ELF Beauty Inc's pretax margin has shown fluctuations over the reporting periods. The pretax margin, which reflects the company's efficiency in controlling operating expenses in relation to its revenue, was 8.66% as of March 31, 2020, gradually declining to 2.00% by December 31, 2020. This indicates a decrease in profitability during that period.

Subsequently, there was a recovery with an upward trend in the pretax margin, reaching 15.58% by June 30, 2023. This significant increase suggests improved cost management and operational efficiency, leading to higher profitability for the company.

However, the pretax margin began to decline after June 30, 2023, dropping to 8.65% by December 31, 2024. Despite this decrease in profitability towards the end of the period, ELF Beauty Inc maintained a positive pretax margin, implying that it was able to generate earnings before taxes relative to its revenue.
