Latest Quarter Info

For the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated solid top-line momentum, achieving revenue growth of 5.1% sequentially and 10.5% year-over-year. This expansion in sales volume underscores a consistent demand environment. However, profitability trends present a more complex picture. While the operating margin remains stable at 13%, the bottom line experienced contraction, with net profit declining 18.2% quarter-over-quarter and 3.7% year-over-year. This divergence between revenue growth and net earnings is largely attributable to significant interest obligations and a tax burden of 34%, which collectively weighed on the final profit margins. Consequently, earnings per share mirrored the net profit trend, showing a sequential decline of 18.1%. The results highlight a period where robust operational throughput was offset by elevated non-operating costs and fiscal outflows, resulting in a mixed performance profile for the quarter.
