Total revenues increased by 23% YoY, reaching $8.5B, primarily driven by a 24% increase in product sales. This growth is attributed to a 29% increase in volume, partially offset by a 2% decrease in net selling price.
Despite the revenue increase, operating income remained relatively flat at $2.047B, indicating rising operating expenses. This is primarily due to a 32% increase in operating expenses, driven by higher amortization from the Horizon acquisition.
Net income increased by 64% YoY, reaching $2.83B, primarily due to a decrease in the effective tax rate from 11.1% to 8.7%. This was partially offset by a decrease in operating income.
