➜ Profitability varies by region and product. While some regions and sub-categories consistently perform well, others exhibit patterns of sustained losses that warrant corrective action.
➜ Discounting can lead to losses. The correlation between discount rates and profit margins suggests that discount policies should be carefully managed to prevent unnecessary losses.
