    Total Revenue

    Increased from $3.078 billion in Q4 2023 to $17.224 billion in Q4 2024 (460% surge)

    Total revenue surged due to a dramatic jump in business activities including significant operational expansion and additional revenue streams. The previous Q4 2023 figure was relatively low, and the current period reflects a transformation with new initiatives driving an increase, as noted in the revenue figures.

    Operating Income

    Rose from $102 million in Q4 2023 to $4.081 billion in Q4 2024 (approximately 4,000% increase)

    Operating income skyrocketed with margins improving from roughly 3% to about 24%, suggesting a major boost in operational efficiency and profitable integration of new business segments. This improvement contrasts sharply with the minimal operating income in Q4 2023, highlighting the impact of strategic operational initiatives.

    Net Income

    Rebounded from a loss of $184 million in Q4 2023 to $2.812 billion in Q4 2024

    Net income's turnaround was driven by robust operational performance that reversed prior losses. The current period's substantial gains indicate that previous challenges were overcome through enhanced revenue mix and cost management, leading to a significant recovery relative to the negative net income seen in Q4 2023.

    Basic EPS

    Recovered from -$0.55 in Q4 2023 to $1.17 in Q4 2024

    Basic EPS improved markedly as a direct result of the net income rebound and likely benefit from a reduction in weighted average shares outstanding. This recovery underscores both the profitability turnaround and effective capital management compared to the negative EPS in Q4 2023.
