The pretax margin of Edgewell Personal Care Co has shown variability over the past few quarters. The trend indicates that the company experienced a substantial decline in pretax margin in the early part of 2020, possibly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the company has since shown signs of recovery, with the pretax margin gradually improving and stabilizing at around 5-7% in the recent quarters.
The pretax margin measures the profitability of the company before taking into account taxes. A higher pretax margin indicates that the company is efficient in managing its operating expenses relative to its revenue.
