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.Both SG&A and R&D have stepped up since 2023 — SG&A shows larger, uneven jumps while R&D stays elevated with recurring year‑end peaks — consistent with management’s disclosed investments to expand capacity, AI/connected‑factory rollout and one‑time costs (tariffs, restructuring, powder‑metal items). Crucially, these higher expenses are being deployed to support substantial backlog and production growth: management raised sales and EPS guidance and reported margin expansion, but watch near‑term cash conversion and framework contract risk as the expense base ramps ahead of some contract conversions.
