The analysis of Api Group Corp's pretax margin over the specified periods reveals a notable trend of improvement from 2020 through 2025. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the pretax margin was negative at -9.25%, indicating that the company's operating expenses exceeded its earnings before tax, which reflects unprofitable operations during that period. This negative margin persisted through the subsequent quarters of 2020, albeit with a gradual reduction in negative profitability, registering at -8.59% at September 30, 2020, and improving further to -5.13% by December 31, 2020.

Starting from the first quarter of 2021, the pretax margin transitioned into positive territory, reaching 1.33%, signaling a shift toward profitable operations. This period marked the beginning of a consistent upward trajectory, with margins increasing to 1.46% in June 2021 and maintaining a modest rise through the subsequent quarters—0.75% in September 2021 and 2.01% at year-end 2021. The upward momentum persisted into the first quarter of 2022 at 1.52%, and marginal increases were observed in subsequent quarters: 1.59% in June 2022, 1.68% in September 2022, and a slight decline to 1.42% in December 2022.

In 2023, the pretax margin continued to trend upward, reaching 2.30% in the first quarter, then increasing to 2.71% and 3.10% in the June and September quarters respectively, culminating at 3.35% at year-end. The progressive trend further accelerated in 2024, with margins ascending to 3.72%, 3.94%, 4.29%, and 4.70% across the first four quarters, reflecting ongoing improvement in profitability before experiencing a slight decrease to 4.39% in the first quarter of 2025.

In summary, Api Group Corp's pretax margin has demonstrated a significant turnaround from losses in 2020 to sustained positive profitability reaching over 4% by late 2024. This trend indicates enhanced operational efficiency, improved cost management, or favorable market conditions that collectively contributed to a healthier earnings before tax relative to revenues over the analyzed period.
