Sustained higher gross margins provide structural resilience, allowing the company to absorb SG&A and financing costs and improve long-term operating leverage.

If maintained, this supports stronger shareholder returns and indicates the business can generate attractive profits from existing equity, aiding reinvestment and long-term value creation.
