Sabre Corp's profitability ratios show a mixed performance over the past eight quarters. The gross profit margin has generally remained stable, ranging between 57.94% and 60.55%, indicating the company effectively manages its cost of goods sold.
However, the operating profit margin has fluctuated significantly, from negative margins of -27.84% to positive margins of 1.62%. This may suggest fluctuations in operating expenses or inefficiencies in cost management during the periods.
The pretax margin has also shown variability, ranging from -32.65% to -16.69%, indicating fluctuations in income before taxes relative to total revenue. This volatility could be influenced by changes in operating income and non-operating expenses.
Lastly, the net profit margin has shown a similar fluctuating trend, with values ranging from -32.98% to -18.01%. This suggests that the company's bottom-line performance has been inconsistent, reflecting challenges in generating profits after accounting for all expenses, including taxes.
Overall, Sabre Corp's profitability ratios demonstrate a need for improved cost management and operational efficiency to enhance overall profitability and financial stability.
