    MetricYoY ChangeReason

    Total Revenue

    Declined ≈3% (from $2,584,755 to $2,505,488)

    Total Revenue decreased slightly, suggesting a modest contraction in sales volumes or pricing adjustments relative to Q3 2023, signaling a potential leveling off in market demand compared to the previous period.

    Gross Profit

    Declined ≈38% (from $2,027,499 to $1,259,626)

    Gross Profit fell sharply by nearly 38%, indicating significant margin compression possibly caused by increased cost of revenue or reduced pricing power compared to the robust margins of Q3 2023.

    Operating Income

    Declined 48% (from $1,548,699 to $803,494)

    Operating Income dropped by 48% YoY; this drastic decline reflects the impact of lower gross margins and rising operational expenses that eroded profitability compared to the previous period’s performance.

    Net Income

    Dropped ≈50% (from $1,172,591 to $580,885)

    Net Income decreased by roughly 50%, mirroring the deterioration in operating income and suggesting that increased expenses and lower margins in Q3 2024 considerably diminished overall profitability versus Q3 2023.

    Basic Net Income Per Share

    Declined from $1.20 to $0.59

    Basic Net Income Per Share fell significantly, in line with the halved net income, reflecting the diluted earnings on a per-share basis compared to the stronger performance in Q3 2023.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Dropped ≈17% (from $6,157,409 to $5,078,426)

    Cash and Cash Equivalents declined by approximately 17% YoY, likely due to increased cash usage in investing activities or subdued operating cash inflows relative to the higher balances recorded in Q3 2023.

    Total Current Liabilities

    Decreased significantly (from $1,886,934 to $801,961)

    Total Current Liabilities fell markedly, indicating improved short-term financial health; this change suggests effective management of working capital—such as a sizeable reduction in accrued expenses—that improved liquidity compared to Q3 2023.

    Operating Cash Flow

    Negative outflow of $922,141

    Operating Cash Flow turned negative with a net outflow of $922,141, a reversal from the positive flows in Q3 2023, driven by a steep decline in net income and adverse changes in working capital dynamics, highlighting operational challenges that were not evident in the prior period.
