Beginning at 21.76% as of September 30, 2020, it increased progressively, reaching a peak of approximately 36.52% by September 30, 2021, and maintaining a relatively stable high level through December 31, 2021, at 36.57%. This elevated margin persisted into the first half of 2022, with values around 36.41% and 36.06% respectively, before experiencing a decline to 33.28% by September 30, 2022. The margin stabilized somewhat during late 2022 and early 2023, with slight variations around 33%, before decreasing further to approximately 27.98% as of December 31, 2023.
Subsequently, the margin exhibited some recovery, reaching 28.17% by June 30, 2024, and rising to 28.94% by September 30, 2024. It continued an upward trend into 2025, with the margin increasing to 29.60% on December 31, 2024, and further ascending to 32.00% by March 31, 2025, and 33.41% by June 30, 2025. Throughout this period, the net profit margin has shown a general pattern of significant growth from 2020 through 2021, stabilization and slight decline during 2022 and early 2023, followed by a recovery and upward trajectory into 2025.
This trajectory suggests that KLA-Tencor experienced a period of robust profitability margins in 2021 and early 2022, succeeded by a decline possibly attributable to market or operational factors, and then a strategic or operational improvement phase leading into the latter part of 2024 and 2025. Overall, the company's net profit margin has exhibited resilience and adaptability over the observed timeline, reflecting periods of strong profitability interspersed with adjustments possibly related to industry conditions or internal company initiatives.
