The operating profit margin of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp has exhibited significant variability over the analyzed period. As of June 30, 2021, the company reported a negative operating profit margin of -18.87%, indicating that operating expenses substantially exceeded operating revenues, likely reflecting the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations, event cancellations, and related revenues.

By June 30, 2022, the operating profit margin had improved markedly to 10.48%, signaling a turnaround and a period of recovery, possibly driven by the resumption of events, increased ticket sales, and related revenue streams. The margin remained relatively stable at 9.60% as of June 30, 2023, which suggests that the company's profitability from core operations has been maintained at a positive level following the recovery phase.

Looking forward, the operating profit margin increased further to 14.22% as of June 30, 2024, indicating continued operational efficiency and profitability expansion. However, the figure declined sharply to 1.42% as of June 30, 2025, suggesting a significant downturn in operational profitability. This decline could be attributable to elevated costs, reduced revenues, strategic investments, or other operational challenges faced during that period.

Overall, the trend reflects a recovery from the pandemic-induced losses, with a peak in 2024 followed by a notable decrease in 2025, underscoring potential challenges or shifts in operating performance in the most recent fiscal year.
