Interface Inc.'s pretax margin has shown significant variability over the past eight quarters. In Q4 2023, the pretax margin was at 5.05%, marking a notable increase from the previous quarter at 0.95%. However, this quarter's performance still falls below the levels seen in the same period in the prior year where it stood at 3.23%.

The recent increase in pretax margin could be attributed to various factors such as cost management initiatives, revenue growth, or a one-time gain. It is essential to monitor future quarters to determine if this improvement is sustainable or if it was a temporary anomaly.

Overall, Interface Inc.'s pretax margin trend indicates some fluctuation, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive analysis of the company's financial performance beyond a single ratio.
