- The Pretax Margin demonstrated a consistent ascent from September 2023 to June 2024, suggesting effective management of both gross and operating expenses. However, a negative turn in the last two quarters of 2024 indicates the company faced challenges in generating pre-tax profits during this period.

- The Net Profit Margin mirrored the trend of the Pretax Margin, showcasing growth from September 2023 to June 2024 before turning negative in the last two quarters of 2024. This suggests that despite operational improvements, the company struggled to maintain profitability after accounting for taxes and other expenses.
