According to its financial statements, NoonTalk Media has demonstrated revenue growth for the past three years from FY2020 to FY2022, with revenue at $3.04 million, $3.83 million and $6.37 million for the FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022 respectively.
The company’s earnings, however, stood at $73,939, $189,244 and $22,407 for the FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022 respectively. The plunge in earnings for the FY2022 was attributable to the lower production business segment due to its lower gross profit margin (GPM), as well as other factors.
