The gross profit margin, which reflects the company's ability to generate revenue after accounting for the cost of goods sold, has decreased from 44.80% in 2020 to 23.45% in 2024.

This suggests that Mercury Systems Inc is struggling to generate profits and may face challenges in sustaining its operations in the current business environment.

Overall, the declining trend in Mercury Systems Inc's profitability ratios indicates potential financial difficulties and the need for strategic measures to improve operational efficiency and restore profitability.
