Did You Know?
- YoY (Year-over-Year): This is a financial metric often used to compare a company's financial performance in the current period to the same period in the previous year. In this case, the 9% revenue growth in Q4 of the 2023/2024 financial year is compared to the revenue of Q4 in the 2022/2023 financial year.
- Net Profit Attributed to Shareholders: This is the amount of profit that a company retains for its shareholders after accounting for all expenses, taxes, and reinvestments. An increase in this figure indicates improved profitability. Lenovo's net profit attributed to shareholders saw a significant increase of 118% in Q4 of the 2023/2024 financial year.
- Revenue Decline amidst Profit Increase: This situation can occur when a company manages to increase its profit margins (the proportion of revenue remaining after all costs have been deducted) even as its overall revenue decreases. This can be due to various factors such as cost-cutting measures, efficiency improvements, or a shift in product mix towards higher-margin products. Lenovo's full 2023/2024 financial year saw an 8% decline in revenue, but the net profit decreased by a smaller proportion (37%), indicating an improvement in profit margins.
