What the Numbers Show
The 49% surge in net profit outpaced the 16% revenue growth, indicating improved operating leverage. While total expenses rose by 14.5%, they remained lower than the growth in net income from operations, allowing pre-tax profits to expand by 35%. This margin expansion suggests efficient cost management despite rising input costs, as consumption of materials increased by 32% but was offset by inventory adjustments and controlled employee benefits.
