- Railway Operating Revenues
- The railway operating revenues remain consistent at 100% across all quarters, serving as the baseline for analysis of the other financial items.
- Purchased Services and Rents
- This expense category generally ranges between approximately -14% and -19% of revenues, showing some volatility. Notably, there are peaks at -19.39% in September 2020 and troughs closer to -14.64% in early 2017 and early 2022. This suggests periods of increased cost pressures as well as some cost containment phases.
- Fuel
- Fuel costs relative to revenues show a declining trend from 2017 through mid-2020, dropping from around -8.27% to a low of -4.03%. However, post-2020, a reversal occurs with fuel expenses rising again to -10.33% by March 2022, indicating increased fuel prices or consumption impacts impacting operating costs more heavily in later periods.
- Cost of Railway Operating Revenues
- The overall cost of railway operating revenues fluctuates between approximately -19% and -25%, with a tendency to increase toward the end of the timeframe, reaching -25.32% in March 2022. This suggests some expansion in costs possibly driven by various components such as purchased services, fuel, and others.
- Gross Profit
- Gross profit as a percentage of revenues fluctuates between the mid-70%s and low 80%s, peaking at 81% in late 2017 and bottoming around 74.6% in late 2019 and early 2022. The general pattern shows relative stability, though with a slight decline toward the final quarters, reflecting rising operating costs marginally outpacing revenue growth.
- Compensation and Benefits
- This component of operating expenses generally declines over time from about -29% in early 2017 to just above -21% by early 2022, indicating improved labor cost efficiency or workforce restructuring reducing relative expense burden.
- Depreciation
- Depreciation consistently accounts for around -10% of revenues, with some fluctuations increasing to over -13% in mid-2020. This suggests possible fluctuations in asset base or accelerated depreciation in specific periods but remains a fairly stable cost driver overall.
- Materials and Other
- This category varies considerably, predominantly falling between -1.93% and -8.16%, with no clear trend but occasional dips signaling inconsistent patterns in material usage or other miscellaneous costs.
- Loss on Asset Disposal
- A significant loss representing -14.67% occurred only in mid-2020, standing out as an exceptional expense impacting that period's financials significantly.
- Income from Railway Operations
- Operating income shows a broad improvement trend from about 30% in early 2017 to a peak near 42% in mid-2021, subsequently declining slightly but remaining robust above 37% through early 2022. This demonstrates enhanced operational profitability, particularly after mid-2020 rebound.
- Other Income (Expense), Net
- This item fluctuates modestly around zero to a high of 2.35% in mid-2020, suggesting occasional gains or income from non-operating activities, but lacks a strong directional trend.
- Interest Expense on Debt
- Interest expense generally holds steady around -5% to -6%, with a notable increase to -7.48% in mid-2020, possibly reflecting increased borrowing costs or debt levels during that period but stabilizing thereafter.
- Income Before Income Taxes
- Income before taxes mirrors operating income trends, ranging from around 25% to over 37%, with a dip in 2020 around 16.61%, indicating the impact of extraordinary events or expenses during that year, but recovering strongly in 2021.
- Income Taxes
- Income tax percentages fluctuate generally between -5% and -11%, with a stark outlier in late 2017 at 115.21%, indicating a one-time tax event or tax adjustment in that period. Otherwise, the tax expense remains relatively stable as a proportion of revenues.
- Net Income
- Net income as a percentage of revenues exhibits variability with a pronounced spike to 148.67% in late 2017, likely the result of extraordinary income or accounting adjustments, followed by more typical ranges between 14% and 29%. The net income recovers steadily after a dip in early 2020 and stabilizes around mid-20%s in recent quarters, reflecting sustained profitability.
