The data regarding Brinker International Inc’s return on total capital over the specified period indicates a significant fluctuation in the company's profitability relative to its total capital base. For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2021, June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2023, the return on total capital is reported as not available or not disclosed ("—"). This absence of data suggests that during these periods, the company either had negligible or negative earnings, or the return was not calculated or reported due to insufficient data or accounting considerations.
In contrast, a notable surge in return on total capital is observed starting in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, with a remarkably high value of 583.50%. This indicates that in that period, Brinker International significantly enhanced its profitability relative to its overall capital employed, potentially through operational improvements, strategic asset management, or other financial restructuring efforts that dramatically increased its income efficiency.
The subsequent fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, shows a considerable decline from the peak at 137.34%. Although still a high figure relative to typical industry standards, this decrease suggests some normalization or adjustments following the extraordinary surge in the prior year, possibly reflecting changing operational circumstances, market conditions, or the impact of re-evaluations of capital or income figures.
Overall, the data demonstrates that Brinker International experienced a period of extraordinary return on total capital in 2024, followed by a notable but reduced level of return in 2025. The absence of data in prior years underscores that the company’s recent periods reflect their most remarkable financial performance in terms of total capital efficiency.
