Key Considerations The reasoning behind the primary problem being recognized as the shrinking profit margins was due greatly in part to the information provided on the five-year income statement and the nature of the industry. Net income has ranged from a net loss of $1.9 billion in 2009, to a shift in net income of $1.9 billion the following year, to a net loss of $1 billion the most recent reporting year of 2012. DMC has increased their sales from 2008 at $5.2 billion substantially to over $8 billion over the last three reporting years (2010-2012). Although increasing sales are great, they mean close to nothing if DMC has a net loss. Unstable margins make the company unattractive in the investor eye and can lead to a quick decline due to …show more content…
An industry shift is recommended because, DMC core values align with competing with tomorrow’s market not today’s. A shift in channel distribution and customer acquisition could land DMC the first mover’s chair in the industry. Without risk there can be no reward. For …show more content…
Lastly, with the problem of shrinking margins, B2C ecommerce transactions are a solution since they yield much higher margins with no change in costs. The success of sales through an ecommerce strategy can be found through a promising marketing campaign focusing on the core values of quality and pricing and positive industry trends. To ensure the campaign reaches the correct audience the company will first select a narrow market through accurate market research, create a lead generating ad, and follow up until the website receives traffic. While DMC’s revenues will still be at the hand of their customers changing demand, they can reach a broader audience to account for these shifts in demand via the web. This platform will also allow DMC to collect information on consumer trends to further the efficiencies of production. DMC only held $8 billion of the $430 billion dollar electronic component industry in 2010. The industry is predicted to have an 8% growth annually to a potential $628 billion dollars in 2015. DMC can acquire more of the industry by being able to reach more customers regardless of location through the

Although revenues declined in 1999, net income increased by 13% over the prior year. As the graph below illustrates, net income has been volatile in the latter half of the 90 's. Sharp decreases in 1998 and 1999 net income were due to restructuring charges. If these charges had not been incurred, income would have been flat for both years. Efficiency in cost control and inventory management has allowed net income to increase while revenues decreased in 1999. Note that the largest growth rate was 43% in 1997 over the prior year with net income of $795.8 million.
After seeing, the net profit margins go down this lead me to look at the gross profit margin. This tells a different story than net profit margin did. Gross profit margin stays steady throughout the time reviewed. However, we also see that the highest gross profit margin was actually in 2015, that same year had the lowest net profit margin. I found this very interesting; it tells us that the gross profit was good while the net income was not.

Thus, they targeted to achieve $50 billion sales by 2018 fiscal year and 12 percent profit margins by 2015 fiscal year. (Gamble, Peteraf, & Thompson, 2015, p. 371). However, the increases in profit were not last forever. They had the gross profit margin of 24.83 percent in 2014, which was the declines of 6.87 percent compared to the previous year. (Gamble, Peteraf, & Thompson, 2015, p. 368, Exhibit 1). According to Cancino (2015), “We could be facing the largest single-year scale decline in the company’s history with income at barely half of its 2013 peak” (as cited in Chicago
The Group posted a net income of P10.14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to P13.59 million in 2009. The decrease can be attributed to lower restaurant sales and higher operating expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
