Sales and Cost of Sales
Sales consistently represent 100% across all periods, providing a stable reference point for analysis. The cost of sales as a percentage of sales has fluctuated within a narrow range, increasing slightly from -81.02% in 2019 to a peak of -82.05% in 2022, then declining slightly to -81.47% in 2024. This indicates a moderate rise in cost pressures up to 2022, followed by some improvement in controlling costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined gradually from 18.98% in 2019 to 17.95% in 2022, reflecting the increased cost of sales during those years. However, it rebounded somewhat to 18.53% by 2024, suggesting improved efficiency or pricing strategies leading to higher gross margins in recent years.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses displayed volatility, rising sharply from -15.1% of sales in 2019 to -17.3% in 2020, likely reflecting increased operational challenges or investments. Subsequently, these expenses steadily decreased to -14.47% by 2024, indicating effective cost management and operational improvements over the last several years.
Operating Income
Operating income as a percentage of sales followed a dip corresponding with the increased operating expenses in 2020, dropping from 3.88% in 2019 to 1.42%. It then showed a consistent recovery, reaching 4.06% by 2024. This positive trend highlights improved profitability at the operating level, driven by both better cost control and increased gross profit margins.
Interest Expense
Interest expense rose significantly from -0.6% in 2019 to -1.72% in 2021, then decreased and stabilized around -0.7% in the subsequent years. This suggests a temporary period of higher debt costs or increased borrowing, followed by deleveraging or refinancing at more favorable terms.
Other Income (Expense), Net
This item remained relatively minor but variable, showing small positive and negative values with no clear trend. Its negligible impact on overall profitability indicates it is not a significant contributor to earnings variability.
Earnings Before Income Taxes (EBIT)
EBIT declined sharply in 2020 alongside operating income and rose steadily thereafter, from 0.55% of sales in 2020 to 3.25% in 2024. This trend mirrors improvements in core operating performance and interest expense management, contributing to stronger pre-tax profitability.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense as a percentage of sales has remained relatively low and stable, fluctuating between -0.12% and -0.77%. The variation does not exhibit a clear trend but marginally increases in proportion to rising earnings before taxes in later years.
Net Earnings
Net earnings experienced a substantial reduction in 2020 to 0.41% of sales but have since improved consistently each year, reaching 2.48% in 2024. The recovery and growth in net profitability reflect the combined effects of operational improvements, cost controls, and effective management of financial expenses.
