Operating Expense Breakdown

Details core costs like R&D, marketing, and admin, offering insight into how efficiently the company runs and where it’s prioritizing investment.
R&D has trended up consistently, reflecting sustained product investment that supports the Fitness, Aviation and Marine momentum management highlighted. Advertising suddenly falls to zero starting in early‑2024 while SG&A rises materially—suggesting a reclassification of marketing into SG&A (or a shift from measured ad buys to embedded sales/marketing spend) rather than no marketing. Management confirms R&D and SG&A dollar growth but stable expense-to-sales; investors should watch SG&A disclosure and ad spend classification for true marketing intensity and margin risk going forward.
