The financial performance exhibits significant volatility in profitability margins, characterized by extreme fluctuations between 2020 and 2022, followed by a gradual trend of margin compression through September 2024. The common-size analysis reveals a business model with very high variable costs, where small shifts in the cost of sales significantly impact the bottom line.

Cost of Sales and Inventory Dynamics
Cost of materials and other expenses consistently represent the largest expenditure, typically ranging between 82% and 93% of revenues. A period of acute instability is observed in early 2020, where Lower of Cost or Market (LCM) inventory valuation adjustments caused drastic swings, including a negative impact of 11.50% in March 2020 and a positive adjustment of 21.62% in June 2020. These adjustments contributed to cost of sales exceeding 100% of revenues in several quarters between March 2020 and March 2021, resulting in periodic gross losses.
Operating Expense Management
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, generally remained stable between 3% and 5% of revenues, although a peak of 9.88% occurred in June 2020. General and administrative expenses have remained consistently low, typically hovering below 1% of revenues, suggesting a disciplined approach to overhead costs regardless of the volatility in gross margins.
Operating and Net Profitability Trends
Operating income margins experienced a dramatic cycle of contraction and expansion. Following the losses in 2020 and early 2021, a period of peak profitability was observed throughout 2022, with operating income reaching a high of 12.04% in June 2022. This peak was mirrored in the net income attributable to stockholders, which reached 9.09% in the same period. However, a steady decline is evident from 2023 onward, with net income margins compressing to 1.11% by September 2024.
Interest and Tax Obligations
Interest and debt expenses have remained relatively stable as a percentage of revenue, generally fluctuating between 0.27% and 0.57%, with a brief spike to 1.37% in June 2020. Income tax expenses varied significantly in alignment with profitability, transitioning from tax benefits during loss-making quarters in 2020 to substantial tax expenses during the high-profitability periods of 2022.
