Adeia Corp's profitability ratios have displayed significant fluctuations over the past few quarters. The gross profit margin, which indicates the percentage of revenue retained after accounting for the cost of goods sold, has been inconsistent, with a marked decline in profitability in the second and third quarters of 2023.

The operating profit margin, which measures the company's ability to generate profits from its core operations, has also shown variability but generally remained positive, indicating operational efficiency in most quarters. However, there was a notable decrease in the margin in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The pretax margin, reflecting the percentage of income before taxes relative to total revenue, exhibited substantial volatility, with significant losses recorded in the second and third quarters of 2023 and the previous year's fourth quarter. These results raise concerns about the company's ability to manage operational expenses and other costs effectively during these periods.

Lastly, the net profit margin, which indicates the percentage of revenue that translates into net income, demonstrated fluctuations but generally remained positive except for significant losses in the second and third quarters of 2023 and a substantial loss in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Overall, Adeia Corp's profitability ratios suggest instability in financial performance, highlighting the need for the company to focus on cost management, revenue generation, and overall operational efficiency to enhance profitability and long-term sustainability.
