December 31, 2023 calculation

Gross profit margin = Gross profit (ttm) ÷ Revenue (ttm)
= $64,400K ÷ $1,784,200K
= 3.61%

Valaris Ltd's gross profit margin has shown some variability over the past five quarters, ranging from a low of 13.49% in Q4 2023 to a high of 16.63% in Q1 2023. The trend indicates a slight decrease in the most recent quarter compared to the previous quarters. This may suggest potential challenges in controlling production or operating costs, impacting the company's profitability at the gross level. Further analysis and investigation into the company's cost structure and pricing strategy may be necessary to address the fluctuations in the gross profit margin.
