The profitability ratios of Envista Holdings Corp show fluctuating trends over the five-year period.

1. Gross Profit Margin: Envista's gross profit margin has generally improved from 54.68% in 2020 to 57.41% in 2022 but slightly decreased to 54.74% in 2024. This indicates the company's ability to generate profits from its core operations after accounting for the cost of goods sold.

2. Operating Profit Margin: The operating profit margin experienced significant variability, ranging from a low of 2.25% in 2020 to a high of 12.42% in 2022. However, it significantly declined to -41.40% in 2024, suggesting operational challenges or inefficiencies impacting profitability.

3. Pretax Margin: Envista's pretax margin showed a similar trend as operating profit margin, with fluctuations over the years. It increased from -1.51% in 2020 to a peak of 13.21% in 2021 before dropping to -43.25% in 2024.

The negative margin in 2024 signifies that the company's net profit after all expenses and taxes exceeded its revenue, indicating potential financial distress.

In summary, Envista Holdings Corp's profitability ratios have shown mixed performance over the period, with improvements in gross profit margin offset by significant declines in operating, pretax, and net profit margins in recent years. This suggests a need for the company to address operational efficiency and cost management to restore profitability and financial stability.
