The subsequent recovery in 2023 and 2024 suggests that the company may have implemented strategies to enhance operational efficiency and profitability.

Overall, while the operating profit margin of Hologic Inc has shown variability in recent years, maintaining a strong operating profit margin is crucial for the company to remain financially healthy and competitive in its industry.
