The data indicates that Brinker International Inc. did not report measurable return on total capital in the fiscal periods spanning from December 2020 through March 2024, with all values recorded as missing or unavailable. Starting from June 30, 2024, the return on total capital becomes available and exhibits substantial fluctuations. On June 30, 2024, the return sharply escalates to approximately 643.65%. This trend continues with an even more pronounced increase to about 2,251.97% as of September 30, 2024, reflecting an extraordinary surge in capital efficiency or profitability measures during this quarter. Subsequently, the return diminishes but remains elevated at approximately 288.90% as of December 31, 2024. Further declines are observed in 2025, with the figure dropping to roughly 180.23% on March 31 and further declining to approximately 138.34% by June 30. These variations suggest significant volatility in the company's utilization of total capital for generating returns in recent periods, potentially indicating extraordinary gains, adjustments in capital structure, or other financial dynamics influencing profitability metrics.
