However, the operating profit margin, a measure of efficiency in managing operating expenses, has been variable, with some quarters showing positive margins and others negative. The company has experienced challenges in controlling operating costs, as evidenced by negative margins in several quarters.

Similarly, the pretax margin and net profit margin have also shown fluctuations, with both reaching negative figures in some quarters. This indicates that Chewy Inc has faced challenges in generating profits after accounting for taxes and other expenses.

Overall, while there have been improvements in gross profit margin, Chewy Inc's profitability ratios demonstrate a need for the company to focus on cost management and operational efficiency to enhance its overall profitability in the future.
