= 1.64%

The operating profit margin of Mativ Holdings Inc. has shown a declining trend over the analyzed period, starting at 13.42% on March 31, 2020, and decreasing to 1.64% on December 31, 2024. This indicates that the company's operating profit as a percentage of its revenue has been deteriorating, signifying potential challenges in managing operating expenses or decreasing revenue generation relative to costs. The most significant drops in the operating profit margin occurred in the latter half of 2023 and the first half of 2024 when the margin turned negative, implying that operating expenses exceeded the operating profit during these periods. Such negative margins can be a cause for concern as they suggest the company may not be effectively controlling costs relative to the revenue it generates. It is important for the company to closely monitor and address the factors contributing to this decline in operating profit margin to ensure sustainable profitability in the future.
