> sales were growing significantly.

"sales" not equal "income from operations", which is why I wondered. Income is revenue less expenses. "From operations" indicates that both revenue and expenses exclude items which are not part of ... well... operations, doing business on a day to day basis, i.e., not income from interest, special charge-offs, etc.

And, sales are not climbing nearly as fast as services and maintenance.
