The return on equity (ROE) for Brinker International Inc. exhibits significant variation over the analyzed period, with a notable absence of data for fiscal years ending June 30, 2021, through June 30, 2023. This absence suggests a lack of reported or calculable ROE figures during those years, potentially due to factors such as negative net income, equity restructuring, or incomplete financial disclosures.

Starting from June 30, 2024, the ROE demonstrates an extraordinary increase to 394.16%, indicating a substantial enhancement in the company's profitability relative to its equity base. Such a high ROE suggests that Brinker International achieved an exceptionally high net income relative to shareholders’ equity during this period, which could be driven by exceptional operational performance, significant non-recurring gains, or structural changes that favorably impacted net income.

In the subsequent year, ending June 30, 2025, the ROE declines markedly but remains substantially elevated at 103.29%. Although lower than the previous year's peak, this figure still indicates a highly profitable position relative to shareholders’ equity, reflecting sustained strong profitability but perhaps moderated by factors such as increased equity base, reduced net income margins, or strategic adjustments.

Overall, the data indicates a period of dramatic profitability improvement culminating in a peak in fiscal year 2024, followed by a notable but still robust decline in 2025. The absence of prior data complicates the analysis, but the figures from 2024 onward suggest a period of exceptional financial performance or structural changes that greatly amplified the company's return on equity in recent years.
