The net profit margin of ScanSource Inc. demonstrates a notable transition from negative to positive territory over the analyzed period. Initially, during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, the company experienced significant losses, with a net profit margin of -6.63%, and it further declined to -7.85% by the end of 2020, reflecting challenges in profitability or potentially high costs relative to revenue. Throughout 2021, these negative margins persisted, reaching as low as -7.84% in March 2021 before beginning a recovery trend in the subsequent quarters.

Beginning in June 2021, the net profit margin turned positive at 0.34%, indicating an improvement in profitability. This upward trajectory continued into late 2021 and throughout 2022, with margins steadily increasing to a peak of approximately 2.71% in March 2022. During this period, the company maintained stable profitability, with minor fluctuations, until mid-2022, when margins slightly declined but generally remained within the 2.3% to 2.5% range through to September 2023.

From late 2023 onward, the net profit margin showed minor variability, oscillating between approximately 2.08% and 2.49%, suggesting maintained, though modest, profitability levels. Notably, there was a slight decline in margins toward September 2024, reaching 2.08%, followed by a modest recovery to 2.45% in December 2024 and fluctuations around 2.27% to 2.35% in the first half of 2025.

Overall, the progression from negative margins in 2020 to stable positive margins in subsequent years indicates a significant turnaround in profitability. The company's net profit margin has stabilized around the 2% to 2.5% range, reflecting consistent, albeit moderate, profitability levels in recent periods.
