The financial performance exhibits a significant recovery and expansion in profitability margins over the analyzed period. After a contraction in margins during late 2021, there is a sustained upward trend in gross profitability and operating efficiency that continues through mid-2026.

Gross Profitability Trends
Gross profit margins experienced a notable decline in 2021, reaching a low of 39.47% in December of that year. This was primarily driven by a rise in the cost of goods sold, which peaked at 60.53% of net sales. Subsequently, a consistent recovery is observed, with gross margins climbing to 48.53% by December 2023 and stabilizing between 48% and 49% throughout 2024, 2025, and into 2026. This suggests a successful mitigation of cost pressures or an increase in pricing power.
Operating Expense Patterns
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses demonstrate a recurring seasonal pattern. A consistent spike in SG&A as a percentage of net sales occurs every December, with peaks reaching 31.84% in 2021, 31.33% in 2022, 35.34% in 2023, and 35.55% in 2024. Outside of these year-end increases, SG&A expenses generally fluctuate between 26% and 31% of net sales.
Operating and Net Income Performance
Operating income margins mirrored the volatility of gross profits and SG&A expenses, hitting a trough of 7.83% in December 2021. However, the margin expanded significantly over time, reaching a peak of 19.95% in June 2024 and remaining robust at 18.13% by June 2026. Net income margins followed a similar trajectory, recovering from 6.38% in late 2021 to peak at 14.19% in June 2024, reflecting overall improved operational leverage.
Interest and Non-Operating Items
Interest expenses remained relatively stable as a percentage of net sales, typically ranging between 1.5% and 2.3%. A slight increase in interest expense as a percentage of sales is observed in late 2025, peaking at 2.35%. Other general income and expenses remained marginal, although a significant negative impact of 1.57% was recorded in December 2023. Impairment charges appeared sporadically, with the most notable occurrences in December 2021, June 2023, December 2023, and December 2025.
