value-added mix gen.

[Alex Kit]

Доброго времени суток!

Подскажите, пожалуйста, что означает value-added mix (или value mix) в таком контексте (финансовые отчеты компаний):

The segment's performance was impacted by less favorable value-added product mix at national retail customers, even though conversion to value-added products continues in the broader market.

ИЛИ:

The decrease in price was primarily due to a lower value-added mix of products sold which adversely impacted the selling price.

ИЛИ:

The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was due to lower value mix associated with the surge in demand for economy vehicle models in China in recent months.

ИЛИ:
our growth plans are oriented not only around upstream steel capacity expansion in India but also focused on adding downstream capacity and capability which will enhance the value-added mix in our product portfolio.

Спасибо!

Просто чтобы уточнить: это нормально, что ассортимент готовой продукции от отчетного периода к отчетному периоду меняется в сторону более или менее favorable/profitable, влияя на финансовые показатели? К слову, в моем случае этот термин почему-то зачастую идет в связке с volume.

Еще примеры, на всякий случай:

The positive impact of a more profitable value-added product mix, led by a 15 percent increase in US volumes was offset by weaker demand in the European markets.

Company achieved a 13 percent increase in volume, which contributed $3 million in adjusted EBITDA, tempered by a lower value mix.

Improved product mix and higher Chinese volumes partially offset the negative impact of a stronger U.S Dollar.

A more profitable mix of products sold, driven by significantly higher volumes in the Company's global market segments offset the negative impacts of lower regional products volumes.
