2. **Operating Expenses**: NWN's operating expenses were $124.79 million for the quarter.
3. **Cost of Goods Sold**: The cost of goods sold for NWN in Q4 2024 was not provided separately from operating expenses in the report, which indicates that either the company does not have a significant cost of goods sold or it is included within the operating expenses.

The data suggests that NWN's operating expenses were significantly higher than its revenue in Q4 2024. This could indicate a challenging period for the company, as it faced higher costs than it generated in revenue. However, without additional information on the company's specific financial performance and market conditions, it is difficult to provide a more detailed analysis of NWN's financial trends for the quarter.
