The profitability ratios of Fox Factory Holding Corp have exhibited some fluctuations over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023.

The Gross Profit Margin, which indicates the percentage of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold, has been relatively stable around the early 30% range, with a slight decrease from 2019 to 2023.

The Operating Profit Margin, which represents the percentage of each dollar of revenue that results in operating income, shows more variability, peaking in 2022 before declining in 2023. This could suggest that operational expenses increased relative to revenue in the most recent year.

The Pretax Margin, which reflects the company's profitability before taxes, also demonstrates fluctuations over the period, with a notable decrease in 2023 compared to the peak in 2022.

The Net Profit Margin, which measures the proportion of revenue that remains as net income after all expenses are deducted, follows a similar trend to the Pretax Margin, with a decrease in profitability seen in 2023 compared to the peak in 2022.

Overall, while the company has maintained relatively healthy profitability margins, there are signs of some recent decline in profitability in 2023 compared to the prior years, which may warrant further investigation into the company's cost structure and operational efficiency.
