This pattern suggests a gradual erosion of the company's profitability relative to shareholders' equity. Several factors could underpin this trend, such as increased equity base without proportional growth in net income, heightened competitive pressures impacting profit margins, or operational challenges reducing efficiency. The persistent decline across multiple fiscal years warrants further investigation into underlying operational and financial factors influencing the company's ability to generate returns on shareholders' equity.
