As of June 30, 2021, the company's return on total capital stood at 12.04%, indicating a relatively moderate level of profitability relative to its total capital base. By June 30, 2022, this metric experienced a significant increase to 17.85%, representing an improvement of approximately 5.81 percentage points and reflecting enhanced efficiency or profitability in deploying its capital.
The upward trend continued, with the return reaching a peak of 27.11% as of June 30, 2023. This substantial increase suggests that the company significantly improved its ability to generate profit from its total capital during this period, possibly due to operational efficiencies, favorable market conditions, or strategic initiatives.
Following this peak, a decline is observed in the subsequent year, with the return on total capital decreasing to 15.31% as of June 30, 2024. This reduced figure indicates a correction in the company's profitability relative to its total capital, which could be attributable to increased capital expenditures, changes in margins, or external economic factors affecting operational performance.
By June 30, 2025, the return further declined to 13.03%, although it remains above the levels reported in 2021. The pattern suggests a trend of diminishing returns after the peak in 2023, but the company continues to maintain a return on total capital that is materially higher than the initial level observed in 2021.
Overall, the data indicates that Standex International Corporation experienced a period of robust performance in 2022 and 2023, followed by a normalization phase in 2024 and 2025.
