
The ROA exhibits steady growth from around 13.4% at the end of 2018, rising to nearly 32% by early 2025. This trend indicates increasingly efficient utilization of company assets in generating net income, reaffirming the improving overall performance observed in profit margins.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Gross profit margin = 100 × (Gross profitQ2 2025 + Gross profitQ1 2025 + Gross profitQ4 2024 + Gross profitQ3 2024) ÷ (RevenuesQ2 2025 + RevenuesQ1 2025 + RevenuesQ4 2024 + RevenuesQ3 2024)
= 100 × (411,105 + 352,623 + 364,235 + 359,624) ÷ (498,735 + 439,968 + 453,809 + 447,849) = 80.83%

The financial data reveals several notable trends and patterns over the observed quarterly periods.

Gross Profit
Gross profit exhibits a general upward trend throughout the periods shown. Starting around 186 million US dollars in late 2018, it experiences fluctuations but maintains an overall increase, culminating in over 411 million US dollars by the first quarter of 2025. The data shows periodic quarter-to-quarter variability, with some notable peaks such as in the third quarter of 2020 and another substantial rise from late 2023 onward.
Revenues
Revenues follow a similar upward trajectory, increasing from approximately 262 million US dollars at the end of 2018 to nearly 499 million US dollars by early 2025. Despite some fluctuations, revenues do not show any significant prolonged declines, supporting the upward volumetric growth in the company’s sales or service income.
Gross Profit Margin
The gross profit margin percentage displays a marked improvement over time. While margin data is not provided for the earliest quarters, from mid to late 2019 it begins around 70.96% and consistently rises quarter over quarter. By the first quarter of 2025, the margin reaches above 80%, indicating increasing efficiency or a favorable shift in product mix or pricing power resulting in improved profitability per unit of revenue.

Overall, the financial metrics suggest robust growth in both top-line and gross profit figures, alongside continuous enhancement in profitability efficiency. The steady increase in gross profit margin denotes effective cost management or successful value extraction from revenues. The consistent revenue growth paired with elevated margins signals strengthening operational performance over the multi-year period analyzed.

Revenue Trends
Revenues demonstrate a generally upward trajectory over the analyzed quarters. Beginning at approximately $262 million in December 2018, revenues increase with some fluctuations, reaching nearly $499 million by March 2025. Notable growth periods occur mainly from late 2020 through early 2025, with revenues rising from around $312 million in December 2020 to the high $400 million range at the end of the period. There are occasional dips, but the overall pattern is positive.
Operating Income Trends
Operating income also shows an increasing trend with significant variability. Starting at approximately $49 million in December 2018, it exhibits several substantial rises, such as a peak beyond $194 million in June 2021 and an even higher peak nearing $246 million in March 2025. Some quarters reflect dips in operating income following peak periods, for example in June 2021 and again in late 2023, but the general trend is growth, indicating improving profitability across the timeline.
Operating Profit Margin Trends
Operating profit margin reveals a strong upward trend over the periods for which data is available, beginning from roughly 21.86% in June 2019 and climbing steadily to exceed 44% by March 2025. This indicates that the company is improving its efficiency in generating profit from its revenues, achieving increasingly higher margins despite some fluctuations. The margins generally move consistently upwards without significant decline, reflecting enhanced operational leverage and cost management.
Combined Insights
The concurrent increase in revenues, operating income, and operating profit margin suggests a positive financial performance evolution. The company has managed not only to increase its top line but also to substantially improve profitability ratios, which points to efficient cost control and possibly higher-margin business activities. Variability in operating income despite steady revenue growth may indicate periodic investments or cost fluctuations, but the rising margin indicates these are more than offset by gains in operating efficiency.

The financial data over the observed quarters reveals notable trends in net income, revenues, and net profit margin for the company.

Net Income
Net income shows a general upward trend during the period, starting at 40,007 thousand US dollars at the end of 2018 and reaching 162,615 thousand US dollars by the first quarter of 2025. Despite some fluctuations, there is a significant increase, particularly evident between 2019 and 2021 where net income surged to over 150,000 thousand US dollars in mid-2021. Following this peak, net income stabilizes but remains substantially higher than early periods, indicating strong profitability growth over the years.
Revenues
Revenues demonstrate overall growth from 262,256 thousand US dollars at the close of 2018 to nearly 499,000 thousand US dollars by the start of 2025. The data shows periodic variations with noticeable increases, especially evident from late 2019 onward, where revenues frequently exceed 300,000 thousand US dollars and reach above 450,000 thousand US dollars in recent quarters. This trajectory underscores steady revenue expansion, with some quarters exhibiting sharper jumps consistent with business scale enhancements or market conditions.
Net Profit Margin
The net profit margin, calculated as a percentage, exhibits a clear positive trend starting from the first available figure in September 2019 at approximately 16.56%. The margin steadily improves over time, surpassing 20% by the end of 2019 and reaching nearly 32% in the latter periods. This improvement reflects enhanced operational efficiency or cost management, contributing to higher profitability relative to revenues. The consistent margin increase suggests robust financial performance and efficient profit conversion over the quarters.

Overall, the company demonstrates strong financial health characterized by increasing net income and revenues, complemented by improving profitability margins. This pattern indicates successful business growth and effective margin management throughout the analyzed periods.

The financial data reveals several notable trends and fluctuations across the periods analyzed. Net income shows considerable volatility with a general upward trajectory in the later periods. Starting from approximately 40 million in late 2018, net income experiences sizable increases and dips, reaching above 150 million by early 2025. This reflects a strengthening profitability trend with spikes, particularly noticeable around mid-2021 and thereafter, suggesting periods of robust operational performance or possibly one-time gains.

Stockholders’ equity presents a contrasting picture with significant instability and a downward trend over time. Starting at roughly 228 million at the end of 2018, equity initially rises, peaking in the third quarter of 2020 at over 330 million. However, from this point, equity drastically decreases, turning negative by late 2021 and continuing to decline further into negative territory through to early 2025, ending at over -1.1 billion. This sustained decline indicates substantial accumulated losses, impairments, or distributions exceeding earnings, raising concerns about the company’s capital structure and financial stability.

Return on equity (ROE) data is sparse and only available for selected quarters, showing extremely high values in the periods provided, with peaks such as over 290% at the end of 2020. Such elevated ROE percentages likely reflect the impact of very low or negative equity values in the denominator, which can distort this ratio. Hence, the high ROE figures should be interpreted cautiously, as they may not represent sustainable profitability but rather the consequence of diminished equity bases.

Overall, the company shows improving profitability in terms of net income, but this positive earnings performance contrasts sharply with the deteriorating equity position. The negative equity values suggest ongoing financial or operational challenges that may undermine the firm’s long-term solvency. The combination of rising net income and plunging equity highlights a complex financial dynamic that warrants careful further investigation to understand underlying causes and future risks.

The net income demonstrates a pattern of variability with an overall upward trend from 40,007 thousand US dollars in December 2018 to 162,615 thousand US dollars by March 2025. Initial quarters show moderate fluctuations, while from early 2021 onward, there is a notable increase in net income indicating improved profitability and operational success through this period.

Total assets present a general growth trajectory, starting at 1,305,626 thousand US dollars at the end of 2018 and increasing to 1,835,753 thousand US dollars by March 2025. The asset base expands steadily, with minor declines and stabilizations, particularly around late 2020 and mid-2022. Overall, this points to ongoing investments or accumulation of resources over time.
