Pretax margin = EBT (ttm) ÷ Revenue (ttm)
= $51,000K ÷ $7,988,000K
= 0.64%

Foot Locker Inc's pretax margin, a key profitability metric, has shown a declining trend over the data period, starting at 8.16% on January 31, 2022, and dropping to 0.64% on January 31, 2025. The pretax margin indicates the company's ability to generate profits before taxes relative to its total revenue. The decreasing trend suggests that Foot Locker Inc's profitability has been deteriorating over time, possibly due to factors such as increasing expenses or declining sales. The negative pretax margins in some periods indicate that the company incurred losses before tax during those specific periods. Further analysis of the company's financial performance and operational efficiency may be warranted to address these declining pretax margins and ensure sustainable profitability in the future.
