Cost of sales
The cost of sales as a percentage of sales remained relatively stable across the observed periods, fluctuating mostly within a narrow range of approximately -80.75% to -82.34%. Notably, the highest cost ratio appeared during the quarter ending June 27, 2020, at -82.34%. Following this peak, the cost of sales showed a slight decline, stabilizing around -81.3% in recent periods.
Gross profit
Gross profit margins fluctuated slightly but maintained a general level around 18%. There was a marked decrease during the quarter ending June 27, 2020, down to 17.66%, coinciding with the peak in cost of sales. However, margins recovered somewhat in subsequent quarters, reaching around 18.6% towards the end of the observed timeline, indicating moderate improvement in profitability at the gross level.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales demonstrated variability, with a significant spike evident in the quarter ending June 27, 2020, rising sharply to -23.65%. This increase is an outlier compared to other periods where expenses generally ranged between approximately -13.9% and -16.3%. After this spike, operating expenses returned to more typical levels, trending downwards and showing improvement into 2024, where they approached -13.9%.
Operating income
Operating income was notably affected during the quarter ending June 27, 2020, registering a substantial loss of -6.0% of sales, a sharp contrast to positive figures in other periods. Excluding this disruptive quarter, operating income showed fluctuations primarily between 2% and 5% of sales, with a general upward trend toward the latter part of the timeline, peaking at 4.91% in the quarter ending July 1, 2023, and maintaining relatively strong levels thereafter.
Interest expense
Interest expense as a percentage of sales remained relatively low but showed volatility, spiking to -2.73% in the quarter ending December 26, 2020, and again rising noticeably in several quarters around 2020 and early 2021. Apart from these periods, interest expense hovered typically between approximately -0.5% and -0.8% of sales, indicating general consistency with occasional intermittent increases.
Other income (expense), net
This item exhibited minor negative and positive fluctuations in most quarters. However, a pronounced negative impact was recorded during the quarter ending December 31, 2022, at -1.78% of sales, which deviated substantially from typical values near zero, indicating an unusual expense or loss during that period. Aside from this, other income or expense generally had a negligible effect on sales percentages.
Earnings (loss) before income taxes
Earnings before income taxes closely mirrored operating income trends, with a significant downturn in the quarter ending June 27, 2020, showing a loss of -8.3% of sales. Prior and subsequent quarters mostly remained positive, fluctuating between approximately 0.7% and 4.4%. This recovery trend continued through 2023 and early 2024, reaching 4.86% in the quarter ending July 1, 2023.
Income taxes
Income tax percentages varied, at times showing positive and other times negative values, which suggests instances of tax benefits or credits. The majority of periods reflected tax expenses between -0.2% and -0.95%, with occasional positive values observed in several quarters around 2019 and 2020. These fluctuations indicate variability in taxable income and tax management activities.
Net earnings (loss)
Net earnings generally reflected the operating and pre-tax income trends, maintaining a positive margin mostly between 1.8% and 3.7% of sales. There was a significant net loss of -6.97% during the quarter ending June 27, 2020, aligning with the adverse impacts seen in operating and pre-tax figures. Following this, net earnings recovered steadily, reaching levels above 3.5% in several recent quarters, signaling strengthening profitability post-disruption.
