In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, the company reported a pretax margin of approximately 5.09%, indicating that it was able to generate a modest profit relative to its earnings before taxes. By June 30, 2022, the margin declined sharply to roughly -0.99%, signaling that the company transitioned into a pretax loss position during that period. This downward movement continued into the subsequent years, with the margin further deteriorating to approximately -3.68% by June 30, 2023, and reaching about -4.95% by June 30, 2024, reflecting sustained pretax losses and possibly increased expenses or decreased revenues impacting overall profitability. Nonetheless, the projection for June 30, 2025, indicates a potential turnaround, with the pretax margin expected to improve to approximately 0.52%, suggesting a return to a marginal pretax profit. Overall, the trend reveals a period of declining profitability leading into a slight recovery, contingent upon operational and market factors influencing the company's earnings before taxes.
