= $32,500K ÷ $2,447,900K
= 1.33%

Mativ Holdings Inc.'s operating return on assets (operating ROA) has experienced fluctuations over the given periods. The trend shows a gradual decline from a high of 8.32% on March 31, 2020, to a low of -17.01% on June 30, 2024, followed by a modest recovery to 1.33% on December 31, 2024.

The operating ROA peaked in the first half of 2020 but then started to decline significantly, with negative returns observed from September 30, 2023, to June 30, 2024. These negative returns indicate that the company's operating profit generated from its assets was insufficient to cover the asset base during these periods.

Overall, the decreasing trend in operating ROA suggests that Mativ Holdings Inc. may be facing challenges in efficiently utilizing its assets to generate operating income. Further analysis of the company's operational efficiency and profitability drivers may be necessary to address the declining trend in operating ROA.
