From the data provided, Avista Corporation's net profit margin has shown some fluctuation over the past few years. The net profit margin represents the percentage of revenue that translates into profit after all expenses have been deducted.

Initially, the net profit margin ranged between 9.24% to 9.80% throughout 2020. It then experienced an increase in the first quarter of 2021, reaching 11.09%, but gradually decreased over the next few quarters, stabilizing around 10% for some time.

However, in the second quarter of 2022, there was a notable drop in the net profit margin to 9.45%, followed by a further decline to 7.85% in the third quarter of the same year. This significant decrease could indicate potential challenges or inefficiencies impacting Avista Corporation's profitability during that period.

Subsequently, there was a slight recovery with the net profit margin improving to 9.07% by the end of 2022. From 2023 onwards, the net profit margin fluctuated within the range of 8% to 10.25%, showing some variability but generally remaining above 9%.

Overall, the trend in the net profit margin suggests that Avista Corporation has been able to maintain a decent level of profitability, although there have been periods of both growth and decline. It is important for the company to closely monitor its expenses and revenue generation to ensure sustainable and consistent profitability in the future.
