Viavi Solutions Inc's profitability ratios have shown fluctuations over the past five years.

The gross profit margin has remained relatively stable, ranging from 57.57% to 59.85%. This indicates the company's ability to generate profits from its core operations after accounting for the cost of goods sold.

However, the operating profit margin has shown a significant decline from 14.31% in 2022 to 2.08% in 2024. This suggests that the company's operating expenses have increased or that its operating income has decreased in relation to sales.

Similarly, the pretax margin has fluctuated, with a noticeable drop in 2024 to 1.16%. This indicates that the company's profitability before considering taxes has decreased compared to previous years.

The net profit margin, which reflects the company's bottom line profitability, has also shown inconsistency, with a negative margin of -2.58% in 2024. This suggests that Viavi Solutions Inc incurred a net loss in that year, impacting its overall profitability.

In conclusion, while Viavi Solutions Inc has maintained a relatively stable gross profit margin, its operating profit margin, pretax margin, and net profit margin have shown fluctuations and downward trends in recent years, indicating potential challenges in managing operating expenses and generating bottom-line profitability. Further analysis is warranted to understand the underlying factors driving these changes.
