1: Amount and Revenue Analysis:

Sum of Amount by Quarter:

This line chart shows the total amount processed each quarter, highlighting a downward trend from Q1 ($217M) to Q4 ($166M). The trend suggests a decrease in transaction volumes or values as the year progresses.

Sum of Amount by Month:

This line chart further breaks down the amount processed on a monthly basis, showing peaks in January ($75M) and May ($74M), with a noticeable decline in the latter half of the year, stabilizing at $54M to $56M per month. This could indicate seasonality in the business or external market factors affecting revenue.

Revenue by Quarter:

The first quarter starts strong with $435M in revenue, but there is a noticeable decline in Q2 to $407M. The most significant drop occurs between Q2 and Q3, with revenue falling to $334M. Revenue stabilizes in Q4, remaining constant at $334M. This decline may indicate seasonal factors, reduced demand, or other external market conditions impacting sales. The stabilization in Q4 suggests that the company has managed to maintain revenue levels despite the challenges faced in Q3.

Revenue by Month:

Revenue dips in March to $136M but recovers in April and May, both of which again hit $149M. From June onwards, there is a steady decline, with the lowest revenue recorded in October ($109M) and November ($107M). December shows a slight recovery to $113M, which may suggest the beginning of a seasonal uptick or improved market conditions.
