The pretax margin of Bristow Group Inc has shown variability over the past five reporting periods. In December 2023, the pretax margin was 1.40%, slightly lower than the 1.65% reported in December 2022. Prior to that, there was a significant improvement from a negative pretax margin of -0.38% in March 2022 to a positive 1.65% in December 2022.

Looking further back, the company experienced negative pretax margins in March 2021 and December 2019, indicating challenges in generating profits before accounting for taxes during those periods.
