ScanSource Inc's return on assets (ROA) has shown fluctuations over the past few quarters. The ROA has been relatively stable in recent quarters, ranging between 4.28% to 5.03%. This indicates that the company has been able to generate a consistent level of profit relative to its total assets.

However, it is important to note that there were significant declines in ROA in the quarters ending in December 2021 and March 2021, with negative values of -14.54% and -15.12% respectively. These negative ROA figures suggest that the company may have struggled to efficiently utilize its assets to generate profits during those periods.
