Gross profit and cost of sales trends
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues initially increased from 66.65% in 2020 to 68.06% in 2021, followed by a decline to 63.35% in 2023, with a slight recovery to 64.81% in 2024. This variation is mirrored by fluctuations in the cost of sales, which decreased from -33.35% to -31.94% in 2021, then rose sharply to -36.65% in 2023, before a modest improvement to -35.19% in 2024. The data suggests increasing pressure on cost of sales post-2021, adversely affecting gross profit margins.
Operating expenses and impairment impacts
Marketing, administration, and research costs as a proportion of net revenues showed an upward trend, rising from -25.99% in 2020 to -29.43% in 2024. An impairment of goodwill only appears in 2023 at -1.89%, implying a one-off non-cash charge that contributed to operating expense growth during that period. Operating income correspondingly declined from 40.66% in 2020 to a low of 32.85% in 2023, before recovering slightly to 35.38% in 2024, indicating reduced operating efficiency and increased expense burden over time.
Interest income and expense
Interest expense as a percentage of net revenues increased notably between 2020 and 2024, from -2.54% to -4.65%, while interest income rose from 0.38% to 1.64% over the same period. Net interest expense decreased slightly from -2.15% in 2020 to -1.85% in 2022 but increased substantially again to -3.02% in both 2023 and 2024. This dynamic reflects higher financing costs prevailing in recent years, partially offset by increased interest income.
Pension and other employee benefit costs
These costs remained relatively low and stable, fluctuating narrowly between -0.08% and -0.37% of net revenues across the specified years, signaling minimal impact on overall profitability from this category.
Earnings before income taxes and provision for income taxes
Earnings before income taxes declined from 38.17% in 2020 to 29.71% in 2023, followed by slight recovery to 32.21% in 2024. Income tax provision as a percentage of net revenues exhibited a downward trend from -8.28% in 2020 to -6.65% in 2023, before increasing to -7.97% in 2024. The reduction in the tax burden through 2023 partially mitigated the decline in pre-tax earnings, but the increase in 2024 contributed to further pressure on net profitability.
Equity investments and impairments
Equity investments and securities income steadily increased from 0.06% to 1.68% of net revenues over the five-year span, highlighting growing income from these sources. However, there was a significant impairment related to the RBH equity investment recorded in 2024 at -6.11%, which negatively impacted overall earnings that year.
Net earnings and attributable earnings trends
Net earnings as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 29.94% in 2020 to 19.81% in 2024. Correspondingly, net earnings attributable to the company declined from 28.08% to 18.63%. Notably, the decline in profitability accelerated from 2022 onwards, coinciding with increases in costs, impairments, and interest expenses. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests showed a gradual reduction from -1.87% to -1.18%, suggesting greater retention of earnings within the company.
