O-I Glass Inc's profitability ratios exhibit varying trends over the past few quarters. The gross profit margin has shown a consistent improvement, increasing from 18.98% in December 2019 to 22.12% in December 2023. This indicates the company's ability to generate more profit from its sales after accounting for the cost of goods sold.

In terms of operating profit margin, there has been fluctuation with both positive and negative margins seen across the periods. The highest operating profit margin was recorded in March 2023 at 13.51%, while the lowest was in June 2020 at -7.12%. This suggests some volatility in the company's ability to control its operating expenses relative to its revenue.

The pretax margin has also displayed variability, with the highest margin seen in June 2023 at 10.66% and the lowest in June 2020 at -8.83%. This ratio reflects the company's ability to manage its expenses and taxes in relation to its total revenue.

The net profit margin has similarly fluctuated, with the highest margin observed in June 2023 at 10.48% and the lowest in June 2020 at -10.03%. This ratio demonstrates the company's overall profitability after all expenses, including interest and taxes, have been deducted from revenue.

Overall, while O-I Glass Inc has shown an improvement in gross profit margin, the fluctuating trends in operating, pretax, and net profit margins indicate some challenges in controlling expenses and achieving consistent profitability over the analyzed periods.
