In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, the company reported a negative net profit margin of -0.58%, indicating unprofitable operations during that period. This negative trend persisted through December 31, 2020, with a marginal decline to -0.65%, and continued into the first quarter of 2021, registering at -0.53%.

Starting in the second quarter of 2021, a positive shift became evident; the net profit margin turned positive at 0.13%, followed by a slight increase to 0.14% in the third quarter of 2021. The margin stabilized around this positive, although modest, level through the end of 2021, with values of 0.09% in December and 0.15% in March 2022. Throughout 2022, the net profit margin exhibited a consistent upward trajectory, reaching 0.22% by June 2022, and further strengthening to 0.37% by September 2022, and 0.47% in December 2022.

In 2023, the upward trend persisted with the margin reaching 0.57% in March, 0.69% in June, and peaking at 0.73% in September. The momentum continued into the subsequent quarters, with margins of approximately 0.72% in December 2023, a slight decrease to 0.72% in March 2024, and a continued modest increase to 0.75% in June 2024. During the most recent quarter available, September 2024, the net profit margin remained steady at 0.72%, followed by a decline to 0.64% in December 2024. The first quarter of 2025 saw a further decrease to 0.61%, and by June 2025, the ratio declined to 0.54%.

Overall, the data indicates a significant improvement in profitability following a period of losses, with the net profit margin moving into positive territory and exhibiting a gradual upward trend over two years. Nonetheless, the margins remain relatively modest, reflecting a company that continues to operate with relatively thin profit margins, despite clear signs of ongoing profitability and operational efficiency gains.
