Income Statement 
Quarterly Data
The income statement presents information on the financial results of a company business activities over a period of time. The income statement communicates how much revenue the company generated during a period and what cost it incurred in connection with generating that revenue.
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31).
- Net Sales
- Net sales displayed a generally upward trend from early 2020 through mid-2023, increasing from approximately $11.4 billion to over $18 billion by the end of 2022, with a substantial rebound after a dip in early 2023. There was a notable dip in the first quarter of 2023, where sales dropped to about $13.5 billion before recovering robustly to nearly $20 billion by the first quarter of 2024 and maintaining growth thereafter.
- Product and Services Sales
- Product sales fluctuated but largely followed the overall net sales trend, peaking in the final quarters of 2022 and then dipping in early 2023 before recovering sharply. Service sales showed steady growth across the periods, with less volatility compared to product sales, increasing from around $3.2 billion in early 2020 to over $6.2 billion by late 2025.
- Cost of Sales
- The costs of goods sold for both products and services increased over time, generally in line with sales growth. However, product cost of sales showed significant volatility, with a sharp decline early in 2023 corresponding with the dip in product sales, followed by a substantial increase as product sales rebounded. Service cost of sales showed a steadier and more gradual increase throughout the periods.
- Gross Margin
- Gross margin exhibited considerable fluctuations, with a significant drop to $714 million in the first quarter of 2023 aligning with the reduced sales in that quarter. Subsequently, gross margin rebounded and showed strong growth trends, reaching $4.6 billion by the last measured period. This suggests improved profitability alongside sales recovery.
- Operating Profit (Loss)
- Operating profit showed marked variability, including a severe operating loss in mid-2020. After this, it mostly exhibited positive values, peaking multiple times over $2 billion in later years. There was a pronounced loss in the first quarter of 2023 correlating with the dip in sales and margins, before a strong recovery and consistent profitability resumed.
- Research and Development Expenses
- Research and development expenses fluctuated moderately but generally remained within the range of $600 million to $800 million per quarter. No clear upward or downward trend was observed, indicating relatively stable investment in R&D activities.
- Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
- These expenses varied notably, with spikes observed in mid-2020 and some later quarters, but no persistent upward or downward trend. SG&A expenses remained a significant and somewhat volatile component of operating costs.
- Impairments and Extraordinary Items
- There was a substantial goodwill impairment in mid-2020 exceeding $3 billion, contributing to the significant operating loss and net loss observed in that period. Debt extinguishment costs were also recorded at the end of 2021, reflecting one-time expenses impacting that quarter's results.
- Net Income
- Net income was highly volatile, with significant losses in mid-2020 due to impairment charges and operating losses. Subsequently, net income returned to positive territory and generally increased over time, peaking in the last measured quarters. The dip in early 2023 notably affected net income, reflecting the impact of lower operating profit and margin contraction during that period. Discontinued operations minimally influenced net income, with small negative contributions in earlier years and negligible effects afterward.
- Non-Operating Items
- Non-service pension income remained stable, providing a consistent positive contribution near $400 million per quarter. Interest expense fluctuated modestly but remained a significant recurring cost. Non-operating income and expense showed variability but were relatively minor in comparison to operating results.
- Summary of Trends
- The financial data highlights a pattern of growth in net sales and profitability over the analyzed periods, interrupted by sharp declines in mid-2020 and early 2023, primarily driven by a large goodwill impairment and temporary reductions in product sales and operating margins. Post these downturns, both sales and profitability demonstrated strong resilience and continuous recovery. Cost management displayed variability but generally increased in line with sales volumes. R&D and administrative expenses remained comparatively stable, suggesting controlled overhead amid varying revenue levels.
