As of May 28, 2023, the pretax margin was 7.61%, indicating the proportion of earnings before taxes relative to revenues at that time. This figure slightly declined to 7.35% by May 31, 2023, suggesting a marginal decrease in profitability before tax within that short interval.
In the subsequent year, the pretax margin experienced a significant decline, dropping to 5.24% by May 26, 2024, and further to 5.06% by May 31, 2024. This decline reflects a decrease in operating efficiency or increased costs impacting pre-tax profitability during the period, leading to a narrower margin.
However, there was a notable recovery by May 31, 2025, when the pretax margin increased substantially to 9.96%. This improvement suggests a strong enhancement in profitability before taxes, possibly driven by better cost management, increased revenues, or other favorable operational factors.
