Liveramp Holdings Inc has shown a consistent improvement in its gross profit margin over the past few quarters, with an upward trend from 54.55% in December 2019 to 72.79% in March 2024. This indicates that the company is effectively managing its cost of goods sold.

However, the operating profit margin of Liveramp Holdings Inc has been fluctuating, with negative figures recorded in several quarters. The company experienced losses in operating efficiency, as seen in the negative margins from March 2020 to March 2023. Although there have been some improvements more recently, the operating profit margin remains low at 1.73% in March 2024.

The pretax margin has also shown variability, with positive figures in March 2020 and positive trends observed more recently, reaching 5.48% in March 2024. This indicates that Liveramp Holdings Inc has been able to control its operating expenses and generate a reasonable level of profit before taxes.

The net profit margin, on the other hand, has been negative for most quarters, indicating that Liveramp Holdings Inc has not been very successful in generating profits after all expenses are accounted for. Despite gradual improvements, the net profit margin remains low at 1.80% in March 2024.

Overall, Liveramp Holdings Inc has shown positive trends in certain profitability ratios such as gross profit and pretax margin, but continues to struggle with generating net profits consistently. This suggests that the company may need to focus on further cost management and revenue-generating strategies to enhance its overall profitability.
