The profitability ratios of Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. over the indicated periods reveal a trajectory markedly characterized by significant deterioration followed by gradual recovery and notable recent improvements.
Starting with gross profit margin, the company experienced persistent negative values from June 2020 through initial parts of 2023, with margins deepening to as low as -98.37% during March 2021. This pattern indicates that the firm's cost of goods sold or operating expenses consistently outpaced revenue, reflecting severe operational challenges, possibly related to the industry disruptions or internal inefficiencies. Notably, from March 2022 onwards, the gross profit margin exhibited progressive improvement, turning positive by June 2022 at 4.40%, and reaching 11.07% by December 2024. This trend suggests successful efforts to control costs and improve revenue generation or product mix.
The operating profit margin displayed a similar pattern, initially deeply negative from mid-2020 through early 2022, with a nadir of -105.09% in March 2021, illustrating a period of profound operating losses. From March 2022, the operating margin consistently moved into positive territory, achieving 3.00% in June 2022 and rising further to around 8% in late 2024. The gradual transition into profitability indicates that the company has been able to improve its core operating efficiency, likely through strategic cost reductions or revenue enhancements.
Pre-tax margins reflect the same trend, with substantial negative figures in the initial periods, reaching as low as -207.33% in March 2021. From this point forward, the margins improved steadily, turning positive in September 2022 and maintaining positive values through late 2024. Notably, in the most recent period ending March 2025, pre-tax margins soared to 64.57%, indicating an exceptional level of profitability before taxes, potentially influenced by exceptional gains or other non-operational factors.
The net profit margin followed this recovery pattern closely. It was profoundly negative during 2020 and early 2021, with a low of -224.36% in March 2021, reflecting net losses exceeding revenue. From late 2022 onward, the company returned to profitability, with the net profit margin climbing to over 2% by September 2024. Remarkably, in March 2025, the net profit margin skyrocketed to 277.65%, suggesting a spectacular turnaround driven perhaps by extraordinary items, a significant reduction in expenses, or revenue recognition effects.
In summary, Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. faced severe financial distress in the periods from mid-2020 through early 2022, as evidenced by strongly negative profitability ratios across all measures. However, from mid-2022 onward, the company demonstrated substantial and sustained recovery, with margins turning positive and improving steadily, culminating in an exceptional profitability level by early 2025. This evolution signifies effective strategic or operational changes, a recovery from prior losses, and a period of strong financial performance in recent quarters.

The profitability ratios of Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. reveal a significant turnaround over the analyzed period, illustrating a noteworthy recovery from prior losses toward improving operations and profitability.
Starting with the Operating Return on Assets (Operating ROA), the trend indicates substantial improvement over time. Initially, the company experienced negative Operating ROA figures, starting at -1.32% as of June 30, 2020, and deepening to -14.63% by December 31, 2020. Throughout 2021, this negative trend persisted, reaching as low as -17.12% by March 31, 2021. However, from mid-2022 onward, a consistent positive trend emerges: the Operating ROA progressed from modest positive levels, at 2.40% as of June 30, 2022, to over 8% by December 31, 2024. This sustained improvement indicates increased efficiency in generating operating income from the company's assets.
In terms of the broader Return on Assets (ROA), the company demonstrated a similar pattern. The ROA remained negative at the start, with -26.73% on June 30, 2020, and gradually moved toward profitability. By September 30, 2022, ROA turned positive at 0.56%, and continued to climb steadily, reaching a peak of notably high levels, such as 43.61% as of December 31, 2024. The pronounced leap indicates that the company not only recovered but became highly efficient in generating net income relative to its total assets during this period. However, the decline from the peak to 43.54% in March 2025 suggests some moderation or adjustments in profitability in the most recent quarter.
The Return on Total Capital (ROTC) displays extreme volatility, with negative values deepening sharply during 2020 and 2021, reflecting substantial losses relative to total capital. For instance, ROTC was at -147.52% on June 30, 2020, and plunged further to -829.70% on June 30, 2021. The sharp negative figures imply that during these periods, the company was generating losses exceeding its invested capital, likely due to high expenses or write-downs. Nevertheless, starting around September 2022, ROTC shifted into positive territory, reaching peaks such as 626.28% and 457.16% in late 2022, indicating periods of exceptionally high returns relative to capital invested—potentially due to capital restructuring, asset appreciation, or exceptional earnings. However, the subsequent decline to negative territory in early 2025 suggests a retrenchment from these peaks, possibly owing to increased expenses, reduced asset values, or other operational challenges.
Lastly, the Return on Equity (ROE) experienced immense volatility, commencing with highly negative ratios (e.g., -173.55% as of June 30, 2020) implying significant shareholder losses or equity erosion. This trend underscores the company's challenging financial condition during early periods. Nevertheless, by late 2022 and onward, ROE turned positive, reaching as high as 145.88% on December 31, 2022. The subsequent fluctuations, settling around 72.82% in March 2025, suggest that the company has regained and preserved a strong profitability position relative to shareholders’ equity. The high ROE levels, especially when paired with fluctuating net income, may indicate leveraging effects or changes in equity base.
Overall, the company's profitability profile reflects a significant recovery trajectory from extensive losses in the earlier period, achieving consistent positive margins and high returns in recent periods. The substantial swings in some ratios highlight periods of extraordinary earnings as well as volatility, which merit further investigation to understand the factors driving these fluctuations. The recent data indicates an operational turnabout, positioning Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. on a path toward sustained profitability with high efficiency in asset and equity utilization.
