OpEx Expenses Trend Analysis

Slide Content

The slide presents a trend analysis of Operational Expenditures (OpEx) with a focus on selected cost categories such as PEX and Marketing over a 12-month period showcasing seasonal fluctuations. Two line graphs highlight the percentage of PEX and Marketing in revenue with strategic points throughout the year indicating higher percentages during certain months. For instance, PEX expenditure rises in months 4-6, while Marketing expenditure peaks around months 7-9. A comment box suggests that PEX ratio is higher in the summer months and that the Marketing ratio aligns with main promotional campaigns.
