Overall, the company's pretax margin demonstrates considerable variability, with an initial high in 2021, a sharp decline in 2022, followed by gradual improvements leading into 2025. The upward trend observed from 2023 onward suggests a possible recovery phase, potentially driven by strategic adjustments, cost controls, or changes in revenue streams. However, the margin remains below the initial 2021 level, highlighting ongoing challenges or market conditions that continue to influence profitability.
