As of December 31, 2020, the operating profit margin stood at 12.77%, reflecting a healthy level of profitability.

The most striking change occurred by December 31, 2023, where the operating profit margin unexpectedly surged to an unusually high level of 507.47%, which is significantly above typical industry benchmarks.
